While we were in Barcelona rushing to make an appointment I noticed this shop out of the corner of…read moremy eye.. it looked so good that we decided to come back just to try some of their treats and boy they did not disappoint. We tried one of their chocolate desserts, a chocolate chip cookie and a matcha drink. All of them were great.. so great that I ended up buying a pistachio brookie to go. To this day we regret not buying more stuff to bring back home. The service was great and quick. The place was clean and cute to dine in with a few tables! Overall I'd definitely stop by if I'm in Barcelona again!

Had to try a gluten free bakery while in Barcelona of course (one of many). Chok is for chocolate…read morebut they didn't sell any actual chocolates... but there was a rotation of special flavored cinnamon rolls, rookies, brownies, mini cakes, cookies, and cheesecakes. There were a few loaves of bread but mostly there were those sweets and it seems they have those all the time. We got a regular cinnamon roll because the flavored ones didn't have as much of the frosting on it which is the best part, and a pistachio cream rookie... no im not sure what a rookie is but it looked like a Levain cookie (the famous one from NY) as it was a mountain of a dessert. We had both treats heated up... although they weren't actually hot lol. The cinnamon roll was on par with others I've had, maybe even slightly drier but the frosting was amazing and I still enjoyed it a lot. The rookie was quite decadent and the inside was an almost cake texture? Still quite tasty but I think both would've knocked it out of the park if they were actually hot and ooey gooey. Five stars because it wasn't bad but I can't say I'm super impressed. I will be going to other gf bakeries over this one

Cada vitrina parecía una galería de arte comestible; cuesta decidir qué elegir porque todo se ve fenomenal. Lo que probé superó completamente mis expectativas: sabores perfectamente equilibrados, textura impecable y una presentación que demuestra verdadera pasión por la pastelería. Además, el trato fue cercano y profesional, lo que hizo que la visita fuera aún más especial. Felix, la persona que sirvió la mesa fue excelente. Hasta en cierto momento el mismísimo Pastry chef salió con dulces para todos los clientes. Sin duda, uno de esos lugares que no solo se visitan, sino que se recuerdan. Volvería sin pensarlo.

Environment Located in a small street, it is like a IYKYK location.. i am not sure i'd really be able to stumble on this and this prompt myself to get one. There is no seats inside this location and everything was take out. Niceness of the staff The staff was nice enough to explain the types they have as I still think about what I want to get. Dollar I think it was quite expensive for a croissant.. almost I am not up to par to eat this as I don't know how to appreciate it. Yes I am still not sure where I stand on this.

I doubt they make their money off repeat business.

I wish I took a picture before devouring the four pastries I bought. Each item had its own unique and distinctive flavor. No hint or trace of artificial flavors or sugar syrup. I tasted honey and essence of lemon in the almond semolina crescent (fabulous!). The pistachio baklava was generously filled with only fresh ground nuts, tasted of honey and rose water yet still crispy and delish. Much of the floral notes come from the honey they use which must be top shelf. I purchased a small round walnut semolina cake that was all ground nuts and something delightful that I never tried before. The flavor was nutty and not overly sweet. It's a perfect complement for good Arabic coffee. Finally I bought a pistachio baklava semolina twist that delivered great flavor and looked gourmet. All the pastries lasted three days in perfect condition and I nibbled on them daily. The prices were very good too. I wish Bakery Ayub many years of success as I intend to return next time I visit Barcelona. So great!!! Go there if you love fresh innovative sweets.

It usually take two weeks to have a pre-order of cake made and my best friend arranged everything via the internet, in a shorter time and they even delivered to the restaurant for the surprise. The cake not only looks pretty, but the lemon raspberry cake was also deliciously tasty. Thank you Lolita bakery for accommodating our order and such short timing and with such good service and tasty cake.

Though one complaint, one major complaint I have with this place, is how overly sweet it all is. But with a cup of coffee it evens out. Xocolata Taraonja (AKA- Orange chocolate mousse cake) - very flavorful without the chocolate overpowering it all. It's a good balance between the two strong flavors. The mousse layers as well, compliments the (chocolate) sàble base. La Cirera- (AKA- The Apple shaped cherry mousse cake) is incredibly adorable. The outside, though shaped and looks of a red apple, the inside is anything but. Cherry mousse with a thin but incredibly rich Nutella layer all resting atop a sandy shortbread base. It's mostly just beautiful.. the taste, though.. soothing, it's overwhelmingly sweet. Somethings are meant to be photographed and not enjoyed. Cherry flavors seem lost if one didn't know what flavor it was as they bite into it. Tartin - flavorful, sweet with a buttery crumbly base. At first bite everything's wonderful but at second, third chew, it starts to get too sweet. But still good. It's not as pretty as the rest but flavor wise, it works the best. Their pastry sections are more of their strong suit when it comes to taste. Croissants are flaky and buttery, not to mention a great deal for one. €1.10 for a plain croissant. It's also beautifully made. Overall, don't do what I did when I came here and try to eat all three super super sweet mousse tartlets in one sitting, instead maybe take them home or hotel and enjoy with some sugar-free coffee. This patisserie has their presentation down. But it's for the sweet tooth not for the faint-tongued. Service are generally well. All the employees there seem to speak English so if you're not from Spain or can't speak the language, no worries. Last tip: try to come early as it tends to get busy during pastry craving hours. Rumor has it (source: google) this patisserie is owned by an award winning chief.
