The availability of some tables outside adds a nice touch (7/10) 9/10 ”
“ We came here not the first time! Staff is super friendly. There are about 5 tables inside and 2 outside i guess. Decent variety of Portuguese sweet and salty deserts. Coffee!!! Wonderfull coffee!!! Espresso, cortado for me is an indicator of the quality! The taste is not too sour and not bitter. Well-balanced. ”
“ The Pasteis de Nata are simply spectacular! Top tier level! Scrumptious! Caldo verde is great too.... Lovely vibe and great service from the Portuguese staff.... Highly recommend!! ”
“ Lovely Portuguese coffee and pastries. We particularly enjoyed the ‘pastel de nata’ and the cod pie. The latter was simply out of this world. We will surely return time and time again. Service is very friendly but on the slow side, as there are not enough staff to look after more than 3-4 customers at a time. ”
“ We entered by chance since it started to rain a lot in Barcelona and we just found this bakery. A quiet place to have breakfast, from pastries to full breakfasts. Good prices and great waiters, especially Susana the girl who served us, she is very nice and attentive. 100% recommended for breakfast/lunch or meals. Next visit to Barcelona we will return for sure ”
