Organic store with decent amount of vegan products - Edit
Fairly large organic store with decent amount of vegan products on offer. Like seitan, tempeh, plant based drinks, ...
Also fresh fruits and vegs.
Saw one vegan labelled wine among the wines.
Didn't see any vegan labelled items in the bakery counter.

Its not costy! - Edit
I disagree with the comments about the price. I think those are standard prices for Organic foods. In Nice and Cannes every price is almost the same. Even in Budapest, but the average wage is around €650!
If you are there, you must try the Horchata de Chufa(Tigernut milk)! Its a super sweet and awesome plant based milk, the very best I've ever had. And it costed €1,35 :) (probably a discount, but i would pay €20 for that too :D )
Pros: Price, Tigernut milk, Friendly english speaking staff, and vegan heaven
Cons: They sell meat and cheese and other stuffs too.

Viva Laietana - Edit
Great location just off Jaume I Metro in a really nice part of town just round the corner from Cat Bar, which is how we found it by chance. As has already been documented this place sells typical vegan and vegetarian produce as well as toiletries and cleaning products. The range of faux meats is superb perfect for making sandwiches back at the hotel with which is exactly what we do. Many locations on Barcelona, seek them out and visit.

Good variety of products - Edit
This is a non-veg store, but it offers a very good range of healthy and vegan food, they have probably everything you need for a normal week in Barcelona.

everything you need - Edit
They gave pretty much everything you need to survive.
Sweets, tofu, saitan, milks, etc.
Unfortunately the staff speaks almost no English at all.

Almond cheese :P - Edit
I've spent a lot of money during my only visit to Veritas. I think a lot of products are overpriced.
I liked the grated almond cheese (doesn't melt though) from Veritas on my sandwiches (buns from an ordinary supermarket, avocado, almond cheese, - that's it).
Go get it :)
They also have a good range of fake meats and not expensive rice milk (delish!).
Also try a starchy dessert in small bags (dilute with plant based milk), they offer a nice variety.

Health Food Store - Edit
Sells peanut butter, which thrilled my husband who eats it every day.
Large selection of toiletries, so great if you need vegan shampoo, toothpaste, want organic loo roll and so on.
Huge selection of seitan products, also tofu and some tasty vegan empanadas and nice vegan margerine.
Not cheap, but show me a organic supermarket that is.
Pros: well laid out
Cons: bit pricey
Organic supermarket - Edit
This supermarket is relatively small and I found that it did not have a wide variety of health food products. However, one can find alternative milks such as rice, oat, and soy. I did not see any almond milks. The fruit is very expensive, and you would be better off buying fruit and veggies at the many local markets around Barcelona.
Pros: location, alternative milks
Cons: small variety, cost

Veritas Laietana, near Jaume, Barcelona - Edit
I had a look in this place. They sell a lot of non vegetarian stuff.
There are loads of miles places that are miles better for veggies in Barca
Cons: Lots of non veggie stuff sold
No taste - Edit
The ravioli bolet was absolutely tasteless. And 1 Euro for a small piece of bread. I was so disappointed - this was a wasted eating opportunity in a city with so many nice places for veggie food.
Pros: very pleasant staff, light, airy room
Cons: comparatively expensive, can get better value
