Sàbat,
since 1951
A pastry shop, two addresses and a bakery workshop. Sàbat’s story follows the streets of Sant Cugat and the hands at work behind the counter.
Jaume Sàbat and Joana Grané opened on Santiago Rusiñol in November 1951, during panellet season. He brought his experience as a pastry chef; she welcomed the customers.
Two addresses in Sant Cugat
The first shop was at number 36 on Santiago Rusiñol. A shop on Plaça d’Octavià followed, before the move to the two addresses associated with Sàbat today.

Inside the bakery workshop
The bakery workshop has its own place in this story. When the space beside the shop became too small, production moved to larger premises. The move changed how work was organised between the workshop and the shops.
Up close, the photographs reveal another scale: a piping bag above a cake, hands placing pastries and trays on the workbench. Details of the work behind the display counter.

Rosetons
Rosetons connect the pastry shop with Sant Cugat. Jaume Sàbat wanted to create a biscuit associated with the town and discussed its name with the priest Antoni Griera. A product with a story of its own.
