The Escribà family carries forward a tradition (since 1906) of melting barcelonins’ hearts with remarkable pastries and chocolate creations. Seasonal treats include the Easter bunyols de xocolata (little round pastry balls filled with chocolate cream). There's another branch in a Modernista setting on La Rambla.
