ABOUT
La Colmena brings classic pastries from Spain to Australia for the first time.
Inspired by the ancient traditions of Spanish pastry-making, La Colmena is artisan pastry at its finest. A tribute to old family recipes with aromas that will transport you to Spain. Our commitment is to honour tradition and this has been the inspiration to create La Colmena, the first Spanish Pastelería (pastry shop in Spanish) in Australia.
Passionate about authentic Spanish flavours, we are proud to celebrate Spain's exquisite pastry heritage in Melbourne.

INSPIRED BY SPAIN
BAKED IN MELBOURNE
Spanish pastry-making is so rich that each region has its own characteristic flavors, creating a culinary diversity worthy of admiration.
La Colmena combines this gastronomic diversity by offering some of the finest pastries and desserts from the different corners of the Iberian Peninsula.
Our menu includes a variety that ranges from the world-famous Balearic's ensaïmadas to lesser-known and very local flavors such as Almería's glaseados.
Each classic is unique and conveys a very distinctive texture, aroma and flavour.

ANCIENT RECIPES
La Colmena believes in traditional methods and in the use of the finest, fresh and natural ingredients. In a fast-paced world, we believe it is essential to regain the natural rhythm of things. La Colmena's focus is our essence: handcrafted fresh products using artisanal processes without additives or preservatives.
We value tradition by following the family recipes of our ancestors. Handmade from start to finish is at the heart of what we do. Our commitment is to honour the ancestral slowness of pastry-making by respecting fermentations and resting periods during the process. This is how we perpetuate tradition.
Melbourne is world-renowned for the high quality of its food and our streets are lined with cafes and restaurants from around the world. Amongst this plethora of options, La Colmena offers something new and unprecedented in Melbourne's pastry market. The first Spanish Pastelería in Australia.
While many typical Spanish dishes are well-known in Australia, Spanish pastry is not. La Colmena is here to change that. To introduce authentically Spanish pastries and make them a familiar part of Australian culinary life!
