Espresso, flat whites and everything in between, made with care. Have it at a table or take it with you on the way into town.

Our famous pastel de nata: crisp, flaky pastry around a soft custard centre. Next to it on the counter, more Portuguese pastries to go with your coffee.

Breakfast, brunch & lunch
From the first coffee at 8am through to lunchtime. Start the day early with us, or take your time over a late brunch at the weekend.
04
Homemade Portuguese dishes
Cooked fresh in our kitchen, the way it is done at home in Portugal. Real food, made by hand, served without fuss.
05
Dine-in & takeaway
Sit in and stay a while in a warm, friendly room, or order to take away. Either way, the food is the same.

The pastel de nata people come back for

Crisp, flaky layers. A soft, rich custard. A top caramelised until it has those dark spots. It is the taste of every Portuguese café, and it is the one thing we would ask you not to leave without.

Best eaten warm, with a coffee, at one of our tables. Or take a box home.
