Quest for Custard Tarts

In this unassuming building is a fabulous bakery and coffee shop.  I went there to get their Pasteis de Nata (Portuguese custard tarts), which they bake daily.  Unfortunately for me, they were sold out.  I settled instead for a cheese danish and a ham and cheese croissant - both amazing.  Of course, I had to return another day  - this time two hours earlier to ensure I could get the pasteis de nata.  It was a success!  They looked slightly different than the ones I tried in Portugal earlier this summer.  And I mean very slightly.  But in terms of taste??  They were up there.  If I had been in Lisbon and they were brought out to me with some coffee, I would be very satisfied.





The cheese was baked into the croissant.  Inside, was delicious ham.



These are some murals around back and in the neighborhood.

On my return, I parked on Haywood Road, just a bit down from Owl Bakery.  Across the street was the Asian lady mural that caught my eye in the past.
