Brilliant little Portuguese cafe, with great value and quality cooked breakfasts and the freshest custard tarts!! The espresso coffee is also much smoother than the chain venues like Costa. Friendly staff and great local atmosphere. Highly recommended

A friendly cafe with fantastic pastel de nata. Prices are very reasonable too. A lovely spot to stop for lunch and a chat without breaking the bank.

Warm and cosy … The snacks on display are so good ! Reminded me of home were you can pick anything that is on display and is served in small tapas style plates! The lady behind the counter was very friendly .

A hidden little gem on the outskirts of London — offering a generally great cup of coffee, some of the best Portuguese pastries, and a crisp Portuguese beer to wash it all down.

The best coffee in the area by some margin, the lady who runs the place is also lovely. On a warm day, the vibe transports you from West Drayton to the Mediterranean coast.
