Reasons to go

Founded in 1929 in a modernista corner building on Rambla de Catalunya, it was one of the first pastry shops in the city to have a dedicated tasting salon for customers.
Its interior features a ceiling painting of Demeter, the goddess of abundance, by Aureli Tolosa, along with oak shelving with Solomonic columns, restored after a 1955 fire.
The shop occupies a storefront that began life in 1904 as a grocery, before being converted into a pastry shop two and a half decades later.

Full description

Mauri occupies a striking, old-world storefront on Rambla de Catalunya and has long been known for its elaborate cakes and pastries, the kind meant for lingering over coffee. Reviews are notably split, however: while the setting and food draw praise, a recurring complaint is service that visitors describe as rushed, disorganized, or outright rude, particularly during busy stretches.

At 3.9 stars over more than 2,700 reviews, it's worth visiting for the pastries and the grand setting, but it's best approached with modest expectations for the service.

Reviews

Beautiful old patisserie with its own flair. Don't expect a Starbucks. Just visit when you are open to such places. You won't find the smiling cat from Alice in Wonderland here.
