I absolutely loved my visit to Avos Bakery. We got the chicken potato bread and tuna onion bread with a macchiato and Portuguese egg tart. The breads were great, the chicken was tender and complimented well with lettuce and onions. I wish the onions were diced a bit more finely, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it as is. The macchiato was perfectly done and the egg tart was out of this world phenomenal. Crispy on the outside and slightly burnt on the top, with a perfect creamy and not too sweet egg filling! I highly recommend dropping by and visiting if you’re in the area.

Definitely Must Try! You won’t be disappointed! We had an exceptional breakfast at Avos Bakery! The bacalhau da natas was simply delicious, a true delight to start the day with. The tea was a standout, made from dry leaves instead of sachets, providing a rich and aromatic experience. We also indulged in a pastel de nata and a pistachio bun; both were absolutely to die for. The pastel de nata was creamy and perfectly sweet, while the pistachio bun was a unique and delightful surprise. Avos Bakery offers an extraordinary culinary experience with every bite. Highly recommend this bakery for anyone looking for a unique and delicious breakfast experience. The staff was Amazing!

So so delicious. Even warmed up the pastries for us. Authentic Portuguese food and delicious coffee. What more could you want? They informed us all the pastries are made fresh daily, which not every cafe can boast. We enjoyed the food inside, a small space with minimalistic interior design, perfect for a calm time with a treat.

So nice to see a Portuguese bakery quietly shining in the middle of the city. The egg tart was so so nice. Crispy, not too sweet and served warm.

Nice coffee and the pastries are delicious! The pastel de nata is incredible. And if you are someone like me who loves a mix of sweet and savory, the pastry with chicken was spectacular! I loved it
