Horchata or orxata http://alturl.com/tbj94 is a cold white beverage very popular in Catalonia and Valencia. At Orxateria Miquel they make their own orxata and granizats (natural frozen fruit juice).
If you like orxata but also want to sit, this is the oldest and best one. Near Plaça Universitat.
Best hot chocolate in Barcelona. Their whipped cream is very thick, hand made! Try a suïs (chocolate + whipped cream) with melindros (leave churros for your Madrid visit) for a true Barcelona merienda
