Uma Experiência Vegan Inesquecível: Sabor, Ambiente e Música em Perfeição - Edit
"Que lugar incrível! Um verdadeiro paraíso vegan. O ambiente é super acolhedor, com uma decoração encantadora que combina perfeitamente com a música de blues suave que cria uma atmosfera relaxante e única. A pastelaria é simplesmente de outro mundo, com uma qualidade que se nota em cada detalhe, e a comida é uma verdadeira obra-prima – fresca, saborosa e feita com muito carinho. Os ovos vegan são um espetáculo à parte, de tão saborosos que são! Recomendo a todos que procuram uma experiência gastronómica memorável. Com certeza, um espaço que conquista a alma e o paladar."

Saber que os nossos “ovos” vegan e as natas conquistaram o teu paladar é a melhor recompensa. Volta sempre que quiseres, a casa é tua! 🌱

Great vegan restaurant - Edit
I came here to check it out and ended up getting a Nutella croissant and a latte. The menu seemed kinda scarey cas it had all these meat names.. but I know its fully vegan. Im gonna come back and try some real food but also more pastries. One of my favorite parts was its super close to the botanical gardens and I got to go for a walk after and was so beautiful there

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words! 💛 We get it — the menu can sound a bit wild with all those “meaty” names, but we promise it’s all 100% plant-based! Just a bit of fun with the naming 😄 So glad you loved the Nutella croissant and latte — and got to enjoy a beautiful walk at the gardens after. Come back soon, there’s lots more sweet and savoury goodness waiting for you! 🌿

Less variety than one year ago - Edit
Last year I loved this place as they had many portuguese treats made plant-based. Today they hadn‘t milfolhas among others. They had mostly filled croissants, which wasn‘t what we were looking for 🥲. Still, it was ok.

Welcoming and friendly, delicious food - Edit
We decided to check out the place since I am vegan and was visiting Porto. I wanted to get some pastries like croissants, but ended up eating a vegan Portuguese stew which was delicious! They had a few different options of vegan traditional Portuguese dishes which I really like as someone who often can't eat traditional dishes when I travel. We also bought some croissants and they were delicious. They also had traditional Portuguese pastry Nata which I unfortunately did not try as well as some other yummy looking pastries. I definitely recommend this place if you are visiting Porto and are vegan or just want to try out a place with a nice atmosphere and nice staff. We talked to the owner/one of the owners(?) a bit afterwards and she informed us about some of the dishes. Everyone was very nice and I can't recommend this place more!

More than an amazing bakery - Edit
Padoca is more than just an amazing bakery – it’s a place full of flavor and kindness! The food is absolutely delicious, made with care and dedication, and the service is impeccable. They are true professionals, but above all, wonderful people!
Read moreI was lucky to experience their generosity when they kindly donated to a charity event for a non-profit animal organization. Without hesitation, they stepped up to help, showing that success is also about kindness and community support. In a world where every act of generosity counts, their gesture made all the difference.
They truly deserve all the success and recognition! If you’re looking for great food and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend them. 💛🐾
APADOCA
Wow… Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such beautiful words! 💛 Knowing that our food and space brought you joy already fills us with gratitude — but having our mission to support causes we care about, like animal welfare, acknowledged so kindly is truly touching. We truly believe that cooking with love and acting with compassion go hand in hand. Thank you for being part of this special community. We hope to welcome you back soon — this is your home too! 🌱

Very pricey and not amazing - Edit
Very friendly service but the food itself was very pricey (all breakfast dishes 15€) and the food was rather disappointing. The French toast was very sour because of the sour berries, the eggs didn't taste at all like eggs.

Cons: Pricey, Food not amazingly tasting
