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 ! read more

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. read more

Pastelaria Adega - A dozen of each different Portuguese tarts ~ a bit cuteeee! - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

Ordered: Box of 6 Pasteis de Nata (~$21): traditional, hazelnut, blueberry, strawberry, passionfruit, and cinnamon apple Aya's take: Pastelaria Adega came well-recommended by a friend and we decided to give it a try. As I couldn't get there before the afternoon, we placed an order in advance which was a great move considering they were out of most flavors by then if I had just walked in to try some. The Pasteis de Nata were all good in the sense that they were flaky, creamy (not eggy), and not overly sweet. I was most excited to try the passionfruit one but I will say it tasted pretty much like the traditional with passionfruit seeds on top. There must have been the slightest hint of passionfruit, if at all. The flavor needs to be way more pronounced. The hazelnut was one of my favorites; the cream inside was delicious and it honestly didn't need the sprinkles on top. Both blueberry & strawberry were also well done and added a nice tart flavor to each bite. Sadly, mine was not served in their pretty boxes; apparently they charge ~$3 for that now. Decent try! read more

The tarts were yummy love that it's not eggy and love the crunch bottom was not soggy. We ordered the dozen and got all flavors. I forget to take a picture of them. It went in all our bellies before getting a pic . Sad didn't get to try malasadas as we came right when it opened so was not ready. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Pastelaria Adega - 6 malassadas and 12 pastel de nata - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

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] read more

Was walking by after having breakfast and decided to get some desserts here. Loved the pastel de nata and Malasada. Got plain ones but everything was very good and fresh.

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! read more

Enjoyed the pastries and donuts here! They are on the sweet side and very satisfying when you are in the mood for some well-made sweet treats! Got 6 of the small tarts and 2 donuts, one with strawberry and the other with chocolate hazelnut fillings. I personally loved the hazelnut filling and the donut texture was fluffy and light! The tarts were delicious as well and I enjoyed the lemon flavor; though the blueberry one was also good but the custard overpowered the fruity notes. Inside was pretty with comfortable lighting and decor. The lady who served me was full of smiles and very pleasant too. It was a great experience. read more

I've wanted to go to Adega for the longest time, and I still haven't, and since they've reopened, that's definitely a goal of mine. In the meantime, they've opened a pastelaria, and I'm glad I walked in as I was on the way home from another bakery because this place is tremendous. Upon entry I was greeted by so many delicious-looking malasadas, and the best part was there was a deal on them if you bought more than four. I got the cookies and cream (it was fine), coconut (the best), Dulce de leche (a little dense), and sweet egg cream (also delicious). It definitely tasted like Leonard's Hawaii without the more tropical options so I'll be back for these. He also got like the biggest chocolate croissant I've ever seen for $8. There's plenty of sprinkles so it gets messy on that regard, but I wish there was more chocolate in it. Aside from that, they're quick, the service is nice, and the prices are a lot better than I thought they'd be considering this place is connected to a Michelin Star establishment. read more

Wow! I just popped in on this place walking back to my car from eating a late lunch next door. I've seen the lines out the door and down the street before so I thought I would step in and see what they had left. It was almost closing time, but these 3 treats were gold! The pastry was so crunchy and delicious and each of the fillings were amazing. I'll definitely have to come back in the morning one day to get a huge sample of all of their specialties. read more

Looking for pastries? Look no further .. This place has the best pastries in town! Lots of options to choose from, the both the coconut and egg cream malasadas (Portuguese pastry) are amazing. They also have the largest selection of egg cream tarts I've ever seen, different flavors and some even topped with fruits. The service is fast and efficient, and most importantly patient... there is just way too much to choose from. It's a somewhat small store, but you can find street or parking lot parking nearby, a lot of the street parking is 1 hour max, more than enough time to 'grab and go'. Overall a nice little shop with fantastic pastries. read more

Saw this place on Instagram, and had to give it a try! The line was pretty long and moved a bit slowly, but the staff was kind and welcoming, which helped make the wait more bearable. Traditional Pasteis de Nata - The crust was absolutely phenomenal--so crunchy, flaky, and packed with flavor. Honestly, it's one of the best crusts I've ever had, even compared to some spots I visited in Portugal this summer. It brought back fond memories and even surpassed a few of the bakeries I tried there! The custard filling, however, fell a bit short for me. It was smooth and creamy, but the flavor was a bit one-note and lacked the depth I was hoping for. It just tasted sweet with not much flavor. That said, the crust alone makes these pastries worth a high score. If you're a fan of pasteis de nata--or just want to try one with an amazing crust--this place is worth a visit! read more

Six Maldasados for $24. I didn't like the ones I got in Maui, but I thought I'd try again, different time zone and all, especially at this highly rated place (based on reviews and lines). Anyway, these are fat and flavorful, but they're just not for me. The apple cinnamon taste like applesauce (instead of the apple filling I like in bear claws) and the strawberry taste like jam (opposed to actual jelly donuts). I guess I'm just an Americanized oaf, eating sushi with a fork and putting ketchup on my poke. Clean, inviting place with great service and selection. read more

Kudos for the lady to hand me the pre-order. You skip the short line when you pre- order. They got it ready.. Parking is hard. Great to tag team, someone get out of the car to get the order. The egg tart seemed very sweet and starchy. The malasada had lots of filling coming out. It was too sweet also. Out of the four choices, the Nutella was good, others- lemon was next choice good. Caramel was even sweeter. Custard was interesting, not the custard I'm used to. read more

Excellent pastries here. Great service. Limited seating inside but always a great place for pastries.

I was introduced to pastel de nata in Portugal this past year. These are the 1st pastel de nata I've had since my trip and oh boy!! Does this place do it right! They have traditional flavors as well as other kinds such as cinnamon apple, blueberry, strawberry and passion fruit! Can't go wrong with a classic but the cinnamon apple was so delicious! Went on a weekday afternoon so there was no line. Parking in the area can be tricky but there a good amount of street parking if you come at a good time! Not too much seating inside but a lovely ambiance. Staff is sweet and service was quick! Definitely the best pastel de nata in San Jose/South Bay read more

My friend and I had seen this place on IG many months ago, and had been talking about driving down to San Jose just to get these malasadas! I mean, they look drool worthy! Unfortunately, they really didn't live up to the hype. Long story a little shorter, we ended up coming to SJ to do some photography, and incidentally, I realized we were just blocks away from this place, and may as well stop in! After a short line, we ordered: *Coconut malasada - barely tasted the coconut, would have loved more flavor! *Hazelnut chocolate - way too sweet! *Lemon - I love lemon flavor, especially when it's nice and tart. Unfortunately, this was syrupy sweet, so definitely not my favorite! *Sweet egg cream - I liked this one! Though I think I liked it because it was a very mild flavor and fairly airy. I also ordered the passion fruit pastel de nata and this was delicious! Overall, their flavors felt very off - either too sweet or barely there flavors, though the actual malasada is nice and fluffy. Let's go with it just not working with my taste buds? Sadly, won't be going back and really glad I didn't go out of my way to come here. read more

This place has been on my list for awhile but I generally avoid downtown because I hate crowds, traffic, and lack of parking. We wound up parking in a lot maybe two blocks away, not too bad. We just finished a hike and had two hours to kill before meeting up with a friend so decided to head here. We got here maybe 30 minutes before closing and they were still bringing out freshly baked pastries! There was a huge line out the door. My boyfriend patiently waited with me even though he hates lines with a passion and doesn't think any food is worth lining up for. Once inside, the line went more quickly. There are multiple staff members ready to take your order. The blueberry pastel de nata was labeled as chocolate. I asked for the chocolate and the original pasteis de nata and a malasada (bola de berlim). A little disappointed I didn't get the chocolate, but it's whatever. They rang us up quickly and out the door we went. There wasn't really anywhere to enjoy the pastries so we wound up walking to city hall and eating on the steps. Everything was absolutely delicious! Flaky pastries, amazing flavor. The bola de berlim was ooey gooey. Everything hit the spot. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Great Portuguese, strong coffee with milk alternatives like oat milk from Oatly. The malassadas and egg tarts are all amazing and so fresh.

There are tables to enjoy the treats, lunch or coffee right after you order. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

Been wanting to try this place for months and finally had the time before class to try it! We have seen so many videos and tiktoks about this place and it looked so good. Honestly, all those videos are true! It was our first time trying Portuguese pastries and they did not disappoint. Starting off with the picture of various egg tarts(pastel de nata) original, strawberry, passion fruit, and apple cinnamon flavors. The crusts of the tarts were very different from your traditional Asian egg tarts. The crusts are more flakey, airy, and you can really see the layers. The egg custard itself wasn't too sweet and it felt more steamed and jiggly compared to the Asian egg tart which is more dense. It's all up to preference on texture, I personally love the airy-ness and soft texture. All the flavors were good, especially the fruit ones where the fruit didn't overpower the egg custard. Not pictured are the malasadas. We got four flavors, vanilla, sweet egg cream, Nutella, and Dulce de Leche. The sweet egg cream was the best. Unfortunately we could not eat this fresh due to a full stomach but even after we air fried it at home, it was still delicious. Some had a lot more dough than cream but the dough itself was still pretty good. As for service, it was very quick. The employee was very nice and handed our pastries very fast. No wonder there was a line when we arrived. This place is too good! Next time we will try to eat the malasadas fresh! We would definitely come back again :) read more

Saw this spot on social media and decided to visit with a friend. There's no dedicated parking, just street parking, and we waited about 30 minutes in line on a Sunday morning. They have a great selection of pastel de nata, malassada, and other pastries and sandwiches--it's a cute little spot! We shared the Traditional Pastel de Nata ($4), Sweet Egg Cream Malassada ($5), and Pão com Chouriço (Bread with Portuguese Sausage, $6). We loved the pastel de nata--the layers in the pastry were perfect! I wasn't too impressed by the malassada, but that's probably because I'm not a huge fan in general. The bread with Portuguese sausage was okay, but I think it would have been better if it was warmed up. A cool place to check out, and I'll definitely be back for more pastel de nata! read more

I've had many egg tarts, but Pastelaria Adega's selection is definitely top 5! It's super flaky when you take a bite, that it's best to get 6 when you go because they're usually closed Monday-Wednesday. They also have many other baked goods like the almond croissants and malasadas with many flavors! You have to be mindful when you park because it's on a busy street, so your best bet is to get dropped off haha. I'm surely never going there if I'm driving alone because looking for parking can be a headache. Also be mindful during peak hours because lines can form. Luckily when we stopped by there were no lines and still lots of option to choose from. read more

Located in Downtown SJ, hard to find parking around. We had parked elsewhere and walked over around noon on a Sunday. The line was out the door. They have both pastry and sandwich options. The malasadas were running low on flavors when it got to our turn. We ended up picking the coconut malasada and 3 pastel de natas to try. The egg tarts were a bit steep in price at $4 each. We got the traditional, pumpkin, and strawberry. The fillings were very tasty and they had a flaky crust - so good! The strawberry was similar to the traditional just with one piece of strawberry on top. Pumpkin one was filled with pumpkin, really enjoyed it. The malasada was too dense but the filling was pretty good. Don't think I would go for them next time and just stick with the egg tarts. read more

This review is just for the pastel de nata...we got the malasadas too but those were just alright. Pastel de Nata: 5/5 I would drive all the way back to SJ just for this. Super crispy flaky crust even after it sat for a few hours. The filling was delicious and not too sweet. We got a box of 6 for $21 which is a little steep but soooooo worth it. read more
