Fat and not tasty pastry

We took croissant and pastel de nata and couldn't finish it. Croissant was just a strange, not puff, pie with apples and pastel de nata was highly fat, also not puff and burnt😒Really dissapointed

Has some vegan options

This is a traditional Portuguese coffee place with quite a few vegan options like pastel de nata and chocolate croissants. The vegan options were twice more expensive than the regular ones. Cool that they have options, however won't make it to my must visit again list.

Cons: Vegan options twice more expensive

Sweet tooth

I’ve got one and this filled it. Clearly labeled vegan options made me feel safe. The only one when I arrived late in the day was the chocolate filled croissant. It was just what my tired body needed after a long day hiking around Lisbon.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options , Delicious!

A Shame :(

This place seems to have quite a few options for vegan pastries, including the pastel de nata. However it tasted pretty disgusting and not like the real thing, with some gross after taste!😒it was kinda pricey too.

There's now at least two or three other fully vegan places offering a vegan version nearby which are much better and so I'll probably never return here to try anything else. All the other vegan things were always sold out here the three times I've walked past.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Pastel de nata was disgusting, Vegan stuff always sold out

Vegan pastel de nata

Worth going here for the vegan pastel de nata, although it is more expensive than other places. The vegan pizza was also good, but it was just a pizza without cheese which you could order at any pizza place, so it was pretty overpriced. They had lots of vegan options, and they were clearly marked

Vegan pizza was bad

This is not a good place to go. The food is bad. At least the lunch, dinner. Sweets maybe nice. But the vegan pizza was not worth the money at all.

Well priced and an actually good take of classic pastel de nata. Won't change your life, but very satisfying.

Don't go here for the vegan pastries

Was interested in this place because they sell vegan pastries, but was very disappointed. The pastel de nata had a very bad after taste and the "croissant" was so dense that it was more like a brick in my stomach. The soy milkshake was warm. Only good thing was the freshly pressed juice.

I noticed an after taste too, a bit like soap. I wouldn't recommend this place

Amazing pastel de nata

Clearly marked vegan items, as well as gluten free.
I had the Pastel de nata which was amazing and vegan, and quinoa salat which was not more than OK.
All&all I would definitely go there to grab a vegan pastry.

Pros: Pastries

Cons: Expensive, The place designed like a fast food din

Out of my way to come here

I’m not a dessert or sweets eater, but I’m in Portugal. I thought I should try something. I made my way over here because I felt that I should. Did not disappoint. The pastel de nata, very yummy! It’s vegan and gluten-free, made with soy which I try to avoid, but… When in Rome… very nice flavor. I also got an apple pastry. Would’ve liked to have had more apple in it, but it was OK.

vegan pasteis de nata

tried the vegan pastei de nata, didn’t like it a lot. Couldn’t even finish it. The taste was pretty off and it’s nothing as good as the real one.

Pros: cheap

Cons: bad taste

Pasteis de nata

We had the portugese custard tarts "pasteis de nata" which were good. Not excatly the same as I remember the original ones though. They also had vegan croissants.

Pros: Vegan clearly labled, Close to trainstation, Good coffee with almond milk

Cons: Only cash, no card payment, Staff could be nicer

Not great

Got the stir fried veggies w/ tofu (boiled veggies with oil, too much salt and sesame seeds with zero other flavour and fried tofu) and the hamburger w/ fries. but actually getting vegan pastries is a good option. We only tried the custard tart and found it tasty but we have nothing to compare it too.

Pros: Caters to vegans and gf, Offers vegan pastries

Cons: Lacklustre burger and flavourless salty veggies, Vegan bakery items also all gf (we prefer gluten)

Good vegan bakery/ pasteis de nata

They have the famous pasteis de nata, which is very tasty :). They dont have the same bakery every day, also tried the 'bolo de Berlín' filled with chocolate and the filling was superb.

Pros: Many vegan pastries

Cons: A bit pricey
