Bar del Pla
$$📍El Born
The pastry arm of the legendary Hofmann culinary school, housed in a charming El Born shopfront. The croissants — butter-laminated, deeply golden, perfectly flaky — are considered the finest in Barcelona. The seasonal tarts and the pain au chocolat are equally unmissable.

Generated from guest reviews of Hofmann Pastisseria
Universally acclaimed for the best croissants in Barcelona. The quality from the culinary school shows in every pastry — technically impeccable and deeply flavourful. Expect a short queue on weekend mornings. Worth every minute of the wait.
The croissant changed my life. Flaky, buttery, golden perfection. I went back the next day.
As good as any patisserie in Paris. The seasonal tarts are extraordinary.
Superb quality across everything. The pain au chocolat is outstanding. Go early — it sells out.
