I guess after the lunch rush, a bunch of places shutdown until dinner time, so I was sorta SOL. Since LXeesecake was on my list anyway, I decided to have a late lunch here as they do serve light meals in addition to cheesecake. It was 8EU for a salad + a non-alkie drink + half a slice of cheesecake + coffee/tea. Food took some time to arrive, but hey, I wasn't in a rush. Presentation was nice. Salads were delicious and sufficient in size. And between the Tiramisu & Lemon Cheesecake, I thought the Lemon was better! Cheesecake was light and creamy in texture, very good. If you're at the LX Factory, check this place out! They share a space with an Optical store.

We had, guess what, cheese cake! It had fresh wild berries (not the frozen ones) as topping and it…read morewas delicious - very heavy, of course, but that's always the case with cheese cake ;-) Coffee was good, too, so if you enjoy good cake: come by!

Large enough to share, but small enough that you don't feel guilty indulging. The cake itself is three layers of perfection - a chocolate cake base, chocolate mousse middle, and a dusting of cocoa powder on top.

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!

And just like your grandmother's kitchen, you'll be welcomed with the smells of something fresh from the oven just as soon as you open the door. The owner takes obvious pride in setting a table creating a warm environment for a leisurely breakfast, lunch, or even a quick snack. In a 10-day stay, surrounded by lovely restaurants, bakeries and pastry shops, a friend, my spouse and I managed to eat here 3 times. You won't be disappointed with any selection of cakes, brownies, or pies and the lunch menu seemed to fit our tastes exactly; especially the to-die-for golden, flakey crust of a vegetable prawn pie. Heaven? Yes, I think so. Oh, and even their coffee has a special presentation: enjoy your small shortbread butter cookie with every cup.

They were seriously so good! And it sort of made my first bite more of a whole experience. Yes, the line here can be a bit long. But again, I think in a way it sort of added to the fun/overall experience of it. Considering the popularity, I don't think the wait was too terrible. Would I come here every day or every time I wanted pastel de nata? No. There are countless other spots that are amazing too! But I feel like this one was worth it once! The nata came out nice and warm, with a creamy flavor, a fluffy but firm texture, and a caramelized sweetness with bit with that hint of eggy savory-sweetness, too. The crust was flakey. I decided to eat inside and I also feel happy with that choice. The decor was cute and very "Lisbon"- lots of blues and whites. I also ordered a latte which was nice and had whipped cream with cinnamon, which paired really nicely with the nata actually.

This is the birthplace of the delicacy Portuguese custard tart (pasteis de nata). While you can…read morefind find these tarts all over Portugal, this is a must try when you visit The exterior is slightly modest, but is also absolutely gorgeous. It's well-lit, and something about it beacons you over. Maybe it's the line stretched out the door. The interior has beautiful blue and white tiles. The staff are all busy preparing tarts, helping customers, etc. I don't know why, but it feels like a shop right out of Harry Potter with the colors and almost antique beauty. The staff are dressed in dapper uniforms. Each person has an air of serious, yet charming, and sophisticated. For a place that pretty much has the same routine all day and services thousands of Hungary and demanding tourists, the staff were friendly enough, and very efficient The packaging was gorgeous. Again, it reminded me of a delicacy or to-go parcel you might get in the wizarding world. The tarts were delicious. I tried several egg/custard tarts in Portugal, and this is one of the best. While at least one of location in Sintra has my #1 pasteis de nata, this one is probably a close second You can order a variety of sizes/amounts, and the carry fairly well. There are also other treats like cakes, hot chocolate, etc Some tips: They have cinnamon and sugar you can put on top of your tart if you want to add to the flavor You B don't have to takeaway, and in fact it might be quicker service if you walk past the initial line and counter and head into the restaurant where you might be able to snag a table and eat your tarts on site Located near a couple incredible Lisbon landmarks you will want plenty of time to stroll around Belém and see the sites. It's a vibe, and a must do in Lisbon Cheers!!
