The Prickly Pear

About Us

At Prickly Pear we seek to delight you with an extraordinary flavourful adventure. Named after the local prickly pear fruit with a tough exterior and a soft interior, this dominant fruit on the Maltese Islands surprises one’s palate, as underneath the prickly fruit skin, lies a fruit intense in flavours.

Freshly baked every day, our takeaway pastry counter is filled with irresistible sweet treats crafted by our in-house pastry chefs. From delicate tarts and creamy cheesecakes to indulgent mousses, cupcakes, doughnuts, and traditional Maltese favourites, every creation is prepared using quality ingredients and a passion for flavour.

Perfect for sharing, gifting, or simply treating yourself, our pastries are available daily for takeaway — making it easy to enjoy a little Prickly Pear sweetness wherever you are. Whether you’re picking up dessert for a special occasion or a quick afternoon delight, our counter always has something freshly prepared waiting for you.
