Five stars for how fast the waitress has to work here. This place gets very busy (especially since…read moreit's in a highly touristic area of Sintra), and even more so in rainy hours when everyone is trying to hide indoors. They mostly offer pastries and beverages, but despite one person managing all the tables, our order was accurate and came out quickly. We were able to escape the rain for a bit and fuel up with sugar and coffee. Fun historical note: the bakery was established in 1862 (164 years ago!) by baker Amaro dos Santos and his wife Constância Gomes, and it is now managed by the fifth generation of the family, which makes the quick coffee stop feel even more special.

When you first get there go inside and pull a number. All of the people waiting outside when we were there had already gotten a number. We had high hopes for the pastries here based on the hype. Ordered a box full of a variety including travesseiro, pastel de nata, coconut tarts and a sintra nata tart. Pastries were good, but very sweet. I still prefer thenpastel de nata from Mantegeiria. The servers are very friendly and patient while you decide on your order.

Amazing pastries, great service, and such a cute cafe overall! Highlight of our sintra visit!read more

Wonderful pastries. The locals highly recommend trying the egg custard type pastry (I forgot what…read morethey called here). Love how the baked goods aren't too sweet. Every pastry is pretty filling so they're great for sharing with your love. Perfect spot for an afternoon tea or coffee. Heck- it's dessert... so it's perfect anytime of the day ;) The vicinity is a perfect spot for pictures - yes flood your IG page. LoL. But it is quite romantical. Hope you're wearing trail shoes (or footwear with really good treading) when you visit, the streets are slippery. I think folks get a kick out of seeing people slip and fall on their butts when walking around this area.

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.

Highly recommend stopping in or taking your order to go!
