So good! Baluard was right next to our hotel BARCELONA ONE. The staff wears funny, welcoming and helpful. They have soup and salads some days. I wish they had soup everyday . Delicious pizzas, hot chocolate, coffee and they bake all day. The reality is that finding something quick to eat in Spain is hard to do. Baluard solves the dilemma. Easily go in and grab yogurt with fruit, nuts and honey or fantastic pastries. They had a delicious Zucchini soup that I would have eaten everyday. Beautifully designed as well but I forgot to take photos. I was too busy drooling over the pastries and laughing with the staff. read more

The best fig tart I've ever had in my life! This bakery is amazing. They have sandwiches, yummy fresh baguettes daily, as well as many other breads, pastries, etc. Came here two mornings while in town. We had lodging in the neighborhood. read more

Baluard - Fig tart--perfect in every way. Not too sweet. Just heaven in your mouth - Bakeries Near Me - Barcelona, B

I just walked out of the bakery. The smell of fresh bread and pastry is amazing and and I'm sure they taste pretty good too, but I will never go back again! The women behind the counter look miserable and their behavior just as. No eye contact to the point of not being sure she's addressing you. No smile. No thank you. Just slam the food down and move on. I totally understand being busy, but that's no excuse for poor manners and plain old rudeness. There are thousands of other spots in Barcelona and I wished I'd chosen one. Even if the sandwich I ordered is amazing, and the latte is pretty good, I will never return. read more

Super tasty food. I tried the almond croissant, brioche with pine nuts and a sandwich. The almond croissant and brioche were the best bakery food I've had in a long long time. read more

Baluard - Bakeries Near Me - Barcelona, B

Legit bakery, fair price, got croissant, yogurt, fruit, almond cr., n a ham/cheese baguette. All berry, berry gud. 15,75€.

This is the most deliciously exquisite bakery I've ever experienced, and quite frankly might be the best bakery in the entire world. I like to consider myself as a well-traveled culinary enthusiast (take it or leave it) and this was nothing short of a life-changing experience. You MUST get the almond croissant, it's a religious experience that just might bring tears to your eyes. read more

Delicious French-style bakery in Barcelona. // SERVICE // Quick. Point at the items you want, pay at the register, collect your items and seat yourself. // AMBIANCE// love the open layout with a foliage wall // FOOD // + Apple tart: thin delicate slices of apple on a flaky pastry. + Pan au chocolat: buttery, flaky, and light. Almost as good as in France, but not quite as delicate. + Coffee read more

Amazing bakery in Barcelona! We got one of the ham/cheese pastries and a chocolate croissant which were both amazing. The dough is very buttery and flakey and the filling was amazing!! We also got two coffees - a cold one and a hot one and both were delicious. The atmosphere is also great too! It's very bright and roomy and you can choose to sit outside and enjoy the treats in the sun. read more

Like how is everything so good here? I was in Barcelona for 5 days and I came here every single morning. Their coffee and pastries are very affordable and very tasty. They have different things every morning so there is lots of things to try! I like their cheese&ham croissants and coffee read more

Looking thru Yelp and saw review and came to this place and order ham croissant, Chocalat croissant, a prosciutto/ham with arugula sandwich with cappuccino and they all taste good and fresh with good value for the money in this tourist area. If you are tired of walking and looking for a place to sit down and enjoy some pastries and coffee. Would definitely recommend you to come here read more

God this place is good! The bread, pastries, coffee all amazing. The only bad thing here is that you can see into the kitchen where every bake looks more delicious than the last and you can find yourself sneaking back to the counter to buy 'just one more' item! Amazing!!! read more

I must have gone here almost everyday while I was in Barcelona. Great sandwiches and salads. The pastries were to die for.

Best breakfast I had in Barcelona. I only wish I'd discovered this place early on my trip so I could've come here everyday. This is downstairs from a hotel bakery and apparently you can only sit in if you're a guest of the hotel before 930 am. And then after 930 they only do sit in and don't let you take out. Which is confusing. But they do have another bakery by the same people around the corner that lets you take out. Anyhow, I've loved everytning I tried here. The cappucinos were great and so were the pastries. I had the ensaimada, apricot tart, the brioche looking thing with cream on top, and a few others I can't remember. It seems like this place is popular with tourists and locals alike. The staff is very nice as well and it's reasonably priced. read more

We were looking for a place to have a light breakfast that was near our hotel and this place fits the bill. They have a wide selection of great pastries. I had the chocolate bread and the parfait. Service was friendly and the place looks nice and clean. Great place to start your day before heading to your destination. read more

Wow the baguettes here are done to perfection, soft and crunchy. We were walking back to our apartment when someone stopped us to comment how this is the best bread in Barcelona. Ham and cheese croissants were delicious and the apricot tart was not too sweet. read more

Baluard - Apricot tart - Bakeries Near Me - Barcelona, B

Fantastic bakery with great coffee. I had the chocolate croissant which was perfectly flaky and buttery. Yum! Open on sundays too.

I loved the ham sandwiches and the peach desserts. I want to go back and try the berry one.

Stumbled into them while walking and looking for a place to have a small lunch. Got sandwich and salad and my wife got cheesecake for dessert. They are a bakery and obviously the bread was very fresh but it went beyond that as all other ingredients especially in salad were also very fresh and tasty. I had a bite if cheesecake, and even though I'm not a cheesecake person, it was very fluffy and delicious. And the prices were very reasonable too. read more

Amazing breads and pastries, my favourite is the "Pa de Fruits Secs" loaf. Sold by the kilo but well worth it. Loved it so much I brought an entire loaf back home with me to share with family and friends. Friendly staff well worth the visit if you are spending a day at the beach. read more

Baluard - Fig pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Barcelona, B

The bakery (there is also one in the Barcelonetta neighborhood) is located within the Praktik Hotel. Baluard has a good selection of bread, pastries, sandwiches, and coffee. I wish I could come here everyday. It's a long narrow bakery but the back opens up into the hotel check in and seating (indoor and outdoor) area for the bakery. There is also a glassed in kitchen where you can see them making the bread. The ordering system is a bit confusing but its basically cafeteria style - order, pay, wait and then grad your food and a find a seat in the back. I like to go in, find a spot to sit, then head back to order. The service isn't the greatest especially if you don't know a lot of Spanish like me. There isn't really a queue....just follow the locals...go up to anywhere on the counter and flag a server, point to what you want, and then pay. The servers will assemble everything onto a tray. I tried a couple of the jamon sandwiches (delicious), croissants, and the cappuccino or iced coffee (cafe frio) which they give you a hot espresso and a cup of ice. If you want milk, you need to specify with milk (con leche). I did forget once but they added it for me afterwards. The sandwiches are sooooo good. There is something about the bread in Barcelona...super thin crust that is extra crispy with a nice soft bouncy interior. I wish I had one now. Sorry I forgot to take photos for this post :( read more

The pastries here are hands down the best I've ever had. You must have a croissant when you visit. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and simultaneously lively and bustling. read more

The bread here - OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. Prior to experiencing Baluard in Barcelona, i spent 5 days consuming Baguette all over Paris...I can honesty say that this Bakery had one of the best loaves of bread that i have ever been so luck to enjoy. A massive, beautiful and round load of tomato bread was shared among me and my three friends fairly quickly. Perfectly crunchy, full of flavor, fresh tomatoes and still warm - i would pay $20 for that loaf right meow. The line is out the door although it moves very fast. If that doenst seem to be true upon your visit.......WAIT ANYWAY read more

Please excuse me while I stuff my face with another almond croissant. I woke up this morning craving another one of these treats, so my mom got one for me. It was my third in 3 days! The pastry and almond filling are too hard to resist. Everything else looks amazing here, but my almond croissant is my pick and weakness. read more

A group of 6 friends and I came here for my friend's birthday brunch, the pastries were amazing!! We also got the yogurt fruit cups and some bread for lunch. Very reasonably priced and so delicious. Everything was so fresh and the people were so kind. Our Spanish was mediocre but they were so respectful and nice. The best bakeries I've been to in Barca!! read more

Great place for breakfast of a quick lunch. Excellent service and quality and price. The mortadella Parmesan on a baguette with pumpkin and sesame seeds is delicious. read more

The best bakery in Barcelona! Everything from bread to pastry is fresh & tastes like heaven! The staff is friendly & welcoming! Baluard beats many french bakeries in France. Must visit!!! read more

I got a half loaf of a bread with dried fruit (€4.60) and nuts (hazelnuts and almonds!)- it was super delicious!! Other things looked good, but that is all I tried. Servers spoke English as well. read more

This is, simply put, one of the best bakeries in Barcelona. There's really nothing that I've had here that isn't incredible. Their baguettes are close to perfection itself, with a thick crust and a delicious, soft texture inside. Try out their bocadillos with an orange juice -- it's a great light breakfast. read more

Will never step foot in this place again! The women behind the counter were snippy and condescending. They acted as if I was bothering them when I asked them what type of sandwiches they had. I really don't see what the big hype is all about. Their coffee and pastries are decent. Nothing special. There are tons of great little places in Barcelona that serve much better coffee and pastries. NEXT! read more

Wonderful pastries. Just keep in mind that the seating area is only for hotel guests until 10 a.m.

breads and especially tarts were fantastic. we went back two days in a row for their tarts. would have went back through day we left if not for the fact they were closed! read more
