Queijadas are sold throughout the island. The first time I had them, I didn't buy it directly from…read morethe factory so I'm not sure how long they've been sitting out (they are supposedly good for 20 days). I thought they were just ok. However, my friend and I happened to pass by the factory when we were on our way to another destination, so we decided to stop in to see the factory. The factory itself isn't that big (takes about a few seconds to see the whole thing). Because we saw the ladies wrapping the freshly made queijadas, we decided to order some coffee and try the queijadas there. The difference in the texture and taste of the freshly made queijadas vs the one I bought at the cafe (also from this factory) was HUGE! The freshly made one tasted delicious! Highly recommend coming here to try this Portuguese pastry with some coffee! You won't regret it!

These little dense egg yolk cakes are a yummy sweet breakfast and a specialty of the island that all visitors need to try. The queijadas were delicious and we came back another day for more and to buy a box to bring home (sold in souvenir boxes of 6 or 12). This place may be cash only, not completely sure. When we were there at 9am when they first opened we were able to watch the staff wrapping all the individual queijadas. There was also a big bus of tourists that was dropped off right at 9am and they flooded in the small place to all buy pastries, so keep that in mind when planning your stop here - not sure if this is something that happens every morning. You order everything at the counter and there are a few tables inside and some tables out on the patio as well. When I went back it was around 2 pm and there were only a few other people there.

I mean it has a name that translates delicious paradise and it serves up cakes and pastries with…read moredarn good coffee. If this ain't good enough, it's in Madeira and on the right side of the island for a near tropical micro climate - apparently it's a whole different climate on the other side of the island. It's biggest difficulty is that it's surrounded by lots of similar places also serving up delicious cakes and pastries and darn good coffee. So what, you ask - what's your point. Well it's genuine competition between bakeries in quality and price that gluttons like me benefit from (only our waistlines may suffer) as we have a choice of great quality sweet stuff with really good prices I mean Italy it isn't - no evidence of spiv activity you find endemic there in bars, cafes and restaurants. And it's clear to see that those friendly, polite Madeirenses not only have an ever present sweet tooth but they like a bargain.

Service wasn't exactly 5-star worthy, but the line moved efficiently and the guy answered my questions. The total approximate price that I recall was 3,60€ for 4 pastries (a great deal!) paid in cash but I saw other customers before me paying by credit card. I visited this place after it was highly praised for its pastries (esp the canelas and pico de chocolate) by the local and native tour guide. My friend enjoyed the 2 mentioned above, but I decided to go with the 2 chantilly pastries available. Locating the bakery was not easy at night as I was in the quiet area alone around 9:45pm and there was no sign advertising the business. The bakery was very dimly lit as if off and windows were textured so it was impossible to see beyond. The only confirmation it was the bakery was the homeless guy across the street noticing my confusion and informing that it opens at 10pm. I came back shortly after since it was recommended and my last night in the island. Proof that the bakery was a local mainstay showed people were serviced right after their 10pm opening ordering several goods and a few already lined up to order. I left the bakery with the bags tied tightly so there was no way the pest got in until I was ready to eat. As the photos show, the insect seemed intact but it looks dry and not so much freshly smushed. Thank goodness I waited until I was at the hotel in bright lighting to see this instead of eating in the dark night walking back to my hotel. Who knows how much of a wing or leg I ate before noticing the body!! I would go back to complain but it was too late and I was on my way to Terceira. I guess the only comfort is knowing insects are a delicacy in certain parts of the world and no one died from eating it, let alone a speck that might have been eaten by me. It's just so gross and embarrassing knowing I almost finished the pastry before seeing what you see in the picture and I'm not one to have an adventurous palette.

We were initially reluctant to get breakfast here because the prices seemed inflated (~ American…read moreprices starting at around 15-18 € per dish) but at 10am, it was one of the few places in town open for brunch and their beautiful pastries caught my eye. We ordered the prosciutto sandwich and roasted vegetable omelette with goat cheese, both of which were incredibly fresh tasting and bursting with flavor. While both items were fantastic, what stood out to me was the delicious bread which was pillowy soft, chewy and was the perfect vehicle to soak up the farm fresh egg yolks on the sandwich and to pair with the goat cheese and herbal elements of the omelette. We also got a glass of orange, carrot and ginger juice which was freshly whipped up with the Zumex-style citrus juicer located inside the shop. To finish off our hearty breakfast, I got an almond and ginger tart to go that was simply amazing! The crust had just the right amount of crunch and the almond slices paired beautifully with the subtle ginger notes of the pastry~ 5/5 yumminess Both outdoor and indoor seating is available, but we opted for the latter to avoid the cigarette smoke from passersby plus you get the added bonus of watching their chef cook through the big glass window to their kitchen! The owner is an interesting chatty gentleman with very strong political views (the shop is decked out in Bitcoin propaganda) and he told us they maintain a strictly 2-person operation to ensure that the food is prepared up to their meticulous standards. Overall despite the higher-than-average prices, you cant go wrong with INTZ48 for a deliciously satisfying and filling brunch with very high quality and farm-to-fork ingredients. Sao Miguel is known worldwide for its fantastic bread and cheese and this is a great place to sample those together!
