Some of the best Pastel De Natas we have tried in Porto so far!! My husband and I do not speak Portuguese but the gentleman at the front was very kind and patient and we figured our way through gesturing and pointing. Note that there is a min $5 euro spend at this cafe for credit card (I’m sure very standard), we will have to remember to bring cash next time! Which will be very soon because wow these pastries were delicious

Nice clean and roomy bakery. Breads were warm and fresh. Had a tosta mista on pão caseiro and it was yummy. Love the customized table tops.

Without a doubt the best Pastéis de Nata we had while in Porto! A very unassuming cafe/bakery that is easy to miss walking by, but well worth your time! An extremely friendly older couple and possibly their son or other family member, made some great Americanos and of course the tarts as well as the croissants are to die for. I'm sure you could happily spend a couple of days working your way through their specialties and it would not be a wasted endeavor.

We had a late lunch in this unassuming restaurant, on a rainy October day. The owner was so incredibly nice with a great sense of humor. He made us feel at home. The food was great too.
