Portuguese Tasty Desserts — Restaurant in Santa Clara

Very lovely bakery! It is family-owned and everything is baked fresh everyday. I called in advance to order the egg tarts. This is my first time getting Portuguese pastries and the owner gave me a great introduction! (She also gave me a piece of their traditional sweet bread and a cup of coffee!) The egg tarts came without crust and have a light lemon fragrance. They are perfect as afternoon treat! The cinnamon sweet bread is soft and tasty and the lemon biscoitos(Portuguese traditional cookies to dip with milk) is a must try!

They also serve Malasada (Portuguese donuts) with a variety of filling on Wednesday and Sunday. Highly recommend this bakery :)

Street parking available in front...

This is a small bakery and my ‘go to’ place for Portuguese foods. No room for sitting inside but there are tables outside (unfortunately on busy El Camino- I wish they had some tall potted plants and wood lattice to make the sitting area nicer, but then they would have to find space to store that.) My favorite here is the white corn bread. The sweet break and natas are also good. You can buy linguica, cheese, tomato jam, sardines, piri piri and many other Portuguese basics here. They also sell bifana and other sandwiches....

This is the best place to purchase cinnamon bread. I drive out of my way to pick up the bread that is made fresh daily. The owners provide free coffee during your visit. Their pastries are excellent as well. Anything Portuguese can be found here. Try any of their sandwiches, you won't regret it. They also have a deli section of fresh meats. The place is very small so they only have outside seating. Parking is street parking but there is always room near the store. My go to...
