A vibrant corner of South Kensington wafts the enchanting scent of freshly baked goods from Café de Nata, where the pastéis de nata are celebrated as authentically Portuguese. This petite café, adjacent to the bustling tube station, extends the warmth of Lisbon through its compact yet welcoming space adorned with inviting outdoor seating. Commanding attention is an array of traditional custard tarts in classic iterations and inventive flavors like raspberry, chocolate, and apple cinnamon. Offering vegan alternatives alongside these indulgent treats demonstrates their commitment to variety and inclusivity. The adept craftsmen behind the counter ensure the pastries reach quintessential perfection—flaky, buttery shells embracing creamy centers. While the café's seating may be limited, both the sweet aroma of baking and the friendly though occasionally varied service provide a delightful pause amidst metropolitan life.
