Guava egg tart, Pastel De Nata, was just exquisite. We'll be back for more. Pastry crust was perfectly flaky and the filling sublime. Best egg tart of any kind ever.

This Portuguese bakery in downtown San Jose is a wonderful spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Portuguese pastries and baked goods. Street parking is available if you’re lucky enough to find a spot nearby; otherwise, you may need to park a bit farther away and walk. The bakery appears to be family-run and offers a wide variety of traditional Portuguese treats. Naturally, I had to try their famous pastel de nata. They are typically sold in packs of six or twelve, and I chose an assortment of six different flavors. While the variations were interesting, I still found myself preferring the classic original version. The pastry shell was wonderfully flaky and crisp, while the custard filling was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. I’ve never been to Portugal, so I can’t compare it to the real thing, but these were some of the best custard tarts I’ve had. The texture and flavor were excellent, and it’s easy to see why they’re so popular. I also tried one of their savory pork pastries, which reminded me somewhat of a miniature pot pie. It was filled with flavorful, slightly tangy and mildly spiced pork encased in a sturdy, flaky pastry crust. Although small in size, it was s

Went here for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. Formally a Michelin star restaurant and the food was spectacular. They had a set menu for spring. From caviar to mushroom with black truffles to swordfish and pork to dessert. So much food. It’s definitely an experience. We matched with wine for all courses. Portions were small as you can imagine but that’s what you get with several courses. Truly fantastic. It came with a huge price tag. Close to $1500 for 4 ppl. So a but pricier than I was expecting but definitely worth doing once. The wait staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and what the chef prepared was amazing.

Found this cute pastry shop on Santa Clara St in Downtown San Jose. We were looking for something sweet to eat and thought to check this out. They have a few tables to seat at, nothing outside. Always seems to be very busy but service is friendly but slow. I think why the lines are long. Very good quality pastry selection at decent prices. Everything we ordered was good. Their traditional Portuguese tarts are always a good choice. Their chocolate and almond croissants are huge, bigger than my hand, at $8ea but well worth it. They are flaky and filled with stuff. Their malasadas are soft even a day old, and they are not stingy on filling. Their malasadas hazelnut chocolate, coconut and regular cream are very good $5ea. I even like their unfilled malasadas. I would definitely come back to Pastelaria Adega again if I am in the area. I would like to try their latte coffee and sandwiches as it looks good and they sell a few other items on their shelves as well.
