Croissants and Yeast Dough: The Aroma of Fresh Pastry
Croissants, whether you call them cruasan, cruasane, or cruasán, along with the yeast dough that brings this pastry to life, transcend mere food. They are a symbol of warmth, a little piece of home that you can feel with every bite. In our bakery, a cozy artisan corner in Barcelona that could easily be a Parisian boulangerie, we craft buns that emit an intoxicating aroma and croissants so soft they seem to melt in your mouth. This festive pastry, perfect for pairing with a steaming cup of tea or a freshly brewed coffee at the neighborhood café, becomes the ideal complement to any moment. Here, in this workshop near San Vicino Square, every dessert is made with love, using the most natural ingredients—stone-ground wheat flour, ancient kamut, rustic spelt, tender rice, nutritious multigrain, creamy butter, a touch of French beurre, fresh eggs with their golden yolks, pure milk, thick cream, a splash of water, virgin olive oil, and the sweetness of sugar or honey. Everything is mixed with care and attention to detail, like a gift for the soul. If you decide to buy, whether in-store or through direct online delivery to your home, we offer portions ranging from a mini 60g to a generous 750g, packaged in eco-friendly bags or tins, at a price that invites you to indulge. Come and discover the history behind these flavors, as ancient as the wind blowing from Europe.
Brioche Buns: Classics for Tea
Imagine a brioche bun, so fluffy it seems to float in the air, with an aroma that transports you to your grandmother’s or mother’s kitchen, a place where time stands still. These buns, which could be a simple donut or a juicy duwap, turn a tea-time snack into something magical, a moment that warms the soul. Their history dates back to the Middle Ages, when in France, Italy, or even Turkey and Argentina, they were kneaded with yeast in a rustic dough mixer, brought to life with wheat flour and a pinch of sugar. The name “brioche” whispers a Slavic echo, “sъdobiti,” meaning “to embellish,” and that’s exactly what they do: they embellish the day with their flavor.
When you spread them with butter or pair them with creamy yogurt, these classic buns envelop you in a sense of home. Their soft texture, with that touch of sweetness that never goes out of style, is a living tradition, a tribute to simplicity and perfection.
An orange bun awaits you with its buttercream, smooth apple puree, and a layer of powdered sugar that turns it into a true delight. Its juicy center, perfumed with orange and orange blossom, wins over even the most demanding gourmet, inspired by the Valencian breeze.
And then there’s the brioche, a French pastry that dances on your palate with its fluffy interior, adorned with almond flakes and a hint of dried fruits. Born in France in the 17th century, this refined pastry was a royal gift, and today we reinterpret it with a custard filling that tastes like heaven.
Cinnamon Rolls: A Sweet Pleasure
Cinnamon rolls, those spiral buns that twist like a snail, arrive with a cinnamon aroma that envelops the senses and an intense flavor that leaves no one indifferent. Their story began in an American state in the 1950s, where their sweet cinnamon and sugar filling made them famous. The name, a nod to “cinnamon” and “bun,” tells their essence with every bite.
Try one with apple, where the aromatic fruit blends into a soft filling, with a tangy touch that makes it a favorite for those seeking something natural and wholesome. Or let yourself be tempted by the cinnamon roll with almond buttercream, a creamy delight with a crunchy crust sprinkled with nuts. This original indulgence, a true gourmet treat, elevates the sophistication of almonds to another level.
Festive Pastry
Holidays—whether Christmas, Easter, Holy Week, or a colorful carnival—are the perfect time to share something unique with loved ones. In our pastry shop, every creation becomes the centerpiece of the table, a delight that cannot be missed.
The Easter kulich, traditional and sometimes dressed in puff pastry like a cruffin, carries the soul of yeast. With raisins and candied fruits that sparkle like crystallized jewels, this dessert blends ancient recipes with a modern touch, and its paschal aroma, perfumed with anise, is a song of renewal.
The panettone, an Italian Christmas cake that has crossed borders to Switzerland and beyond, embraces dried fruits and marzipan. Its soft dough, soaked in orange syrup, bears the Milanese seal since the 15th century, a favorite that lights up winter nights.
And the stollen, a German treasure, rises with its marzipan and a mix of dried fruits, dusted with powdered sugar that evokes a snowy landscape. It’s the heart of Christmas that warms any table.
Croissants: Our Pride
Croissants are the star of our bakery, an artisanal craft we shape by hand. With whole wheat flour and butter, we preserve their traditional flavor, an echo of Austrian Vienna that transformed into the crispy delight we know today in France.
The classics, without filling, with a light crust, are perfect for a leisurely breakfast.
But if you’re looking for something more, the New York croissants will surprise you with their size—large or small—and a double filling: raspberry jam and chocolate ganache, apple and condensed milk, or lemon cream and red currants. These New York croissants are an explosion of sweet flavors.
Their shape varies like a canvas: round like a snail, heart-shaped, square, or hexagonal, each one a small work of art. And the decorations—chocolate drizzles, crushed hazelnuts, almond flakes, or freeze-dried berries—make them irresistible.
The flat and crispy croissants, thin but intense, coated in cocoa or sugar syrup, are perfect for a quick sandwich with turkey or salmon.
And the savory croissants are no less impressive: with cheese and smoked ham for a hearty bite, serrano ham for a spicy touch, or herbs and feta for something light and healthy.
Traditional Pastry with History
We are passionate about returning to traditions, baking artisanal desserts that taste like childhood. The Babka buns, round and filled with raisins and grated coconut, soaked in honey syrup, are a nod to Eastern festive tables. The jam-filled donuts, soft and juicy, carry Jewish roots, ideal for tea at home. The poppy seed buns, filled with seeds and dusted with powdered sugar, pay homage to Slavic traditions. And the poppy seed roll, a puff pastry roll with honey, is the perfect companion to coffee.
Traditional Spanish Pastry
Spanish pastry, vibrant and full of tradition, shines in every bite. The roscón de Reyes, a royal circle filled with mascarpone cream and candied fruits, is the soul of Christmas and Three Kings’ Day, decorated with colors that delight the eye. The panettone, though Italian, has become ours with its anise and dried fruits, an international favorite.
