The House of Isabel - Pastry & Tea Room

Wow! The best traditional sweets I’ve ever had. The flavors and pastries taste just like the ones our grandmothers used to make. The staff is very friendly. Torta de Claras is my favorite. Just love it!

Lovely little gem in a nice, historic area of Portimão, with a good selection of cakes and naughty treats. We had coffee and a cake called Real Isabel (Royal Isabel), which was to die for. The staff, including the proprietor herself, were warm and welcoming, as was the cosy little room with historic artefacts on the wall. Overall, a delightful and unique experience well worth the 30 minutes spent there!

We heard from a taxi driver that this pastry shop is quite old and offers delicious traditional desserts. We had pumpkin cake, chocolate cake and an egg pudding. They were very sweet, especially the pumpkin cake and the pudding. The interior was small and cozy with a few small tables. If given sufficient time I would try more varieties of their desserts.

Typical Portuguese pastry shop. We enjoyed in particular our afternoon coffee with cake here. There is not much space but it’s really cozy here. I recommend this place.

Amazing Pastel de Natas! Such a cute place, friendly staff and good coffee. I am excited to try the other pastries!

An old school bakery where you can see the staff cutting the fruit they will use on the pastry. The decorations, the staff, the "no-wifi" set-up, and the furniture gives you the perfect experience. We had a house tea, which tasted amazing. As for the cakes, the selection is too vast to give suggestions, so just go and choose what your eyes want to have. Enjoy!

Highly recommend! Such a beautiful little coffee shop. We tried quite a few pastel de natas in Portugal and this place was THE BEST we have ever tasted! We tried to come back again on our way to the airport and sadly, they did not make pastel de natas on Sundays so come on another day if you can. The coffee and hot chocolate were also good and the staff were super friendly! I will definitely come back to Portugal just for these goodies!

Passed by this place while looking for a place for dinner, and decided to come back for dessert. The pastries are made fresh and were very delicious. The lady at the counter was really friendly and helpful, translating what all the various options were. Highly recommended.
