My husband and I had a fantastic breakfast at Natas Pastries the other day. We found this restaurant online after looking for a bakery that sells pastéis de nada. My husband fell in love with them in Portugal and he's been craving them ever since we got home. I'm happy to say that the pastéis de nada at Natas Pastries are just as delicious as the ones we had in Portugal. Their other breakfast food was delicious as well. I had the All American Breakfast, and the potatoes were incredible! My husband had the Breakfast Burrito with linguiça, and he loved it! We sat outside on the patio, which is a lovely place to enjoy a meal, and all of the staff was so friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu, as well as more pastéis de nada! read more

We had had dinner at a restaurant about a block away. I'm always looking to try different bakeries and saw that Natas was close by and still open. It's usually hard to find a bakery that is still open after 6 pm. I decided to try a variety of pastries and ordered an apple strudel, chocolate covered peanut butter bar and a large chocolate chip cookie. They had a very wide selection to choose from. My daughter ordered a lemon bar, slice of lemon cake and a small chocolate chip cookie. My first impression of the desserts that I chose was that they were sweet. I could feel the graininess of the sugar in the chocolate covered peanut butter bar. The strudel was tasty but light on the apple filling. Between the chocolate chips and sugar the cookie was sweeter than what I usually like but still a good cookie. I tried my daughter's lemon bar and I liked it. The things I tried I'm thinking 3 stars, my daughter liked the things she bought so averaging it out maybe a solid 3.5 stars rounded up to a generous 4 stars. Service was okay. Natas has a wide variety of pastries. I think the other items on the menu are more well received. I'll need to go back next time I am in town to try out some of other menu items. read more

Finally my husband and I tried Natas! We so happen to come here right when it opened on Sunday and got a parking space. It's a very small lot so if we come at any other time, I probably would just park on the street (meter parking). We ordered the breakfast sandwich as I saw it came highly recommended and ordered it with turkey bacon and cheddar cheese on a ciabatta bread. The other options was a croissant or their house made Portuguese bread, which she said was a tad sweet. It was probably one of the best sandwiches I had!! The bread was perfectly toasted, with melty cheese and a generous amount of eggs and turkey bacon! We also got the scramble with spinach, mushrooms, and linguica (spicy sausage...they have mild as well). Nothing super special, but it was a delicious scramble and it hit the spot! We met the owner, who was very sweet. She told us they opened in 2005, with just the bakery portion and in 2010, expanded into the restaurant. They have a very cute outdoor patio with plants around. We opted to sit inside since it was a little chilly and love the ambiance there as well. They serve their entire breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu ALL DAY! We'll definitely be back! read more

This bakery is amongst the best. 5 years ago had the pleasure of having their food delivered but today was extra special as we came here to have natas and bola de Berlin. The staff was incredibly kind and the ice coffee, like the pastries was absolutely delicious. Fantastic place and I will be coming back as often as possible. The ambiance is that of Portugal and you feel taken away for a while. It's great read more

Been going here for 20 years! FINALLY snapped some pictures to write a review. You step into this charming little, beautifully decorated cafe and are immediately transported to Portugal! The people working there are always just wonderful and the food is DELICIOUS!!! It's ALWAYS good!! It's very popular amongst the locals so the parking can be tough in the lot but there's lots of street parking around. The scramble was perfectly cooked and the breakfast sandwich is beautiful and YUMMY! Of course, the pastries are AMAZING!! When we were there for breakfast there was a sign for a complimentary Portuguese pastry and a glass of wine from Portugal with dinner! We'll GO back!!! read more

The vibe is very cute, rustic and teleports you to a small cafe in Portugal with the artisan tiles throughout the space and the charming light fixtures. The sandwiches were OK. I really liked the side salad that they came with and the potato chips. My partner and I didn't love the food here but it wasn't bad.. The portions were large and we both had leftovers! A lot of value in lunch items. I think the bakery was the all star. We ordered a few of the parties and the Nutella with almonds on top of the custard was to absolutely die for. I wish I could eat 10 in one sitting because of how silly and luxurious it tasted. I was a little disappointed in the coffee. I feel like it was rushed and not really apart of their specialty services. I really enjoyed our server, he was very sweet and soft spoken with a lot of compassion and friendliness. I wish I remembered his name but he gave me cool goth vibes! I found the menu to be a little difficult to navigate since it was a little overwhelming but that's perfectly OK. I'd come back for pastries. read more

Updated review: the owner reached out to me after my last experience where some of the pastries tasted stale, so I came back to try it again. This time, the natas tasted much more fresh, and the chocolate peanut one was my favorite. The plain nata is also very tasty and this time the crust had great lamination and a nice crunch. The owner is also very nice, I'm glad I came back read more

A slice of heaven. I've been coming here for seven years and it reminds me so much of Lisbon. It's like a little corner of Portugal instead of the hectic hubbub of LA. The owners are so hands on and warm, there's something about every bite feeling homemade. Still my favorite way to treat myself! thanks Natas Pastries! read more

This amazing little Portuguese Cafe is a hidden gem in Sherman Oaks. I had no idea it had been here for 20 years until I popped in last weekend to buy a few pastries and spoke to the owner Fatima. The place was packed! Everyone was chatting and enjoying themselves. The inside is small with an adorable area off to the side with a few tables. Very quaint and romantic. My pastries were delicious! I plan on going back soon for a sit down meal. *Only opened on the weekends ~ Friday - Sunday: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM *Parking is limited in the lot - Plenty of street parking read more

Will update if and when I actually get a chance to try their food. Super limited hours and even though it says 9-9 on weekends, they closed at 4pm on Sunday and we were turned away when we arrived. Location is a small shop into a corner strip mall and you could miss it if you're not looking for it since the outdoor patio does obstruct the view of the front of the restaurant a bit as well. Will try again when I'm out in the area and hopefully can actually review the food. read more

I tried Natas Pastries while doing a little self-directed food tour in Sherman Oaks, and I had an enjoyable experience. I knew that I wanted to try one of their egg tarts but was also curious about the rest of their pastry menu. One of their employees gave me various recommendations, and I ended up ordering a bola de Berlin. The egg tart had a flaky crust with a tender filling, and the bola de Berlin came filled with pastry cream along with a sugar-dusted exterior. I liked both items though the donut could have benefitted from a more pillowy texture. Given the wide selection of pastries and an additional food menu, I would be open to returning! read more

I returned to this delightful restaurant and pastry shop after five years and was elated to find that the quality, decor and warm service have all remained as exceptional as ever! A display of freshly baked French and Portugese pastries welcomes and traps you in! An intimate small and authentically decorated Portuguese style dinning area transports me each time to my several trips to Lisbon and countryside coffee shops..... it's hard to leave once the rapture of Natas takes over. As a longtime fan of Natas for over fifteen years, I've always admired their fresh pastries and this morning's visit reminded me why. We revsited this charming and quaint spot for breakfast and were impressed. Their menu offers a full selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner options; we indulged in their sweet nutella crepes and crunchy French toast. The portions were generous and each dish beautifully prepared. The French toast was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside and drizzled with maple and vanilla cream sauce.... a combination that hit every note of indulgence. What truly stood out was the abundence of fresh seasonal fruit; not just a garnish, but a plentiful compliment to the dish, making each bite balanced and refreshing. The Nutella crepe, while a bit thicker in texture than the traditional delicate style, was rich and satisfying with a generous spread of Nutella that made it a satisfying meal. To top it off, both the Americano and iced coffee were strong, aromatic and just what we needed to start the morning right. Few things compare to the comfort of a piping hot, perfectly brewed coffee alongside a sweet breakfast in such a cozy and welcoming setting. Natas remains a timeless favorite; a perfect blend of comfort, consistency and charm that makes you want to return again and again. read more

NATAS PASTRIES make absolutely mouthwatering datas!!! Real custard inside the flakiest, and shockingly sturdy, pastry. The custard did not taste egg-y. There was no line to get in nor a line to order. It was easy and fast to order and get our natas. You can dine in or take out. read more

I heard of this place and have driven past it several times - decided to give them a try since we ate next door. Really wanted to love this place but the pastries were a little lacking. They're only open from Friday to Sunday - so the pastries may probably be fresh-er if we came at a different time. The owner was there, very lovely lady, worth going back on a Friday to try the pastries again. read more

Absolutely amazing pastries! This little whole in the wall is such a gem for the valley. I ordered one classic nata and a queijada. The pastry on both had a billion flaky, crispy, crunchy layers. They were outstanding. The classic nata was my favorite. Thick, dense, rich, yet also light custard with a subtle sweetness and not over eggy. I didn't like the queijada quite as much but still enjoyed it. Nutty, thicker like a paste, but still sweet enough and tasty enough to enjoy with coffee. I will absolutely return read more

Really delicious nata, never had an egg tart like that before. Some were too sweet for my taste but overall really good. Omelet was a classic, nice and comforting brunch dish. Service was friendly and prompt. Love the decorated interior, the story of how the store was founded was cool to see, they show the progress pics of the restaurant being remodeled in the bathroom! read more

First time at Nata Pastries. My wife heard about the establishment searching online for pastries and restaurants from Portugal. We went to an early dinner and ordered from the menu. We were given immediate attention by the friendly waitress. We chose seafood Caldaeirada and Shrimp Mozambique. Delicious , flavorful, and large portions. We were pleasantly informed that the dinner came with complimentary wine and a nata dessert . The restaurant is decorated nicely with beautiful Portuguese theme . Casual. Retroom is clean, a pet peeve of mine. My wife loved the experience. We will return. read more

My family and I always love getting the custard here! The workers are always so nice and love the authentic cuisine!

This is a good spot to chill over food or dessert! My friends and I were looking for a spot to grab dessert after dinner nearby and we passed by Natas as we were walking, so we decided to try the pastries here. We stopped by Friday around 7:30 and it wasn't busy at all. Everything in the display case looked really good, so we each got one to share. All of the pastries were pretty solid, though I don't think any particular one stood out. There's indoor seating, but we sat outside as it was a nice day out and stayed until they closed, a little after 9 pm. They offer a full menu for food as well, so I'd love to come back and try some of their Portuguese dishes! read more

The next best thing to eating pastries in Portugal! After eating what seemed to be countless Pastel de nata when I visited Portugal last year, I was so happy to make the discovery of Natas when I returned. Cute little place and their pastries, including the Pastel de nata, are truly amazing. Everything is fresh, and made with great ingredients. Very nice counter staff as well. Note to self to come in for breakfast or dinner to enjoy some Portuguese wine as well. Warning that parking is not easy here. Small lot and crowded street parking. read more

Let me start with how lovely the owner and staff are. The restaurant itself is also cute, good music always playing. The food, pastry and coffee is hit and miss. Most dishes are ok, the food is usually bland. Pastries don't always taste fresh and recently they've become very over priced. $7.5 for a medium size can eclair?!! The coffee.... Not good at all! We used to come here regularly but not anymore. read more

We had Mother's Day brunch at Nata's Pastries. What an amazing place! We really enjoyed ourselves. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. We had the Breakfast Sandwich!

I was excited to find out about this Portuguese restaurant during my trip to LA, and it was memorable. The food was amazing! I let the pictures speak for themselves. I had a very good time there meeting my friend. We both enjoyed the food and can't resist to pick up a full box of pastries home. My friend's pastries were squished in a small box so they got out of shape. The server should have packed hers in a bigger box. A small point taken off because of this, but I truly hope that they do a better job next time. The restaurant is in a small strip mall, so parking situation is not great. Beware not to park behind the restaurant because the parking area belongs to another restaurant and a staff there would stand by and ask you to leave. So look for street parking which is plenty around. read more
