Maia

Maia Brutăria Artizanală is a hidden gem in Cluj, especially if you’re a fan of artisan bread. Their focaccia is absolutely outstanding—crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, with the perfect balance of flavors. It's easily one of the best I’ve had. Beyond that, their sourdough and pastries also live up to the high standards of a true artisan bakery. The shop itself is cozy and unpretentious, with a clear focus on quality over flash. The staff is friendly and always happy to help you find the perfect bread or pastry for your taste. If you’re in Cluj and love fresh, handmade bread, Maia Brutăria Artizanală is a must-visit, and their focaccia should definitely be at the top of your list!

Very nice and cozy bakery with lots of freshly baked goods. The employee was very friendly and answered our questions about the bread. We bought bread, a baguette and some croissants. Everything was soooo good and fresh, the baguette was very crispy and the croissants were flaky. They also serve coffee from Hot Pipes, which is my favorite coffee in town. The place also sells products for a cheese board, including cold cuts. The bakery is a bit on the pricier side, as a croissant was 12 RON (~2.3€) and the bread was 28 RON (5.8€). If the price is fine for you, it's totally worth it.

A real original place in Cluj. Everything is good and fresh and very tasty. From bread to foccacia, from croissants to holly cannoli, and many more. A place to visit at least once.
