Idle Hands Girona: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I love this little place in Gerona. I'm a repeat customer. Every time I go to Gerona I somehow find myself sitting there and enjoying the restaurant. It’s tucked away like a little secret. Perhaps, you know, this is the place to meet your lover for a coffee or something to eat. Gluten free if you’re so inclined! They also have a nice record collection for sale. Be quick though because they are transitioning from selling records to selling art! Right now they have them on sale! I personally love the records and wish they would keep them. I digress. This is a must if you are into real food and a cozy casual atmosphere.
Fantastic experience:
Good coffee and good dishes. Very tasty breakfasts.

Fantastic experience: This place! Located on such a charming square, hidden away. Very nice staff and lovely art. The eggs Benedict was delicious. When I first saw it, I was afraid it was gonna be too small, but then I was plenty full. Coming from Portugal, this place is certainly more expensive than I’m used to, but the food quality was high.
Fantastic experience: We had 2 meals here during our trip and both were amazing! 5/5 The food, coffee, and service are all top notch.

Fantastic experience: Great place to start your day. Delish breakfast.
Fantastic experience: A Hidden Gem for Coffee Lovers! If you're hunting for a barista coffee spot with a personal touch, look no further—this is the must-go location. With specialty coffee and ever-changing brews that surprise you every time, it’s a step above the rest. We've been to Espresso Mafia and Hidden Barista Coffee, but this spot stood out as the most authentic, not driven by commercialism but fueled by pure passion for coffee and community. The level of hostmanship? Absolutely flawless. And the cherry on top? Their thoughtful showcase of local artists' work on the walls. It transforms the space into more than just a café—it’s an inspiring hub where art and coffee culture collide. You’ll leave not just caffeinated, but also creatively recharged.
Fantastic experience: A cutesy place which I’ve googled and saw someone posted. We ordered the autumn special and chicken salad, pair with zero beers. Service was really attentive and honestly the food was really really our good, though was a short visit to rest n fuel Up. Thank Mr Joan for your kind service ! If you are Girona, this place is a worthy pit stop !

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, cozy vibe, delicious food, friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, and wonderful food! Interior is very well thought off, which makes the atmosphere very cozy and pleasant. Would definitely come back here.
Fantastic experience: Super café, in a slightly secluded corner of the center, with a small garden and beautiful interior. I went with my girlfriend for brunch and everything was absolutely fine. The food selection was extremely rich (many dishes in gluten-free versions), making it almost hard to choose from the entire menu... good coffee (batch and cold brew), the service friendly and nice (we discussed with them which coffee to choose for home brewing and it was great communication). Also, there were some vinyls available for purchase inside. Overall, just a traditional quality modern café that perfectly meets the requirements.
Fantastic experience: AMAZING my favourite cafe
Fantastic experience:
A place a bit off the beaten path, almost a secret, I invite you to discover it. The music is great, for fans of the best vinyl records. It's peaceful. It's pleasant. It's nice. Kiss

Fantastic experience: The pancakes with peach and granola were excellent. You can tell they were made with love! Nice calm atmosphere with good quality food.

Fantastic experience: Really great service, food was simply outstanding. Excellent coffee and vegan options as well. Heavily recommend the corn fritters.
Fantastic experience: I recently enjoyed the Eggs Benedict with salmon at Idle Hands. The dish was delicious, with perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise, and fresh, flavorful salmon. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: The cafe is built inside an old house which adds to the rustic ambience very well. The food is high quality and they serve great coffee.
Fantastic experience: Little hidden gem for a delicious and filling breakfast. Really good service and a pleasant place to sit outside in the shade. Really recommended.
Fantastic experience: Delicious breakfast food. The Turkish eggs were a little spicy with tangy yogurt. The bread was hot and toasty, and the fresh mint tea was very nice. I’d definitely go again.
Fantastic experience: Idle hands definitely not idle. I went there to have a burger. Jacob and I started talking about his music collection and record shop and beer. He was very passionate about the business. The burger and beer was sublime. It was a great experience. Definitely go and check this place out.
Fantastic experience: A super nice place in Girona! Lovely owners, with passion ♡
Fantastic experience: Great place to have a coffee and a vegan shakshuka!
Fantastic experience: Very good coffee
Fantastic experience: This place has it all. Perfect spot to chill, work, drink the best coffee and a sufficient menu to suit all. In addition, the music is always on point thanks to their record collection.
Fantastic experience:
Nice place in a little corner of the city center. Menu that adapts to the season with vegan options, perhaps with limited options but of great quality.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Seriously best place in town! Fun staff, good vibes only, fantastic food options. Will come back for more!
Fantastic experience: Very lovely staff, kind and considerate when dealing with an understandably busy brunch crowd!

Fantastic experience: So glad we came here. Stumbled into Idle Hands for dinner and they were able to accommodate us.

Fantastic experience:
Perfect. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely delicious— and I have high expectations when it comes to brunch. If I lived here I would be in all the time! My husband and I had the Benny, and our kids had the pancakes. I tried the fruity filtered brew coffee and enjoyed it.
Fantastic experience:
Great as always, whether for coffee, a beer, or having something to eat, one of the best places in Girona.

Fantastic experience: Lovely cafe run by a friendly couple. Good shakshuka!

Fantastic experience:
We found this place searching on Google Maps, and to be honest, it's definitely worth it. It's tucked away in a very quiet little street, and the venue is very nice. What we liked the most was the service, because they were very pleasant, and the atmosphere is good, very calm. And to top it off, we ate well, so we will come back ✨
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Very nice spot with good food, good service and good music! We had pancakes and salad, they were made perfectly! Bonus: Dogs are welcomed!
Fantastic experience: Awesome food, great service! Mostly vegan.
Positive experience:
Great discovery! We loved it
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
I liked it a lot, I would go back. In my opinion, the pancakes were a bit too dry (they needed more syrup or some sauce), I didn't like the filtered water at all.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience: If you’re in a rush, this is not the place for a 'quick brunch' because waiting time is long, we waited more than 40 minutes for our food but it was worth it, everything tasted fresh (because there’s only 1 cook and 1 waiter). We tried the pancakes with miso caramelized apples, they were exquisite but kind of dry, I would have preferred a little more cream on them, then the eggs benedict with beetroot marinated salmon and hollandaise sauce was very well balanced, then I tried the club sandwich that was on point. We paid €42.50 with the quota included (a 10% tip basically) that we weren’t informed of, I would have appreciated if it had been communicated instead of just making us pay, it would have made the overall experience more enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Cozy little cafe in the center of Girona. Nicely decorated and the vinyl collection is inspiring. Thank you for the warm welcome to Girona :)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful food. Great service. A definite must visit!
Fantastic experience:
Good atmosphere, good music, and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back!

I loved the place, the service, the food... EVERYTHING!
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this cafe, it's an absolute gem in this small town. I'm a regular and their food never gets old. Both their breakfast options and their dinner service are wonderful experiences. You can't go wrong with ordering literally anything on the menu. Great coffee too!
Fantastic experience: This is a very spacious and cozy restaurant, with chill music playing in the background. We enjoyed a proper western brunch after a week of Spanish food! Salmon eggs benny was succulent and the eggplant in the shakshuka was a nice addition. The egg on the shakshuka was a bit over cooked, but other than that no complaints. Portions were reasonable too. Thanks for the meal!
Fantastic experience: Really great place! Tasty food, very nice and friendly people, good music!
Fantastic experience: Probably the best spot in Girona for a filter coffee. Amazing food and vibe. We came with a kid and were suggested with a bunch of toys, also the chef cooked a small dish out of the menu exactly for a baby. Loved the fact it was kinda hidden from the main tourist route which made it a bit more special.
Fantastic experience: I wish you all a place like this for coffee and wine!
Fantastic experience: Best coffee in Girona, no doubts about it. Their cakes are also amazing, I usually don't like vegan cakes but this place is amazing at them. Next time I will definitely be going for breakfast or brunch to try even more.
Fantastic experience: Delicious coffee, their eggs benedict were incredible and the atmosphere of the place was so peaceful. We had an amazing time and the service was very pleasant! I would recommend it to anyone who visits Girona!
Fantastic experience: Everything is top quality! Best brunch in town ♥️
Fantastic experience: Some of the best coffee in Girona. Staff/Owners happy for a chat and to make local recommendations.
Fantastic experience: Visited Girona as a day trip and because of the reviews I decided to come. This place did not disappoint. Our host was extremely sweet and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the pancakes and the Bahn mi sandwich. If I ever return I will be visiting this place again.
Fantastic experience: Came for breakfast on a day trip to Girona! Great options for Vegans! The corn fritters are incredible!
Fantastic experience:
A place where art, gastronomy, and good coffee converge :) Excellent flat white and banana cake.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Amazing and artistic place, beautifully decorated, cozy, good food and coffee. It was a great experience, and I will definitely come back.
Fantastic experience: Just perfect. We went there initially to have a drink (craft beer, we tried one from DosKiwis brewing, which we already had heard about) but as time passed we decided to eat there as well, and what a surprise!! The food was excellent. We shared (4) something I can't remember now with eggplant; a salad with watermelon, tomato and feta, bread with olive oil and then the burgers (chicken, fish and beef). OMG the burgers. Good product with the right combination of ingredients. The chicken one is quite spicy (jalapeño mayo), but if you're into it, really worth ordering. Good quality price overall. We will go back for sure!
Fantastic experience: I give 5 stars because of the good food (brunch) and the friendly service. A big difference from other places in Girona with rude non-English speaking waiters. The wait time for the food was about 30 minutes for us, which was unfortunate as we were in a hurry. So now we had to shove down the delicious dishes and rush on. What a shame, it would have been nice to sit longer and enjoy. Very few outdoor seats, so we had to sit inside. But it was nice anyway. I recommend.
Fantastic experience: I always have a nice time here - such good coffee (arguably best in Girona), the people are very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely
Fantastic experience:
Small place with a beautiful atmosphere, where we had dinner with quality products, all made by them. The chicken burger was excellent and the tiramisu was a 10. The service provided by the staff was very good.

Fantastic experience: The perfect brunch place in Girona! Try the eggs benedict!
Fantastic experience: On vacation in Girona and discovered Idle Hands. Friendly service, excellent coffee and the food was top class. Managed to eat there a second time before heading home. Would strongly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Cool and chilled location. Small but delicious menu accompanied by craft beers and organic wines. We had the Banh Mi baguette and the Shakshuka. Beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients and delicious flavours. Great people too!
Fantastic experience: Idle Hands is my favourite place to go in Girona. They are meticulous with their coffee, which always tastes amazing. I love the international flavours - especially the vegan Vietnamese banh mi. If you want somewhere that offers incredibly tasty food but without the stuffiness of a more traditional restaurant, this is it.
Fantastic experience:
We ordered the chicken burger and I thought it was DELICIOUS. It had been a while since I had eaten such a tasty burger. The price was a bit high. The service was great, good atmosphere and very cozy. Good background music and art.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Idle Hands has quickly become one of the best spots in Girona. Their food is incredible, whether it be for brunch or tapas. The coffee cannot be knocked. Either #1 or #2 in town, Jacob is a master coffee man (geek) for all of the needs. You know it’s good when the owner of the other best cafe in town comes to drink coffee here. The atmosphere is unrivalled in IH. The huge vinyl collection mixed with the great interior design gives it a truly unique vibe. Not a cycling theme in sight. Isla is lovely, Lluc is amazing. In fact I’m sad I’m not sat there right now writing this review.
Fantastic experience: Idle Hands has a delicious breakfast and incredible speciality coffee! You can feel the intentionality behind everything they do and the hospitality is top notch! Definitely would recommend Idle Hands!
Fantastic experience: If you find yourself in the vicinity of Girona, this venue is an essential stop. The atmosphere radiates positivity, making it a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Cyclists will particularly appreciate the hassle-free accessibility. The staff goes above and beyond, offering unparalleled customer service that leaves you feeling more like a friend than a patron. As for the coffee, it's in a league of its own, and it pairs beautifully with their remarkable culinary creations, each dish crafted from premium ingredients to achieve gastronomic excellence.
Fantastic experience: Best specialty coffee in town in cozy surroundings. The cafe is beautifully designed by its owners and frequent art exhibitions make it a unique spot in Girona to enjoy your coffee, food as well as natural wines. It caters for vegans and there are gluten free options too. Tacked in a charming little square, away from noise but filled with cool music and friendly vibes. Do not miss!
Fantastic experience: Slightly hidden away but well worth a visit. The food is stunning and full of flavour. Do not miss this place.
Fantastic experience: good vegan options and great atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant spot for coffee or brunch. We stopped in here a number of times over our stay. Great atmosphere and impeccable service! The team are really friendly and helpful. Coffee was great. Added bonus - they play a great set of tunes on vinyl! Definitely worth the stop.
Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful place with a great mix of locals and expats -- the atmosphere is welcoming and convivial and the food, beer, wine, and coffee is outstanding. The owners and staff know their stuff and will steer you to what you want, whether it's a breakfast beer (yes), the perfect coffee pick me up, or that delicious meal you were craving. Get a table or come to one of the music parties; eat, drink, and be merry; and make some new friends while you are at it.
Fantastic experience: Cozy place with the best coffee in Girona! They made their mochas with real chocolate, and the double espresso was outstanding — that is what real coffee should taste like! Tea lovers are welcome here too, as the loose leaf tea is wonderful and definitely worth trying. We also got the pancakes — lovely and fluffy, and the veggies on the muhamara toast were so fresh. Additionally, they have a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the server was so incredibly friendly, bringing refills and warm sourdough bread. You MUST visit if you’re in Girona!
Fantastic experience: Good speciality coffee place, perhaps the best one I visited in Spain and Catalonia (though I have not visited many). If you like speciality coffee and you’re in Girona then I advise you to visit. The barista is really friendly and helpful. The food is really good save for relatively high prices. Nevertheless it is still above average in how the recipes try to be original in some way. Personally I can recommend the muhammara toast with 2 poached eggs as perfect breakfast.
Fantastic experience: awesome, married owners. great soundtrack powered by an impressive sound system and vinyl. excellent coffee and although not primarily a vegan joint, there were thankfully some vegan options! really enjoyed the vegan bahn mi!
Fantastic experience: The food here is always amazing and if I could give the service 6 stars I would. Jacob, Ayla, Luc and the team are always outstanding. I highly recommend a visit to Idle Hands.
Positive experience:
Small but cozy place. Although expensive. Two beers 11€?

Fantastic experience: Excellent food and atmosphere! All staff are very friendly and speak English. Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: Great place, great people, great COFFEE, great food …. Nothing to add, just go for it.
Fantastic experience: Small menu but super delicious, good food. Coffee was excellent also and they have non dairy milks available. Indoor and outdoor seating, located in cute cobblestone alleyway in the city.
Positive experience:
Overall, I had a good experience at this café. It is a very nice place, the food is very good, although I think it is a bit expensive. However, today I had a misunderstanding with the service. I asked if I could have a coffee in the coworking area and they replied yes, but then they asked me to move, even before I finished my coffee. And they made me feel uncomfortable. I believe something like this can be avoided by clarifying to their customers where they can sit or if they offer and until what time the coworking service is available. I wanted to express my disagreement to the shift manager and my belief that it could be improved with prior information. The owner's response was 'if you don't like it, you don't have to keep coming'. Ok.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Fantastic all round!! Only went in for coffee but couldn't resist the pancakes! Great service and perfect atmosphere too.
Fantastic experience:
Excellent. The best Benedicts I've tried. Relaxed atmosphere, good music, cozy and very well located. Excellent service. A must if you enjoy having a good brunch in a cozy environment.

Fantastic experience: I haven’t had a second to write a review on my week in the area but wanted to make sure I write one for this amazing place. We stumbled upon it and were welcomed by the kindest folks and some of the best food I’ve had on my trip. I know I said this to them when I was there, but this was one of the BEST banh mi I’ve had in my life (and I’m Asian…I’ve had a lot of banh mi!!). Their care in the food is clear, and every detail was perfect — down to the ideal balance of sweet, acidic, and salty of the pickled vegetables on the sandwich. My partner had the corn cakes and they were delicious!! Everything here was lovely and I am so thankful we stumbled upon this lovely place.
Fantastic experience:
Idle Hands is a great place with attentive servers. I recommend all the French who read this message to come and have a brunch / coffee.

Fantastic experience: We just stopped by for a coffee. It was really nice and service was just perfect.
Fantastic experience: The best spot in Girona for good coffee (flat whites and killer (cold) brews!), brunch and some Doskiwis. Oh, and, after some meticulous research: best pancakes of Girona!! Also, best staff! Hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Doesn't get any better for food, coffee, service, or good vibes. They also do wine and beers some nights.
Fantastic experience: This place! Truly incredible. The ambience, the beautiful finishings. I had the bahn mi which was sensational, the coffee was amazing. Great service! The barista went above and beyond. How they have local artists' works, records, wines - definitely worth a visit if you’re in Girona! I’ll be back!

Fantastic experience: Awesome tapas, amazing wine and great atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Awesome hidden gem in Girona. We parked and happened to stumble across it, the first place we went, what an absolute pleasure. Amazing coffee and great vibe.
Fantastic experience: I don't like to give all 5 stars because it suggests that there is no room for growth and I think there's always room for improvement. But every time I've been here, it's absolutely the vibe. Excellent and consistent food, the staff are laid-back and familiar, and the atmosphere is inviting to all walks of life. One of Girona's new gems that I hope stays around for a long time.
Fantastic experience: Amazing space and lovely food and coffee!

Fantastic experience: Lovely coffee shop in Gerona! The coffee was excellent specialty coffee and the staff very friendly! We sat on the terrace which is located in a little street and is very atmospheric, but the coffee inside looks super nice too! They sell records and coffee beans, and offer some sweet treats too. I’ll certainly return the next time I’m in the area!
Fantastic experience: Great place, great food, great coffee and very nice people

Fantastic experience: We had the Ethiopian and Rwandan specialty coffees together with granola and it was sublime. Came back the next day to have their shakshuka and eggs Benedict. Pity we are leaving Girona today as would have loved to come back a third time.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! The couple who own it are super friendly, and the service they offer is brilliant. The food is great and the selection of drinks also. The place is very stylishly decorated, and it's a lovely spot for a coffee, lunch, or evening drink. Will be back to check out the live music nights too.
Fantastic experience: Idle Hands is a lovely place! We’ve enjoyed delicious plates of food (we shared). The menu is a representation of the creativity of the owners.

Fantastic experience: I stopped at Idle Hands recently while on a day trip to Girona and was totally blown away! My partner and I are vegan, and they had a few delicious options. The menu is not big, but it's easy to tell that they put maximum effort into every single item to make sure it's perfect. The atmosphere of the place is also great--the decoration is gorgeous. If you're in Girona, this is the place!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic spot just a little off the beaten path. The owners were incredibly nice and the service was fantastic. A truly positive first visit here. Went for a latte and a Steak salad and it was delicious. Highly recommended. Also picked up some coffee beans to take home too!
Fantastic experience:
The best place in Girona for specialty coffee, no doubt. Good variety of food as well.

Fantastic experience: The food is always delicious and interesting! Gluten-free options are stellar. I don’t feel like the GF option compromises the meal in any way. Also the people are just lovely. I’d give more stars if I could.
Fantastic experience: The dishes were very tasty. The hosts are friendly and the interior is stylish. Nomad grains and a large selection of craft beers. New place to visit!

Excellent atmosphere and product; I stopped by quickly to get a Banh Mi sandwich that was recommended to me. One of the best healthy and quick meals in Girona; the specialty coffee NOMAD knows how to make it, it couldn't fail. 100% recommended.

Fantastic experience: Idle Hands is a restaurant/cafe offering a smaller menu of delicious food, plus coffee, beer and wine. I had the slow cooked pork cheek (pictured) and it was absolutely delicious! The plating looks small but I can assure you it was plenty for lunch and also very balanced flavours. There's plenty of seating both indoor for a more formal setting, by the counter (for a casual coffee) or outdoor. The coffee is delicious and there's also a selection of bakery items (croissants, pastries etc) available. The owners are from Belgium and the UK and have renovated the space nicely to have a cosy, but upmarket feel. Highly recommend and so glad to have these guys here in Girona!
Fantastic experience:
We found this place in Girona and we loved it. The decoration is made with a lot of care, they have a vinyl record shop and they play them in the store. An excellent coffee, delicious food, and a good selection of wines. Very friendly and professional service, a very cozy experience. We will return.
