Scoop 'n Dough is a must-try place! As a vegan, sweets and pastries don't come around often, so I…read morewas thrilled to find this place on Yelp. I visited the store Sunday afternoon, it is a small and brightly lit area, with a kitchen in the back and display cabinets in the front. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who promptly took my order and started preparing it. The selection is incredible - all vegan! The donuts were the thickest I've ever seen, and the ice cream options were amazing. My mission was to get donuts since we were leaving early the next morning for Porto. With over a dozen different styles to choose from, I ended up with two Madagascar Vanilla glazed, one raspberry (red berry) with cream glaze and blueberry filling, and one Chocolate glaze with Chocolate Ganesh filling. These donuts are to die for! The yeast-raised donuts are about 2 to 3 inches tall, and the fillings and glazes are bursting with flavor. They're not too sweet, and you can immediately tell what flavors they have. They were the best donuts I've ever had, hands down. I can't wait to go back to Lisbon and try more of these delicious treats!

This appears to be a local shop with a few locations in the Lisbon area and one in Cascais. We…read moredidn't get to visit the Cascais location because it was closed. The location we visited was in Marvila. It was a little more pricey than I expected but the vegan donuts and vegan ice cream were really good. I was hoping to get a bit more ice cream for the price but the single scoop was more like a kid scoop size. It was good! The service was good as well. There was a small area to sit. It was located within what seemed like a plant and home decor store, very interesting but great people watching! Glad we tried it and would definitely visit again.

Amorino Gelato on Augusta Street is a must stop for anyone with a sweet tooth, and the line out the…read moredoor tells you everything you need to know. Despite the crowd, the service moved surprisingly fast and the whole experience felt well organized. You pay based on cone size rather than by the scoop, which means you can load up on flavors without the guilt of counting portions. I went with pistachio, mango and blueberry cheesecake, and the combination worked beautifully. What really sets Amorino apart is the presentation, the staff shape the gelato into a stunning flower design that almost feels too pretty to eat. I also grabbed a Nutella crepe which was every bit as good as it sounds. Beyond the gelato there are plenty of options to explore including their famous macarons, so it is worth taking a moment to browse before you order. If you are walking through the Baixa area, this is an easy and very rewarding detour.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Leave it to me to find an Amorino on my first night in Lisboa. We were walking from Prãca de…read moreComercio and stumbled upon this gem. I frequent the one in the ROD so it was not a shock when I dragged my friends in. It's the exact playbook as the one in Houston. You get in line, place your order and then choose your flavours. I went with my good ole faithful waffle with two scoops (hazelnut chocolate and salted caramel) of gelato and topped it off with hazelnut drizzle. The total was about $6.40 which is way cheaper than it is in the states. It was just as delicious and very much worth it. It's easy to find in you're in the Baixa area of Lisboa. Just follow the path.

I thought after Pasteis de Belem I wasn't going to get a pastel de nata that good again, but that's…read moreuntil I came here. The one from here was absolutely amazing. The layers of pastry on the outside were super thick - the most amount of layers I've seen on the double-digit ones that I've eaten. This makes the crunch earth-shattering, but still so easy to bite through. The pastry layers cascade down into the center, creating ripples of individual crunches along the way that is so immensely satisfying to consume. But what's truly spectacular is the inside. Upon the first bite, the custardy center oozes out like molten lava. You better make sure you have a plate under this, because the bright yellow goo is as addicting to taste as it is dangerous to your hands or clothing. The flavor is simply perfect - just the right amount of sweetness, citrus, and egginess. It's honestly unbelievable how good and irresistible this is. Comparing it to Pasteis de Belem, I think I would actually put this slightly over. The extra layers and the more liquidy center just do it for me. That's an iconic place, but comparing simply on what I liked better, I think this takes the cake (or tart). Overall, pretty close to the best baked good I've ever had. 9.75/10

So this is a delayed review--going thru my drafts and trying to write the ones I missed a while…read moreback! Came in April 2022 for a light morning snack based on seeing good reviews. Based on the items I ordered, everything was just passable. Maybe I'm not really appreciating the difference in textures between similar pastries in different countries, but even compared to several other bakeries and cafes in Lisbon, this was my least favorite. (Overall outside of pasteis de nata, I found pastries and baked goods in Portugal to be a bit drier, breadier, and sweeter than some other countries.) The chocolate croissant I ordered used melted chocolate sprinkles on top and inside, and the bread was laminated on the outside but kinda dense and dry on the inside, no airy pockets, just bready. The palmier tasted a bit stale, like when a crispy cookie has been sitting out and softened. The croquettes were average. The espresso was pretty normal. I sat outside since it was a nice day, they had a number of tables and patrons dining outside. They seemed to be understaffed bc it took a while for the server to come out and take my order, though the food came pretty quickly once ordered. Inside it's a very old-school feel, very ornate with many mirrors and liquor shelves along the wall. Not sure about prices now though will say in 2022 they were very reasonable.
