Satisfy Your Raging Sweet Tooth At These 11 Amazing Spots Around Malta
When the sweet tooth hits, it hits us hard. Sadly we’re not always aware of Maltese spots where we can satisfy our itching tooth.
Here are some of the island’s top spots which will not only curb your cravings, but also transform a mediocre day into an amazing one.
1. C Camilleri & Sons
Valletta
A local favourite, this amazing shop offers a wide selection of everything dreams are made of.
Their pick and mix area is obviously our favourite, there’s nothing quite as beautiful as filling out a bag with your favourite treats. This family-run establishment serves up chocolates, cakes, biscuits, hampers and wine. Delish.
2. Manouche Craft Bakery
St. Julian’s
Manouche’s treats are literal perfection. This amazing patisserie will have you drooling as soon as you enter the shop, trust us.
They combine Parisian-influenced baking methods with local ingredients, creating a beautiful mixture of flavours, colours and aromas.
Whether you’re looking for a cheerful treat or an indulgent experience, Manouche should be one of your top choices.
3. Tad-Dougnuts
Qormi
No list is complete without the best doughnut shop on this island. This Qormi flavourfest will make your pants wet or hard (or both) as soon as you walk in.
Tad-Doughnuts should have a warning sign on its door because their doughnuts are extremely addictive. We just cannot ever get enough of their beautiful fluffy creations.
4. Sottozero
Buġibba
If you’re super into ice cream, look no further. Sottozero offers vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free and nut-free options, so you’ll surely find something to fit your needs here.
If you’re more of a slush or pancake person, you can still head over to this spot for a well-deserved treat. The trip to Buġibba is totally worth it.
5. Santa Lucia Café
Ħ’Attard
The veteran of Maltese sweet and coffee shops has been going strong since the 70s.
Their heavenly cakes and desserts are the perfect treat for anyone who is looking for genuine flavours and comforting stuff to fill your mouth with.
There’s no way in hell that you’ll be able to leave this shop without an extra box of pastries to eat at home.
6. Tad-Dulċier
Floriana
Is cake your thing? If yes, please head over to Floriana and hunt down this amazing shop. Cupcakes, cakes and macaroons are on the menu at this sweet, sweet spot.

7. Baked
Ħ’Attard
From online store to viral extravaganza, Baked offers bespoke treats for every occasion. Everything these guys produce looks like it was made by angels.
Their homemade beauties are a gift to humanity, so why not order some freshly baked cookies next time you’re planning a trip at your favourite human’s house?
8. Miss Ellen’s Travelling Treats
Ħamrun
This store started out as a retro sweet shop, however it quickly also became an actual travelling sweet van.
Miss Ellen’s Travelling sweets can be spotted in several locations throughout the island delighting everyone who stops by for a quick sugary snack.
9. Dolci Peccati
Sliema
Great coffee, delicious cannoli, flavourful ice creams and delightful pastries are this shop’s speciality.

10. Dylan’s House of Candy
Naxxar
This cute shop in Naxxar offers rare treats which aren’t normally found on the island, so if you’re looking for a particular treat, this is your spot.
Entering Dylan’s House of Candy will bring out the candy-crazy kid in you, be careful not to go insane trying to decide what to buy. Just do yourself a favour and ask for the toffees.
11. Frensh
St. Julian’s
This start-up boulangerie in St. Julian’s is one of the closest thing Malta has to a traditional French casse-croute.
Freshness and quality are these guys’ speciality, so if you’re looking for some soul replenishing buttery treats, head down to this amazing patisserie and indulge in their amazing treats.
You won’t be judged if you eat more than four eclairs in one go.
