The Best Bakeries and Pastry Shops in Tarragona
Where to find great pastries in Tarragona, from award-winning Cal Jan at the Central Market to the croissants at Lanttonia.
🥐 Cal Jan
If you’re at the Central Market, be sure to stop by this small bakery from Torredembarra. Despite its modest size, Cal Jan is considered one of the best pastry shops in the region. In recent years it has won numerous awards, including best pastry shop in the province of Tarragona and best chocolate panettone in Spain.
🥐 Panet Rambla Nova II
A bakery chain you’ll find all over the city. A great spot for a quick breakfast or snack. If you want to try something Catalan-style, order a bocadillo — the traditional Spanish baguette sandwich. The most popular versions: with jamón; with Catalan fuet sausage; with tortilla de patatas; with tuna and tomato.
🥐 Lanttonia Cafe & Bakery
This bakery is a little way from the tourist centre, in a residential area, but it’s definitely worth the detour. Many locals reckon it has some of the best croissants and pain au chocolat in Tarragona.
Especially recommended: 🥐 the classic croissant; 🍫 pain au chocolat — one of the best in the city; 🍪 homemade biscuits; 🥪 fresh breakfast sandwiches.
A great place if you want to have breakfast away from the tourist streets and see where Tarragona locals themselves go for their pastries. The coffee is good too, which makes Lanttonia perfect for a relaxed breakfast or a late brunch.
