This pastry shop is one of the famous chains serving this and I'm glad I was able to try it in Porto. Definitely worth a pop in to have a special treat with coffee and such. This location has seating inside and out. You're definitely gonna stop by after all the shopping and walking you will do since it is in Porto's famous street for shopping!

The ham and cheese cross isn't pastry was like a savory pastel de nata which was good and flakey! The actual egg tart was just OK for us, nothing our favorite of the trip. Coffee was just right too.

I've walked by this place numerous times while in town but today was the day I noticed the…read morefantastic pastries. They were calling my name. In all my years, I had not yet found the perfect Nutella croissant ratio. (Meaning- large portion of nutella with a side of croissant.) Until today. It said chocolate croissant on menu but when I asked Luis, the most helpful employee there (and my new best friend ;) ) if they had one, he advised yes. Ohhh mmm ggg. I found the perfect pastry! My hubby loved his strawberry croissant and americano too. Both of us were in heaven. Went back for dinner and had the traditional meat sandwich francesinha made vegetarian style. Hearty and delicious! Highly recommend this place for pasteries, coffees and traditional Portuguese food. All look spectacular!

This is that bakery in Europe that you picture in your mind that you want to visit! If I lived in…read morePortugal I could easily see myself coming here everyday which would be a good issue to have on many levels. They arguably serve the best Pastel de Natals that I've ever tasted and if you're here then do yourself a favor and stop by! The good news is that if you don't find seating inside then there's plenty of seating outside as well. The staff is so friendly and helpful. If you have enough room for more after the pastel de natals then I suggest you try some of their cream filled croissants!

Trigo Doce, is a small mom & pop Portuguese pastry shop located across the Dom Luís Bridge on the Gaia side (upper deck). Skip the lattes, a coffee "bica" here gives you a straight up espresso and if you're wanting milk, they'll add just a drop "pingado". The pastry selection is incredible & all enticing. I did a good tour with Eating Europe, and this was our first stop. I got to try the Bispo, a Portuguese pastry made with coconut cream and custard/egg yolk. It wasn't overly sweet, which is exactly how I enjoy my desserts!

Located near the Lion's Fountain and one street over from the University of Porto, this place must do some good business with all the foot traffic in the area. Since we weren't 'hungry' and just wanted to try sometime we decided on a Pastel de Nata (an egg custard pastry) and a Castanhas de Ovos (another sweet egg yolk and flour treat). Both were very good, but a little less sweet than what we had in Lisbon. I preferred the ones in Lisbon...Wifey loved these.

The savory pastry remined me how lot of Asian pastries and bakery would make it. I guess that is how European culture influenced the east. I love how this cafe has many choices of savory and sweet bakery. The lanche misto has a good combination of ham and salami and cheese. Giving a good moisture and texture along with the oiliness and flavor which made it so tasty. The cafe would warm it up for us and bring to our table. The overall service here is simple and you have to find your seat along with a patio outside near a beautiful church. We also tried the cured ham toast which also was very tasty too, with a generous amount of cured ham added to it, yielding a flavorful bite with simplicity. What I found needing would be the coffee beverage, which clearly not their expertise. To sum up, a simple breakfast here with simple food and a good value.

This is probably more a 3-star, but with so so so many places serving up the Portuguese Egg Tarts…read more(Pastel de Nata), the tarts here simply pale in comparison, and the egg tarts are what their claim to fame is supposedly for. Oddly, the flakiness was inconsistent, as parts were flaky and parts were not. Also, the custard seemed as it had been sitting out for a while. It hadn't gone bad, but just didn't taste super fresh. When you've had ones that are super fresh, you can taste the difference right off the bat. I was attracted to Casa das Tortas mainly because there was a huge sign saying that they were celebrating their 125th year in business. I thought, wow, with 125 years under their belt, this place should be great. Alas, it wasn't, in any way. Not a particularly pleasant place to sit, and nothing special about the service. I should've known better when I didn't see any lines, or barely any people inside. We've been burned before in Barcelona, and even at home, when we've selected places just because they've been around forever. Old doesn't necessarily mean great or even good in any way. Sometimes it just means just old, in every way. Save your time, money and calories and head over to nearby Fabrica da Nata instead, where I saw lots of peoples and a nice little line, which moved very quickly. Most importantly, at Fabrica da Nata is where I had my best Portuguese Egg Tart, to date. I

Prices are ok, they only accept cash and no credit cards. Service was fast and efficient, speak English probably due to all the tourists in the area. Overall pleasant experience.
