They are quick to get your order if you eat outside or are getting pastries to go inside. The space is nice and the outdoor seating area is the better option. I would recommend one of the regional pastries such as fruta de Algarve, which are similar to soft marzipan with a thick egg yolk and sugar mixture in the middle. It's not like marzipan in the States and a lot softer and has a better texture and flavor. The other would be the Dom Rodrigo, which comes in a little colorful foil packet. It's an egg yolk and sugar mixture that is in thin strings layered on top of each other and swimming in a simple syrup. It might be too sweet for some.

There are two cues, one to order for takeout and a second to eat either inside or outside. We loved their pastries and service was amazing!! The servers were quick and my favorite has been Pedro who took the time to explain things to us. Looks like plenty of locals come here as you can see many families showing up, especially for take out pastries. A definite stop by if you are in the area and want to start your day right!!

The service was excellent throughout, attentive without being intrusive, which matched the overall laid back atmosphere perfectly. The space itself has a lot of personality, with beautiful art on the walls and an array of products on display that would make for great souvenirs or gifts. We ordered an espresso, cappuccino, a pink panther strawberry smoothie and a freshly squeezed orange juice, all of which hit the spot. On the food side, the breakfast burrito and the earth delight, a lovely combination of yogurt, granola, fruit, honey, croissant and jams, were both fantastic. The staff even brought out an award winning hot sauce to go alongside the burrito, a small but memorable touch. The crowd added to the charm too. A guy quietly working on his laptop with his dog nearby pretty much sums up the energy of this place. Calm, unpretentious and enjoyable. A great spot to ease into the day.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We are a family of 5 - 3 adults and 2 kids under 10, and the staff was super attentive and friendly. They did a great job communicating with us considering we all spoke English. It was a treat that the menu came in Portuguese, French and English It is a beautiful shop, and in addition to the food looking like a work of art - it tasted delicious! Everything was super fresh and uncomplicated/unprocessed. For breakfast we tried some spiked coffee and fresh juices. The adults ordered Eggs Benedict with parma ham or smoked salmon. The kids got a "make your own breakfast" of yogurt with granola and fresh fruit, and a croissant with a chocolate spread. We also got pastries to go for dessert later; a beetroot cream filled roll, fruit and custard pastry, lemon bar, cookie, and the lightest whipped cheesecake I've ever tasted. The only downside to the whole experience is that they are closed on Tuesdays (which really isn't a downside, people do deserve a day off)

The base was thin, crisp, flavourful and cooked all the way through, and the toppings we chose were packed full of vegetarian deliciousnes!

I only had one meal in Vilamoura that was as good as this, and that was at it's sister business just behind the Marina. Highly recommended for lunch or pastries.

The female owner made flippant comments throughout the meal that were off putting, yet I ignored them thinking they were a part of her entertaining routine. My favorite was when I asked for ground pepper to put on the Peri Peri chicken and received the most classic response, "We've never had THAT request for OUR Peri Peri." However when I asked if she could take my credit cards, she loudly and dramatically shouted, '"I don't know!" I thought to my self that it was strange that she didn't know as she has owned the restaurant for 6 years and the restaurant sits in the middle of a tourist zone. When neither one of my credit cards worked on her machine and I suggested it was her machine and not my cards, she threatened me loudly and said that her husband could drive me to an ATM! Little did she know that I didn't have an ATM card and we would have been at a standstill if I hadn't had enough cash to cover the bill. I laughed the whole way home, wondering what wound have happened without my cash! Who would have been at fault? The American woman with 2 working credit cards or the Belgium woman with a 'supposedly' broken credit card machine? She got her cash and I got my laughs! A perfectly entertaining evening in the Algarve. I'm sure the Portuguese don't eat here.
