About
A beloved Gothic Quarter institution since 1849, La Colmena is the oldest pastry shop in Barcelona still in its original location. The speciality is the panellet — a traditional Catalan marzipan confection made with pine nuts — along with affordable, high-quality traditional pastries, nougat and biscuits.

AI Review Summary
Generated from guest reviews of La Colmena
A historic, affordable and genuinely excellent patisserie at the entrance to the Gothic Quarter. The panellets are the thing to buy, especially around All Saints' Day. The traditional Catalan pastries are excellent and priced for everyone.

The oldest bakery in Barcelona and still the best for traditional Catalan sweets. The panellets are exceptional.

A wonderful old shop with excellent pastries at very fair prices. The almond biscuits are addictive.

History in every bite. The nougat is some of the best I've had. A true Barcelona institution.
