Kapana Bakery — Restaurant in Plovdiv

I visited Kapana in May 2024, and it is a real treasure in the city of Plovdiv. The pastries were amazing - I had an almond croissant and my friend had a chocolate "biscuit" which I would describe as similar to scone - both of which were notably excellent. And there is an exceptional variety - along with full loaves of bread (we didn't get to try one of those).

The staff were incredibly accommodating, explaining to us what was in each pastry in English. We then had a nice sit inside the cafe and relaxed - a very pleasant atmosphere.

Really enjoyed Kapana and wished we had a place like this in...

Great baked goods and decent coffee (decent and not great because she said she couldn't make a latte, only a cappuccino but ended up making a latte, but I'm nit-picking here) and the decor is trying but a little tired. I would definitely visit again for the food but not the service and after reading some of the reviews I realize my experience is not at all unique, the staff do not like customers who aren't the same shade of melanin as their white bread. Cash only, no card, but they will make a baguette-size fuss if you don't have...

This bakery is beautiful on the inside. We tried the quiche and a brioche. Both were delicious. They also make a very nice cappuccino for 2lv versus the 3 or higher you'll find at the hipster coffee shops in this area.

Only knocked off a star because the service could've been a bit friendlier. The woman behind the counter was efficient but not welcoming at all. Maybe it was just the rainy weather.

I'd still recommend it though. Great pastries and the place was...
