Pasticceria Gelateria Caffetteria HELENA In Veglie

In the heart of this small village, there's a pastry shop that will surprise you. The best gluten-free pasticciotto I've ever eaten! The pastry shop is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the workroom is open to the public. And many gluten-free products. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We purposely went to this pastry shop to try their pasticciotti, and I must say we weren't disappointed! They were delicious. The staff was incredibly kind, even though they were closing, and they served us. Highly recommended!

Probably the best pasticciotti if you find yourself near Torre Lapillo and Porto Cesareo, it's worth coming here I assure you.

Delicious pastries, a clean, elegant atmosphere, and traditional, always fresh products. It's a trusted spot for all of us, always serving excellent cakes and breakfast. Highly recommended.

Discovered the bar thanks to the B&B where we stayed. Highly recommended, never had Pasticciotti like theirs. Don't miss it if you're in the area!

This pastry shop has watched me grow up; I've been a regular there since I was no taller than the tables. They have sublime delicacies—not just the pasticciotti!—and the owners are courteous.

A beautiful and casual discovery: on the way back from Porto Cesareo we stopped in Veglie for breakfast. First we found another place, Roxy, which is only an ice cream shop and very kindly directed us to Helena to have our first meal of the day. What can I say, truly excellent quality, croissants as good as you would not find in much more populous and well-equipped towns and top quality biscuits, pastries and coffee. I lowered the rating for the service only because you have to bring things to the table yourself as well as clear the table and because seeing employees with their cell phones on duty is never nice: I understand in times of lack of public, but with a full place it is not the best. In any case it is a must visit if you happen to be in those parts, and I regret not having been able to try the ice cream shop too.

Delicious pasticciotto and fruttone ( all gluten free ) ! If you’re in the area, don’t miss this place and take home a little taste of Puglia 😊 Specatcular ✨

Very good and quality food. Practical service and simple but effective environment
