Picked up some pastries yesterday and they were delicious! Tried Lemon, Vanilla and plain one along with the Strawberry. The location is not ideal because there is no parking in front of the store. But luckily they offer DoorDash.One challenge I noticed is that the shot opens at 9:30 which is a bit late for a bakery. Eliminates my change to have the pasteries delivered for a meeting that starts at 9 am!Parking: There is a bus stop in front of the shop and the best option for parking is to drive to 4th street and use the 5 story parking space there! But it’s a brisk 5 block away from the shop!

They make an authentic, delicious Portuguese pastel de nata. That crispy-flaky-crunchy-but-firm shell filled with sweet pastry cream goodness, slightly caramelized at the top. The pastel comes in many flavors but I go for plain. They also make good malasadas and bolo de arroz with the old school paper sleeve! Thank you for bringing a slice of Portuguese cuisine to our community. I wish they were right at San Pedro Square so they could get the foot traffic they deserve. I wish them continued success so we can enjoy their baked goods for a long time in San Jose.

very cramped environment with no pleasant place to sit and consume the products. Lack of product constantly poor organization in product distribution. And I don't know how this business is still standing with all this failure.

Delicious! Brought me back to my grandma's kitchen. We tried a variety and loved everything. I definitely recommend ordering ahead to avoid the line.

Got a coconut and matcha malassada, both full of tastiness, soft, fresh and warm along with a passion fruit soda. They have other options to eat. Although the location is small the place is clean and welcoming. You can take out or eat there, they have some tables available. Also people who work there are very friendly and helpful. Will be back for more.

Super slow service but amazing food. Balance in the universe. Not sure why it takes so long since they already had the pastries made. The egg tarts 9/10. Malassada 10/10

it's ok. the flakiness and warmth compensates for the lack of good flavors.

Natas are yummy but this place could use help of an extra employee or two.

Disappointing experience. Despite arriving an hour before closing, the limited options left much to be desired. After waiting for around 30 minutes, I received an average-tasting donut and an egg tart that was disappointingly small. While the egg tart was decent, the lemon massaladas lacked the promised flavor, tasting more like a standard donut from Krispy Kreme. Overall, the experience fell short of my high expectations.
Very poorly made malasada. Not worth the hype. I wouldn’t waste my time going here!

The Masaladas were amazing and the cream was buttery smooth! The surface was slow, because there was only one person taking the order. But would definitely recommend.Kid-friendliness: Kids would definitely enjoy the sweets

Busy, selection was limited, employees seem deeply disinterested in serving you. But the deserts are the best.

Really nice egg tart. Btw, this one is associated with 1-star Michelin restaurant of Portugal food.
