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.
