Editorial Review

Families and interesting local characters flood this busy yet laid-back café on Sunday afternoons. Window-front cabinets display traditional Portuguese knick-knacks. A slew of familiar desserts (muffins, cakes, streusels), Portuguese sweets (crème caramel flan, custard tarts), sweet and savoury crêpes, toasted bagels, and freshly baked breads tempt carb lovers. Croissant sandwiches (and nine other varieties) provide lunch options, while pasta dishes and codfish lure those in search of a full meal. Mains $5.75–$10.
