What People Are Saying
from Google"visited an authentic Portuguese bakery, while waiting for my truck to be loaded. Tiny custard pies are amazing. I also got a piece of Portuguese bread that was just as amazing. The people running the shop are very friendly and helpful. Definitely will return if I'm ever in the area picking up or dropping off goods."
"Pretty good pastel de nata with a mildly sweet and slightly creamy but dense custard. Crust was a bit chewy."
"What a great find! We just flew in from Portland Oregon and came straight here kkkkk! So fun to get legit Brazilian food and chat with the folks who run the place. Muito gostoso!"
"If you’re seeking the finest “pastéis de nata” in Newark, and quite possibly all of New Jersey — this is the place for you! Crispy, golden layers of flaky pastry filled with a creamy, silky custard that’s perfectly caramelized on top! Authentic and fresh, as always! 👌🙌"
"If you ever catch me all the way up here, just know it’s for one reason only… The Natas. I literally have to come all the way from South Carolina because nothing back home even comes close. Crispy, creamy, warm perfection every single time. Worth the drive, the flight, the miles, whatever it takes. If you know, you know."
