Excellent beautifull pastries and traditional rustic bread! If France's boulangeries in general…read morehave improved the quality of their products, this one in Corsica can really be ranked among the best. The bread is crunchy and fresh all day. The pastries are not too sweet and are so attractive. The morning pastries or vienoiseries are also great choices and the prices are right.

No frills, no fancy presentation, just plain and honest very good ice cream. They also have pastries, which we haven't tried yet, but they look very nice as well.

Hands-down my favorite pastry bar in Alghero. You can smell the delicious aroma wafting from down…read morethe street when you come near this bar. Definitely try their pesche (double cream filled donuts sandwiched together), diplomatici (crispy pastry layers with a cake layer mixed with cream) or their regular donut ciambelle which is fluffy and finger-lickingly scrumptious. It's all so good, it's bad for you because you'll want to eat them daily! The staff is generally nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you're in Alghero, this is a must breakfast location.

This is my all-time favorite pastry/bakery in Alghero and maybe even in all of Italy! They are a wholesale bakery and sell their products in the various points in the center of Alghero as well. Although this main location is a bit harder to reach without transportation, they have a much larger variety and the prices are unbeatable! We picked up 6 slices of pizza, two focaccia rolls and two pastries...all for €7.20! Not to mention the friendly staff.

During my visit to Corsica, I was surprised at how GOOD the pastries were there! I guess they are…read moretechnically in France, but the pastries were almost as good as the ones in Paris. The bread was a bit saltier and had a nice, chewy "bite" to it. At this Boulangerie I sampled a cream-filled croissant and it was super tasty. The cream was a bit "off" but I'm not sure if that's just a Corsican thing (other creams in the pastries from other bakeries in town also had the same strange taste, but now that I'm back in the U.S. I'm having nightmares about the cream puff scene in "Van Wilder"). This place is worth a stop if your sweet tooth is raging, but be warned: the employees here were NOT friendly at all. Not only aloof, but pretty rude. That seemed to be the norm in Corsica.
