Forn Mistral | Sant Antoni

Okay pastries, but expectations were higher Went to Mistral mainly to try their ensaimadas, but I wasn’t quite impressed. They were just okay, nothing particularly memorable. I also tried the croissant, and I wasn’t very happy with it either. I think part of it is expectation — having tried croissants in France, I was hoping for something closer to that standard. Unfortunately, this didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Overall, it’s fine to try if you’re nearby, but it didn’t really stand out.

Until you’ve had an ensaïmada con crema from here, you haven’t lived. It’s light and flaky yet doughy, sweet but not over sweet. Perfection! The staff are friendly too.

One of the best bakeries in Barcelona, the pastries are all so good and freshly baked. The only downside is how popular the café is, too many peope and queue, so I would reccommend to buy the pastries in the bakery instead of staying at its café.

All the food looked good. The server was so rude though. I asked if she spoke English. Then asked what something was. She rolled her eyes at me and was rushing me to make a decision, but nothing was in English. No need to rush me and be rude when there were no other customers in the shop. Definitely need to work on friendly customer service. I will never go there again.

The ensaimada was good indeed, tasted some other savory bites and they were decent

One of the best bakery I have tried so far, this is an extremely popular location where locals and tourists alike come to enjoy the freshly baked pastries. You get the ticket at the entrance and wait to be served. I sadly won't have time to try each and everyone of their pastries and I wish I could, they are all super tasty

The greatest ensaymada crema cuita! Ordered 6-7 pastries and two coffees for around €12. Amazing authentic local pastries for cheap. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Had the best ensaymada here. Even though the place is very popular, the prices are still pretty reasonable

Although it was busy when we arrived, we were helped right away. The employees were friendly, but the hand written pricing was a little bit difficult to see within the display case. The ensaimada was wonderful. The pumpkin inside was light and not too sweet. The outer pastry was so soft with a generous amount of powdered sugar. I couldn't stop eating this.

The bread looks absolutely amazing. Sandwiches are extremely tasty. Their specialities of Coca de forner, Ensaimades de crema, and Ensaimades petites are not to be missed!

Perfect bakery just down the street from the Plaza Catalunya. Bread and croissants were amazing and they seem to have invented croissant minis. WTH?

Best chocolate croissant I've had outside France. Nice airy-but-crunchy crust, plentiful and moist chocolate filling. Mmm. Ate these daily during our stay. Yes I need to go workout now. Also stopped in here daily for lunch stuff including sandwich rolls, olive bread, cheese rolls. Always friendly service -- tolerant of us tourists but answering generally in simple Spanish.

After a long afternoon biking in Barcelonetta, this place is just perfect to relax with a good coffee. It's calm and cosy

Really enjoyed the cream croissants and chocolate croissants. They are a very special treat. Plus the girls behind the counter are very nice and will speak English to you if you need it. Names are marked but prices are not. Still, it is a very approachable place for tourists.

Best. Chocolate. Croissants. Ever. ( even better than those in France!) Super fresh and delicious. My favorite bakery in all of Barcelona!!
