The Best Bakeries In Palma De Mallorca Spain

The Mallorquins love their baked goods, particularly pastries, and are fiercely proud of traditional delicacies such as the famous ensaïmada, a traditional Mallorcan pastry. As a result, when strolling around Mallorca’s capital Palma, you’re rarely far from one of its numerous bakeries. We’ve come up with a list of the best, from traditional pastries and artisan breads hot out of the oven, to decorative cakes and novelty croissant-muffin hybrids.

1. Bits of Glory

Bits of Glory sell just a handful of different pastries, with their specialty being the cruffin – essentially a muffin-shaped croissant. While the range is limited, their display is tantalising, with each of the towering pastries a miniature work of art. The cruffins filled with custard cream and topped with homemade honeycomb are one of our favourites, as are the chocolate ones with a pretzel topping. They also bake some glorious cakes to order, and if savoury items are more your thing, very tasty foccacias.

2. Panaderia Fiol

An unassuming shopfront and a dimly lit interior mean that it is easy to walk past Panaderia Fiol and assume it’s closed or not worth a look, but don’t be fooled. Once inside, the light may remain disconcertingly off, but on the counter you’ll find trays of croissants that are among the best we’ve tasted. Buttery, soft, and delicious, the homemade pastries are so tasty they can’t be good for you, but it’s hard to resist popping in.

3. Rosevelvet Bakery

Coffee Shop, Spanish, Coffee

The Rosevelvet Bakery is a small cafe with a pretty courtyard and a mouthwatering array of baked goods. A fantastic place to stop for coffee (as well as breakfast or lunch) the cakes in here are irresistible. Freshly baked every day, there is an ever-changing selection, with the lemon tart and the New York cheesecake being particularly good. The coffee is excellent, too.

5. Fornet de la Soca

Bakery, Pastry Shop, Spanish

A trip to the artisan bakery of Fornet de la Soca is a must on any trip to Palma. A traditional bakery with a strong focus on authenticity, this is the place to go if you want to taste classic mallorquin baking. Using high-quality, local, and often organic produce, this bakery brings back to life long-forgotten recipes from around the Balearic Islands. They offer a huge range of delicious sweet and savoury pastries, from the classic ensaïmada, to the pizza-like coca de trampóand panades(small meat pies) and cocarroi(vegetable pasties).

6. D'Horno

Bakery, Pastry Shop, Spanish, Pastries

If you’re looking for a tasty and interesting loaf of freshly baked bread, D’Horno is the place to go. A small bakery right at the heart of the old town, this place sells some seriously delicious loaves, with everything from classic baguettes and seeded bloomers, to breads stuffed with peppers and goats cheese, fruit and nuts, and even a curry loaf. There are also a handful of pastries, sandwiches and quiches behind the counter, but really it’s all about bread, bread, bread.
