Bolos levedos are like an english muffin but so much better. They are light, fluffy and slightly sweet. We tried different bolos levedos breakfast sandwiches like egg, local goat cheese and a chorizo and cheese. You can't go wrong with any of these, you just choose the filling that you prefer for a sandwich. We liked the chorizo cheese one the most because it was warmed and pressed like a panini. We also tried some other sweet desserts that were in the display which were also good. Tasty, affordable, causal start to your adventures in Furnas. There are also lots of tables and seating!

My sister tried the gf coconut bread/cake and she said it was good. I did not try it as it had eggs. The lady at the counter was nice, she helped us as we were not very familiar with some of the items on the menu. It's a very peaceful place. There's tables outside under gazebo or tables under umbrellas. They have outdoor bathrooms and a very beautiful landscape with magnificent views of the mountains, giving it a tropical vibe. Only thing is when you arrive it does get a bit confusing bc there's really no big signs showing the name of the business and it's a typical home and the business is in the back of the house. You'll have to look for the name of the business on the wall of the driveway. Parking is on the side of the road or then on the street in front of the home/business there is parking spots there.

If there's only one meal that you must have while on the island, this is certainly the one... so if you're reading this, trust me and make a reservation now! When we arrived, we were handed a map and given the option to walk around and explore the farm either before or after our meal. If you're coming for a later dinner, I'd recommend walking around first so you can explore the farm grounds while the sun is still out. Such a fun way to get acquainted with the rustic charm of our surroundings to kick off the night! According to the owner, they are constantly changing up the menu so no matter how many times you visit, each time will be an entirely unique dining experience... so I won't go into too many details but our selection of the day included: pea soup, salad, fish, roasted duck, and finished off with a decadent chocolate pastry/sorbet combo. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted like a hearty homemade dish prepared with ingredients of the utmost freshness and quality. This was such a fun way to get a taste of local cuisine right from the source, and you can tell that this restaurant is a labor of love -- the owners and servers clearly take pride in the quality of ingredients in the way they walk you through each course in detail. Idk where else in the world you'd be able to find such a deliciously hearty and wholesome 6-course meal with farm-fresh, quality ingredients for 60 euros... if you do, please LMK but in the meantime do yourself the biggest favor and make this a priority while you're visiting Sao Miguel!

The menu was a surprise farm to table meal with 6 courses. All the food was the freshest used by…read morethe family. The dishes were artfully put together with many tasty ingredients. Each course tasted amazing. We did the wine pairing and all the types of wines served added to the flavors of the dish. Great presentation by the chef. We are outside during a rain storm and the weather further added to the ambiance of the meal. Servers were right on top of everything but they didn't push you to eat quickly and there was no rush. It actually was delightful to take our time and have a great family conversation. Both grandkids, 12 and 10 enjoyed each course. They were very willing to try the variety of the dishes served. The servers knew what was in each dish including the seasonings. Fabulous experience by the whole family. Highly recommend this family run restaurant.

Very busy, charming bakery/coffee shop along the water! We just wanted a few pastel de natas, but…read morethe water insisted we sit and they will serve it to us, which was nice. There were indoor and outdoor tables, but we decided to sit inside since it was a little cold and rainy. We ordered the plain pastel de natas and they were delicious and flaky. My only wish is that they were served a little warm and they could've been even better. Once you're finished, you go up to the cash register to pay with the receipt the waiter gives you. Even though it was busy and there was a line, it moved quickly since they were hustling.

The outside was crispy and inside was filled with moist custard. We came here 3 times while staying in Ponta Delgada and the eggtarts were consistently good each day. They sometimes have eggtarts with chocolate which are also yummy. We tried a few of the other pastries that were in the clear case, but my favorite was always the eggtarts. The pastries in the clear casing can vary day to day so try the treat you want because they might not have it the next day!

Queijadas are sold throughout the island. The first time I had them, I didn't buy it directly from…read morethe factory so I'm not sure how long they've been sitting out (they are supposedly good for 20 days). I thought they were just ok. However, my friend and I happened to pass by the factory when we were on our way to another destination, so we decided to stop in to see the factory. The factory itself isn't that big (takes about a few seconds to see the whole thing). Because we saw the ladies wrapping the freshly made queijadas, we decided to order some coffee and try the queijadas there. The difference in the texture and taste of the freshly made queijadas vs the one I bought at the cafe (also from this factory) was HUGE! The freshly made one tasted delicious! Highly recommend coming here to try this Portuguese pastry with some coffee! You won't regret it!

These little dense egg yolk cakes are a yummy sweet breakfast and a specialty of the island that all visitors need to try. The queijadas were delicious and we came back another day for more and to buy a box to bring home (sold in souvenir boxes of 6 or 12). This place may be cash only, not completely sure. When we were there at 9am when they first opened we were able to watch the staff wrapping all the individual queijadas. There was also a big bus of tourists that was dropped off right at 9am and they flooded in the small place to all buy pastries, so keep that in mind when planning your stop here - not sure if this is something that happens every morning. You order everything at the counter and there are a few tables inside and some tables out on the patio as well. When I went back it was around 2 pm and there were only a few other people there.
