Escribà
This fantastic cake shop has been passed down through generations with a great love for pastry since 1906. Current owner Antoni Escribà is even internationally known as the “Mozart of chocolate”. There are two branches of this dessert and pastry store in Barcelona and both make fabulous cakes for celebrations and big events as well as some delicious sweet treats for a tasty breakfast or mid-afternoon snack. Due to their high quality ingredients and delicate touches, some of the desserts are on the pricier side, but this patisserie is a must-see on your Barcelona dessert tour. Our personal recommendation is the “Llavi” – enjoy the kiss!
