One of my favorite bakeries in Lisbon! I came across Sacolinha while I was Googling about for the…read morebest sweet treats in Lisbon, and was immediately drawn in by their massive selection and great reviews. Cascais is, unfortunately, quite far from the heart of Lisbon, but I was thankfully planning to make a trip out there as part of a tour group (shoutout to Buendia's Sintra / Cascais tours) so had the perfect opportunity to check out Sacolinha's giant pastry case. My mom and I decided to split an assortment, which included two mini bola de berlim, as well as two different types of castanhas de ovos. The bola were lovely; they were super soft and pillowy, and the fillings (one was egg custard, the other nutella, I think) were both great. They were a smidge too sweet and did slightly remind me of American donuts, but they were a bit softer and less overwhelmingly sweet than their US counterparts. My favorite, though, had to be the castanhas de ovos. I already love chestnuts, so having the world's best nut translated into a dessert was a dream come true. They were so delicious that my mom and I had to come back to buy a box of six to bring home with us. The store itself is a pretty simple, but large pastaleria. It tends to get pretty crowded, but there's, thankfully, ample indoor and outdoor seating. You order up at the counter, and then they'll log your order onto a standard card, which you can later take up to the register to cash out. It's a bit of an odd system, but honestly makes the ordering way more efficient, since you don't have to wait for everyone's credit cards to process or cash to get counted, and you can go up to the register to pay at your leisure.

Located on the Main Street in downtown Cascais, this place has a huge selection of sweets and…read morepastries as well as some savory options. Staff were generally friendly although the cashier muttered something in Portuguese at me when I paid with $50 bill for 2 pastries. That's the only bill I had left as this place is cash only. I tried a beef empanada and a ham and cheese pastry. Honestly I felt it was underwhelming and the ham and cheese one was not good at all. Perhaps I should have tried something sweet. In anycase location and ambience were nice and easy access given located right on the main road.

They could not have been nicer to us. Also, the bathrooms were nice- which is great, and not always the case in Portugal.

GREAT PLACE TO GET FOOD IN DOWNTOWN CASCAIS…read more============================================ If you feel like a great sandwich or baked goods this is the place to go. My family and I had lunch at Paul a couple of times while staying nearby at the Citadel. We loved their Mediterranean caprese style sandwich and had those a couple of times. I can't even remember what my son and daughter-in-law ordered, but they were happy. The prices are good and they have plenty of tables.

Very fresh cookies and baked goods. The balacao or fish balls are deliciousread more

Charming little bakery right on the Jardim Visconde da Luz. The pastel de nata was the standout…read moreitem here with an especially buttery, flaky crust. The staff's English is limited; we lucked out by being there when the most English-proficient waiter was working. That said, a few words and a lot of hand gestures will easily get you by. The real plus to this bakery is its location. If the weather is nice, grab a coffee/pastry and sit out on the front patio in the morning to read a book, skim the morning paper, or simply people watch. The patio is perfectly positioned to get the most out of the morning sun while also being far enough from the main hustle of Alameda Combatentes da Grande Guerra with its market and many shops. They keep your tab on an RFID card that they'll drop on your table. Just go up to the counter with it at the end to pay. There are public/free restrooms in the park if you need them but I imagine they also have them inside.
