My favourite smilie doesn't exist.

Quite a few other kinds of pastries - croissants with various fillings etc. And then it does savoury Portuguese food too. There's seating so you can eat in, or get bits and bobs to take away.
Everything looked good, but I was laden with shopping so only got a couple of pasteis. Will definitely be going back to sample their other stuff.

Bollox. I was just going to get back into my jimjams. Now I might have to stay dressed and go out later.
Do they sell bread?
I didn't notice bread, but that's not to say they don't do it - am just unobservant today!
They only had 3 pasteis left, so if you want one today you'll have to hurry.

No, I have high cholesterol. I shall resist.
I'm only interested in knowing if they sell decent bread 'cos Sainsbury's don't

I nominate Kanda, Brix, AJdown or Quimmy to go and check the place out

Now that the elderly Mitteleuropaische ladies of Streatham Hill who used to queue up in Pernet's Patisserie for cream cakes are much depleted in number, I don't think even Alan Bennett could do justice to the equally lovely but very different sort of "ladies with hats" from the pentecostal churches who now form the bedrock of SW2's matriarchy.

Don't bother with pasteis de nata, go for the original (of which pasteis de nata are just an inferior copy)- available only from one café in the World - the Pastéis de Belém. The place is a temple dedicated to custard tarts .... oh, sorry, pasteis. Don't forget to powder them with a little cinnamon, and wash down with a bica (espresso).
Jeepers Ferret, you've got people on here clearly too lazy to journey a few hundred metres to try out a place they've been wittering on about for ages and you're recommending that they travel to Portugal?
I suspect, in the space of a generation or two, some of these folks will have evolved to no-legged midgets with extended typing fingers and pleading eyes.

I have actually been there, and I agree - it's fantastic. But going all the way to Lisbon is just a tad less convenient than wandering 5 minutes up the road

Went in for a look on Saturday, very welcoming, food looks good, and it seems a comfortable spot for reading the paper

I'll say yes, but that's a quess
Spoon does and that's around the corner

yes, but my b/f only eats white. He doesn't like any of that "nonsense with all the bits" (seeds)
It's never occurred to me to eat a custard tart. But after reading this thread I just had schlep up the hill to bastard Streatham and investigate.
Blimey, it was GORGEOUS -an awful lot of pleasure for 75p. I had to have two more. Sergio behind the counter explained that they don't have any cinnamon in them yet because he can't find any good enough in London. So he's waiting for someone to get some from Portugal.
They do sell bread, but it's not baked there yet. Today was Rui the baker's first day and he's only making a few of the pastries so far.
Here's a pic of Sergio for LadyR who obviously likes 'em lupine:

I dunno how far up the hill you had to go, but Brazas near the Hobgoblin sells them as does the Portuguese deli, Nunes, a few doors down and they may be closer to you if you're the Josephine Avenue/Brixton Water Lane end of Brixton Hill and develop a habit. They are lush!!
