If I could eat only one chocolate cake for the rest of life, this would be it! Decided to stop by to get some coffee and take a break from all the walking. Just as I was about to go to the counter to order my son points to the menu...get a slice of their chocolate cake, it says that it is what they are known for. No words when I took that first heavenly bite. How can it be this good!? It is light with a mousse texture that just melts in your mouth. It's not overly sweet and you can just tastes the high quality dark chocolate. I regret not getting a second slice. On their website it says that their chocolate cake is legendary and is one of the top contenders to be the best in the world. I AGREE! I believe this is the original location. read more

If you like chocolate, you have to try the chocolate cake here! There's even a sign that says so ;) The chocolate cake slice tasted delicious, a little bit like a mousse. Had to get another slice because it was so good. I will note that the cake is very filling and rich, so don't get it if you prefer something lighter. read more

Cute little café at LX Factory. Stopped in on a Saturday at 11:30. I ordered an iced latte and it did its job. I'm not sure if it's just this café, or if it's a Lisbon thing but if you want the coffee to go, they charge you for a cup. Since we weren't in a rush, we ended up just sitting down to enjoy the coffee. There's plenty of seating inside and it was empty for a late Saturday morning. read more

There are a huge variety of beverage options, mostly caffeine based but also juice, water, and milk but just one food item-- the chocolate cake. That's how you know it'll be good. They don't waste effort on anything else but perfecting the cake. It's a layer of cake on the bottom and rich yet light chocolate frosting on top then dusted with a thick layer of chocolate powder. The cafe itself is beautifully decorated with ample indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is conveniently on the table itself. read more

Is it World's Best Chocolate Cake? It's really good. I'm glad that we got to try it. Located at Lx Factory. It's a great coffee shop. I almost forgot about this place abd cake but glad we were doing happy hour across the cafe and wanting dessert. The cake is blissful. Not to sweet. Wish I bought an extra slice since my friends took turns taking a bite from my slice. If you are in Lisbon, make sure to at least try it. read more

While exploring the LX Factory in Lisbon, Portugal (which is a hip shopping area filled with stores, restaurants and art galleries), we wandered into this adorable coffee shop-- what a gem! Landeau offers the typical drinks for all your espresso needs but they only serve ONE food item, just ONE type of chocolate cake. That's it. Being chocolate lovers, we had to try it and... it was just blissful. The cake was so decadent, light and intensely chocolate. We took tinier and tinier bites as we ate because we didn't want to finish the piece. Definitely one of the best chocolate cakes I've tasted. And on top of that, the sleepy ambience with fans twirling on the ceiling with soothing music in the background made it feel like time was standing still.... Such a lovely place. read more

You think, why is the menu only showing cake plus drinks. My partner said it best, "when you do something great, just do that!" The cake is extremely delicious and I had a love/hate relationship with sharing it. It's decadent, it's rich, it's creamy, the mousse on top is so fluffy. I paired it with the hot chocolate (cause you can never have too much chocolate!) with milk (helped cut the sweetness/richness) and I was in Heaven. My partner and I loved both and it was an awesome treat after walking the area. read more

After reading an article about the world's best chocolate cake in Lisbon from Food and Wine, I was convinced that I had to try it. I made an objective to come here to grab a slice and it was totally worth the stop. Located just inside of the LX factory, this cozy little shop also offers coffee, hot chocolate, tea etc. in addition to their specialty cake. Though some might think that they are quite expensive but I can assure you that they are worth every penny. Here are my reasons of why I love Landeau's infamous cake: 1. It's rich in chocolate 2. It's velvety smooth 3. It's light and airy 4. It's semi bittersweet 5. It's all around decadent Honestly, because the cake was so luscious, I think I may have fallen in love after that first bite! I ended up ordering another slice for take out and I did not regret. Anyone who loves chocolate will find it utterly addicting! read more

Best chocolate cake I have every eaten!!!! I savor every last bite and then lick the coco powder off my fork. The cake is moist and the chocolate is perfect, such rich coco taste. Sweet but a little bitter from the coco powder that is perfection. If your in the area you need to go. The decor and aesthetic of the place is beautiful. A cup of coffee or a cup of milk goes great with the cake. Don't share this, get your own, it so worth it. I only wish they had a franchise in New York. read more

Is this the best chocolate cake in the world? It depends on your preferences. For me, it wasn't. I like to have chocolate bits and more texture in my cakes. The ganache chocolate cake was too soft and uniform throughout with little variety, and didn't really stand out. Personally, it was not my cup of tea. read more

Delicious chocolate cake!!! Husband & I are visiting Lisbon from Brooklyn. Popped in at 10:30pm (they close at 11) for their chocolate cake, which we'd read about somewhere. "That's all we have." And rightly so! Do one thing and do it well. Gentleman working yesterday evening was very kind and welcoming, to us, and to the folks who showed up after us. We were immediately at ease, which I haven't felt much in cafes here in Lisbon. Thank you! Wish it had been 10:30am, so we could have lingered longer at the big table, looking at magazines and listening to their good music. The cafe is located within LX Factory, which I recommend exploring. read more

That is exactly the "good" problem Landeau has as besides their famous chocolate cake, all they have are beverages, inadvertently making their sign outside with the proclamation "When in doubt, try chocolate cake!" kind of hilarious. Once you've huffed and puffed your way up one of Lisbon's stairmaster hills, the darkened and vintage feeling interior of this particular Landeau feels very welcome. Although there is ample seating for the size of this store, the ample line of people waiting to get in from the outside might make getting a seat difficult nonetheless. I do like the regular lattes here but let's face it, any beverage you get here is really meant to be a sidekick to the main star of the show, Landeau's famous chocolate cake. And it is indeed, the best slice of chocolate cake you'll ever have, and that is not hyperbole. Layered and textured, but pillowy and light, it's really difficult to describe what a beautiful heavenly experience eating a chocolate cake at Landeau is. It's like treating your mouth to the most sumptuous and comforting experience it's ever going to have when eating something and you never want to end. And for under 5 euros, it almost feels like a steal. I really do consider going to a Landeau one of the highlights of my trip to Lisbon and urge everyone to put it on their must eats here. Even yes, over the egg tarts.

Based on the items I ordered, everything was just passable. Maybe I'm not really appreciating the difference in textures between similar pastries in different countries, but even compared to several other bakeries and cafes in Lisbon, this was my least favorite. (Overall outside of pasteis de nata, I found pastries and baked goods in Portugal to be a bit drier, breadier, and sweeter than some other countries.) The chocolate croissant I ordered used melted chocolate sprinkles on top and inside, and the bread was laminated on the outside but kinda dense and dry on the inside, no airy pockets, just bready. The palmier tasted a bit stale, like when a crispy cookie has been sitting out and softened. The croquettes were average. The espresso was pretty normal. I sat outside since it was a nice day, they had a number of tables and patrons dining outside. They seemed to be understaffed bc it took a while for the server to come out and take my order, though the food came pretty quickly once ordered. Inside it's a very old-school feel, very ornate with many mirrors and liquor shelves along the wall. Not sure about prices now though will say in 2022 they were very reasonable.
