We have already talked about the pastry Escribà on several occasions. And it is that its pastries are exceptional. It is famous for its modernist facade, but especially for its sweets, chocolates and artistic chocolates. And also for its fritters, one of the best in the city.

Located at the top of the city, Foix is another of the epicenters of the sweet. In 1886 it opened its doors backed by a master pastry chef, Josep Foix Ribera. A project that has been going for more than 125 years and that continues to show us that everything they touch is sweet art: panettone, panellets, briochería…

It is another of the most emblematic pastry shops. Tasting their croissants or their catanies are real pleasures. They also prepare little gems like cherries with kirsch, nougatine or black chocolate truffles.

Another of the temples of sweets. Brunells, in addition to winning several awards for having the best croissant, is one of the most mythical places as far as bunyols are concerned. Nor can we stop talking about the place, which is one of the most emblematic of the Born. Its colors and design are the stars of Princesa street.

Located a few meters from the previous one, straddling the Born and Gothic neighborhoods, it is one of the most centenarian pastry shops in the city. Another classic to taste this typical sweet of these days.
