Man, we tried so many different pastel de nata from so many bakeries on our trip to Portugal, I'm…read morestill catching up on all the review drafts I wrote notes into - I'd totally forgotten about this one, from the penultimate day of our trip. One of my sub-goals of that trip was trying basically as many pastel de nata as I possibly could, so seeing a place on our way up to the castle by foot (just after the free elevator), obviously I had to stop and try theirs. By this point I'd tried a whole bunch already, so I can say, out of all of them, the *crust* was really good, possibly among the best I'd had. Perfectly flaky, crispy, flavorful crust, inside of which was totally disappointing filling, a filling that was mostly sugary rather than eggy, and was quite drippy once you start eating it. I can't speak to any of their other pastries, though, we were just here to taste-test all the pastel de nata we could find. :D (If I were back in the area, I'd totally come back to try some of their other, more interesting things.)

It was 1.50 euro for a pastel de nata and it paired beautifully with a meia de leite (flat white). The pastel de nata was more custardy and the crust wasn't as flaky as I imagined, but I really enjoyed it!

If they are available, you can grab a seat and look out the window while enjoying the egg tarts! Now, onto the main attraction, the pasteis de nata, Portuguese custard tarts. It was pretty delicious!

Oh no. Am I the only one who doesn't like the pastel de nata custard tarts this place is known for?…read moreI was so bummed that I didn't like the custard. Had I liked the custard, they would have been so good, such an experience. The crust is so good, and it was served hot. They didn't understand my "to go" request as they say "takeaway." Anyway, I loved that the woman kept trying to understand me. I wish I spoke Portuguese, and I'm so thankful that these gracious folks are great about trying to understand the Americans who don't speak multiple languages. I didn't realize that when I said part of my order "for here" and part "to go" that there was no place to sit!! I ordered, forgot that I was supposed to put cinnamon on top and took my place standing at the bar watching the folks in the kitchen preparing the pastries for the next guests. Although I missed out on the cinnamon, I don't think for me that this would have been better with it. Just not for me. However, the woman next to me was having an orgasmic eating experience. Definitely worth a try.

You can order for dine in or takeaway. There is a small outdoor patio and some standing counters inside where you can watch the pasteis being made- so you know they are fresh! It's a little more expensive for takeaway, I believe. The menu is simple- mainly the pasteis and some coffee beverages. I got one pasteis and a cappuccino for dine in, both of which were excellent. The pasteis was fresh, warm and the pasty was nice and flaky. They have sugar and cinnamon readily available. Highly recommend!

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.

Fábrica da Nata focuses on doing one thing extremely well: Portuguese custard tarts…read more The pastéis de nata are served fresh and warm, with the signature caramelized top that gives way to a smooth, creamy custard center. The custard strikes a great balance -- rich and eggy but not overly sweet. The pastry shell is where these really shine: thin layers of laminated dough baked until they're deeply golden and crisp. The result is that perfect textural contrast: crackly pastry on the outside and silky custard inside. Like most Portuguese pastry shops, the setup is straightforward. You order at the counter, the service is quick, and the focus is on getting the tarts to you while they're still warm from the oven. Cinnamon and powdered sugar are available to sprinkle on top, which adds a nice extra layer of flavour. Lisbon has many places competing for the title of best pastel de nata, but Fábrica da Nata holds its own. The quality is consistent, the tarts are fresh, and it's an easy stop whether you're looking for a quick snack or a traditional Portuguese pastry with coffee.

Service was quick and both packed together in a paper sack. They were nice and warm. We had to remove them to add our cinnamon and powdered sugar in the store so that was one of the drawbacks of ordering to go. Luckily our hotel was just minutes away and the natas were still warm when we got back. Overall our mouths enjoyed the flaky, crunchy crust and creamy texture of the egg tart but it seemed bit too soft this time. Still in our top 3 places to grab pasteis de nata in Portugal.
