La Cova Fumada
The unsigned bodega where the bomba was invented
In brief
Opposite the market in Barceloneta, with no sign on the door and marble tables inside. It isn't one of the places that serves the bomba — it's the place that invented it. Family-run, and still priced like a neighbourhood bar.

Good to know
- No reservations — a queue forms before opening, so aim to be inside by eleven.
- Closed Sunday, and Saturday only until early afternoon.
- Worth carrying cash.
