Forn Can Tomeu, with more than ninety years of history and three
generations behind it, is one of the few bakeries that currently works
with a Moorish oven on the island.
The history of the business
begins when the grandfather of the current owner, who previously worked
in Can Guixe, decided to open his own bakery in 1930. His son, Tomeu,
helped him by delivering bread around the village on a bicycle and, once
the business had started, they replaced it with a second-hand car. The
name comes from Tomeu, since when he inherited the bakery it did not
have an official name.
Toni took over the family business when his father, Tomeu Cifre, retired, although they had been working together for years.
When
Toni took over the bakery, he decided to expand the premises and the
offer. He bought the adjoining house and set up a cafeteria. Despite the
renovation, he kept the same Moorish oven that has been in operation
for more than ninety years. Nowadays, he still uses this distinctive
element to bake all his dishes.
Although they do not have a
specific speciality, their bread is what customers like the most. They
also make handmade oil biscuits and some cakes.
