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.

I think the pastries here taste okay but the ladies that work here are super friendly. One of the ladies gave me a free pastry. So nice of her to do that!

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.

Pastel de Nata (original)
Vi T.

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!

Finally got to try this place after seeing it on social media and bookmarking on Yelp! There was a few people ahead of me but not a long wait thankfully. Was able to try malasadas - vanilla cream and chocolate hazelnut filling as well as their egg tarts were delicious. They have a few drinks available to order as well more malasadas with different filling flavors and different egg tarts that have different toppings such as strawberries, etc.

I finally happened to be in the area to try this place. It was around 11am on a Saturday and luckily no line. There were lots of different pastries to try but since I was on my way to lunch somewhere else I needed to limit my purchase. The place is small so to go is the best option. Since I was the only person at the counter, the service was good and attentive. I wanted to try the malasadas but some of them looked a little sad I guess since they probably have been sitting there for hours prefilled with pastry cream. I stuck with just trying the egg tarts. I tried the original and a chocolate one. They are small. I was surprised they came warm which was a good sign. Each tasted great. The crust was flaky how it should be. Each egg tart is $4. There is a sign at the register charging a 5% cost of living surcharge and then taxed. To me this seemed a little steep for 2 small egg tarts. If I was in the area and ok to splurge, sure I'll try this place again. However I would not go out of my way to come here.

Tried this spot through TooGooToGo, glad I did because we got to try a great mix of pastries! Bakery had no queue at 3:15pm, staff was kind, and surprise bag pick-up was super-fast. Highlights: * The croissants! Enormous (nearly the length of a whole salad/dessert plate), buttery, great for dunking in hot coffee. * Partner loved the Pão com Chouriço (bread with chorizo) - he ate one with salad for a filling lunch. Will definitely be back to try more sweets & their sandwiches.

Cute little family owned Portuguese bakery! Lots of variety and options, staff are friendly, area it is in is pretty rough with some homeless wandering around so careful where you park and that also is hard ( had to park far away) the pastel de nata's taste amazing and authentic to the ones in Portugal. Lemon malassadas were a bit lacking in the lemon flavor. Price point is also a bit high, sandwitch costs here were kinda spooky.

6 malassadas and 12 pastel de nata
Maggie W.

I ordered a set of 12 pastel de nata and 6 malassadas to split with my team. I selected the lemon and the chocolate hazelnut. The crust of the Portuguese egg tarts is so amazing! I love making custard and think I could attempt to replicate this at home, but the flaky crust is what I would struggle with replicating for sure. The lemon helped temper the sugary goodness of the egg tart, while the creamy hazelnut spread added another texture in the mix for my egg tart. The malassadas were just alright, they were very doughy and a bit tiring to eat since they lacked a more nuanced flavor (what with the sweetness of the malassada bread and the filling). My boyfriend liked his strawberry one and I enjoyed my plain vanilla one very much.

Found this cute pastry shop on Santa Clara St in Downtown San Jose. We were looking for something sweet to eat and thought to check this out. Difficult street payment parking but free street parking on Sunday. They have a few tables to seat at, nothing outside. Always seems to be very busy but service is friendly but slow. I think why the lines are long. Very good quality pastry selection at decent prices. Everything we ordered was good. Their traditional Portuguese tarts are always a good choice. Their chocolate and almond croissants are huge, larger than my hand size, at $8ea but well worth it. They are flaky and filled with stuff. Their malasadas are big and soft even a day old, and they are not stingy on filling. Their malasadas hazelnut chocolate, coconut and regular cream are very good $5ea. I even like their unfilled malasadas. I would definitely come back to Pastelaria Adega again if I am in the area. I would like to try their sandwiches as it looks good and they sell a few other items on their shelves as well. [14R,2025]

I thought this place was overrated initially, and because of this didn't quite give it the chance I should've when it came around to trying it. My friend recently got me a box as a gift though... and woah I was completely wrong! The egg tarts here are SO good. We started eating them with the intent of just sampling one, but ended up finishing the entire box in one sitting lol. They've made a new fan out of me! The egg tarts here are fresh and tasty. Not to mention, they're not too sweet either! I loved how there were so many unique flavors to try. I'm typically not a fan of passion fruit, but that egg tart ended up being my favorite one. Definitely give them a try if you have the chance!

Masalada
Susan Z.

The masaladas are so creamy and delicious here, as are their portuguese tarts! Parking can be a bit difficult though, as I've only tried to go when my partner is driving. Definitely a nice treat when we can stop by and enjoyable every time.

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 portion is also tiny. I thought it was gonna be like a big paella or something. Overall everything was solid/tasty. Cocktails were surprisingly good. I'll say the only thing is the value/price. Portions are tiny and some things like the rice are really pricey for the portion that you get so I'd def be aware of that.

The dishes felt creative and a little unexpected in a good way. A lot of the menu leaned seafood, which I loved. The squid tempura (literally hanging on a line!) was such a cute and memorable moment -- super crispy and paired with two sauces that made it even better. Also have to mention the strawberry sangria... sooo good. Light, refreshing, and actually tasted like real strawberries (not overly sweet or artificial). And the birthday cake sooo cute!! I really appreciated that extra touch -- it made the whole night feel special. Definitely a place for a fun, experience-focused dinner rather than just a regular meal.

What an enjoyable experience with impeccable tastes, ambiance and service!…read more I wasn't really sure what to expect driving up to this location as it's placement in the east side of San Jose was interesting. However after walking in we were transported into a more serene ambiance, with simple decor and a low volume. I should have snapped a photo of the menu because I do not remember anything we ate (and this was a couple weeks ago) but I can tell you it was all delicious! We did each start with a craft cocktail which was made non alcoholic at our request. I have been wanting to have a non alcoholic old fashioned since I stopped drinking three years ago and it was such an unexpected delight, even being topped with a thick slice of prosciutto. Our meal began with an array of amuse bouches, presented in such a cool display, I don't think any of them came on an actual plate. Each portion of the meal was delightful and the flavor profiles stood out among each one. All in all, this was a great experience and one I would recommend for foodies.

Truly a hidden gem of a place…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by the owner and told about some of the menu. The prices range from $4-$7 and that is very cheap. The whole vibe of the place is relaxed and like a European cafe. The coffee even tasted like European espresso. It was perfect. I ordered the linguica sandwich with tomatoes and onions and let me tell you, extremely well balanced sandwich. A little acid from the juicy tomato (not watery) salt and spices from the linguica, butter, and a light fluffy but crispy roll was amazing. He delivered the food to our table one by one and I wouldn't say he was hustling but was working effectively while chatting with what seemed to be regular customers. Extremely friendly and relaxed. I think that it's nice that it's a "pay when you're ready" kind of place rather than a "pay upfront". It adds a lot to the laid back atmosphere. If we are in the area, we'll 100% come back as there's not many places that have the European cafe vibe in the Bay Area.
