We stopped here near the end of our day after touring Obidos, Nazare, and Alcobaça. We needed a break so we ordered some pastries and espresso. First off, it was almost impossible to decide WHAT pastries to try because the all looked amazing. Wifey ordered a pastry called Delicia do Convento and I had an Encharcada which is another egg custard recipe. Both were, as expected, amazing. The Portuguese really know how to do pastries. While we saw an amazing and really old monastery in Alcobaça, the half-hour we spent chatting, drinking espresso and tasting pastries was pretty awesome. Pastelaria Alcoa is definitely a place to stop! read more

Had good coffee and orange juice and a small cake 6.45 euros - cake was ok nothing fancy, they have a lot of cakes so hope some of them are more surprising than this. A lot of locals in line, is always a good sign :) read more

We traveled up and down Portugal for a week and this was our favorite pastel de nata! There is a huge variety of things to order and many are aware winning. I would also recommend the chocolate covered orange rinds you can buy by the weight, great for a road trip! The chocolate cake is also very good if you want a break from all the eggy pastries. We had tired a bit of too many egg yolks. read more

Pastelaria Alcôa - Bakeries Near Me - Alcobaça, 10

I was mesmerized when I saw Alcôa's location at Chiado in Lisbon. The sweets looked fabulous, but I had just had dinner, was full, and would not have another opportunity to try their desserts while in Lisbon. It was with delight when visiting Mosteiro de Alcobaça, that I realized Alcôa has a location in Alcobaça as well. There was no way I would miss the opportunity to have one of their sweets again. I actually ordered two! The first one I tried was Pudim São Bernardo, which was very good and reminded me of the Brazilian quindim, very rich, made of sugar and (lots of) eggs. The second one I tried was the award winning Coroa da Abadessa (first prize at the 2017 XIX Mostra Internacional de Doces e Licores Conventuais de Alcobaça); unfortunately, this sweet was a total disappointment; it tasted stale, it was hard, and had no qualities that I could speak of. The store has tables indoors, but there is also plenty of sitting outdoors on the sidewalk at Praça 25 de Abril (April 25th Square). Parking is available around the square. read more

Great little pastry shop worth a stop near Mosteiro de Alcobaça.

Well if you are in the area this seems to be the bakery to go to. Everything is very eye catching, but some items are just so-so. The chocolate soaked cake was very good and sweet, but you'll need time to sit and savor it over a cup of coffee. They don't speak English well, but pointing and showing the number of items you want with your fingers works out well. read more
