“ One of the best in flavor and variety pastry, bakery, food you can find in Porto. Extremely nice and helpful staff. You must go and try at the place or as take away ”
“ Looks more sophisticated than normal place like this in Porto. I think because of chairs’ style. Very nice area with trees around and glass protection from wind. Stuff is good. Quality is good. But price can be less, it’s not the centre and not fancy spot. Toilet was a bit good surprise though. ”
“ One of the best bakery (padaria) places in Porto. Great pastry, a lot of bread and Pasteis de nata :) The most friendly and helpful service, understanding and fulfilling the customer's wishes - staying here is pure pleasure. ”
“ Everything has eggs No egg-free or vegan options. Really beautiful cafe with quality finishes, a comfortable outdoor seating area and a wide array of delectable pastries. Helpful staff member who communicated in Liverpudlian English. Unfortunately, they couldn't offer me a single item to eat that didn't contain eggs. Even the homemade ice-cream was not egg-free. I left disappointed but my waistline was grateful . ”
“ Absolutely delicious cakes. Very fresh and very good price. The servers were also very friendly ”
