A neighbourhood specialty coffee shop in Fort Pienc — a quiet Eixample-adjacent neighbourhood that most visitors never reach — where the beans are well-sourced, the brewing is precise, and the atmosphere is the atmosphere of a cafe that serves its neighbours rather than tourists. Three Marks represents the Barcelona specialty coffee scene's expansion beyond the centre: good coffee in a real neighbourhood, for real people, without the performance.
