I was captivated by the authentic, old-world charm the moment I walked through the door. The decor, the atmosphere, and the a truly wonderful experience. I was fascinated to learn that Confeitaria Imperial first opened its doors in 1928. That kind of longevity speaks volumes about its quality and the role it plays in the community. You can feel the history in every corner, and it gives the place a special warmth and character you just can't find in modern cafes. And of course, the food! The pastries and sweets are divine—each one feels like it's made with a passion for traditional baking. The coffee was excellent, and the service was attentive and friendly. It's the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a treat, and soak in the rich heritage of Coimbra. If you appreciate tradition, authenticity, and truly delicious pastries, Confeitaria Imperial is an absolute must-visit.

They make their own pasteries, you will find a good variety of traditional portuguese treats, both sweet and savory. Their lunch menu has unique portuguese dishes that, unfortunately, are no longer commonly available in restaurantes, and it's very budget friendly. They have delicious coffe and still at a great price as well. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. I often hear turists say they want the authentic experience, and eat where locals do, well this is it. Go visit them, delight yourself and have a true, authentic Portuguese experience.
