Bread & Friends

Health food shops have recently gained in popularity in Veliko Tarnovo, but Bread & Friends has been operating for a number of years and is a favourite for locals to buy freshly made bread, pastries and biscuits. Here you can purchase a huge variety of teas, nuts, seeds, honey, oils, cured meats and cheeses, which have mostly been locally sourced.
