Nice breakfast - Edit
Very cute place, has some seating indoors, a sit down menu in addition to the pastries you can get to go.
Read moreHouse bread with garlic spread and strawberry jam - wonderful, but not at the same time!
Plain croissant - somewhere in between cake and croissant, pretty good.
Avocado Toast and Ricotta Toast were both good, but not more than that. Both came garnished with peanuts, which was not mentioned on the menu.

Expensive and disappointing - Edit
This was such a let down. The cappuccino tasted like the coffee was a bit burned. The eggs Benedict was more like a dessert. The ‘eggs’ were cold, as they seem to be made of cream that needs to be kept cold to keep the rounded shape. The ‘hollandaise sauce’ was good but it had peanuts in it. The bread was very sweet. So there was nothing savory about it, the eggs were cold and the whole thing was sweet like a dessert.
Read moreThe pastry area looked very nice.
Everything is on the expensive side.

I'm sorry you didn't like it. If we had known, we would have recommended something different. I hope you come back to try our pastry.

So many options - Edit
Edit: careful if you have a nut allergy or dislike walnuts, as they used them for garnish for everything
Read moreThey had so many things to choose from: loads of pastries, a selection of chocolates, a brunch menu… the portions were very big, perhaps too big, as only one of us managed to finish their breakfast. I was excited to try their vegan eggs but I must admit I didn’t love them. I found eggs benedict better than the eggs used in the shakshuka but they tasted more like cream than eggs to me. Also, it was quite pricy compared to other places I’ve had breakfast at in Portugal. Nevertheless, I think it’s worth a visit

Pros: Good selection, Sweets look amazing, Unique
Cons: Pricy, especially some drinks, Didn’t really like the ‘eggs’, Probably much food waste due to large portions

Don't miss it! - Edit
Lovely vegan bakery offering a range of pastries, savoury calzones and a small menu of breakfast/ brunch items.
Read moreWe had the eggplant parmegiana calzone which had so much filling and tasted lovely. The bread was quite sweet which might be a bit much if you're not into a sweet dough, but none the less, was still great.
The pasta del Nata's were amazing, a bit more runny than others I tried but I actually preferred this.
We only went here on our last day so disappointed I didn't try the croissants which looked incredible.

Best salad I’ve had in Portugal! I’d rate it 5 stars but it was a little salty for my taste. My companion enjoyed the ‘Big Mac’ pastry. Service was friendly and good, but slow. Lots of baked goods.

Extraordinary! A pastry heaven! - Edit
Literally incredible. A vegan’s dream! Huge pastries (savoury and sweet), amazing breakfasts, chocolates, cookies, milkshakes, juices etc.
Read moreBig shoutout to the ‘Eggs Benedict’ which featured these insane vegan ‘boiled eggs’ and a yummy sauce. Visited twice in total and we also had chocolate/Nutella/Bueno croissants, a Napoleão pastry (flaky layered pastry) and some savoury pastries called the calzoni and big mac.
The staff were super friendly and I’m going to miss this place a lot! Thank you for a wonderful experience ❤️

Vegan versions of traditional pastries - Edit
If you want to try traditional portuguese pastries and cakes, this place has a lot of variety (pastel de nata, napoleão, jesuíta, even travesseiros de Sintra) and they are genuinely tasty. We had the pastel de nata and the bolo de arroz and both were good. Service is also super nice and staff is really kind, giving you water reffils before you even ask. However, I will say that the prices are extremely high: 3€ for a bolo de arroz is really expensive and 2€ for the pastel de nata (total amount was 12,90€ with two cappuccinos). I don't think I'll be going back but if you really want to try a lot of vegan portuguese café items this is the place to go.
