Bakeries & Pastry in Valencia

Horno and forn, the Spanish and Valencian words for an oven, appear in the names of ten of the 32 Valencia bakeries, and their reviews circle around local staples: empanadillas, coca, ensaimadas, the sweet bread called tonya and pastissets de moniato, sweet-potato pasties. Horno y Pastelería Alfonso Martínez on Carrer d'Ercilla opens at 7 AM from Monday to Saturday, and Montaner on Carrer de Roteros, near the Torres de Serranos, opens on Sunday mornings as well; both close for a break in the afternoon. Sourdough and international baking cluster in the Eixample: The Baker on Carrer del Mestre Josep Serrano bakes bagels, challah and pita and closes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, Le Roi on Carrer de Sueca works with sourdough, khorasan wheat and rye, Granny Bakery on Gran Via del Marqués del Túria sells babka and cookies, and Stockholm bakery on Carrer de Ciscar offers buns and chai. Pastelería La Merced, inside the Benicalap market, makes cakes to order and opens only from 10 AM to 2 PM.
