Bakeries & Pastry in Castelo Branco

Sourdough bread, croissants and tostas feature at Bloom Bakery on the Avenida da Carapalha, where reviews also point to vegan options and cakes such as a banana and peanut tartlet. Pastelaria Doce Real Amieiro on Travessa 5 de Outubro and Cá Tespero on Rua da Quinta do Amieiro de Baixo both close early on Saturdays, at 1 PM and 2 PM; Cá Tespero doubles as an espresso bar with outdoor seating and serves alcohol. Pastéis de carne, the Portuguese meat pastry, come up at the Rua da Graça bakery, and the late-closing pastelaria on the Avenida de Espanha completes the five. Four of the five list breakfast.
