The first time I had them, I didn't buy it directly from…read morethe factory so I'm not sure how long they've been sitting out (they are supposedly good for 20 days). I thought they were just ok. However, my friend and I happened to pass by the factory when we were on our way to another destination, so we decided to stop in to see the factory. The factory itself isn't that big (takes about a few seconds to see the whole thing). Because we saw the ladies wrapping the freshly made queijadas, we decided to order some coffee and try the queijadas there. The difference in the texture and taste of the freshly made queijadas vs the one I bought at the cafe (also from this factory) was HUGE! The freshly made one tasted delicious! Highly recommend coming here to try this Portuguese pastry with some coffee! You won't regret it!

These little dense egg yolk cakes are a yummy sweet breakfast and a specialty of the island that all visitors need to try. The queijadas were delicious and we came back another day for more and to buy a box to bring home (sold in souvenir boxes of 6 or 12). This place may be cash only, not completely sure. When we were there at 9am when they first opened we were able to watch the staff wrapping all the individual queijadas. There was also a big bus of tourists that was dropped off right at 9am and they flooded in the small place to all buy pastries, so keep that in mind when planning your stop here - not sure if this is something that happens every morning. You order everything at the counter and there are a few tables inside and some tables out on the patio as well. When I went back it was around 2 pm and there were only a few other people there.

If this ain't good enough, it's in Madeira and on the right side of the island for a near tropical micro climate - apparently it's a whole different climate on the other side of the island. It's biggest difficulty is that it's surrounded by lots of similar places also serving up delicious cakes and pastries and darn good coffee. So what, you ask - what's your point. Well it's genuine competition between bakeries in quality and price that gluttons like me benefit from (only our waistlines may suffer) as we have a choice of great quality sweet stuff with really good prices I mean Italy it isn't - no evidence of spiv activity you find endemic there in bars, cafes and restaurants. And it's clear to see that those friendly, polite Madeirenses not only have an ever present sweet tooth but they like a bargain.

Before we visited Ponta Delgada, we visited Lisbon, and we had the pastel de nata (egg custard…read moretart) which we loved. So while strolling down the street, I noticed this place sold bakery items, so I thought I would check it out. First thing I noticed was a sign on the counter with a picture of the pastel de nada and a small cup of espresso for 1€. The pastry was very good, and still warm. Taste was almost identical to the one I had in Lisbon. (individual pastel de nata was 80 cents) This was my first cup of espresso, and I could only manage one little sip. Much to powerful for me. They offered free WiFi, which we used and worked good. They had fresh squeezed orange juice. I noticed several people buying sandwiches and soup. Great find. Short walk from the cruise pier.

The outside was crispy and inside was filled with moist custard. We came here 3 times while staying in Ponta Delgada and the eggtarts were consistently good each day. They sometimes have eggtarts with chocolate which are also yummy. We tried a few of the other pastries that were in the clear case, but my favorite was always the eggtarts. The pastries in the clear casing can vary day to day so try the treat you want because they might not have it the next day!

I would give it 0 stars if allowed. I found a roach in one of the chantilly cream pastries (see…read morephotos). Service wasn't exactly 5-star worthy, but the line moved efficiently and the guy answered my questions. The total approximate price that I recall was 3,60€ for 4 pastries (a great deal!) paid in cash but I saw other customers before me paying by credit card. I visited this place after it was highly praised for its pastries (esp the canelas and pico de chocolate) by the local and native tour guide. My friend enjoyed the 2 mentioned above, but I decided to go with the 2 chantilly pastries available. Locating the bakery was not easy at night as I was in the quiet area alone around 9:45pm and there was no sign advertising the business. The bakery was very dimly lit as if off and windows were textured so it was impossible to see beyond. The only confirmation it was the bakery was the homeless guy across the street noticing my confusion and informing that it opens at 10pm. I came back shortly after since it was recommended and my last night in the island. Proof that the bakery was a local mainstay showed people were serviced right after their 10pm opening ordering several goods and a few already lined up to order. I left the bakery with the bags tied tightly so there was no way the pest got in until I was ready to eat. As the photos show, the insect seemed intact but it looks dry and not so much freshly smushed. Thank goodness I waited until I was at the hotel in bright lighting to see this instead of eating in the dark night walking back to my hotel. Who knows how much of a wing or leg I ate before noticing the body!! I would go back to complain but it was too late and I was on my way to Terceira. I guess the only comfort is knowing insects are a delicacy in certain parts of the world and no one died from eating it, let alone a speck that might have been eaten by me. It's just so gross and embarrassing knowing I almost finished the pastry before seeing what you see in the picture and I'm not one to have an adventurous palette.
