The heavenly pastries, jams, liquors and cakes mean Caelum lives up to its name. Tucked away on Calle de la Palla not far from Passeig Colon, Caelum's cakes, cookies and teas are divine. There are a handful of tables upstairs and a crypt downstairs as well as the shop.
The address is
Caelum
C/ Palla, 8, 08002 Barcelona, Spain
+34 933 02 69 93
Working under the philosophy that everything goes better with sugar and honey, most everything is made by nuns and monks. The mandarin liquor prepared by Benedictine monks had a bold citrus taste. Not quite as strong as an eau de vie but certainly as fruity. The quince jam prepared by Sevillian nuns goes perfectly with cheese. The marzipan was not sweet and truly tasted of almonds.
At four o’clock in the afternoon on a weekday there were groups of two or three women drinking tea, eating cakes and whiling away the afternoon hours.
As their website says, bye now with little kisses of sugar, cinnamon and ... licorice!
