Very clean and a lot of seating, staff were also very friendly. Love that they have a self serve to go area. Parking is downtown San Jose so you have to find street parking or find a parking garage nearby. Plain Egg tarts: 4.5/5 Cinnamon egg tarts: 4/5, you have to really love and appreciate cinnamon At $4.50/egg tart, it's very fair pricing in 2026. Not the best egg tart I ever had, easily have had much better in Hong Kong, sj Vietnam town, sf Chinatown, but if you're new to egg tarts and not anywhere near the places I mentioned above, this is a very good second choice.

Malasadas (No Filling & Sweet Egg Cream) & Pastel De Nata
Allison L.

I love a good egg tart and malasada so was excited to try this spot since not many places offer fresh malasadas! We came on a weekday around 11:30AM and quickly ordered. Each item was about $4-5 each. Service was fast and friendly Pastel de nata (4.5/5): I really enjoyed it, the crust was perfectly flaky and the egg filling was creamy! My only complaint is that there was a bit too much egg filling, compared to the crust, so the ratio was a bit off. I would come back for these! Malasadas (3/5): good sweetness but I thought the texture of it was overly thick and dense. I'm no expert but I prefer them soft and fluffy. I preferred the no filling to the sweet egg cream filling

Vanilla malassada

Cute Bakery! Food: Vanilla- yummy and soft Chocolate Hazelnut - tasted the best Plain - a little dry Service: prompt and attentive Ambiance: cute and clean A bit pricey but good with coffee.

Finally got to try them. Unfortunately no malasadas until 1.5 hr later. Was given the option to pre-order. Apparently you can call to preorder too ? Got the tarts and wow very flaky !! The lamination and butter was spot on. The filling was just a touch too sweet for us. Had the original and the apple cinnamon. Didn't except the apple to be a fave, but it was. Think of an elevated apple pie or even an elevated McDonald's apple pie. Don't skip out, try it ! Also had the coconut brioche, very light but not much coconut flavor. I would come again if in the mood !

Sweet egg cream and ube.  The other is a almond twist
John N.

I have not been here for a year since I had to cut back on my sweet. They must have a new owner or baker because these crème fillings were tasteless and not creamy like they used to be. The almond twist was ok but once again, not too tasty. I was in the bakery at 11am on Saturday morning to find no customers there. They used to be packed and I would be lucky to get any beignets. Dont want to ruin a business but they need to get their act together. It was $20 wasted. This picture was taken at 8:30pm. Normally it would have been gone in 30 minutes lol. Do better and I will change my rating

A dozen of each different Portuguese tarts ~ a bit cuteeee!
Lily D.

I wanted to like this place, but I just don't see the hype. The pastries were stale and lacked flavor. Even the malasadas were underwhelming and if you think they are similar to Leonard's, then this does not come close. For the Portuguese tarts, they were served a bit cold. I'd recommend reheating them. The crust was so oily it seeped through the napkin and the filling was overly sweet. I took one bite and couldn't finish it. Overall, the texture and flavor didn't meet expectations. Service was decent but the staff were not friendly. This was a bit of a letdown. If you can, I'd suggest driving or taking the train to SF for this better spot, Holy Nata. It was so much better.

Wow! What an absolutely disappointment. As a Portuguese person, I grew up on Pastel de Nata or what we call from our island Cajada de Nata. I was SOOOO sad and disappointed just by the appearance of them when arriving, they were all burnt! You can't tell me they are supposed to look like this because nowhere on their website or instagram to they advertise them with black tops. I purchase Pastel de Nata quite frequently from my local bakery in San Leandro and since we were finally in San Jose, I was SO excited at the opportunity to try new ones from this "popular bakery" and I'm confused on how these sell? I ordered 13 pastel de Nata (6 traditional & the remaining a mix of all the flavors they offer) I'd hope when packing my boxes they'd attempt to throw some in there that weren't burnt from the top but the pictures speak for themselves. The burnt top ruins the taste of the pastry itself. The filling to crust ratio isn't it. Needs more custard or a slightly thinner crust. Attaching photos for reference. We also arrived at 11am (1.5 hours after they opened) and there was literally only 1 malasada left, I'm so happy it happened to be dulce de leche which I wanted and purchased it. My husband, son, and I LOVED it! That's the reason for the 1 star (although I can't give less) I'd recommend they make more Malasadas and less Pastel de Nata to keep up with the demand, a couple families walked in after me and walked right out when they realized there weren't any in stock and they genuinely taste better then the Pastel de Nata, you can tell that's where the high ratings come from and why they are popular. Overall - would recommend 1000% skipping the pastel de Nata unfortunately it does not taste anything like the ones I've had before. Not a true reflection of what it should taste/look like. We made the drive super excited to finally come and try and ignore the reviews saying it wasn't the best just to confirm they were correct.

Malasada with sweet egg cream, pastel de nata, malasada with no filling
Elisa L.

Came around 11:45 am on a weekday and there was no line to order. They have a big display of all their delicious looking egg tarts and malasadas! The malasadas were huge, thick and covered with sugar! They were much denser and chewier than the ones I've had in Hawaii so I prefer them light and fluffy. The original malasada with no filling wasn't too sweet. The malasada with sweet egg cream was a bit sweet as it was stuffed with cream. The pastel de nata was thick and nicely crispy and the egg filling was tasty but kinda sweet.

regular, chocolate, blueberry, passion fruit, and cinnamon (not pictured)
Vania B.

Still one of my favorite places, and their pastel de natas are always delicious and perfect. The crust is so flaky and buttery. The custards are smooth and all taste as advertised. Price is $4 for a single pastel de nata or $21 for a box of 6. Highly recommend parking at a free 90 minute garage, then walking over here. Service is usually quick and friendly.

Great Pasteis de Nata and Malasadas! Perfect for gifts too! The lemon Malasadas was my favorite!

Pastel de Nata (original)

The first time I tried Pastelaria Ageda's Pastel De Nata was when the first blow-up on social media and there were a line in front of their door. My family got me their original Portuguese Egg Tart, Ham & Cheese Croissant, and Chourico Bread to-go. The croissant and the bread were too buttery for my taste, I love buttery flaky pastries in general but these were too much to handle, like they basically soaked in butter, I cannot even taste the flavor of the ham or the sliced linguica sausage. But the egg tart was good, the shell were flaky and rich in butter, meanwhile the egg custard filling have a nice fragrant smell of egg & milk with soft jelly-like texture. So this time when I was around downtown SJ, I decided to stop by to get myself an egg tart, as a quick tasty snack on the go. The lovely lady behind the counter helped me get the good and check out all under 3 minutes. The store ambience were bright and have a lovely cyan/blue color theme, I feel calm and relax when I enter the door. But this time, the egg tart didn't taste as good as I remembered. Funny thing is, I thought when I bought it in store, the egg tart supposed to be fresher and tastier in compare with my to-go experience. Likes... it was still that same egg tart but somehow the flavors and texture decreased 20-30%. I still finished it tho, but I don't know if I will want to give it another try in the future.

I saw this place on TikTok and had been waiting to try it for a long time. I was finally in the area and decided to try! I'll start off by saying it's in downtown San Jose. Parking is a little challenging and the area isn't great. Walking up it's smelly and dirty. I know some of you will say I'm being dramatic or delicate but it's just my opinion. Anyway, the baked goods are good. The stuffed sugary pastry is a bit much, a little too sweet and large portion. So it's a good idea to share if you aren't much of a sweets person. Pairing it with one of their espresso coffees makes it perfect. The croissant, in my opinion is the star of the place. It's the best I've had! I got a ham and cheese melt, omg delicious!! The woman at the counter was friendly and prices were decent. Definitely worth the try!

Went on a Sunday 10 minutes before they opened and there was already a line forming outside. So safe to say this place does get busy--so do come early or preorder. It is a small shop with a few tables to sit at. The display of all of the tarts was presented nicely and clearly labeled. I tried their plain Portuguese egg tart and the chocolate one--both of which were good and some of the best egg tarts I've had. I ate both of them hours later and they were both still flaky, creamy/custard-y, and still had a nice bite/crisp to it. I like how it didn't taste eggy like some tarts I've tried before. Besides egg tarts, they offer other pastries that I have yet to try.

Whats the specialty here?and how much?

I would say their specialties are their Portuguese egg tarts (pasteis de nata) which are $4 a piece. They are cheaper when you get half a dozen of them at around $22 for half a dozen. The other popular item they have are the malasadas which are… 

Is pastel de nara the special one? How much is it? Thanks?

Pastel de Nata is similar to the egg tarts you can get at a Chinese bakery. They're flaky in the crust and ooey gooey in the center with sweet custard. They're about $4 a piece. You can get 6 for $21

Is it busy on opening?

Definitely on weekend openings.

The server was nice, but there was only one for the entire restaurant. She took orders and made drinks. When we were finished with our meal the one server was taking the orders for the table of ten. By the time she took the orders and entered it in the computer, it had been about 30 minutes. She asked if we wanted dessert and I said no because I was just tired of waiting. So we asked for our check. They use one of those little handheld devices to pay at the table (which was great!) but we had to wait for her to make more drinks first. The food was decent but way too salty. Almost every dish was so salty I almost couldn't eat it. The octopus was cooked ok but quite bland. The duck rice was probably my favorite. The dishes got cold really fast sitting under the A/C, which probably didn't help. The drinks were pretty good. I'm honestly shocked that this has Bib Gourmand status and from the same owners as Adega. Maybe it's a different experience on the weekend when it's busier. Honestly, if they didn't want to hire more than one server/bartender they should just close. The lack of people working didn't help their reputation in my mind and I don't know if I'd ever go back. For the price I expected a lot more from the reputation.

My experience with Bacalhau Grill was extremely disappointing and frustrating…read more Before placing my order, I called multiple times because I have significant food allergies and needed to verify ingredients and preparation methods. Asking questions about allergens is not a matter of preference--it's a matter of safety. During these calls, I experienced repeated hang-ups while simply trying to get information about whether the restaurant could accommodate my allergies. Eventually, I was assured that my meal could be prepared without the ingredients I am allergic to, so I felt comfortable enough to place and pay for an order. Unfortunately, that was where the problems only got worse. After placing the order, I waited more than an hour and a half. During that time, I repeatedly attempted to contact the restaurant for updates and clarification. Instead of receiving assistance, my calls were repeatedly ignored or disconnected. It felt as though the restaurant was actively refusing to communicate after taking my payment. The most upsetting part of the experience was that after assuring me they could accommodate my allergies and accepting my money, I never received the level of communication or service that any customer should reasonably expect. When someone has food allergies, clear communication is essential. Being unable to get answers about an order involving allergens is stressful and unacceptable. What should have been a straightforward transaction turned into an exhausting experience filled with confusion, unanswered questions, and a complete lack of customer service. I spent considerable time trying to reach someone, waiting for an order, and attempting to resolve the situation, only to be met with silence and disconnected calls. I understand that restaurants get busy and mistakes can happen. However, repeatedly hanging up on a customer, failing to communicate after taking payment, and leaving someone waiting for over an hour and a half without meaningful updates is not acceptable. Customers deserve honesty, respect, and basic communication--especially when food allergies are involved. This was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I have had, and unfortunately I cannot recommend Bacalhau Grill based on the way this situation was handled.
