At Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo, we know that not every gathering needs to be complicated to turn out well. Sometimes, one carefully chosen item is enough to give a small get-together, a birthday celebration or a company breakfast that touch of tradition people remember. So, if you are planning something simple with a taste of Palma, this guide will help you understand what is currently available on our menu and the ordering option confirmed on our website: large ensaimadas made to order with two days’ notice.
What you can order today at ca’n Joan de S’Aigo
Our online menu includes ensaimadas, quartos, gató, croissants, palmeras, cremadillos, robiols, crespells, duquesas, empanadas, cocarrois and savoury cocas, such as vegetable, trampó or pepper coca. The item specifically indicated as available to order in advance is the large ensaimada, which must be requested at least two days beforehand. So, if you are looking for something to share, the ensaimada is the clearest option when planning an event.
How to choose depending on the type of gathering
If you are organising a small birthday celebration or a family afternoon snack, a large made-to-order ensaimada works particularly well as the centrepiece of the table, as it preserves the spirit of sharing and fits perfectly with the character of the house. If you are planning a company breakfast or a small gift for colleagues or collaborators, another option genuinely offered by Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo is the Menú Dolç: a gift card that allows you to choose between an ensaimada or a quarto, accompanied by hot chocolate or ice cream. It is sold in our shops and costs €5.20.
Lead times and collection: the key to avoiding last-minute rushes
The main recommendation is simple: if you want a large ensaimada made to order, request it two days in advance. Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo currently has three establishments in Palma —Can Sanç, Baró de Santa Maria del Sepulcre and Sindicat— so you can arrange collection at whichever location is most convenient for you. Our contact page also invites visitors to come and discover our traditional handmade recipes.
Which option best suits each occasion
For a small and elegant gathering, the large ensaimada is the most natural choice: it is easy to share and carries one of the most recognisable hallmarks of the house. For an individual gift or something to give to several people, the Menú Dolç can be a practical option, as it lets each person choose between two classics of the house without making the order complicated. And if you are simply looking for something to enjoy on the spot, our cafés offer pastries and drinks to complete your snack while staying true to tradition.
Practical tips before placing your order
It is worth thinking about three things first: how many people there will be, when you will need it and where you will collect it. If you are ordering a large ensaimada, allow those two days of notice. If you prefer a more flexible option, the Menú Dolç is an easy gift to purchase in store. And if your event requires something more specific, the best option is to ask directly at your chosen location, as the menu and availability may vary.
A simple guide to getting it right
There is no need to overcomplicate things: at Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo, the clearest option for small events is a large made-to-order ensaimada or, if you are looking for a practical gift, the Menú Dolç. Both preserve the essence of the house and work well for birthdays, gatherings and moments meant to be shared. One thing is worth keeping in mind: it is best not to leave everything until the last minute; here, tradition also benefits from a little advance planning.
Visit us at any of our three locations in Palma —Can Sanç (C/ Can Sanç, 10), Baró de Santa Maria del Sepulcre (Plaça de Santa Maria del Sepulcre, 5) or Carrer del Sindicat, 74— and our team will help you choose the best option depending on the type of celebration and the time available for ordering.
