I've been looking forward to seeing Cafe Lisboa open for very long, keeping my fingers crossed for the owner, who quit her job in a big corporation in order to bake the best Portuguese sweet tidbits in Krakow (or maybe even in Poland).
I was very excited to see information about her opening it in the end, as I could finally taste my favourite Portuguese pastry (which I'm missing a lot here in Krakow). For Portugal lovers, just like myself, this spot is a must-visit!
A Polish woman baking Portuguese sweets - I agree, it may sound weird, but if you come visit, you won't regret it. Pasteis de nata baked here are a product which Cafe Lisboa is famous for and believe me, they are delicious and taste just like the original Portuguese most famous snacks! Apart from pasteis de nata, you can also order a Delta coffee here - the best coffee in the world! Plus there is the pastel de nata + espresso set costing only 8 PLN!
This is the only spot in Krakow where you can get those two goodies, so if you've ever been to Portugal and enjoyed their tasty pastry, Cafe Lisboa is undoubtedly a place for you.
