I remember perfectly the day I discovered a place where I could buy “jamón serrano” in Missoula. I missed it so badly! So in case you have a similar feeling after many months living in Barcelona, here is a list of the American supermarkets in Barcelona where you will find products imported from the United States. We wrote an article a couple of months ago about websites where you could order these products online, but what about getting yourself to the supermarket specially on those homesick evenings?
Taste of America
Taste of America is the most popular American supermarket in Barcelona (and also in Spain). It is actually an American supermarket in Barcelona for Americans but also for Catalans who love these typical American products. They have more than 2.000 products and they also hold diverse workshops related to the American culture (cooking classes to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner, activities to celebrate 4th of July, etc.). And that is what probably makes this shop more than just an American market in Barcelona: Taste of America spreads the American culture in some other ways.
There are diverse “Taste of America” shops in Spain. But specifically in the area, you will find these American supermarkets in Barcelona at:
- Balmes street 322
- Aragó Street 231
Also they have a shop in Esplugues de Llobregat, Nord street 62.
You can also buy their American products online through their website.
Corte Inglés – Club del Gourmet
Did you know that Corte Inglés has also a supermarket on the -1 floor? And you can also find there the most popular American snacks. It is not a specific American supermarket in Barcelona, but you will find some of the most popular products there:
- Plaça de Catalunya 14
- Diagonal 617
- Diagonal 471
You can also check their website, specifically their international food section here. You will surely discover some other yummy food from other countries.
A Taste Of Home
A taste of home it is more like an English products shop, but you will also find typical products from the United States in their specific section. So if you love some of the most popular American snacks but also some English food, this will probably be your best option.
Here is the address of the shop they have in Barcelona:
- Roger de Llúria street, 53.
- And they have also another shop in Sitges: Sant Josep street, 32.
You can also order the products online through their website.
We hope this help you to feel closer to home, specially those homesick days. Sometimes a flavour can teleport you far away. This happens to me when I eat Reese’s! It was the official snack I always included in my backpack when I was off to hiking in Montana.
If instead of going to one of these American supermarkets in Barcelona you prefer to order American snacks online, you will also find online shops with home delivery.

Since Barcelona it is a cosmopolitan city with people from everywhere, you won’t have any problem when it comes to taste gastronomies from other cultures. The city has lots of international food shops but also restaurants which offer cuisines from all over the world. And that is also another reason to fall in love with this city, again and again.
