Easter weakened and this place was buzzing and it's easy to see why. Lovely place and staff. We had coffee and cheese and ham croissants. Would loved to have taken a picture of the front display but it was so busy. Enjoy

Nice neighborhood cafe. Good food and friendly service.

Great local café with lots of food options and yummy pizza. They also offer daily lunch menus. The staff is nice and friendly.

It has a been a while that I was looking for a nice piece of cake. Today we went out for breakfast and we had a ham and cheese toast, a toast with butter and an amazing delicious nut and egg cream piece of cake. It is fair price for the quality of the food, the quality of the service and the overall ambiance. Will return!!! Lovely looking cakes, delicious cake! The americano and the orange juice were also nice. The cappuccino was a bit different, with a lot of chocolate. But tasty

Amazing local cafe with a wide variety of pastries and cakes. We enjoyed the Brigadeiro cake and the Walnut cake and they were both absolutely amazing. I can also recommend their Pastel de Tentugal!

Following a 6-month face-lift, this iconic café was reopened two months ago. An inviting ambience. A wide variety of delicacies, ranging from cottage-made chocolates and ice-creams to traditional pastry that has been a legacy from nuns who lived in convents. Kind staff. Fairly high prices. Good service. Tasty pizzas and assorted salads.

Great spot for a coffee at the outdoor tables. Good service and clean restroom

This must be a hub for the local community - arrived just as it was opening it's doors and a steady stream of folks came in, beautiful decor, easy going music, couldn't have planned it better ! Helpful staff and the food - watching staff bringing out plates of freshly baked goodies.....had to taste several of the Conventual treats.....amazing !!!!
