A modernista bakery

The Sarret bakery still has many original period details, such as the revolving stone oven, where its craft bread is still baked today, and the wooden drawers the dough ferments in. The entrance and shop windows still preserve their wood and the original Modernista glass, but there have been some changes. For example, the leaded glass sign has gone, replaced by a printed one. There is a large, ceramic medallion in the middle, between the two entrance doors, with the image of a woman gathering wheat. You can still see a painting with the bakery’s name inside in Modernista letters. The bakery is on the ground floor of an 1866 building by Felip Ubach who, among other things, also designed the old Ricart factory in Raval.

A 100-year-old bakery

The Sarret bakery has never stopped making and selling bread in over a century, although it has changed hands a few times. The current owners restored the name of the family who opened it, Sarret, as a tribute to the craft bakers of that time. These days they sell a wide range of bread, cakes and pastries.
