Monastery's bakery

I ordered mekitsa with strawberry and mekitsa with cheese , it was crispy and hot ! What a nice Bulgarian breakfast in the morning =)

You must try the mekitza; it was delicious. It was fresh and hot, and I added sugar on top. I also purchased the monastery bread, which had just come out of the oven, and it was one of the best loaves of bread I have had in Bulgaria!

Best mekitsa ever! And super cheap, 1 lev each

This was the best Mekitsa for me. Really the best food option at the monastery and so fresh and hot with some sugar on top.
also sells drinks and coffee vending machine next door. Very reasonable at 1 Lev each.

The mekitsa are delicious, so is the yoghurt. Delicious and cheap typical desserts. From Italian the worst Lavazza coffee in the world to the automatic machine.

So good 🤤 get a few Mekitsa's, you won't regret it! 1 lev each (cash/coins only)

Most delicious Mekitsa in Bulgaria! Definitely a must when visiting the Rila Monastery. Unfortunately, we very so hungry and the smell was delicious that we did not take a picture before digging in 😌

Thank you to the guy who was working today at 5 PM, he was very kind with us ! The mekitsa was delicious-

Best place to grab Mekitsa’s! Best food option at the monastery, also sells drinks and coffee vending machine next door. Very reasonable at 1 Lev each.

The best mekitsa I’ve had in Bulgaria - was super fresh it burnt my fingers. People negative comments are about the fact it’s not a bakery. It stands on where the monastery’s old bakery used to be, hence the name

Bought mekitza, a kind of donut and yogurt while visit the monastery.

Amazing Bulgarian donuts. Fresh/hot and very tasty. Long queue there so beware. But worth the wait

Amazing, try with jam and cheese together!

Authentic, cheap and tasty, and in a beautiful surrounding

Yummy and super cheap Mekitsa. We ordered two to try and we came back before closing. Best with icing sugar on the top. Not the best to eat in the seating outdoor area as it is full of wasps.

Very good Food very nice, don’t go the Restaurant Next door tho they are very rude

Mekitsa is famous here. We tried it. It was good.

Very good, warm and fresh mekitza. Yogurt is tasty too.

Delicious Bulgarian «  donut », fresh and crispy! It was perfect for our breakfast we also bought a small portion of jam but otherwise you can find icing sugar on the tables outside. But be careful! Once you tried one, you want to buy more....

Very specialized bakery, offering mekitsi and yogurt (from cow, sheep and buffalo milk). Mekitsi are very cheap (0.5 leva for one) and fresh, and the service is fast, so the line moves quickly. There are jars with sugar powder on the tables (really recommend to add some! Mekitsi themselves aren't sweet).
