Sara (my sunshine), Katie (my little wildcat), Stephie (my Slavic queen), and Miguel (our big boss) are honestly my favorite people to spend time with down here. They’ve become my Spanish family—always full of warmth, humor, and kindness. Manolo has the best customer experience in Barcelona, hands down. Forget the stereotype about Catalonia and customer service—these guys blow it out of the water.

A pleasant find- Manolo Bakes was the only coffee shop open at Glòries when we went for breakfast on January 6th, and it turned out to be a pleasant find. Their eye-catching display of mini croissants in various flavors immediately drew us in. We tried the ham & cheese, original, and pistachio croissants, and they were all delicious—definitely the highlight of our visit. I originally ordered an oat chai, but they had run out, so the staff kindly offered a matcha latte instead. My husband had a coffee latte. While the hot drinks were average, the mini croissants truly made our morning. A great way to kickstart the day!

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Barcelona at C.C. Westfield Glories, Manolo Bakes - Barcelona offers more than just a café experience. This spot is a warm invitation into Catalonia’s rich culinary culture, where every detail, from the aroma of freshly baked goods to the welcoming smiles of the staff, speaks of genuine passion and care.

Manolo Bakes has won the hearts of locals and visitors alike with its standout mini croissants, each crafted to deliver a perfect balance of textures—crispy on the outside, tender and warm within. The range of flavors, including ham & cheese, original buttery classics, and the unique pistachio, makes every bite an exploration of taste and tradition. These pastries aren’t just food; they are a comforting start to the day, a small celebration of craft and flavor.

The beverage menu, highlighted by the much-praised pistachio latte topped with crushed nuts, adds a sophisticated touch to the café experience. Alongside it, the caramel latte and silky hot chocolate bring an indulgent warmth, ideal for pairing with the bakery’s fresh offerings.

The staff—Sara, Katie, Stephie, and Miguel—create a familial atmosphere that turns each visit into a memorable encounter.
