Cafe de Nata is a Soho staple for Portuguese custard tarts with creative flavors, but expect limited seating, moderate prices, and occasionally inconsistent service.
The verdict
Cafe de Nata delivers exceptional pastry quality with creative flavor execution that justifies its reputation as a Soho institution for Portuguese tarts. However, inconsistent service, severely cramped seating, and hygiene concerns prevent a higher grade. Best experienced as a quick takeaway stop rather than a leisurely dining destination.
One caveat: Service can be hit-or-miss, with some staff described as unfriendly or unhelpful
