Got to say that I am not a huge pastry fan, which makes this five star review for this little…read morepastry shop extra special. This bakery is the quintessential Lisbon gem, a shop that is loaded with traditional goodies that you can only find in Portugal. From almond cakes to egg cream pastries to chicken stuffed rolls, it is all good enough to make your head spin. I really like their savory chicken-stuffed rolls, for it was just like eating a chicken pot pie back in the States, only this little flavor morsel was served cold. I actually thought that this made for a better snack, allowing the chicken and chicken fat to congeal into the consistency of pate of chopped chicken liver. All I can say is that it is a good thing they we don't have anything like this back home, for it would be the end of me. With savory treats described above and prices beyond imagination (six world class pastries and coffee for two people at just under 8 euros) it is hard to imagine a better breakfast outing.

Located in a local neighborhood close to Amoreiras, lots of locals stop in for a quick cafe and pastry breakfast. The bakery is small but filled with all sorts of yummy goodies. There are no seats inside but you can stand with the locals and have your breakfast standing up either along the counter or on the small wood counter towards the back. Prices are super cheap too! We had a bacalhau fritter for under 1 euro! Not much English spoken but if you can point you can order with no problem. So glad we found this bakery!

I love this place. I've had breakfast here four times in the last four days. Pastries are delicious…read moreand house-made. Very friendly atmosphere. Locals stream in, have a quick coffee at the counter, gossip, laugh, and then head on to work. Don't worry if you don't speak Portuguese. The employees don't seem to speak much English but just point to what you want. A smile always helps too. Coffee is really good and strong.

Pastelaria Camões was busy when we stopped by around 10:30. I like to think that when a place is…read morebusy, it usually means it good. Now I've definitely been proven wrong before but not this time. We sat at a table and were waited on right away. The server was attentive and made suggestions when we weren't sure which pastries to order. The coffee was exactly as expected. The pastries fresh and delicious.

Born in Cascais, with a few locations in Lisbon, Sacolinha Pastelaria e Padaria is a bustling…read moreBakery offering a diverse selection of sweets including those common and a few rarely seen elsewhere. Best known for Dulce de Leche Croissants and Bolo de Bolacha, the latter sold per kilo and a bit too much for one, it was after a cursory perusal that selections were made, the Pastel de Nata room temperature but nicely charred with flaky Crust around Custard while elongated Choux containing Cream and Fruit ate something like an Éclair with more textural elements but less sweetness. Continuing strong with a Sugar-coated Palmier, the base a bit less crisp than others, the same cannot be said of Sacolinha's Mil Folhas which is a multi-layered masterpiece of Egg Custard, Frosting and paper-thin Pastry better than any other tasted in Portugal.

I experienced terrible service at this place and that made me a little mad…read more I was starving after walking for hours, so I saw this cute place in my way and looked nice. With tables inside and all. When I ordered the three things I wanted, the lady tried to tell me to seat down so the can take the food to my place. They finally did, after like 8 minutes. Well, those 3 pastries I ordered were dry, cold, and not tasty. They were incapable to heat up an empanada and the other two pastries I got. On top of that, when I went to pay, they did not accept credit card, only cash.

If you plan to order the Complete Menu, be warned that the burgers do not count as a main dish…read more I had the brie crepe and it was literally slices of brie with honey and walnuts thrown inside a crepe. The brie was not even melted (which is what I thought it would be) so it was such a weird thing to eat. There were also far too many walnuts. I ended up taking the brie slices out and just straight up eating them as is. I got the Complete Menu so I also had the juice of the day (strawberry lemonade), coffee and cake with my meal. The lemonade was tart and refreshing. The cake was carrot cake but it didn't taste like that at all -- it was still good though. I think if I had something else (like one of the burgers) I would've enjoyed this spot more.

The location is quiet and spacious, there's free 5G WiFi and it's close to the metro station. The menu is all in Portuguese, but the wait staff is friendly and can help with translation.
