The staff are nice and clear tables fast as people leave. Along with chocolate cake, there is also coffee which pairs perfectly with the sweet dessert. The cake itself is perfect. Not too sweet, not too dark. And texture is cake with mousse and not too dense. It's enjoyable and I wish I could bring a whole cake home. Must just try in Lisbon!

Continuing my slow progress through the jillion places I stopped at in Portugal on our trip there,…read morenow around 3 months ago, among which, in particular, I had a sub-goal of trying *as* many different pastel de nata as I could, so I could say which was my favorite and why. Which, as it turns out, I can't - this one would be in a 3-4 way tie for 1st, with other, equally perfect places to get one. Funny enough, they do sell a decent number of other pastries that are pretty fancy looking, and have price tags to match (higher than other bakeries in town, or at least the ones I went to.) But I wasn't here for those, and if you're smart, you won't be either. Their pastel de nata are, or at least were as of ~3 months ago, 1.50 euro, which is very reasonable, especially for how good they are. Perfect crust, crunchy but not crumbly or dry, perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, eggy custard that stays intact after biting into it instead of falling out like pudding... and the perfect, marshmallow-y crème brulee torched finish. Great cortado, too, and very reasonably priced. It was fairly busy, but there was also a decent amount of space to stand and drink a cortado inside without feeling cramped (which was good, since at that specific time I was here, right when I got inside, it started pouring rain.) Would definitely be on the list to come back to if I were back in Lisbon.

I wanted to give some local teas as a gift. After researching, this place showed up. After walking about 20 minutes up and down steep uphill and downhill from where I was.. I was there finally. I had a high expectations. There was no greeting when I walked in. There are no sample teas at the counter that you can smell. There are in the huge tins and I don't know if I can open and start smelling them. Those tins are behind the package teas. So I don't know if they are ok with customers start opening the teas to smell it. As far as I know there are no sample teas to taste either. I did noticed at least an older man was available when I was at the other side of the store but he didn't seems like I could ask for assistance or wanted to help me pick some teas. I came back to the other side and I asked for help to this woman who seems like maybe available to help if she can recommend anything that is local. Her response was that will be long answer and I got customer. Okkk. There are definitely staffs available. She might have signal another man behind the counter standing near her. He came to see what I wanted.What annoyed me is after he opened the tins for me to smell the teas, I set aside the one that I wanted to buy just based on the smell. As soon as I did that, he started putting back those package teas back again. Don't be paranoid! If the customer take the selective package teas from the counter and set them aside again right next to the counter that means, they wanted to make a purchase. If they don't then you can easily put it back. I am not sure what is his issues was. I got better customer service from the random pharmacy store out in Zurich that happens to have unique blend of teas in the store. After I finally picked out some teas, I lined up behind the customer at the front paying. It seems like there was only one register but there was another register behind some wooden frame and it is hard to tell. The man that helped me didn't say anything to me and after awhile he finally said I was waiting for you. I am not standing behind the customer at the front back staring at it for no reason. If you want to ring my order up, you could have easily tell me. I can't read your mind. The tea prices aren't cheap either. Small package is 5 euro and the mid sizes are about 7.50 depend on the blend. I wanted to ask if they sell coffee but I figured I rather take my money to somewhere that treat customer better. They do know how to speak English but I think you would get treated better if you speak Portuguese.

We got the hyped up chocolate cake, heralded by the NY Times, in their piece, "The Chocolate Cake…read moreThat Saved My Vacation" and dubbed one of the best in the world. With a spare day in Lisbon, we headed to LX Factory for a ride on the tram and a look around at the art and the vibe. I researched whether there was anything unique, or considered a must-try to eat or drink there, and lo and behold, it was the cake. We ate a few blocks away, but before leaving the area, we returned for dessert to try this cake. The cool coffee shop was very airy and green, with lots of seating, both indoors and out. It wasn't busy when we were there, so I ordered a slice to share with my two littles, who devoured it! I guess I should have ordered two! It was light and airy, with a smooth, rich brownie bottom layer. The cake was flavorful and light, in the best way. I could have lingered longer here with a coffee as well, but with two antsy littles in tow, I wouldn't have enjoyed my coffee much, but the cake hit the spot. If you find yourself at LX Factory, definitely get the cake! I don't really have a sweet tooth, nor love desserts that much, but this cake was great and not too sweet. It's not worth a special trip for, but definitely don't skip if you're at LX Factory and craving a sweet treat. I don't think it's the best in the world, but yeah, it's good!
