Pastelaria Algarve - Lagos

Typical sweets of the region and to eat beautiful? sweet animals and fruits from marzipan. not too sweet. also typical cakes like a carob. beautiful coffee and very friendly staff.

Algarve has a strong tradition for sweets, in particular for pastries based on almond (marzipan-like), fig, carob, eggs... Many foreign visitors pass by this paradise for the senses, and it is such a pity since it will be easy to find if you know what to look for! So, here is a place that honours this tradition with great mastery. Sample one pastry (any!, except for the Belém cream tarts which are not Algarve) to get a notion... and bring home as many as you can eat for the next few days, so that the pleasure is repeated. You won't forget these for the rest of your life. Note: closed on Sunday.

Some of the best baked goods that we found. Really outstanding Pastels de Nata. We went back several times.

KEEP AWAY from this pastry shop, ALGARVE, next to the fish market in Lagos, right of it when you are facing the market, not the one on the left. Shop assistants are SLOW in every sense! They are there entertaining themselves with each other without paying attention to their job. Yesterday, 18.09.2019, I went to the shop and ordered 4 boxes with 6 pastries each and paid the 24 of them: 26.05 euros. The counter is high and you cannot check what the hell they are doing. She gave me a bag with the boxes inside which I did not check because I was rushing to Lisbon and she had been too slow and could not even figure out the total to pay, I had to tell her ..... Just after leaving, I noticed I had been given only 3 boxes, 18 pastries. There is no tel. number available on line. No possibility to complain directly or ask for reimbursement and compensation as I cannot give a present to a 3rd friend. EVITEM a pastelaria ALGARVE, do lado direito de quem entra no mercado de Lagos, não é a do lado esquerdo. As empregadas são LENTAS em todo o sentido. Entretêm-se entre elas e vão atendendo sem prestar atenção. O balcão é alto e não podemos verificar o que elas estão a fazer. Ontem, dia 18.09.2019, pedi 4 caixas de doces com 6 cada, e paguei os 24 doces: 26.05 euros. A empregada deu-me o saco com as caixas que não conferi por estar com pressa. A empregada tinha sido lenta e nem sabia fazer o total, eu tive de lhe dizer o total, ainda por cima ... Depois de partir, verifiquei que só tinha 3 caixas com 18 doces, pagos 24. Não existe informação de nr de tel. online, não é possivel reclamar directamente ou pedir reembolso e compensação por não ter o 3º presente.

Typical sweets of the region and too beautiful to eat? Cute animals and fruit made from marzipan. Not too sweet. Also typical cakes like one made from carob. Nice coffee and very friendly staff.
