Some friends stumbled upon this gem of a bakery/coffee shop near our hotel yesterday (on Carrer Casp b/n Carrer del Bruc and Carrer de Girona). We had been looking for the perfect croissants (b/n Malaga, Granada, Madrid and Barcelona) and we found 'em. They're just the perfect balance b/n doughy, dense, flakey and buttery. I came back the next morning. The owner does the baking himself. In fact he is in the kitchen right now whipping up a new batch. His pastries are also on point. I especially loved the Caramelizados and the Chocolate Chip cookies w/ Sea Salt. The croissant sandwich with jamon iberico was incredible this morning. Best decision I made today. The owner and the staff was super hospitable and welcoming. He even gave us some parting gifts for my friends and I. If you're in Barcelona, come see the good folks at Bergamote. Honestly, I might have to come back before I leave the city tomorrow. ;) read more
