I have never been to Txapela for tapas before, but it is definitely an ideal place to have a light breakfast before heading to the airport because it is only 3 mins away from the Passeig de Gracia station for Renfe R2 Nord train to Barcelona El Prat Airport!
For 2.25 you can have a coffee and a pastry or a mini sandwich, which is flauta. There were more choices in terms of both pastries and sandwiches than Boldu. For pastries, you may choose from xuixo, croissant, chocolate croissant, donut, chocolate donut and muffin. For sandwiches, you may choose from ham and cheese, Manchego Cheese, fuet from vic and Spanish tortilla.
Although the sandwich was served cold, the the flauta was very fresh. I tried the one with fuet sausage, which there was a generous amount of fuet pieces inside. I love fuet because it is flavourful but not as salty as other Spanish sausage like chorizo or chistorra. The cheese and ham sandwich was also very tasty. It is served with fresh cheese instead, which has a mild cheese flavour and its texture is a lot like tofu.
Cafe con leche here was not as strong as the ones in boldu, but the milky taste was not very apparent either. Anyway for the price I paid, I was totally satisfied.
