What Hofmann Patisserie is known for
Hofmann's pastry business opened in 2008, following Mey Hofmann's earlier Barcelona cooking school. The El Born shop is at Carrer dels Flassaders 44 and sells cakes and individual pastries, with chocolates and baked goods also in its catalogue. It is distinct from both the school and the separate Turó Park pastry location.
Hofmann's pastry shop opened in 2008 as another part of Mey Hofmann's Barcelona food business. It followed the cooking school she had founded in 1983, but the two should not be treated as the same establishment. The El Born pastry shop is at Carrer dels Flassaders 44, separate from the school's earlier Argenteria address.
The shop's catalogue includes cakes and individual pastries. Chocolates and baked goods offer smaller purchases. Its connection to the school provides a background in pastry training, while the retail counter serves people choosing something to eat or take home. A course enquiry belongs to a different part of the business.
A second pastry location at Turó Park is listed on the current website. Choose the branch first, then check its current selection and opening arrangements. The El Born shop is a useful destination for a pastry-focused stop in the neighbourhood, without requiring a restaurant booking. The size and collection arrangements for a celebration cake need a more specific enquiry than a casual purchase at the counter.
