Was in NYC for work and as luck would have it, they had a special that I couldn't resist! I have already missed their Ube and Black sesame flavors before which I am kind of beating myself about so I didn't want to miss my chance at their Coconut Pandan Pastéis de Natas and Soft serve! There is absolutely nothing basic about their natas or their soft serves! So many textures and flavors: most dominant were of course coconut, pandan kaya jam, fresh pineapples, and toasted coconut flakes! I also tried their Pistachio flavor but the Coconut Pandan was clearly better. My only qualm was that the natas were quite goey and runny - which hasn't been my experience with Portugese egg tarts elsewhere. As soon as I bit in one of them, it completely fell apart and the entire filling just fell out. I like them a just a little firm - enough to easily bite into while keeping the pastry structure intact, if that makes sense. Otherwise, amazing flavors all around. The mango coconut matcha drink was somehow extremely sour - unsure why and if it is supposed to be like that but I couldn't drink it at all.
Finally made my way to Lisbonata in Brooklyn, a spot I've been wanting to try for a while because I've been craving their pastel de natas! I was especially excited to check out their weekly limited-edition flavor: Earl Grey and also got their Pistachio Cream, Salted Caramel, Yuzu, and Belgian Chocolate flavors. The Earl Grey was delicate and fragrant, with a subtle tea flavor that came through nicely without being overpowering. The Pistachio Cream was creamy, nutty, and rich, with a really satisfying pistachio flavor. The Salted Caramel had that perfect sweet-and-salty balance. Rich and buttery with just enough salt to keep it from tasting overly sweet. The Yuzu was the bright and refreshing one of the bunch. Citrusy, slightly tart, and a nice contrast to the richer flavors. And the Belgian Chocolate had a light chocolatey taste and didn't overpower the entire pastry. We also tried the Salted Maple Latte . It was nice and had a cozy maple sweetness with a subtle salty finish, but wasn't anything too crazy or something I'd go back specifically for. It was a good pairing with the pastries, but the sweets were definitely the star of the show for me.
I had their pasteis de nata back when Lisbonata was at Smorgasburg, before they opened their brick-and-mortar store in Crown Heights. Now they keep dropping wild seasonal flavors like mango sticky rice, dubai chocolate, and ube cheesecake. But this limited-time black sesame menu felt like it was made for me!! ＊Black sesame pastel de nata $5.5 The figs add a burst of sweetness, while the burnt honey brings out the roasted, nutty black sesame with a toasty caramel note. The custard is literally overflowing! ＊Black sesame soft serve $12 Sweet, jammy figs are such a good match for the nutty black sesame flavored soft serve. I've never seen a black sesame + fig combo before and it worked surprisingly well. ＊Black sesame latte $8 They even have a black sesame latte with rich black sesame paste swirled in! It's more coffee-forward but you can still taste the black sesame.
This is tucked northeast of Brooklyn's Prospect Park! I ordered the Colorado out of their selection of Breakfast Burrittoes and really enjoyed the much needed protein after a run with friends. Their pastries are artful and the vibe is very appropriate for a peaceful morning. Their service is quick, and I'm told they started at the farmer's market at Prospect Park and now have their own location. Loved my experience this morning!
Yummm. I want more of these Portuguese egg tarts. Super crispy and thin outer crust and the flavors aren't too sweet (which is perfect). Be careful tho, when you bite into it, the cream does burst out a lil.
INSANEEE egg tarts omg, I had the weekly special flavor black sesame, and it was so good. The exterior is SO crispy, with a delicious creamy center. They have such creative flavors (and rotating weekly and monthly specials). I want to try their drinks and soft serve too! There is a bit of seating outside, but you order at a takeout window. The staff are kind.
Closed Mondays and Tuesday . Sign on the corner caught my attention and I walked into a short line. Ive heaed the lines can sometimes be very long. I saw egg tarts coming fresh out the oven ,it was a little before 4pm , I'll return to try them , they looked so glossy and smelled delicious. I had a hankering for ice cream . The menu listed 2 specials and one create your own with vanilla soft serve and a variety of toppings. I got the Match Blueberry pie soft serve . The matcha flavor was mild and didnt compete with the blueberry pie components, Very well balanced flavors without being overly sweet. Textural variances galore . I loved it. I only wished I wasn't rushing and had time to sit and really savor this treat . At least I now have a reason to return. Outdoor seating only. Tables and chairs outside . Staff was friendly . I like that they have a bit of everything- savory burritos, iced and hot drinks, matcha, lattes etc, pastel de nata and of course soft serve.
Came to try the soft serve specials. I got passionfruit cheesecake. It was freaking fantastic. I'll def b back to try the natas!
Service: 4.4/5 Food: 4.8/5 Price: $4.50-5.50 each Definitely a fair weather activity, considering it's literally a pick-up window with a few outdoor tables + a bench. The rest of their storefront consists of large windows looking into the kitchen, letting you watch the bakers make your treats. The short line + friendly staff made ordering a breeze! Clarifying point for all the Asians! These are pasteis de natas, meaning crispy, flaky pastry crusts + runny custard fillings. + in Lisbonata's case, the crust is slightly burnt, giving a charred flavor + the custard is literally flowing out of the pastry. They're not your typical Portuguese egg tarts! Additionally, they partner with another small business to sell burritos, which I didn't try because I already ate + they were sold out. Not sure if this is just a weekend thing. What I Ordered: - original: perfectly runny, not too sweet, could consume many - yuzu: really refreshing + unexpectedly good - pistachio cream: my taste buds did not catch any pistachio, but my friend was impressed; crushed topping adds a chewy texture - salted caramel: as a standalone, good balance, but if you're eating multiple, it becomes too sweet, extra runny sauce - belgian chocolate: perfect amount of chocolate - mango sticky rice: best incorporation of this flavor i've tried. custard takes a backseat, could use more mango
Lisbonata is a small to-go window, offering different flavors of pastis de nata, from raspberry to yuzu, salted caramel to Belgian chocolate. I tried the tart with pistachio filling. The base was flaky and layered, the filling oozing with custard. The textures were certainly accurate to the egg tarts originating in Lisbon. (And I can say that with certainty as someone who's been there myself!) The pistachio flavor came through strongly, and although that's the whole point of it, I found that the flavor wasn't for me, wishing, in the end, that I had stuck to the original instead. Nonetheless, that's more a matter of preference and doesn't speak to the quality of these well-executed tarts. I invite anyone within the area to try Lisbonata. It certainly took me back to my time in Portugal.
Seriously disappointed with my experience here after seeing other reviews. My friends and I were excited about the soft serve. We got the tiramisu and it is very pricey for a very simple cup of average vanilla soft serve with some toppings to make it look fancy but doesnt add much in flavor. Giving them 2 stars because supposedly the pastries are great but the ice cream is a major disappointment. Nice ambiance but long wait in line
Vibe/ambiance: small local but trendy Service: standard Items ordered: pastel de nata: had a pretty strong cinnamon flavor; very flakey
Love this spot! Ube cheesecake special was incredible. Also loved the yuzu flavor and passionfruit and ruby chocolate special. Original was also solid though I think Joey bats does a better one. Will be back for more special flavors!
One of my favorite Portuguese egg tarts I've ever had! Lisbonata specifically specializes in these egg tarts and they serve you through a window. They had different flavors and I chose their pistachio cream and salted caramel. It came in a pretty nice box as well! read more

Cute crown heights shop that's literally just a window in the wall. We stumbled across it on our walks and finally tried them. Though it's a little wetter of a consistency inside, they come warm, and the pastry is wonderfully flaky! We tried the original and yuzu. The original is king, the yuzu was good but wetter inside. The yuzu citrus taste goes fine with the custard, although sticking to the classic is preferred in my opinion. read more
We had a pastel de nata everyday when we were in Portugal. We have not found ones we liked in NYC. The Costco ones are ok. Thankfully Lisbonata appeared in my insta feed. We walked to the Fort Greene Market for the first time. They had a short line. By the time we got there at around 1pm they were already out of the salted caramel one. We got four for 15. The original was the best and it was soooooo good with a super crispy crust and a perfectly blended filling that wasn't too sweet. The filling was less set and more wet than the ones in Portugal but that didn't make it any less delicious. Can't wait for our walks to the market to get more in the near future! read more
Stopped by for an afternoon dessert. These pasteis de nata were delicious, flakey, and creamy. This place had some unique flavors. We got the original and the yuzu, but the yuzu was pretty burnt on top... but the layers in the crust were so good! Also got a yuzu matcha refresher, which was great on a hot day. read more
I'm so glad my daughter lives in Brooklyn so she can bring some home to CT when she visits. I finally got to Lisbonata on Thursday when we came to NYC and I bought a full assortment of flavors and everyone loved them .. warm little bundles of custard perfection layered in a delicate crispy crust. Even after 2 days when I had the last one, it was still sooo good, and we liked these better than ones we had in Portugal.... Thank you for sharing your talents and your passion for making such a perfect bite. (And I can't believe that there were any left at all after 2 days... they are THAT good!). Seriously! read more

delicious! The place does a cute little window service. My friends and I got a box of six with different flavors. We spilt them up and tried them all. All of them were amazing but we ranked them in this order 1 belgian chocolate, 2 raspberry, 3 yuzu, 4 original, 5 salted caramel and 6 pistachio cream. However, you cannot go wrong with any of them! read more
Visiting the farmers market in Fort Greene Park is a favorite weekend ritual. One of my favorite's is Lisbonata. They are located on Dekalb Ave directly across from South Portland Ave. The Paste'is de Nata are so delicious. The custard filling incredibly creamy and smooth and the crust is crispy and flakey. They simply melt in your mouth and leave me wanting more. My favorites are the traditional and the pistachio. The servers are helpful and even if the line is long it moves quickly. If you're at the farmers market, don't miss out! read more
This was my first time ever trying an egg tart and let me tell you, I'm hooked. Though it's walk-up window style storefront, they have some outdoor seating which is nice. Their branding and presentation is so cute and really lends itself to pictures and social media posts. We got the original flavor, pistachio, and chocolate which were all incredible. The chocolate flavor was not fully chocolate but had some chunks on top which ended up being a great balance. The standout for me was the pistachio flavor. I honestly do not usually gravitate towards that flavor but it really blew me away. I hope to go back soon and try every single other flavor ! read more

Super delish. Managed to add a bit of flare to typical Pasteis de Natas without compromising the original flavors of it. The chocolate and raspberry ones were my favorites read more

I thought these were really good. The salted caramel was definitely on the meatier side but I enjoyed the flavoring. The raspberry one isn't strong in fruit flavor but good none the less. My mom did feel like the ones we had were a bit too runny which I agree but I would still come back to taste other flavors read more
I always have great memories when I travel to Portugal especially Lisbon. I devoured Pastais de Nata... especially at Pastais in Belem. Belem is renowned patisserie in Lisbon baking golden Nata treasures. So, I was very excited to see Nata on Franklin Avenue. This cute bakery specializing in Pastais de Nata warms my Brooklyn heart! It is two weeks old and already there are lines waiting to taste these heavenly Portuguese tarts. Lisbonata keeps it simple as far as flavors: Original,, Belgian Chocolate, Pistachio Cream, Yuzu, Salted Caramel and Raspberry. I tried the Original and it is delicious.. I was right back in Belem! The owners, Camille and George, are wonderful and I don't think they realize they have a jewel of a patisserie in the heart of Eastern Parkway. As of now there is outdoor seating where people passing by can be envious of you eating delicious Nata. As for myself, I see devouring numerous Nata in my future! Abrigado Camille and George! read more

Portuguese egg tarts are one of my favorite desserts so I knew I had to try this out when I was in Brooklyn. The stand had a really cute aesthetic and you could see the trays of freshly baked pastels de nata in their window front. Me and friends decided to order a 12 pack with all their flavors (original, pistachio, chocolate, salted caramel, raspberry, and yuzu). I was able to try the pistachio and original and oh my god these blew me away! The shell was insanely crispy, flakey, and buttery while the custard was super creamy and rich. The custard was a little more runny than I was used to but the flavor was fantastic. The pistachio was my favorite and I liked how it has a little hint of orange blossom. An amazing place for Portuguese style egg tarts and a must get while in Brooklyn! read more

Got the variety 4 pack of the pastel de natas and I chose the original, salted caramel, chocolate, and pistachio. Every single one was AMAZING. The salted caramel was my absolute favorite but I would get any of the 4 again. If these pastries were this good at room temperature, I can only imagine just how amazing they'd be when they're fresh out the oven. 10/10, no notes, will definitely be back again read more
Nice curb appeal. Pastries run $4 apiece. They're clearly well executed. But the flavor didn't hit hard. Could have used more richness. Texture was solid. Nothing felt off, just underwhelming. It's a pleasant sidewalk setup. Good for a casual hang, not a destination. Doesn't clear the bar for a must-visit. read more

Lisbonata is a gem in Crown Heights if you love Portuguese egg tarts. We picked up 6 for $23, which felt very affordable given the quality. Honestly, some of the best Portuguese egg tarts I've had, perfectly flaky crust with a rich, creamy filling. You order directly at the window, and while there's no indoor seating, it's easy to grab a box to go. A must-try if you're in the neighborhood. read more
Lovely warm pasteis de nata Lisbonata has a booth set up at the fort greene farmer's market on Saturdays that's pretty easy to find. Service is helpful with recommendations and ordering/check out is straightforward. Their pasteis de natas (egg tarts) are kept warm before being packaged for you which I appreciate. Got a half dozen assortment of the original, pistachio, and chai. Appreciated that they were not too sweet but found the filling to be a bit runny for my liking. We liked the original the best in terms of flavor. Definitely different vs the original from pasteis de Belem but a lovely warm treat nonetheless Overall would recommend! read more
One of the best egg tarts I've had! It was crispy and flaky on the outside and the egg custard was silky and smooth. My favorite was the pistachio cream egg tart which had the pistachio cream on top. The yuzu egg tart was citrusy and worked well! The original was solid and great if you're looking for a traditional egg tart. Service was quick! We enjoyed it so much we came back again before we left the city! read more

There are no flavor variations from the original Pastel de Nata or the most traditional ones: Pastéis de Belém! This is a wild American fantasy to add other flavors that make no sense at all! Disregarding this fantasy and eating the original one is the only choice. The rest is garbage. Portugal's iconic custard tart, traces its origins back to the 18th century in Lisbon. It was first created by Catholic monks at the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém. At the time, convents and monasteries often used large quantities of egg whites for starching clothes and in winemaking, leaving them with many leftover yolks. To avoid waste, the monks developed rich egg-based pastries, including the pastel de nata. So, stop adding other crap ingredients to it!! read more
