Nata Seattle has a commercial kitchen in West Seattle, with regular pop-ups in Fremont Sunday Market, and occasional pop-ups elsewhere. I came upon their booth at the Kirkland Urban Thursday market and each time bought a six pack - because how can I buy just 1, 2, or even 3!?
The husband, Ricardo, was at the booth both times. They sell them hot from the warmer or room temp from the trays. I take the room temp ones, since I like to re-heat them in the toaster oven.
A six pack of original is $21; a single original is $4. A six pack of assorted is $21.90; the flavored ones vary slightly.
I always take two originals, our favs with that creamy custard filling. Yum! Then we get a mix of chocolate cocoa nibs, pandan, and coffee. The coconut is very popular, but we are not coconut people.
I very much appreciate that they are continuously improving their recipe. During the Nov market, Richardo mentioned they are doing trials of the chocolate version, so it wouldn't be all dark at the top. During the Dec market, Richardo said they are boiling pandan leaves to extract the flavor, so it wouldn't look neon green and yield a more natural flavor. My oh my, what a difference it makes! See Nov and Dec photos for contrast! The pastry shell is flaky, and they reheat very well. Highly recommend these pastel de Nata. read more
