| - For my first review on here I thought I'd just write a quick one about this place, since nobody had reviewed it yet.
This review is based on one thing, and one thing only: the custard tarts. They're my favourite. If you know the Portuguese custard tarts then you know what I mean, if not: soft custard, flaky pastry, burnt top... Maybe you know the Chinatown version, which is ok, but positively awful compared to these (from which I believe they're derived, but I might be wrong).
Anyway, they're amazing. If you've had the Nova Era versions, they're better than those. In any case, worth the trip out here. I've bought buns there a few times and they're good, but not overwhelmingly so like the tarts. And a nice little place as well, with very decent espresso, and guarana Brazilia. Looks like an assortment of other Portuguese delicacies too, but I don't know much about anything other than the tarts! Oh, the tarts... If you buy a half dozen, eat one when it's fresh... then the next day warm them up a bit before you eat them. Ohhh... I'm just going to eat one right now.
