We literally stopped her every morning we were I. Barcelona. The pastries are Amazing! Especially the white chocolate croissant. Though the cinnamon rolls were pretty delicious as well. The service was wonderful and quick even when it is busy. The staff grabbed up pastries, heated sandwiches and made specialty coffees quickly and with a smile. There is also a very cute sitting area with a lush green plant wall that has a ton of natural light great for selfies and relaxing read more

This place is incredible--from their coffee and pastries to their breads and sandwiches. Luckily, it was just two blocks from my hotel, so I enjoyed breakfast there every morning. The staff is fantastic--friendly, accommodating, and always smiling. With several locations across Barcelona, I highly recommend checking out this spot if you're visiting the city. read more

We were visiting from Paris and chose to go here three mornings in a row, even though it was on a block with four bakeries. The cinnamon rolls are delicious (though would be better heated up and eaten with a fork), the little chocolate filled donuts (Belinas xocolate?) were a hit with the kids, and the madalene muffins and French pastries were all enjoyed. The cappuccino was very milky, but it had such a good flavor that we thought it was a tasty addition to breakfast. Note: some Yelp photos and reviews show indoor dining as a option at this location, but what we saw was a narrow store with just counter service. Unless we missed a secret part, this is a to-go location. read more

3.5 stars They definitely have some good looking pastries and a view of the oven and kitchen from the outside which is what draws people in. I got a chocolate croissant which was really light and flaky and was filled with a decent amount of chocolate. Also got a cheese cake square. It had chocolate cake bottom and was subtly sweet. It reminded me more of a Japanese cheese cake than a heavy NY style cheese cake. Just depends what you're looking for. Workers were friendly and spoke English which made it easy for me. read more

This bakery is open and ready to serve patrons early, making it a convenient place to grab breakfast before a long day. We were there around 8am and there were plenty of sweet and savory choices available already. We got the mortadella sandwich, a snecken panses (a less sweet version of a danish?) and a cappuccino. Each item was good, but my personal favorite was the mortadella sandwich as I prefer savory over sweet items in the morning. A great way to have a quick efficient breakfast. Service is fast and friendly. Note that there were are no seats, but there are plenty of benches in the pedestrian area of the main road. Go have your food there so you can watch the city gradually wake up and start their day. read more

Café in Eixample with excellent pastries and coffee. Around 3-4 tables outside and 2 tables inside. There was a line when we went around 10:30 on a Sunday but it moves quickly. The staff were friendly. Hazelnut croissant (5/5 stars): A good choice for Nutella lovers! Flaky croissant with chocolate drizzled over one side and hazelnuts on the other. There is a bit of chocolate hazelnut filling but not too much to be overwhelming. Apple tart (4.5/5 stars): Strong apple flavor and the pastry was delicious, though thinner than expected. Chocolate croissant (5/5 stars): Warm and gooey on the inside. Crispy, flaky, and gorgeous on the outside. The coffee was excellent and there was freshly pressed orange juice as well. read more

When I find multiple receipts from this place I know it was good. We had the pastries and the coffee and the sandwiches and it was all wonderful! This was a gem. Not only that, the people working are wonderful, cheerful, helpful. The place has a nice vibe to it so it's easy to spend a lot of time just enjoying the food and the company and the conversation. Highly recommended. read more

This beautiful warm pastry shop and bread bakery was next door to our hotel. It didn't take long to find this wonderful treasure! The people were incredibly kind and patient with me as I used my combination of English and high school Spanish. We had a beautiful selection of pastry and coffee in the morning. That night, with all of the amazing restaurants in this area, we decided to go back and get an assortment of sandwiches and more pastry. Everyone is so remarkably gracious and helpful. We had one breakfast on their back patio and it was magical. Everything is immaculate. I know if I lived in this beautiful elegant neighborhood, I would be here every morning. Since it's within two blocks of two of Gaudis famous artistic buildings, this cafe is the perfect starting point of a wonderful and enlightening adventure. I loved the crispy chocolate croissants. Addictive. My son requested the ensaimada on multiple occasions. We also repeatedly had the perfect glistening apple tart and small puffy custard rolls with our morning coffee. I'm having a crisis waking up without going downstairs for warm sweet rolls and coffee. read more

I typically don't leave reviews but I have to review this place for all the solo travelers. This place is very unfriendly to solo travelers. They told me there is no table for me so I have to do takeout when I placed the order. Being understanding, I agreed to it. Only to find out there are still a few tables available during my checkout. I asked the cashier again whether I can find a table and they said no. I believe they just don't want to give tables to single person. This is such an unpleasant experience. I stay at the hotel (the one) next door. I will never return to this bakery place for the way how they treat solo travelers who want to sit down and enjoy the place. read more

Great selection of pastries. Lovely setting. Very friendly staff. The tiramisu was delicious.

RUDE LADY BEHIND THE COUNTER, VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!!! The lady behind the counter was very rude and loud. Initially when we tried to find a seat, the lady said ( in a very loud voice) we need to order first. When we went to order, she said there's no seat and asked us to order to-go. After we paid for the order there's still seats but she said we're not allowed to dine in because we ordered for to-go???!!My little kid's scared by the lady's bad attitude!!! From the previous reviews it seems like some others had similar bad experiences. In my opinion she is not qualified to serve guests at all! Will never come to this place again!!! read more

Hands up! It's super delicious! I'm picky person and when I ordered sandwich, salad and dessert, I loved absolutely ALL! Fresh, delicious, inexpensive. Tuna salad has lots of fresh tuna, sun-dried tomato and olives. Sandwich with cheese, arugula and sun-dried tomatoes had unexpectedly delicious savory taste and the rustic bread was full of olives which made it perfect accomplishment. And dessert... OMG their cheesecake is one of the best ones I ever had. It's creamy, light and... gluten-free (nice bonus!). Instead of crust I found the cherry. I will definitely come back. Just keep in mind they don't have tables, it's only to-go! read more

Walking by and felt like we found a gem. The interior design made me feel I was at a high quality, peaceful place. The bread looked very fresh and high quality/fluffy as well. We got good coffee and sat outside where it was set up with a lot of beautiful plants coming out of the wall. read more

Absolutely delicious... every single early morning/late morning/early afternoon/late afternoon. We stayed at Hotel Praktik while we were in Barcelona for a long weekend. Why is this relevant? Oh, you know, just because Baluard is on the main floor of the hotel and every single morning you wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread and you always have incredible sandwiches on tasty baguettes and café americanos at your fingertips. But that's really all. CONVENIENT. AS. HECK. DELICIOUS. AS. HECK. Over the course of 3 days, we ordered their soup, pizza, sandwiches on baguettes, coffee, fresh juices, croissants, munchkin donut thingy's... you name it, I think we might have sampled just about all of it. Everything was delicious... just what you'd want in a bakery. The staff is cool, there are some tables for two, some communal seating & a bit of outdoor seating in their courtyard. Whether you're staying at Praktik or not, make it a point to grab something, (or many thingsfrom the bakery. read more

Great place for fresh baked good and really good coffee. Just walked in one afternoon and had great service and high quality baked goods!

Great pastries and coffee. This is located on the first floor of the hotel. Nice setting. This really hit the spot.

Probably the best bakery I ever been to. Just by the shopping district in Barcelona We had the white chocolate croissant and this croissant was even better then Paris (sorry France) We also have he ham and cheese baguette sandwich. The ham they use is unbelievable and one of the best sandwiches I ever had read more

Wow. Pastries are sooo good, and coffee was perfectly fine. Connected to a hotel, and seating appears to be limited to hotel guests at certain times, but we were there early and had no issues. Lots and lots of amazing pastries in Barcelona, and this place has to be at or near the top. Service was welcoming and efficient for us as non-Catalunyan, English-speakers. read more

This is a legit bakery. I got 2 ham sandwiches and a almond croissant for our picnic at parc guell. I believe all 3 items was less than 10euros. I would have easily paid more for lesser quality elsewhere. The bread was crusty and made the sandwich very satisfying. read more

Items Selected: Americano Ham and Brie Croissant Almond Croissant White Chocolate Marzipan Croissant Blueberry Coffee Cake Apricot Tart Pinenut Cream Brioche Personally not the sort to stay at swanky hotels, but happy to benefit from the on-site dining options available to those who prioritize such things, it was for an early breakfast in Barcelona that a stop was made at Forn Baluard where an impressive Pastry display and pleasant seating awaits those with reservations at Hotel Praktik Bakery while those just visiting are invited to enjoy their food on either the patio or standing inside depending on availability. Conceptualized by Anna Bellsolà, her childhood raised in bakeries by bakers clearly giving her an education in and passion for great Bread and classic techniques that have since birthed both her original store and the one now incorporated into the boutique hotel, guests arriving at Hotel Praktik by either the street or elevator will quickly be struck by the sheer volume of daily options, nearly three-dozen styles of Bread offered in the Restaurant's repertoire along with nearly as many sweet and savory smaller items available daily. Featuring counter-style ordering and quick lines, the whole process of ordering, paying and collecting goods easily completed in less than ten minutes even with a line that trickled out the door, it was with the space fairly busy on a Wednesday that two guests were offered seats on the patio where a rough-speaking smoker had unfortunately already taken up residence, the smell of cigarettes unfortunately compromising things a bit though first bites of the oven-warmed Ham and Brie Croissant still spoke of good things to come with the outside flaky and interior structure well maintained even though the buttery Viennoiserie had been sliced. Not known as a city for great Bread, the few historic bakeries of Barcelona mostly focusing on Desserts and Cakes with the artisan baking movement really only beginning to catch on in the last decade, it was with the Ham and Cheese saved for those more fond of savory breakfasts that attention next focused on two filled Croissants, the Almond unfortunately a bit too moist with filling that was neither Frangipane nor overly sweet but still too thick while the White Chocolate Marzipan option fared far better with airy pockets inside and plenty of creamy half-melted Chocolate Chips. Mostly impressed by the quality considering the volume, a wedge of Blueberry Coffee Cake slightly drier than those found Stateside but still pleasant with a lot of natural Fruit flavor, those looking for Forn Baluard's standout items should take a look at those filled with Custard, the glazed Apricots atop a lightly browned Crust still nice and sour with soft flesh while the Pinenut Brioche was soft and eggy even on the ends, not to mention the middle which was saturated and topped with Toasted Pinenuts and the contrasting texture of Pearl Sugar. read more

Bread is made on site! That shows you how much they take their craft seriously. The bread is truly amazing. There's a window in the eating area to watch them make the goods. Had a croissant that was beautifully buttery. The decor is gorgeous. You know they didn't skimp on anything here. A high end bakery with high end results. So how do I convince the owners to open one in the states?? Recommendation: All baked goods are delicious! read more

Best croissants we had in Barcelona. Espresso was average. Counter staff was efficient and friendly. Vibe was busy.

When came here on our way to La Sagrada Família and loved it! They had way too many pastries to choice from and could make a Ham and cheese croissant. Cafe was on point. It is part of the hotel and they have block times for hotel guest to use the seating area towards the back. We didn't get a chance to sit and watch people, the seating area for outside guest is in front of the Bakery! read more

Great bakery in the Gracia area. Came here Saturday morning for breakfast and tried a lot of pastries. All great. Ambience is hip and cool. Place is full of locals. For service, go straight to the counter that says "caza pastelaria" jumping the bread line (that can be looong in the morning). Order the coffee, sandwiches and pastries, pay, and get a seat at the salon. All pastries were based on an incredible puff pastry dough. Flaky and buttery. Works great on savory and sweet. The croissants were tasty, with thousands layers. Great technique. The place is also a hotel/hostal. read more

Excellent service, great pastry. The staff was so helpful and very nice. The espresso was really good with my cheesecake so yummy!!!!!

So good, I came back every day while I was in Barcelona which is out of the ordinary for me because I try to check out a new place daily. The almond and chocolate croissant were the best I've ever had. It's below a hotel so there are a lot of tourist that come here but that doesn't speak to the quality or price of the food. The staff was friendly and totally didn't judge me for not speaking Spanish. Things to try: Chocolate croissant Almond croissant Ham and cheese in a croissant toasted Cortado read more

Some of the best bread we tried in Barcelona . If you walk in and see little bread selection and lots of seating that's because you are in their caffe. The group we were traveling with sat down and bit into what they described as "wonderful" and "really tasty". I ventured on to find artisanal crafted logs of gluten. To attain wheaty nirvana exit the cafe and turn right to the end of the block then take you first right at the corner. If you cross a street you made a mistake ! It's almost smack dab in the middle of the block. Choose what ever bread catches you eye you really can't go wrong! read more

I search for a good bakery far and wide whenever i travel and Baluard kept popping up on my radar. I had a ham and cheese croissant with a delicious, hot cappuccino at Baluard. A breakfast combo favorite of mine. Super buttery pastry and a well made coffee drink. The ham and arugula baguette was nice though the intense crunch and thickness of the bread may tire some jaws! It's a beautiful space with lots of seating. My only challenge - it was such a confusing set up! I was sent back and forth to different counters. If you come too early, seating is only available to hotel guests so you can take your goods to go. Otherwise, you go to the second counter (past the sandwiches, empty counter) and order there to dine in. read more
