Classic egg tart is worth to try!1 for 4$. If u are in this area, just try.

Heard this was an authentic Portuguese spot so wanted to check it out. They don’t let you go in the store due to an ongoing lawsuit which is bizarre but all good. The empanada type pastry was nicely done. They also had another beef pie with a flaky crust which had a different name. I wasn’t too impressed with the place. The meat pastries were good but not spectacular. Maybe they have other stuff that is better. 3 stars.

Delicious original pasteis de Nata! Very fast as well and I will definitely be back! Also they sell them frozen so you can take lots home!

Beautifully tasty and fresh pastel de natas. I tried the passion fruit flavour which was tangy but not overpowering. At $4 per nata they are a little expensive (compared to 1euro in portugal) but not shockingly expensive. This place also serves Portugese sodas and drinks.

A fresh made Portuguese tart is interesting, new, unique and tasty. The first time I tried the tart it was fresh. Crispy edges and warm middle, with a hint of cinnamon sprinkled on top. New prices are $4/ tart (March 2023).I came back 3 days later to get 6 tarts for $20 and it was close to closing and wasn’t fresh anymore. That was no crunchiness, it was just soft. And the cinnamon and detailing of the powdered sugar was barely present.
