They are quick to get your order if you eat outside or are getting pastries to go inside. The space is nice and the outdoor seating area is the better option.

An espresso was only 60 cents! They don't technically have mochas, but kindly improvised one for me (cappuccino + hot chocolate powder = delicious). My companion had a Portuguese custard tart (Pastel Nata) and he quite enjoyed it, though he said the custard was too sweet for his liking. Check it out - it's a great place to stop for a break while you're browsing the many shops in the area.

Great place and lovely food!read more
