To find good confectionery shops in Spain is something that must not be taken for granted. However, there are bakery shops, one thing for the other… Most of the time, it’s just stale bread, or else croissants (also stale) covered with some shiny stuff on top. Yum. Regarding sweet delicacies à la française, better not to think about them…. If you live in Barcelona, you’ll surely miss a good baguette, and even more a good butter croissant on Sunday mornings. Today we share with you shops and bakeries where you may find baguettes and bakery products almost as good as in France!
You don’t believe it? Well, yes, yes, yes!
The 365
As its own name states, the 365 is open 365 days a years, yay! And on top of that, they open early! Perfect for early birds (or for people with children: goodbye long sleep-ins…) There you will find a little bit of everything with great value. Donuts, muffins, shortcakes, various types of baguettes, sandwiches, apple pies…
Our very favorite: The “bomba de chocolata” with a Nutella filling!
A little plus: They make a discount depending on the number of pastries you buy: 5 “fartons” for 1 Euro!
Where to find 365
Granier
Granier is more or less like 365 in what it comes to prices and pastries, there’s however a greater choice, but that depends on the shops! Where to find Granier
Orange bakery in the Raval
The best croissants in town! This shop may not seem much special, but…. What a joy it is to discover this bakery! The croissants are truly excellent, and at a very reasonable price! Unbeatable prices for a guaranteed success. There’s great bread too!
Paul
This one needs no introduction. Every good French person knows about it. Well, go figure! It’s available in Barcelona too. You’ll find all the addresses here.
Or else, those known by everybody: Starbucks, La Mie Caline,
To avoid
The bakeries that you will find a little everywhere around the city: the show windows will look
quite appealing… But keep walking or you’ll risk regretting it later!
And you, do you want to recommend us any bakeries?!
