Of course, you will come across these famous desserts all over, but I'm honestly so glad that I held out for a day or two until I could try these. They were seriously so good! And it sort of made my first bite more of a whole experience.
Yes, the line here can be a bit long. But again, I think in a way it sort of added to the fun/overall experience of it. Considering the popularity, I don't think the wait was too terrible. Would I come here every day or every time I wanted pastel de nata? No. There are countless other spots that are amazing too! But I feel like this one was worth it once!
The nata came out nice and warm, with a creamy flavor, a fluffy but firm texture, and a caramelized sweetness with bit with that hint of eggy savory-sweetness, too. The crust was flakey.
I decided to eat inside and I also feel happy with that choice. The decor was cute and very "Lisbon"- lots of blues and whites. I also ordered a latte which was nice and had whipped cream with cinnamon, which paired really nicely with the nata actually.
