Caretaker's lodge

This is one of two buildings on either side of the front gate. Hard to see from this distance, but there is a poisonous mushroom at the top decorated with upside down coffee cups. Gaudí is said to have made his decision here to give up coffee as "poison for [his] body."

Super shot of Gaudi's gingerbread house, Helen. *V*
But it's hard to beat a really good cup of coffee!
