They have a ton of baked goods but if you only have room for one thing, it has to be the Ensaimada. The ensaïmada is a special pastry specifically from Mallorca, so you're getting a local treat. It's made with usual ingredients but then a reduced pork lard instead of butter giving it a really unique flavor. Don't let that scare you though, I promise you will be so happy once you bite into one. Plus it's all cute and spirally Now if you can eat more than one item, go all out then! An adorable older couple runs the shop and goods are baked daily. If you want specific items, it may be worth pre-ordering on their site to ensure they don't run out. If you take a ship in like I did, it's a 20 min drive from port. However, it's surrounded by a lot of great restaurants & sites to see. Staff is so nice but keep in mind they close at 8pm each night. We went near closing and had no line, but I have heard lines build during the morning.

Fornet de la Soca is a traditional Mallorcan bakery that's vegan-friendly (lard-free) with knowledgeable staff. Dad's not vegan but I am so this place is perfect. There are both savory and sweet options that include flatbreads/pizzas and apple pies. The absolute best was the traditional panades with pea and leek filling. By far, one of my favorite bites from this entire trip. Fornet de la Soca is a must to appreciate what Mallorca has to offer. And it's just a few blocks east of Passeig del Born. Go!

Absolutely loved trying the ensaimadas from the island it was birthed from (Mallorca), and hands down my favorite one that I tried from both Barcelona and Mallorca were from Forn des Teatre. Funny, I actually didn't find this biz on yelp due to the low # of reviews; I was just attracted to the bakery due to its lovely HUGE ensaimada rolls on display! As it was morning, the outdoor cafe wasn't open but folks were just coming in to grab and go. By all means if you come here, please you MUST try the **ensaimada de crema** (might also be called "ensaimadeta")! It was different from others I've tried, it's not just a spiral of creme but it was all pooled into the center. I think I loved it so much because it was rich and had a thick, creamy texture with a nice orangey-zest taste to it. Absolutely loved it, I haven't tasted anything like it before!

Our cruise ship shuttle had dropped us not to far away from the downtown area and we walked through the area before most of the stores opened in the morning.

They had lots of the local sweet breads in boxes to take with you. We enjoyed the smoked salmon on fresh bread plus a few sweet danish. Now that we enjoyed breakfast, on to the fish market for our next course(s). We enjoyed a lovely day in port and would return to enjoy more time as a local.

We had hoped to find the best ensaimadas here, as the shops are apparently quite famous. The baked goods were good, don't get me wrong, but there are better options in town. Especially the plain ensaimada was a bit disappointing. On the other hand, the fully-loaded version with caramel cream and baked coconut was delicious, though that topping would have also been great on just about anything else. Some of our coffees were great, some tasted a bit odd. The employees were very nice and explained the different offerings. Have an ensaimada here to have a good baseline, then try other shops.

Since both of us were vegetarian, we opted for two vegetarian pastries they had to offer with a coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. The island has oranges in abundance, so every nook of the street holds little shop that serves freshly squeezed orange juice. The taste is so much better than the bottled juice we get in USA. The bakery was super busy, and all the seating in the front was taken. However, there was a glass door at the back that leads to a quite tranquil area, decorated with trees, art and personal touches from the owner on each table. The space was relaxing where you can enjoy the meal and the company away from the hustle bustle of the crowd.

The Banoffee and Cremino actually complimented one another well. Both were creamy, rich, and unbelievably decadent. It's an absolute must try when you're in Mallorca!
