Came here two mornings in a row for breakfast and absolutely loved it. The staff were the friendliest we encountered in Sintra, helping us understand what each menu item was and explaining the history/culture behind the pastries. We were even offered free samples… on both days!! The service is exceptionally fast. In fact, I have never been to a cafe with such efficient service. The patio is lovely, on a quiet street away from the tourist centre. There are many locals coming in and out in the morning - a sure sign that it’s good. The croissant sandwiches and are delicious and the coffee is tasty as well. Everything is reasonably priced too! What a deal! You MUST come here!

The best place in Sintra. I am the fan of ice cream. Especially pistachio. For some reason it it difficult to get a good one in many places. But here I had the best pistachio ice cream I have ever eaten. And the portions are great. Later they told me that this ice cream is hand made at their place. It explains a lot. I also tried their traditional dessert. It is definitely a must try. The quality of food is excellent. Great coffee as well. Another thing is the service. Friendly and smiling people. And they speak English! I totally recommend this place and will definitely visit it again.

I am in love! Say no more! Just go there and trust the staff! They’re lovely, warm and hands down the best service I experienced so far in Portugal. I don’t have a lot of photos because all the pastries were gone before I was able to take any. Highly recommend the chicken pie! Best ever! 3 of us was fighting for it. Luckily I don’t live here. Otherwise I won’t be able to keep my weight down.

Uma pastelaria a não perder em Sintra! O bolo Rainha é obrigatório no Natal e pode-se encomendar a qualquer altura do ano! Um bolo fofo com recheio de travesseiro😋 Os gelados caseiros não ficam nada atrás! Pistácio, queijadas, framboesa, coco, etc todos bem servidos e de óptima qualidade. E claro as famosas queijadas são deliciosas. Sempre quentes e acabadas de fazer mesmo até quase à hora de fecho. Pastelaria obrigatória a ir em Sintra. (EN) This bakery is a mandatory stop whilst in Sintra! Their Bolo Rainha (traditional Christmas cake) is a must-have not only at Christmas but also any time of the year (it needs to be pre-ordered a few days in advance). So fresh, moist and with travesseiros’ egg and almond filling😋 Their homemade ice creams are a MUST! Flavours range from pistachio, queijadas, raspberry, coconut, etc. Dona Estefânia’s famous Queijadas are delicious and a trip to Sintra can not be completed without a stop in this shop!

We asked for one each of the Queijadas, Travesseiros and pastal dá nata. We got an explanation of what was in each pastry and little sized sample each of the Travesseiros to make sure we would like them. They were great but not a patch in the 'full size' one. Which was extremely light and buttery.

What a wonderful pit stop before you charge to see around Sintra area, or after you are exhausted to fill up. Gelato and the pastries were perfect as the staff provides world best friendly smiles and services. Loved this place to feel Portugese love and taste. Obligado.
