Mascarpone-Filled Croissant
Hofmann PastisseriaEl Born·$$
€3.50
Our global icon: the multi-award-winning 'best croissant in Spain'.
Tip: An absolute mandatory order. The mascarpone center is so smooth and not too sweet. They sell out very fast, often by 11:00am, so go early!
#2Score 98/100
Mango and Passionfruit Exotic Croissant
Hofmann PastisseriaEl Born·$$
€3.80
A bright, tropical version of our signature filled croissant.
Tip: A great alternative if you find the mascarpone one too rich. The acidity of the passionfruit cuts through the butter perfectly.
#3Score 98/100
Hofmann Almond Croissant
Forn BaluardBarceloneta·$
€3.80
A luxury partnership croissant filled with deep nut cream and topped with almonds.
Tip: The filling is incredibly generous. It's very sweet, so one is perfect with a black coffee. They sell out fast, so go before 10:00am if you want one.
#4Score 95/100
Solid Bubbles of Butter with Salt and Truffle
DisfrutarEixample·$$$$
An airy snack that looks like bubbles but is pure, concentrated butter flavor.
Tip: It's more of a texture experience than a full dish. Use the tweezers provided and eat it quickly before it melts! It's absolutely weightless.
