Established in 1914, this pastry shop and café offers a delightful escape into a bygone era with its antique décor and charming ambience.
As you enter, you're greeted by the enticing aroma of freshly baked pastries and the sight of elegantly displayed sweets. The original part of La Duquesita retains its vintage charm, while a modern extension provides a cosy space to sit and savour the treats. The decor, a blend of old and new, includes high ceilings supported by ornate metal columns and beautiful mirrors that add a touch of sophistication.
La Duquesita is renowned for its exquisite pastries, particularly the palmiers, croissants, and an array of artisanal chocolates. The chocolate palmiers, flaky pastries with a caramelized touch and a rich chocolate coating, are a delight in every bite. The café also serves an excellent selection of teas and coffees, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed afternoon.
This historic patisserie is not just about the sweets; it’s about the experience. So, indulge in their delicious offerings, soak in the elegant atmosphere, and relish a piece of Madrid’s culinary heritage.
