I love a good egg tart and malasada so was excited to try this spot since not many places offer fresh malasadas! We came on a weekday around 11:30AM and quickly ordered. Each item was about $4-5 each. Service was fast and friendly Pastel de nata (4.5/5): I really enjoyed it, the crust was perfectly flaky and the egg filling was creamy! My only complaint is that there was a bit too much egg filling, compared to the crust, so the ratio was a bit off. I would come back for these! Malasadas (3/5): good sweetness but I thought the texture of it was overly thick and dense. I'm no expert but I prefer them soft and fluffy. I preferred the no filling to the sweet egg cream filling read more

Wow! What an absolutely disappointment. As a Portuguese person, I grew up on Pastel de Nata or what we call from our island Cajada de Nata. I was SOOOO sad and disappointed just by the appearance of them when arriving, they were all burnt! You can't tell me they are supposed to look like this because nowhere on their website or instagram to they advertise them with black tops. I purchase Pastel de Nata quite frequently from my local bakery in San Leandro and since we were finally in San Jose, I was SO excited at the opportunity to try new ones from this "popular bakery" and I'm confused on how these sell? I ordered 13 pastel de Nata (6 traditional & the remaining a mix of all the flavors they offer) I'd hope when packing my boxes they'd attempt to throw some in there that weren't burnt from the top but the pictures speak for themselves. The burnt top ruins the taste of the pastry itself. The filling to crust ratio isn't it. Needs more custard or a slightly thinner crust. Attaching photos for reference. We also arrived at 11am (1.5 hours after they opened) and there was literally only 1 malasada left, I'm so happy it happened to be dulce de leche which I wanted and purchased it. My husband, son, and I LOVED it! That's the reason for the 1 star (although I can't give less) I'd recommend they make more Malasadas and less Pastel de Nata to keep up with the demand, a couple families walked in after me and walked right out when they realized there weren't any in stock and they genuinely taste better then the Pastel de Nata, you can tell that's where the high ratings come from and why they are popular. Overall - would recommend 1000% skipping the pastel de Nata unfortunately it does not taste anything like the ones I've had before. Not a true reflection of what it should taste/look like. We made the drive super excited to finally come and try and ignore the reviews saying it wasn't the best just to confirm they were correct. read more

Pro tip: use the too good to go app, to get a few pastries at a subsidized price. Authentic Portuguese bakery that has amazing service, cashiers were friendly and nice! Very clean environment! And the pastries are 10/10 I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a sweet treat! read more

Very clean and a lot of seating, staff were also very friendly. Love that they have a self serve to go area. Parking is downtown San Jose so you have to find street parking or find a parking garage nearby. Plain Egg tarts: 4.5/5 Cinnamon egg tarts: 4/5, you have to really love and appreciate cinnamon At $4.50/egg tart, it's very fair pricing in 2026. Not the best egg tart I ever had, easily have had much better in Hong Kong, sj Vietnam town, sf Chinatown, but if you're new to egg tarts and not anywhere near the places I mentioned above, this is a very good second choice. read more

Finally got to try them. Unfortunately no malasadas until 1.5 hr later. Was given the option to pre-order. Apparently you can call to preorder too ? Got the tarts and wow very flaky !! The lamination and butter was spot on. The filling was just a touch too sweet for us. Had the original and the apple cinnamon. Didn't except the apple to be a fave, but it was. Think of an elevated apple pie or even an elevated McDonald's apple pie. Don't skip out, try it ! Also had the coconut brioche, very light but not much coconut flavor. I would come again if in the mood ! read more

Came around 11:45 am on a weekday and there was no line to order. They have a big display of all their delicious looking egg tarts and malasadas! The malasadas were huge, thick and covered with sugar! They were much denser and chewier than the ones I've had in Hawaii so I prefer them light and fluffy. The original malasada with no filling wasn't too sweet. The malasada with sweet egg cream was a bit sweet as it was stuffed with cream. The pastel de nata was thick and nicely crispy and the egg filling was tasty but kinda sweet. read more

The pastéis de nata doesn't really taste like the authentic ones you get in Portugal. While I was traveling to Lisbon, I've visited Pastéis de Belém which is a legendary shop that sells these. The pastéis de nata was created by the monks in order to survive after the monastery was dissolved. That same recipe is still being used at that shop to this very day. Although I wasn't expecting a replica of the original, I did expect it to capture the core characteristics of a Portuguese egg tart. That said being said, I think the crust isn't bad but the texture of the custard more like a gel than a custard. Also I couldn't really taste any custard flavor. read more

I wanted to like this place, but I just don't see the hype. The pastries were stale and lacked flavor. Even the malasadas were underwhelming and if you think they are similar to Leonard's, then this does not come close. For the Portuguese tarts, they were served a bit cold. I'd recommend reheating them. The crust was so oily it seeped through the napkin and the filling was overly sweet. I took one bite and couldn't finish it. Overall, the texture and flavor didn't meet expectations. Service was decent but the staff were not friendly. This was a bit of a letdown. If you can, I'd suggest driving or taking the train to SF for this better spot, Holy Nata. It was so much better. read more

Pastelaria Adega - A dozen of each different Portuguese tarts ~ a bit cuteeee! - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

I first heard about Pastelaria Adega through social media, and after seeing so many delicious-looking pastries, I had to stop in and see what all the hype was about. I decided to try the almond croissant, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. The croissant was incredibly flaky--so much so that it seemed like half of it ended up on the plate! Thankfully, none of those buttery layers went to waste. I happily scooped up every last crumb. The almond filling was the perfect balance of light and airy while still delivering a rich, satisfying flavor. It was obvious that a lot of care went into making it. There were so many other pastries that looked amazing, so this definitely won't be my last visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of what they have to offer. read more

Went on a Sunday 10 minutes before they opened and there was already a line forming outside. So safe to say this place does get busy--so do come early or preorder. It is a small shop with a few tables to sit at. The display of all of the tarts was presented nicely and clearly labeled. I tried their plain Portuguese egg tart and the chocolate one--both of which were good and some of the best egg tarts I've had. I ate both of them hours later and they were both still flaky, creamy/custard-y, and still had a nice bite/crisp to it. I like how it didn't taste eggy like some tarts I've tried before. Besides egg tarts, they offer other pastries that I have yet to try. read more

Still one of my favorite places, and their pastel de natas are always delicious and perfect. The crust is so flaky and buttery. The custards are smooth and all taste as advertised. Price is $4 for a single pastel de nata or $21 for a box of 6. Highly recommend parking at a free 90 minute garage, then walking over here. Service is usually quick and friendly. read more

Pastelaria Adega - regular, chocolate, blueberry, passion fruit, and cinnamon (not pictured) - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

The first time I tried Pastelaria Ageda's Pastel De Nata was when the first blow-up on social media and there were a line in front of their door. My family got me their original Portuguese Egg Tart, Ham & Cheese Croissant, and Chourico Bread to-go. The croissant and the bread were too buttery for my taste, I love buttery flaky pastries in general but these were too much to handle, like they basically soaked in butter, I cannot even taste the flavor of the ham or the sliced linguica sausage. But the egg tart was good, the shell were flaky and rich in butter, meanwhile the egg custard filling have a nice fragrant smell of egg & milk with soft jelly-like texture. So this time when I was around downtown SJ, I decided to stop by to get myself an egg tart, as a quick tasty snack on the go. The lovely lady behind the counter helped me get the good and check out all under 3 minutes. The store ambience were bright and have a lovely cyan/blue color theme, I feel calm and relax when I enter the door. But this time, the egg tart didn't taste as good as I remembered. Funny thing is, I thought when I bought it in store, the egg tart supposed to be fresher and tastier in compare with my to-go experience. Likes... it was still that same egg tart but somehow the flavors and texture decreased 20-30%. I still finished it tho, but I don't know if I will want to give it another try in the future. read more

Ordered: Box of 6 Pasteis de Nata (~$21): traditional, hazelnut, blueberry, strawberry, passionfruit, and cinnamon apple Aya's take: Pastelaria Adega came well-recommended by a friend and we decided to give it a try. As I couldn't get there before the afternoon, we placed an order in advance which was a great move considering they were out of most flavors by then if I had just walked in to try some. The Pasteis de Nata were all good in the sense that they were flaky, creamy (not eggy), and not overly sweet. I was most excited to try the passionfruit one but I will say it tasted pretty much like the traditional with passionfruit seeds on top. There must have been the slightest hint of passionfruit, if at all. The flavor needs to be way more pronounced. The hazelnut was one of my favorites; the cream inside was delicious and it honestly didn't need the sprinkles on top. Both blueberry & strawberry were also well done and added a nice tart flavor to each bite. Sadly, mine was not served in their pretty boxes; apparently they charge ~$3 for that now. Decent try! read more

Pastelaria Adega - Box of 6 Pasteis de Nata (~$21): traditional, hazelnut, blueberry, strawberry, passionfruit, and cinnamon apple - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

I saw this place on TikTok and had been waiting to try it for a long time. I was finally in the area and decided to try! I'll start off by saying it's in downtown San Jose. Parking is a little challenging and the area isn't great. Walking up it's smelly and dirty. I know some of you will say I'm being dramatic or delicate but it's just my opinion. Anyway, the baked goods are good. The stuffed sugary pastry is a bit much, a little too sweet and large portion. So it's a good idea to share if you aren't much of a sweets person. Pairing it with one of their espresso coffees makes it perfect. The croissant, in my opinion is the star of the place. It's the best I've had! I got a ham and cheese melt, omg delicious!! The woman at the counter was friendly and prices were decent. Definitely worth the try! read more

My mom and I dropped in not knowing anything about this cafe. We were greeted, shown options, and were delighted by how yummy everything looked! We got malassadas that were delicious! Not too sweet great flavor. We also purchased a chicken pot pie which got great reviews and what I think was linguica bread/roll which my husband proclaimed he would go back for. The young lady at the register was very sweet and the owner was also ice. She did look like it had been a busy and it was a hot day. Loved this place and will go back! read more

I finally happened to be in the area to try this place. It was around 11am on a Saturday and luckily no line. There were lots of different pastries to try but since I was on my way to lunch somewhere else I needed to limit my purchase. The place is small so to go is the best option. Since I was the only person at the counter, the service was good and attentive. I wanted to try the malasadas but some of them looked a little sad I guess since they probably have been sitting there for hours prefilled with pastry cream. I stuck with just trying the egg tarts. I tried the original and a chocolate one. They are small. I was surprised they came warm which was a good sign. Each tasted great. The crust was flaky how it should be. Each egg tart is $4. There is a sign at the register charging a 5% cost of living surcharge and then taxed. To me this seemed a little steep for 2 small egg tarts. If I was in the area and ok to splurge, sure I'll try this place again. However I would not go out of my way to come here. read more

Tried this spot through TooGooToGo, glad I did because we got to try a great mix of pastries! Bakery had no queue at 3:15pm, staff was kind, and surprise bag pick-up was super-fast. Highlights: * The croissants! Enormous (nearly the length of a whole salad/dessert plate), buttery, great for dunking in hot coffee. * Partner loved the Pão com Chouriço (bread with chorizo) - he ate one with salad for a filling lunch. Will definitely be back to try more sweets & their sandwiches. read more

I ordered a set of 12 pastel de nata and 6 malassadas to split with my team. I selected the lemon and the chocolate hazelnut. The crust of the Portuguese egg tarts is so amazing! I love making custard and think I could attempt to replicate this at home, but the flaky crust is what I would struggle with replicating for sure. The lemon helped temper the sugary goodness of the egg tart, while the creamy hazelnut spread added another texture in the mix for my egg tart. The malassadas were just alright, they were very doughy and a bit tiring to eat since they lacked a more nuanced flavor (what with the sweetness of the malassada bread and the filling). My boyfriend liked his strawberry one and I enjoyed my plain vanilla one very much. read more

Cute little family owned Portuguese bakery! Lots of variety and options, staff are friendly, area it is in is pretty rough with some homeless wandering around so careful where you park and that also is hard ( had to park far away) the pastel de nata's taste amazing and authentic to the ones in Portugal. Lemon malassadas were a bit lacking in the lemon flavor. Price point is also a bit high, sandwitch costs here were kinda spooky. read more

Found this cute pastry shop on Santa Clara St in Downtown San Jose. We were looking for something sweet to eat and thought to check this out. Difficult street payment parking but free street parking on Sunday. They have a few tables to seat at, nothing outside. Always seems to be very busy but service is friendly but slow. I think why the lines are long. Very good quality pastry selection at decent prices. Everything we ordered was good. Their traditional Portuguese tarts are always a good choice. Their chocolate and almond croissants are huge, larger than my hand size, at $8ea but well worth it. They are flaky and filled with stuff. Their malasadas are big and soft even a day old, and they are not stingy on filling. Their malasadas hazelnut chocolate, coconut and regular cream are very good $5ea. I even like their unfilled malasadas. I would definitely come back to Pastelaria Adega again if I am in the area. I would like to try their sandwiches as it looks good and they sell a few other items on their shelves as well. [14R,2025] read more

I came upon this Pastelaria by accident. I was waiting for someone who was at another shop and decided to take a walk and explore. I saw he ad board on the sidewalk and so I went in and to my surprise was a wide array of Portuguese pastries, which I was very familiar with. I couldn't decide. There were malasadas with several fillings, arroz doce, pastéis de nata with different flavors. There were many others. They also serve Sumol. Que saudades. A comida não desiludiu. read more

I thought this place was overrated initially, and because of this didn't quite give it the chance I should've when it came around to trying it. My friend recently got me a box as a gift though... and woah I was completely wrong! The egg tarts here are SO good. We started eating them with the intent of just sampling one, but ended up finishing the entire box in one sitting lol. They've made a new fan out of me! The egg tarts here are fresh and tasty. Not to mention, they're not too sweet either! I loved how there were so many unique flavors to try. I'm typically not a fan of passion fruit, but that egg tart ended up being my favorite one. Definitely give them a try if you have the chance! read more

OK, I will go along with folks that like the food, I am a fan, but may not go back. The woman running the place most days could use a big infusion of personality and manners. From past experience, I thought maybe she is just quirky. But today openly ignored me while waiting to order, even after I said "Hi" and stepped up to order. Pivoted and immediately helped/served the guy who came in after me with no explanation. Seemed like he was a regular? Nevertheless, rude! read more

Enjoyed the pastries and donuts here! They are on the sweet side and very satisfying when you are in the mood for some well-made sweet treats! Got 6 of the small tarts and 2 donuts, one with strawberry and the other with chocolate hazelnut fillings. I personally loved the hazelnut filling and the donut texture was fluffy and light! The tarts were delicious as well and I enjoyed the lemon flavor; though the blueberry one was also good but the custard overpowered the fruity notes. Inside was pretty with comfortable lighting and decor. The lady who served me was full of smiles and very pleasant too. It was a great experience. read more

I've wanted to go to Adega for the longest time, and I still haven't, and since they've reopened, that's definitely a goal of mine. In the meantime, they've opened a pastelaria, and I'm glad I walked in as I was on the way home from another bakery because this place is tremendous. Upon entry I was greeted by so many delicious-looking malasadas, and the best part was there was a deal on them if you bought more than four. I got the cookies and cream (it was fine), coconut (the best), Dulce de leche (a little dense), and sweet egg cream (also delicious). It definitely tasted like Leonard's Hawaii without the more tropical options so I'll be back for these. He also got like the biggest chocolate croissant I've ever seen for $8. There's plenty of sprinkles so it gets messy on that regard, but I wish there was more chocolate in it. Aside from that, they're quick, the service is nice, and the prices are a lot better than I thought they'd be considering this place is connected to a Michelin Star establishment. read more

Looking for pastries? Look no further .. This place has the best pastries in town! Lots of options to choose from, the both the coconut and egg cream malasadas (Portuguese pastry) are amazing. They also have the largest selection of egg cream tarts I've ever seen, different flavors and some even topped with fruits. The service is fast and efficient, and most importantly patient... there is just way too much to choose from. It's a somewhat small store, but you can find street or parking lot parking nearby, a lot of the street parking is 1 hour max, more than enough time to 'grab and go'.

Saw this place on Instagram, and had to give it a try! The line was pretty long and moved a bit slowly, but the staff was kind and welcoming, which helped make the wait more bearable. Traditional Pasteis de Nata - The crust was absolutely phenomenal--so crunchy, flaky, and packed with flavor. Honestly, it's one of the best crusts I've ever had, even compared to some spots I visited in Portugal this summer. It brought back fond memories and even surpassed a few of the bakeries I tried there! The custard filling, however, fell a bit short for me. It was smooth and creamy, but the flavor was a bit one-note and lacked the depth I was hoping for. It just tasted sweet with not much flavor. That said, the crust alone makes these pastries worth a high score. If you're a fan of pasteis de nata--or just want to try one with an amazing crust--this place is worth a visit! read more
