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.

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!
