Best Pastries in Barcelona

"This spot is known throughout the city as being the best of the best when it comes to ice cream in Barcelona. They’re so popular in fact that there’s often a long queue down the street just to buy one of their ice creams. DelaCrem is located on Carrer d’Enric Granados, one of the prettiest streets in the city, lined with colourful architecture, palm trees and hip cafes."

"Italian Massimo Pignata uses only the best ingredients to craft rich, fluffy, traditional gelato. Warning: this is not a place with wild toppings and exotic flavors; this is a place for purists. DelaCrem, Carrer Enric Granados, 15-17 08007 Barcelona, Spain +34 930 04 10 93"

"If not, you’re severely missing out and it’s time to change this. Located in the heart of El Born right on Carrer de la Princesa, Demasié will make you feel like a real princess (or prince) reigning over the kingdom of deliciousness. What more, they even offer freshly baked vegan cinnamon rolls in the flavours cinnamon and vegan Nutella on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekends."

"Meter a Demasié (Carrer de la Princesa, 28) en esta lista tiene truco y es técnicamente hacer trampa, pero nos lo agradeceréis. Porque, aunque tienen también donuts, están especializados en los cinnamon rolls o rollos de canela, y los tienen de infinidad de sabores y, la verdad, se parecen más a un donut elaborado que al cinnamon roll clásico."

"Restaurants Dreta de l'Eixample. Are its origins in Sweden, Finland, the USA?. It all depends on who you ask, but we stopped caring when we tried one."

"Just 5 minutes walk from the Hotel Arc, in the heart of Las Ramblas, you will find the Escribà pastry shop, perhaps the most famous in Barcelona and a national reference. In its beautiful modernist restaurant (which is worth a visit by itself) you can enjoy many varieties of chocolate, as well as dreamlike cakes such as a Sacher cake with a dispenser of caramel drops, a cake of cheese and lemon in the shape of a small dome or a crunchy cake of white chocolate."

"Escribà is perhaps one of the examples of an innovative pastry concept in Barcelona. Its beautiful modernist space invites you to peruse its pastries and cakes – and seeing its product is a delight for the senses. Multiple creations are on offer, such as fairytale cakes, Sacher cakes with edible caramel drop dispensers, or curious cheese and lemon cakes in the shape of a small domes."

"Despite its touristy location, Escribà is nonetheless one of the best pastry shops in Barcelona. Housed in a beautiful art nouveau building on Las Ramblas, be sure to take note of lovely details like the mosaic façade and stained glass windows. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a freshly baked croissant and a cup of coffee first thing in the morning."

"Originally called Ca l’Abella (place of the bees), after its owner Rosendo Abella in 1849, La Colmena (the hive) is one of the oldest pâtisseries in Barcelona. Offering the sweeter side of baked delights, their selection of traditional Catalan pastries and cakes for Saints’ days are made following the same recipes that were used over a century ago. The pâtisserie has been in the Roig family since 1927, and today is run by the grandson of Josep and Francesc Roig Manubens, Josep Maria Roig, who is committed to keeping its history alive."

"Right next to metro stop Jaume I, La Colmena is lying in wait for its next victim, lured in by the stacks of meringues in the shop window. Like the store itself, the candy here looks homey and traditional. No bread, just teethdestroying goodness."

"This cute cookie shop now has an online store, where you can buy cookie boxes in different sizes and have them sent to you, or someone you love. You can personalize the order and add a note. Libreria Freetime, Barcelona"

"The concept here is cookies and cookie dough, and they create pretty amazing things. For a birthday party ask for the cookie pizza!. Read my review of Cookona here."

"En Cookona son tan creativos que la misma masa de galleta la utilizan para hacer tartas, brownies y otras delicias. Ubicación: Carrer del Rosselló, 160, 08036."

"When it comes to celebration cakes, from weddings to birthdays and everything in between, Lolita Bakery has it all down pat!. Their offerings of gorgeous, delicious cakes, cupcakes, and cookies show that the sky is the limit when it comes to beautiful cakes and yummy treats for your special occasions. Owners Marti and Carol first opened Lolita Bakery in 2010 in Barcelona the Barrio del Borne with aspirations to make American pastries and other baked goods; by 2013 they opened up their website in order to better serve their customers."

"Diving into the sweet joys of Barcelona, we could not forget to review and exalt CANDELA CANELA ROLLS. Oriol, the owner, is the one man behind the company, and does it to perfection. 2 years from now (February 2018) the store opened in a gracious street in Gracia, very near to the well known PLAZA DEL SOL. In this place, rolls from various flavors are produced by hand every day to be sold there, or to be delivered in many other restaurants, bars, and for special occasions as parties, reunions, and celebrations throughout Barcelona. As for coffee, a Bealtiful La Marzocco extracts the ONAWA ROASTERS coffee, roasted in Zaragoza, in one of few places that offers Onawa in Barcelona."

"In Gracia, this shop creates amazing things like cheesecake and Nutella rolls, and they are absolutely heavenly. Pair them with good specialty coffee. Read my review on Candela Canela here."

In the park, you can find famous sculptures, artwork, and architecture surrounded by paths through the garden. During the summer, it’s the perfect place to read a book, having lunch or just to hang out."

"Santa Maria del Pi is the 14th-century Catalan Gothic church that replaced a former 10th-century Romanesque church on the very same site—on the Plaça del Pi in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. It is marked by a single pine (a tribute to its name, pi) in the square outside. On weekends, that square fills up with artist tables, the colossal facade of the church towering behind them."

"If you’re walking through the Gothic Quarter and hear the sound of church bells ringing, that might be the Basílica of Santa Maria del Pi which is located in between the Plaça del Pi and Plaça Sant Josep Oriol. The church was built between 1319 and 1391 in the Catalan Gothic style. Its cross-vaulted ceiling is the highest in the country."

"Another great example of Gothic architecture with a wonderful rose window. The 15th-century massive bell tower can easily be seen from La Rambla and is one of its most streaking features. FREE OPENING TIMES: Monday to Sunday: 9.30 am to 10 am & 6 pm to 8.30 pm.Other times: €4"

"Parc de les AigüesBarcelona, SpainI always stop at this park on my way to Parc Güell or Guinardó. There’s a tennis court, a kiddie playground and a ton of different trees for the nature lover. This park is generally not too busy which makes it great for reading or meditating."

"This center of activity represents the efforts of Barcelona's urban planners to put all the city's designer eggs in one basket and to…"

"Address: Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes,, 37, 08018 Barcelona, Spain. Schedule: Open until 8:00 PM. Telephone: +34 932 56 68 00"

"Picasso Museum — While I’m not a huge fan of most of Picasso’s later work, with over 3,000 pieces of art, this museum has a lot to see, and even I was happy. The Gothic Cathedral — Located in the heart of the Barri Gotic, this Gothic cathedral was built on top of an 11th-century church. You can take an elevator up to the roof for sweeping views of the surrounding historic area."

"This two-hour tour, led by an expert local guide will take you through Pablo Picasso’s favorite spots. See Llotja Mar which is the art school where he studied. Stop at Els Quatre Gats café where he interacted with other artists."

"The Picasso Museum is housed in five adjoining 13th- to 15th-century palaces on Carrer Montcada, a street known for Barcelona's most…"

"Needless to say that if you’re after gourmet vegetarian grub, this expanding global chain is not the place for you. However for a cheap lunch, be it a quick falafel or a sturdy helping of salad it can be a life-saver, and keep the legs going for a second round of sightseeing. Find it on the lively Carrer de Ferran in El Gotic.C/Ferran 13www.maozusa.com/restaurants/locations/barcelona"

"This cheap little Middle-Eastern takeaway serves freshly cooked falafel served in toasted pitta breads and crammed with salad, tahini, chilli sauce, olives etc and is the perfect remedy for the hungry vegan after hours."

"Maoz is a great place for a cheap, Middle-Eastern veggie plate. Get a serving of falafel at the counter and serve yourself from the salad bar. It’s in the perfect location right off la Rambla, fresh and cheap!"

"While Barcelona has plenty of fabulous markets full of fresh and colourful produce to prepare at home, sometimes all you really need is something quick and cheap. And while we highly encourage you to take advantage of the wealth of fresh seafood, world-class cheeses and hams, we also understand that sometimes a plain burger with a side of fries hits the spot best. Whether you’re craving a slice of pizza, gooey mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets or a hot dog, Barcelona has a wide range of options when it comes to fast-food, and we’re not talking about McDonald’s or KFC… We have rounded up the 3 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Barcelona."

"‘Bola’ means ‘ball’ in Spanish, so it’s no surprise all food at A Tu Bola is shaped round. You can choose between ‘balls’ filled with beef, chicken, shrimp, or vegan options like chickpeas or sweet potato – all made with local products. The food is freshly made in the open kitchen of the (small) restaurant and served as a platter, pita or tapa with salad, hummus or cheese."

"This little hole in the wall place right off the Rambla de Raval is one of my favorite restaurants in the city – and it’s so cheap!. The name is a play on words, as it’s a phrase in Spanish that means to do things your own way, plus “bola” translates to “ball”. A Tu Bola serves meat, fish, and veggie balls both inside pita bread pockets or plated with side dishes."
