So good!

Small place. They make everything by themselves. Yummy!

A variety of vegan treats

There was lots to choose from here, from the cakes in jars, to cookies, cupcakes, creative peanut butter-filled croissants, and cream tarts. The taste of the cream is unique and very light (not sure what they use to make it). Everything is of a high quality and the price tag definitely reflects that.

No great cake

We tried the carrot cake and a muffin. The muffin was ok, the carrot cake was only tasting sweet. It had no flavors at all, the frosting was also too sweet and lacking dimension with lemon juice or such. Really disappointing considering they are specialized in cakes. Also a real pity that you can’t sit down here to enjoy a coffee with the cake.

Pros: Nice presentation of desserts and cakes

Cons: No option to sit down , Overly sweet and tasteless baked goods

Visita esencial pero muy caro

Siempre que voy a Barcelona me paso por La Besneta para comprar postres. Se puede decir que no tienen competencia en la ciudad. Es todo un acierto, no deja a nadie indiferente. Sí es cierto que es muy caro para los sueldos que se manejan en España y que el trato no suele ser muy cercano.

Pros: Porciones de todos los tamaños, Abren los domingos, Vas sobre seguro porque todo es vegano

Cons: Caro, Trato poco cercano

Too much baking powder and sugar

I had high hopes but was quite disappointed by the strong chemical metallic taste of the red velvet and carrot cakes from too much baking powder. The vegan marscapone was nice but the cakes themselves were bland with that overwhelming chemical taste. The tiramisu was sickly sweet and not enough coffee flavour. If you like carrot cake I recommend the one at la suegra del jardinero. It's more flavourful and more moist (I do not work there, lol!)

Best vegan bakery in BCN

You can’t beat that. Nothing similar in Barcelona. So many great options and you can also order some pies or cakes to be made and picked up later.

Good variety but a little too premade

Good variety but a little too premade. I think the croissants were sitting out in the fridge for too long. I like the dessert pots

Encantador

Es un lugar muy acogedor y amplio con un buen obrador. El personal es muy amable y te atiende muy bien.
Lo malo es que he pedido dos cachos de Red Velvet muy bonito pero que parecía mas a bizcocho y me ha parecido bastante caro 10€ los dos cachos.

Pros: Muy bonito, Genial atención

Cons: Caro

Wow.

Honestly, simply spectacular. A very broad range of pastries: from cakes in a pot to muffins, cookies and croissants. And not your usual baked goods, but very original flavours: bonbon peanut cakes, carrot cake muffins, tiramisu filled croissants... and everything is vegan and homemade! I felt like a kid, it was so hard to chose! Plus, the owner was very very friendly.
I tried the tiramisu croissant and it was very special, very well cooked. I also got a tiramisu and it tasted so much like the non-vegan one that I could hardly believe it. It is really sweet, though. I enjoyed it very much. It is not a cheap bakery but the quality is so worth the price.
They also let you return the empty containers to recycle them, which I find excellent.
I will definetely come back to taste more baked goods.

Delicious 100% vegan bakery with gluten-free options

Such a cute bakery, everything looked so good. I love that everything is vegan. I asked about gluten-free options and she showed me all of them. When I went there was a cupcake, two cookies, and truffles. I got the carrot cupcake and it was perfect. The only thing I would add to the bakery is some seating and offer coffee.

Pros: All vegan, Gluten-free options, Friendly service

Cons: No seating

The best vegan bakery ever!

Wow, heaven on earth! Every single pastry is mind-blowing, every time I come back to Barcelona is my place to go! Amazing location, lovely staff and everything is made with so much love and care. Tiramisù croissant is one of the most delicious piece of art I ever tasted in my life.

The best pastries ever

This cute little place offers no sittings, but will give you some spoon to eat on the go.
The cookies and lemon pie are great. The tiramisu in a jar is the best I've ever had (even in Italia I hadn't such a great one).
Be careful for their opening times that tend to change, and when I got there they didn't take credit or debit card.

Pros: Tiramisu

Cons: Only cash, Opening hours

Too sweet

I went a while ago because I was really excited to find vegan tiramisú. However I found it overly sweet and not enough coffee taste.

Pros: cute presentation

Cons: flavor

Underwhelming

I was happy to read other good reviews and made a trip here. It’s carry out only so if you are walking, hard to get a cake or cupcake or such, so I got an alfajore which is traditionally South American with dulce de leche. It looked so picture perfect but the taste, well, not so great. I took it a picture of it, then started walking and took a bite. It was so incredibly dry that more than half of it crumbled away onto the sidewalk. The couple of bites that I did mange to eat were so dry it hurt to chew and swallow. The only good taste was the creamy dulce de leche filling. Maybe the cakes or cupcakes or cheesecakes or other cookies are good and worthy and I just chose the ring thing? But my experience was sadly underwhelming.

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Prices a bit high

Great cake and cookies

It was closed for our first day in Barcelona (probably due to the strike) but we returned the next day and got a huge piece of red velvet cake. It was tasty and the service was friendly. We went back again and tried a cookie which I loved. I would have liked some more time to try out all of the options.
