Their…read moremenu has a lot of options for people and they have A LOT of desserts and regional ones as well. The service is fast and you have to pay inside after you ask for your bill. 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!!

We ordered the "Algarvian Cataplana," which had a lot of seafood and some very good pork. It was fantastic! To start, my wife had a sangria. The waiter recommended the rosé one, which was a surprise. He brought the sangria in a small pitcher and put the final touches (mixing in some mint) at the table, then poured her glass. We've had sangria all over Spain and Portugal, and this may be the best I've ever tasted (yes, she let me taste). The service was friendly, the pace relaxed, and the energy great. This is well worth finding.
