★★★★★2 months agoWhile looking for the best breakfast spot in Malaga, Gemini recommended 'Abadi'. It was a bit tricky to find at first since it’s hidden in a passage, but it was absolutely worth it! We ordered two coffees and a croissant. My sister loved the croissant so much that she ordered a second and then a third one! She even said it was the best she’s ever had, even comparing it to the ones in Paris. Unfortunately, I couldn't taste it because I have celiac disease. However, they do have gluten-free options. The staff (or the owner) was incredibly kind, sensitive, and warned me about cross-contamination. Highly recommended!

★★★★★a month agoEverything bought from the business was extraordinary. The pastries are absolutely stunning. We had some cookies, croissants and different other products: all delicious and fresh. This place doesn't get enough hype for what it delivers. Also friendly staff with good English, great coffee and fast serving. You also have some tables and chairs in the market to eat and chat, but I really recommend to take the food and coffee to go and eat them in Plaza del Merced on a bench.
