Our coffee shop and confectionery in High Street, Hamrun (bus no. 71), opposite the church of San Gejtanu, is the place to go for a cup of coffee and a snack. We offer a wide selection of hot and cold savouries, and sweets. After your coffee, visit our confectionery service counter for some take-home treats. We specialize in artisan products which are only sold in their respective seasons, as well as other traditional products which we have became renowned for, most notably our qassatella ice-cream, cannoli Siciliani, and pasti tal karamella, more famously known as tal-hgieg, or green cakes. Other favourites include our qassatella marmorata, qaghaq tal-ghasel, (honey rings), Sinizza, and Torta Pastina.

After the hectic Christmas period, we start off the year preparing for the prinjolata and Perlini (sugared almonds) which are synonymous with carnival. These are followed by the kwarezimal , qassatat tal helu and bwieqi taz-zebbug (marzipan olives in marzipan bowls) throughout the forty days of lent. On the feast of St Joseph, on the 19^th March, you can taste our traditional zeppoli, xkumvat and sfingia di San Giuseppe. As Easter approaches, our counter is transformed into a sea of colours from the beautifully wrapped Easter eggs of all sizes, which are made only from the finest Belgian chocolate. Whilst you are there make sure you get your hands on one of our differently shaped figolli.

Throughout the summer months, beat the heat with our thirst quenching granita made from fresh strawberries, and other flavours, as well as our ice-cream float.

For those with a sense of humour, in November, being the month of the dead, and in keeping with tradition, check out our ghadam tal-mejtin (ossa dei morti). For the feast of San Martin we prepare hand-made marzipan fruits and nuts, and hobz ta’ San Martin.

At Christmas time the confectionery is packed with almond cakes, fruit cakes, Christmas puddings, ricotta qassatella, soufflés, chocolates, panettone, biscuits and everything you might need to create a Christmas hamper with a difference.

As well as all this, throughout the year our outlet offers a range of mouth watering gateaux, fancy cakes, pastries, wines and spirits which will keep you coming back day after day!
