Why we recommend it
Caelum's founders were inspired by visits to Spanish monasteries, where they found recipes and techniques preserved since the Middle Ages, and opened this shop and café in 1998. Its suppliers are monasteries and artisan producers who work to traditions at least a century old.
Browse the shelves of biscuits, pastries, sweets and preserves, then sit down for a coffee or hot chocolate with something sweet. It makes a peaceful pause close to the cathedral and Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, and is a good place to pick up an edible gift. Check opening hours on the website before you go.
