Mallorcan Ensaimada: A living tradition at Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo
The Secret of Three Centuries
The Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo ensaimada is not just a pastry; it is the result of a recipe passed down from master artisan to master artisan since 1700. Slowly crafted with the finest lard (saïm), sourdough, and the expertise of our skilled hands, each ensaimada is a unique work of art. It is the texture—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—that accompanies our hot chocolate, Sunday breakfast in Palma, and the undisputed memory of the island.
Faithful to the flavor that has defined us for over 300 years.

How we make our Mallorcan ensaimada
Our artisanal process
Behind every ensaimada lies a slow, careful process that we have respected for over 3 centuries: we begin by working the dough with great care, letting it rest for as long as necessary, and stretching it to achieve that characteristic fine, soft texture. Then, it is rolled with saïm (lard), shaped into a spiral, and left to rest again before entering the oven. Only in this way do we achieve an ensaimada that is light on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside, and holds the traditional flavor of always.

Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo Customer Reviews
What do those who have tasted them say?
A cozy and charming place, ideal for taking a break and enjoying a delicious ensaimada. The classic choice—and most recommended—is the plain ensaimada, and it is spectacular! The almond milk is also worth trying. 100% recommended. Important: wait to be seated, as indicated by the sign at the entrance.
A beautiful place with history. The best ensaimada I have eaten in Palma so far, out of all the times I have visited. Great service from the staff and very pleasant.
An incredible experience at this ice cream parlor and chocolate shop in Mallorca. I was visiting for work and was recommended to stop by and try their ensaimadas. It was a great choice: the service was excellent, and the ensaimadas and ice creams were delicious.
This place is a trip back in time (literally, it has existed since 1700), but the best part is that it remains a 10/10. Whenever I'm in Mallorca, I stop by for their ensaimadas—my goodness, they are delicious! The spot is super picturesque, old-world, and perfect for a quiet snack after walking all over the city center. If you are eating in, I suggest you try the warm ensaimada with a scoop of ice cream on top; it's a delight. This time, I ordered it takeaway because I was in a bit of a rush.
