"Update: I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but my recent experiences have been disappointing. For two consecutive weekends, I was seated outside under less-than-ideal conditions. Last weekend, I ended up with a sunburn because the staff member was unable to properly adjust the umbrella. This weekend, I was initially placed at another outdoor table without any shade. When I requested to be moved indoors or to a shaded table, I was told there would be a wait, which I accepted. However, after finally being seated and placing our order, I noticed another table that arrived after us received their food, finished their meal, while we were still waiting. I had to go inside to check on our order, and only then was it brought out promptly. Unfortunately, the service over these two visits has not reflected the standard I’ve come to expect. Given the consistent issues, I’ve decided it’s best to take a break from this establishment for the time being. Hopefully they are able to make some adjustments. ————————————————————— We’re confident in saying we’re regulars here. Tia’s is hands-down our go-to brunch spot! The food is always delicious, the vibes are cozy, and the service is top-tier. We’ve never had a bad waitress; everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Let’s talk about the lattes!!! My personal latte ranking: 1) Malassadas Latte 2) Bolacha Maria Latte 3) Pastel de Nata Latte – yes, it actually comes with a pastel de nata on top 😍 They offer dairy substitutes like oat and almond milk, which is a lifesaver for my fellow lactose-intolerant folks! Their brunch specials never miss. I still think about their avocado toast they had a while back. Can’t wait for it to come back! And don’t even get me started on the French toast. The dulce de leche version was incredible, and this weekend’s Madeira wine French toast… I could eat it every day of the week. My go-to order is simple but always hits: scrambled eggs with Queijo São Jorge, home fries, bacon, and a bolo levedo grilled with butter. Comfort food perfection. Best Portuguese spot around and easily the best place for brunch. Don’t walk, RUN 🏃🏻‍♀️"

"Went for dinner on a Saturday. Bread was beautiful, fresh. Servers were really nice guys (I believe Nick helped us) working together, and the pork alentejada was by far the BEST dish I’ve had at a restaurant in America, period. So fresh, tender, ENORMOUS portion, and simply well done. The whole meal cost well below what I expected with no “catch.” I’m making a point to visit every time I’m in NB"

"I had the Azores burger w the amazing sao paulo cheese and pineapple and a fresh ans fruity sangria. Othets in my party really enjoyed the handcrafted iced coffee drinks. Reasonable prices for great flavor, quality, atmosphere and friendly service"

"I always visit Tia Marias when I am in town—I love the Portuguese food here! I wish we had a cafe like this in Boston!!!"

"The Beast of Breakfast and More! Tia Maria’s European Cafe is the place to go for breakfast. Outstanding Service and More! I love this restaurant for the staff who treat customers like family. The food is what you will always enjoy."
