    What a neat coffee shop hidden a basement in Alfama. I stopped by for a quick pickup during morning errands and it did not disappoint. The decor is very trendy right down to the slate used as serving dishes. It was quite busy but service was efficient and friendly where I was able to grab a raspberry bun and OJ quickly. The bun was incredibly moist and made with real raspberry. I found it verged on being too sweet for my tastes but it's a pastry so kind of expected.

    We wound up going to Copenhagen coffee lab multiple times. Every time was spectacular! The food is good. If you don't see anything in the case not be that they also have a kitchen and make a very good omelette. Their savory pastries are also worth it and their cinnamon rolls can't be beat. Some more popular locations may be short on seating but we were always able to find something. Service is also very good and about as fast as a Starbucks (for drinks and pastries) in the US, which also impressed us.

    This is the most beautiful coffee shop/ restaurant I have ever seen. Walk down the stairs into another world. The coffee was great and they also offered oat milk. The sandwiches were on good bread. The tomato focaccia was fresh and tasty. The pastries were good too. My party of four went there more than once. The staff was friendly. Menus in Portuguese and English.

    Overnight oats and flat white.

    The coffee was decent, but the overnight oats were lacking. I cannot speak to any of the other items. The staff were warm. Overall, it was a good spot for a quick pick-me-up.

    Iced matcha latte and cortado
    Lilly P.

    The ambiance of this location was unmatched! The cinnamon buns were literally so soft and melted in our mouths. The matcha latte was the best matcha I've tried and I drink a lot of coffee. They have actual iced drinks here which is rare to find in Europe. With a few locations around Lisbon, you can grab yourself an iced drink if that's what you're used to. There's an outdoor patio with natural lighting and cool seating. It's such a vibe.

    Chicken bacon bun

    It was super busy and hot but the customer service was the best I've had on my trip!! The food was great and refreshing and just what I needed !!

    On the waterfront of the Laguna as it is called. Charming place to walk and lunch. The ham and cheese croissant and my latte were excellent. Nice little place to have a snack, lunch or breakfast. Both indoor and outdoor seating.

    Next door to our hotel another awesome spot here in Lisbon. The cinnamon Krengle is a roll made with croissant dough Yum! I mean really just look at my mocha.

    I am so impressed by this coffee shop! The location itself is so beautiful inside and out. The prices were very affordable! The food looked delicious and was well-priced, but we just got coffee this time. They have oat milk for all you non-dairy people out there! Also the hours listed on the website are wrong. I'm not sure of their exact hours, but they are shorter than listed.

    Super fresh. Some of the best bread and pastries I've ever tasted. The scrambled eggs, green juice and oat milk latte also didn't disappoint. A little bit of a wait and it's warm because everything is baked on sight. But tasty meals are almost always worth the wait. The wait staff were also super patient and kind. So nice we visited twice during our trip to Lisbon.

    Cardamom bun
    Karri S.

    Wonderful selection of savory & sweet pastries baked on site. The coffee was good and the ambience is excellent. We went early and it wasn't too busy. Looks like it would be a good place to get some work done too. Staff is friendly. We'll be back!

This means I can now say who made them best, and more importantly, why. The interesting thing is, I didn't think the pastel de nata here were particularly great, on any dimension - fairly flimsy, doughy crust, with a pudding-like, drippy filling that was too sweet and not quite eggy enough. Don't get me wrong, I'd still eat them any time someone offered, they were still tasty, you just have a ton of options nearby, some of them notably better than the ones here. I also tried one of their fancy-looking cookies, which definitely looked fancier than it tasted. Was just a cookie. Dessert-wise I was unimpressed. They were also always fairly busy, which made ordering feel a bit rushed. So why am I still giving this bakery 5 stars, and why did I come back here a couple more times, including to get food to-go the morning we left, to get food to take on the plane with us? For exactly one reason, and it's a weird one: oddly enough, the samosas here are the best samosas I've ever had, and by a wide margin. You'd think the best samosas ever would come from an Indian restaurant or bakery, but nope, they're here. The other small savory food items we tried were also pretty good, but the samosas are the juiciest, meatiest, most perfectly bursting with spices samosas I've had. Who knew? They also had pretty solid espresso and pretty solid free-squeezed orange juice, but those aren't hard to find in Portugal (I miss seeing inexpensive fresh squeezed OJ all over the city... especially *truly* fresh squeezed, to order, from whole oranges. Portuguese OJ definitely was the best. Though obviously not *better* than other places you can get the same thing around - probably indeed the same oranges. Definitely better than anywhere you can get fresh OJ for a few bucks in the US, though, if you can find such a place. :p)

    The perfect rest stop in between exploring. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which…read moremade the experience even sweeter. I tried the African coconut cake and the lemon éclair--both were delicious, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. A must-stop spot if you're craving great pastries and warm service.

What makes it special is watching the pastries being handmade right in front of you, which adds a level of freshness and craftsmanship that you can actually taste. The service was super fast and friendly. The pastel de nata came out perfectly, with that delicate flaky crust and warm custard that just hits differently when you know it was made moments ago. The espresso was equally impressive, rich and smooth, and the two together make for a simple but near perfect combination.

The crust was super flaky and the tart was nice and warm out of the oven, but I didn't like the flavor of the custard. I did forget to add cinnamon to the top, but I don't think it would have helped me personally. The woman who stood next to me at the counter had a nearly orgasmic experience next to me, so it's obvious that my taste buds are apparently off. I loved the patience of the server, who got confused when I told her I wanted to eat in but wanted to take water to go. Note to self...Portuguese folks want to have their "to go" as "takeaway." What I also didn't know was that there was no place to sit!! I scooted down the counter just like all the other folks to watch the bakers prep the next gozillion pastries for the day. That was interesting. Then, I didn't know how to bus my dishes. I just left them on the counter like all the other folks and went away. I wouldn't skip going because of my personal taste buds, though. Enjoy it for yourself and let me know if you have a different opinion than I did!

    Fábrica da Nata focuses on doing one thing extremely well: Portuguese custard tarts…read more The pastéis de nata are served fresh and warm, with the signature caramelized top that gives way to a smooth, creamy custard center. The custard strikes a great balance -- rich and eggy but not overly sweet. The pastry shell is where these really shine: thin layers of laminated dough baked until they're deeply golden and crisp. The result is that perfect textural contrast: crackly pastry on the outside and silky custard inside. Like most Portuguese pastry shops, the setup is straightforward. You order at the counter, the service is quick, and the focus is on getting the tarts to you while they're still warm from the oven. Cinnamon and powdered sugar are available to sprinkle on top, which adds a nice extra layer of flavour. Lisbon has many places competing for the title of best pastel de nata, but Fábrica da Nata holds its own. The quality is consistent, the tarts are fresh, and it's an easy stop whether you're looking for a quick snack or a traditional Portuguese pastry with coffee.

Service was quick and both packed together in a paper sack. They were nice and warm. We had to remove them to add our cinnamon and powdered sugar in the store so that was one of the drawbacks of ordering to go. Luckily our hotel was just minutes away and the natas were still warm when we got back. Overall our mouths enjoyed the flaky, crunchy crust and creamy texture of the egg tart but it seemed bit too soft this time. Still in our top 3 places to grab pasteis de nata in Portugal.
