I have no idea how this place can get anything but a perfect grade - this is by far the best pastry we found in the whole of Portugal, much less in Lisbon alone.
My partner and I found it on our second day in Lisbon, as it was one of the closest bakeries to the hotel we were staying at and we liked it so much we kept returning there every single day after all.
First of all - the staff. While not super fluent in English, they were extremely friendly and helpful and served us as fast as they could, even as they were swamped with locals stopping here for a pastry and a coffee on their way to work.
By far best pastel de Nata we tried in Portugal on our trip, but surprisingly not the best pastry we tried there. That honor goes to the egg yolk and almond-based round pastry, although the cheese fluffballs were giving them the run for their money in the salty department.
The coffee was pretty amazing as well - and perhaps the reason this place is always bustling with activity in the morning, although we always managed to find a spot to sit on their terrace.
Overall, a great location, and is absolutely worth a detour! read more
