The owner(?) speaks great English and bakes great pastel de nata and quiche. The food could be warmed. I had a quiche, but she served it cold.

Lovely place and the owner makes all the food. She speaks English very well and she is extremely friendly. She makes a lovely cappuccino and her pastries are lovely. It overlooks the church near the municipal market.

Sensational spot for a stop on the way south from Lisbon. They were very welcoming and accommodated our shockingly poor Portuguese.
