    Perfect place to have breakfast! I was visiting Lisbon for work and staying at the doubletree close…read moreby. My boss loves pastel de nata and we were on a mission to eat them every chance we had. He found this little cafe and we walked on over. This place is classic, beautiful chandeliers in the ceiling, mirrors on the walls, gold trimmings. You can either order and eat at the counter or you can get a table. We opted for a table which was great because we were able to look at the menu in English. There is a case full of all different kinds of pastries as well. We ended up getting two different kinds of breads and a pastel de nata and two Americanos. The pan de deus was my favorite with the sugar on top. The bread was airy and fluffy and delicious when dipped into the coffee. Service was fast and the place was clean.

    So this is a delayed review--going thru my drafts and trying to write the ones I missed a while…read moreback! Came in April 2022 for a light morning snack based on seeing good reviews. Based on the items I ordered, everything was just passable. Maybe I'm not really appreciating the difference in textures between similar pastries in different countries, but even compared to several other bakeries and cafes in Lisbon, this was my least favorite. (Overall outside of pasteis de nata, I found pastries and baked goods in Portugal to be a bit drier, breadier, and sweeter than some other countries.) The chocolate croissant I ordered used melted chocolate sprinkles on top and inside, and the bread was laminated on the outside but kinda dense and dry on the inside, no airy pockets, just bready. The palmier tasted a bit stale, like when a crispy cookie has been sitting out and softened. The croquettes were average. The espresso was pretty normal. I sat outside since it was a nice day, they had a number of tables and patrons dining outside. They seemed to be understaffed bc it took a while for the server to come out and take my order, though the food came pretty quickly once ordered. Inside it's a very old-school feel, very ornate with many mirrors and liquor shelves along the wall. Not sure about prices now though will say in 2022 they were very reasonable.

    I caveat that the owner was generally nice and responsive from the get-go, and from their website…read moreand social media, I can see that there is a lot of heart that goes into their cakes. I also understand that there can be pressures being a small business owner and having to deal with something like an international transaction, and the trust factor that goes into ensuring you get paid. So, that's why this is two stars versus just one. That being said, I arranged a cake order for my visit to Lisbon a few weeks back, and today, she recanted on the order. There was some back and forth because FX fees hit the payment transfer. I made a suggestion that she should bake in some contingent room for FX fees because I didn't like the fact that she continually asked me to check with my bank because it "was not their fault". I wasn't even going to argue the FX fees anymore, and agreed to pay them on ground (she had agreed to let me pay the balance in person as they normally want everything upfront), but I wanted to provide her with the feedback because I didn't feel good in my position as a client/customer to have to be told repeatedly to go check with my bank, because it was not something on their end. So, even though the fees are just a by-product of this type of transaction, I just didn't feel good with the communication and general language. And, neither did she with my feedback obviously since she refused the order. So, I think that if you are not within the Lisbon area, I would advise making the order on ground, or just finding someone else. If a small business doesn't want you as a client, that says something already about them. And now, I am down a bunch of FX fees and with no cake, which is frustrating for someone who is travelling and trying to plan a surprise.
