Serra Doce — Restaurant in Summit

We went here for coffee ☕️on a Sunday morning. The shop is nicely decorated, it has a rustic tone 🐮 to it. There's a high counter at the window, a long booth type seat against one wall with some tables, some cozy chairs scattered around, and a couple of free-standing tables. There was plenty of seating available when we arrived. Like I said we ordered coffee.

And why ask for a tip if you’re not even bringing the food over to the tables. And for a Portuguese style delicatessen the fact that it offered mozzarella cheese Swiss and no Portuguese cheese leaves to be desired A true authentic taste of...

I’ve been to Serra a few times now and it’s fantastic. First time there we stopped in for brunch (and pastries) with some friends and the food was excellent. We came for some breakfast sandwiches but the pastries were just amazing. I LOVE Portuguese Natas and the ones here are as good as the ones IN Portugal. As good as the food was, the service was quick and friendly too…even though the place was pretty busy.

Recently we were here again for a private party and the place looked great…and we had another fun visit. Though the dinner was catered, the desserts were from the shop and were as delicious as ever. I wish I lived closer…then again, I’d probably...
