Bakeries & Pastry in Porto

Croissants rival the pastel de nata at these counters. Confeitaria Chicana on Avenida de Rodrigues de Freitas is a cake shop whose reviews mention its croissants far more than anything else, and it opens at 7 AM every day. Rua de Augusto Rosa, near Batalha, has two early starters, Neta 3 from 6 AM and Padeirinha Doce from 6:30, both open until 8 PM from Monday to Saturday and until 1 PM on Sundays, while Ribermel on Rua de São João trades only in the morning, from 6 AM to 1 PM every day. Coxinha, the Brazilian chicken croquette, comes up in reviews of Confeitaria Ferreira in Matosinhos and of Itaipú on Praça de Guilherme Gomes Fernandes, which is also known for its fresh juices. Nuvem Pastelaria on Rua de São Roque da Lameira works in a French register, with chouquettes, Paris-Brest and pastry workshops.
