La Galletería — Restaurant in Ribadeo

We happened by this little shop on accident, and were lucky enough to make it in about a half hour before they closed for siesta. Unfortunately, they would not let us sit down to enjoy our pastries because they were too close to closing. . . But they at least let us order some treats to go!

As an ADHDer, the choosing part was very difficult— there are just so many different options! And with a bit of a rushed feeling (re: we were inside too close to their afternoon break), we had to pick fast!

We ended up getting: a bag of small lemon cookies a slice of red velvet cake An Oreo flavor cookie (which looked and tasted like a chocolate chip cookie ate three regular Oreos) cinnamon roll with glaze (When rushed, we pick all the things. . . Guess it’s a good business strategy? lol)

Everything was amazing, truly. The cream cheese frosting on the red velvet cake was so light and just the right amount of sweet— I could have eaten it on everything. Didn’t have a chance to try their coffee, because I didn’t want to walk and drink, but everything we ordered was a true delight. If you’re walking the Norte, I highly recommend making the slight detour off the way to come and marvel at...

What a pleasant surprise. There are so many treats on display, it’s almost impossible to decide. After a mouth watering tour around this small shop about five times we decided on the Almendrado Ribadeo and the Catone Almendre and Cappuccinos. The cappuccinos were excellent. I think they added some spice to it which made it delicious. Both treats were good but we thought the Catone Almendre was the winner. It had a nice flaky crust and wonderful taste, not too sweet. Definately recommend you stop here and enjoy the cappuccino and try some of their treats. You won’t...

Teníamos muchas ganas de tomar algo en este local. Tras tres intentos en días distintos, hoy hemos podido desayunar dentro. Todos los productos expuestos te embriagan y te hacen soñar con una experiencia sensorial. Pero tras hacer el pedido viene la realidad. Seis personas para atender la tienda y 20 minutos esperando a ser servidos en mesa y tienen que venir dos dependientas inseguras para traer dos cafés y un té. Los productos son correctos aunque en alguno un exceso de esencia y azúcar. Durante la consumición, vamos al baño y qué desastre! Recién abierto la jornada y deja bastante que desear. Y para terminar, dos de las tres personas habíamos terminado y se acerca una dependienta a preguntar si puede retirar la vajilla usada. Tras ella llega otra compañera y pasa una bayeta húmeda, tirando las migas al suelo. Esto ya nos ha terminado de rematar la experiencia. Ha sido un “fuera de aquí” en toda regla. Si quisiera haber ido a un fast food, hubiéramos elegido un Burguer. Al cartel de “Se necesita personal” le añadiría: “formado”. Hay muchos ciclos formativos que enseñan a profesionales para no denigrar así el...
