“I have tried my Portugese tarts in Portugal but the tarts here are one of the top two best places in my opinions
The Pastel de Nata pastry was fresh and flaky and crispy, the filling was light, soft and also creamy, not too sweet like some other places. I ate one there and took one away to eat on the Camino and the pastry stayed crispy till later in the day. Coffee was divine

“This is an outstanding stop on the Camino Portuguese - an unassuming cake shop with magnificent cakes and delicious fuel for the pilgrim. After dancing up and down through the houses in the woods this is a very welcome stop in Ancona. I was slow out of Viana do castelo today and it took me 5 hours to reach here. Had I known how tasty the cakes were I might've just got a train straight here. When I come back to do the Portuguese way I will miss out the first stretch out of Viana and get the train one town up. It's a beautiful walk on the hills and fairly shaded. You get great views of the sea and then wonderful Cake shops like this to fortify the body for the next shift to Caminha. Thank you.“

It has a wide variety of dry sweets, biscuits, traditional pastries and savory cakes - be careful with the spicy samosas (they are really spicy, but they have a non-spicy option).

There is also a variety of snacks (fast food, sandwiches), with emphasis on prego na bread: it is served on a huge rustic loaf, including omelet, cheese, ham, tomato, bacon and lettuce. It’s perfect for sharing, as it’s very generous.

After some communication hurdles we managed to get our order across and overall waited for about 15 min from sitting down to having our drinks served.(And yess we were german pilgrims, I really don't know where this nationality thing, everyone in the reviews writes about, is coming from since there was no different treatment for us.)We didn't have any food so I can't leave a statement on that. The prices were actually pretty low (at least for the rather simple drinks)Overall a pleasant experience in a very nice surrounding!

“Luckily for me, the only thing that might have been missing would have been a small slice of lemon with the squid to round things off a bit (as a little suggestion)...there were two of us and we shared a whole ? portion and took it with us mixed salad ? and a large bottle of water paid a total of 38€ euros. We were probably the first guests this evening and the food came pretty quickly. The squid was perfectly tender and cooked to perfection. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. ✨“
