I can't say enough good things about this Portuguese bakery – it's an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked pastries, and it only gets better from there. First, let's talk about the stars of the show – the pastéis de nata. These custard tarts are pure perfection, with a flaky pastry crust that practically melts in your mouth and a creamy custard filling that's just the right balance of sweet and velvety. Trust me; you'll want to savor every bite. But that's not all; they also have pasteis de coco that are out of this world. These coconut pastries are sweet, slightly crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside – a delightful treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. Now, let's not forget about the papo secos – those Portuguese bread rolls. They're soft, fluffy, and have that lovely crust that makes them a perfect vessel for everything from cheese to jam. To wash it all down, they offer sumol, a Portuguese soft drink that's incredibly refreshing and the perfect complement to all these delicious treats. Overall, this bakery deserves a solid 5 stars for its exceptional Portuguese pastries and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the mood for an authentic taste of Portugal, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit – you won't be disappointed!
