Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent food at very good price point! Charming service and friendly staff. Very local feel. Perfect if you want to experience authentic porto food.

Rude, huffy and ineffectual service from small waiter with tattoos. On this experience, I can not recommend this eatery and I would not return. There are far better and friendlier places to eat in the Bolhao area, IMO.

I came in this place, few years ago when the Market of Bolhao was still under heavy reconstruction. Same confeitaria, same people, same charm. You can get a great breakfast with very fresh and diverse pastries at a low cost. They are surely crashing the...breakfast service of all hotels around with such affordable prices. However, if you look around and listen, you will see that most customers are local people; some of them coming everyday. It tells a lot (the Confeitaria remains the Confeitaria) about a place able to stay out of the heavy touristic pressure in Porto. You sit, you order what you want, you get a plastic card with a barcode, you enjoy, and you pay at the cashier at the entrance using this card (and your own credit card). Keep going guys! Don’t change anything (and surely not your friendly pricing policy)More

Very good place for breakfast. Located just in front to Bolhao market (without being touristic). Quality is very good, and service is efficient. Recommended.

We had a light breakfast there last week, absolutely outstanding quality of food and incredible value. It was always full of locals and tourists whenever we passed and it's easy to see why.

This place is always busy, and locals seem to find it a go to place. It is right outside the Porto farmers market square. I went there based on the reviews, and it wasn't a mistake. They have many tasty treats, and sandwiches. They seem...to make all the Portuguese specialties and are not expensive. They have a strange system where you work with person to box what you want, they code a plastic card with the cost which you bring to a single cashier at the front of the store to pay. Different. Portuguese, including this place, seem to overdo it with Nutella filled things. Nutella is tasty, but not good for you and way too much sugar. So aside from the Nutella filled things, I really liked this Confeitaria, and should be a place you visit.More

Such a great place to relax and have a bite. We went for tea and decided to grab quiche. A nice big piece for very little money. Tea was good. Went back for excellent desserts, including scrumptious chocolate cookies.

Don’t you love it when an establishment places the year it was founded? While I understand it’s not always the “best” or the “tastiest”, but perhaps the nostalgia or familiarity is well worth the trip. In terms of Pasteis da Nata, it was just about...average. There are tons of good looking pastries that unfortunately we did not try. It does get a lot of foot traffic here at times. There is places to sit at the back.More

Charming place, great coffee. I had a toasted ham and cheese, was so so. The soup was very good. overall thought I should have ordered the pastries. 1 water serving the entire cafe floor. He was very competent and very patient but seriously don't expect...fast service. But the place was charming and packed. Order the pastries, stay away from the ham and cheeseMore
