Bakeries & cafés in Valencia

Bakeries account for 32 of the 39 Valencia places; twelve addresses are in Ciutat Vella, the old city, and nine in the Eixample, the district that takes in Ruzafa. Not everything here is a Spanish horno. Pastelería El Libanés has two old-town shops, on Carrer dels Serrans and Carrer d'Osca, selling baklava and other Lebanese sweets alongside falafel, with halal and vegetarian food. Dempanadas in El Carmen bakes South American empanadas, many of them vegan, serving lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday and lunch only on Sundays, while MiKuTartas in Algirós is a weekday cake and tart shop whose reviews talk about carrot cake, chocolate cake and butternut squash. For something savoury, El Tostadero on Avinguda de l'Oest opens at 6:30 AM, Monday to Saturday, and is known for its battered cuttlefish sandwich with aioli. Early starts are common across the city: nine places open at 7 AM or earlier on weekdays, and 16 of the 38 with listed hours close on Sundays.
