Traveler reviews
Andreea Ionica
★★★★★2 months agoThe only pastry shop in Funchal that knows how to sell a pastel de nata: warm and with a light dusting of cinnamon on top. What makes this place even more special is that it's the only spot around offering genuine artisanal gelato. Totally recommend it 👌
Elena P
★★★★★3 years agoSuper tasty, not a fancy bakery or anything. But! Good coffee, a nice waiter and a great idea if pickniking by the ocean is something you enjoy doing. We recommend the Madeira style cheesecake as well as the rice cake that looks like a brioche :D
