Popped in here today to get some cakes for my friends. I had no idea what to get, the guy serving (sorry didn't get your name) was really helpful and gave me a nice selection. My first time here and will be back. Thank you for the lovely coffee too 🙏😊

Lovely little Portuguese cafe in Oxford. Given my Portuguese heritage, I stopped here for a quick coffee and a Pastel de Nata. Both were very good and the Pastel was fairly authentic. Atmosphere was good with lots of other people in the cafe, not just Portuguese.

I feel like I was cheated, I went all the way because it was recommended to me by my Portuguese colleagues. The man charged me 6£ for (2) 200ml juice. I have bought 1litre carton juice from 2.50£ in a different shop in the past. I know you need to earn money but not by cheating others for their hard earned money. We come to these shops because it is recommended by the natives but you guys took advantage of it. I think you will not get cheated only if you are a Portuguese.
