I have driven past here for nearly three years and finally had a chance to stop in. It did not disappoint. Fantastic selection of cakes and a wonderful, friendly service. I tried two different cakes (the large coconut slice in the pic and two large pastel de maras to take home) and had a latte, both of which were amazing. I will be coming back to try more of the cakes!

Always great to have an expresso and a Pastel de nata or a Portuguese savoury fishcake.

Highly recommended! A small little cafe that serves great food and coffee! Staff is super friendly. They accommodated our gluten, dairy, eggs and nut allergy requirement. The highlight for me was the octopus lagareiro, beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned with a very generous amount of olive oil.
