    This was such a delicious stop in Sintra! After a long day of travel from the southern coast this…read morewas the closest place to our bed-and-breakfast. When we arrived, they were just doing counter service and closing for the afternoon, but we were able to get a panini and we found local craft beer (which was pretty neat) and they let us eat on their patio. I had the Iberian sandwich which has Iberian prosciutto, flamengo cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickled red onion. It was the perfect sandwich to cure my hangry. When we went for lunch the day before we did not know that this café was also the breakfast part of our bed and breakfast. We stayed at a bed-and-breakfast the next street over and both mornings a continental breakfast at this café was included. This is one of the best breakfasts I have ever had as part of the bed-and-breakfast. We were each served a portion of fresh fruit (which changed by the day), a boiled egg, a couple slices of ham and cheese, a pastel de nata, a basket of crossiants and rolls to share, and whatever you would like to drink. I had fresh squeezed orange juice, and a latte both days. Thankfully, like most places in Portugal they offer dairy alternatives. I honestly still dream about this breakfast. The wait staff on all of our trips were so friendly and helpful. It is really a beautiful set up and they have many things that you can purchase as well. I personally purchased a bowl shaped like a strawberry that I now have in my kitchen. This is definitely a stop. You need to make while in Sintra!

    This was about 5 minutes from the train. We got breakfast here before heading to Place of pena…read more Service was good.We ordered the scone, croissant, cappuccino, Smoked Salmon Sandwich & Iberian Prosciutto Sandwich. Both sandwiches were XL & came with Mozzarella, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickled Red Onion & Olive Oil. Sandwiches were simply but very delicious. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Overall, a decent place for food. Price was fairly reasonable

    I was honestly a little disappointed at first, when our tour guide took us here for lunch and I saw…read morethat it was "just" a sandwich shop. It seemed like a bit of a hole in the wall, which I always think makes the best food, so I gave it (and our tour guide) the benefit of the doubt, and I realized quickly that it had steady traffic and a constant line, which is always a good sign. I got the smoked ham and fresh cheese on a fresh baguette - the smoked ham was like a prosciutto and the fresh cheese like a ricotta, with lettuce, tomato, olive oil, and dried oregano. Very fresh, simple, bread was nice and crusty, and the olive oil and oregano were a nice touch. Seemed more of an Italian-inspired lunch to me, but I'm not complaining! Good value, too, at about only 4 euros per sandwich. No outdoor seating and limited seating inside, but there's a washroom and the tap is outside of it, so you can actually even fill up your water bottle here as well. On the left side, when you first walk in, there's also a little section for gelato - not sure if this is part of Puro Sabor or another side shop within, but either way, you can get a sandwich and dessert in the same spot.

    I asked the museum guards where they eat and they said this place- well done, museum guards! The…read moresandwiches are a great deal and they're delicious. I've been here twice now- each time for sweets and sandwiches. Always perfect. Try to pay in exact change- it gets really crowded here and it slows them down if you give them a big bill. Plus it's really cheap, so it's easy to have exactly change. You will be happy with anything here.

    Queijadinha 葡式椰香小蛋糕…read more Will return. A charming little café right off a busy street. Seating is limited unless they have a backyard. Their queijadinhas are delicious. I saw a woman bring a dozen to our breakfast spot, Cafe Saudude. The egg tarts are well known in Macau, Hong Kong, and now in China. The queijadinha, 葡式椰香小蛋糕 or 巴西椰蓉球, is less popular. Per wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queijadinha - Queijadinha is a custard tart that originated in Brazil. The locals, aka the Portuguese, beg to differ. Another aspect of Brazilian influence on Portugal is that, even though Portugal was the colonizer and Brazil was the colony. It's funny to get different answers on who or where Queijadinha originated. Our guest house lady from Sintra said, "Wiki is wrong. It's from Portugal." One Uber driver from Brazil said straight, "Oh, it's from Brazil." Wherever it originated, it's delicious from Sapa. They have a minimum of €4.5 for a credit card purchase.

    Adorable bakery & cafe with delicious little treats. I honestly have no idea what they were called…read morebut we had two of the little mini cakes that were in the glass dome and they were so scrumptious! Our tour guide recommended it at the start of our ride as a perfect compliment to some coffee and he was absolutely right! There is seating and bathrooms to the right of where you order that is very quaint and adorable, there's also seating of course on the patio near where you first enter. Highly recommend stopping in or taking your order to go!

    Heretofore I guess my job was to loiter outside various Ale Hop stores in a variety of thankfully…read morewarm countries, most notably Spain and Portugal they've even spread out into airports. The stores are notable for the life size Frisian cow that stands in the doorway with her head outside the door. I've recently loitered in Cadiz, Malaga, Seville, Santa Cruz De Tenerife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Funchal, Madeira and Lisbon to name a few so you get the picture. Ale Hop is an emporium flogging bags, textiles necklaces, scarves, hats, stationery and other I really don't need stuff. This changed in Sintra, an historic Portuguese town with a huge castle literally miles up on top of a mountain enveloped in a huge park. It's even hilly inside the castle. Sintra is also well provided for with a 10th century Moorish castle, whimsical palaces and extravagant villas. We didn't know an Ale Hop cafe existed so for the first time I was inside one of these stores for longer than five minutes. I got a small glass of fresh orange juice and a cream doughnut at a 'deal price' of 4 euro. In Portuguese terms I was overcharged for the portion sizes. The doughnut was quite good and I had several creams to choose from but the doughnut was not cream filled rather it was cut open and ungenerously spread very thin with a knife. The creams are used for toppings on frozen yoghurts. The picture showed a well filled doughnut. They also sold a variety of slices of cake and frozen yogurts. The coffee was from a machine so the server just pressed a button so it's a hotel style unimpressive breakfast coffee from a machine. A few hours before I got a single shot proper espresso a mile away in a tourist area for 1 euro. The staff were friendly and helpful which gets a star, the seating was comfy and they had a restroom which is deserving of an extra star so borderline three stars. Without a restroom and in the food alone it might have scraped two stars, but the quality just ain't there so more likely one star. Would I return to one of their cafes - no not really unless there's nothing else around or no toilet nearby. I'd much rather loiter and find proper coffee. Even the cow is looking outside.

    After all the castle-hopping in Sintra, I made a quick stop into this cafe looking for a bite to…read moreeat before the next castle. It is a simple shop attached to a store as well. I decided to try one Cheese Tart/Queijada (€1.20) and one Custard Tart/Pastel de Nata (€1.60) along with a bottle of water (€1.50). As my first pastel de nata experience in Portugal, I was greatly disappointed. Both tarts were cold and hard like it has been sitting there all day. Even the filling was not creamy at all. Quite frankly, I ate them simply to have some food in my stomach. You are better off finding a meal or snack at the other restaurants in the village instead.
