Went here for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. Formally a Michelin star restaurant and the food was spectacular. They had a set menu for spring. From caviar to mushroom with black truffles to swordfish and pork to dessert. So much food. It’s definitely an experience. We matched with wine for all courses. Portions were small as you can imagine but that’s what you get with several courses. Truly fantastic. It came with a huge price tag. Close to $1500 for 4 ppl. So a but pricier than I was expecting but definitely worth doing once. The wait staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and what the chef prepared was amazing.

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Hype or Price
I had been seriously craving Pastel de Nata, so I was excited to find a place in the Bay Area selling them. However, that excitement quickly faded.
Upon walking in, I was surprised by the high prices-$4 for a single pastel de nata! Still, I went ahead and ordered two pastéis de nata and one dulce de leche Malassada. But when I got home, I realized they had given me an egg cream Malassada instead of the dulce de leche one I clearly and repeatedly asked for.
This was especially disappointing because I wasn’t in the mood for the egg cream Malassada-and to make things worse, it tasted very underwhelming. As for the pastéis de nata, they were far from the authentic ones you’d find in Lisbon. The texture and flavor just didn’t live up to expectations, and my cravings were definitely not satisfied.
Overall, the experience was a letdown. Between the mix-up, the mediocre taste, and the steep prices, I’ll be looking elsewhere for more authentic and satisfying options.

Found this cute pastry shop on Santa Clara St in Downtown San Jose. We were looking for something sweet to eat and thought to check this out. They have a few tables to seat at, nothing outside. Always seems to be very busy but service is friendly but slow. I think why the lines are long. Very good quality pastry selection at decent prices. Everything we ordered was good. Their traditional Portuguese tarts are always a good choice. Their chocolate and almond croissants are huge, bigger than my hand, at $8ea but well worth it. They are flaky and filled with stuff. Their malasadas are soft even a day old, and they are not stingy on filling. Their malasadas hazelnut chocolate, coconut and regular cream are very good $5ea. I even like their unfilled malasadas.
I would definitely come back to Pastelaria Adega again if I am in the area. I would like to try their latte coffee and sandwiches as it looks good and they sell a few other items on their shelves as well.

I really liked their traditional Nata. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also, they were not too sweet, which is the biggest compliment you can get from an Asian. Their ham and cheese croissant was okay. There aren’t many tables, but we didn’t have trouble getting one as most people had to-go orders. Will definitely come back to try other pastries!

We heard about Pastelaria Adega from friends who raved about their authentic Portuguese pastries, especially the pastéis de nata, so when we were in the San Jose area, we decided to check it out. We just walked in on a whim one afternoon, no reservations or wait needed, and were immediately drawn to the beautiful display case full of fresh-baked goods. It’s a charming spot that brings a slice of Portugal to downtown, and we left with a box of treats to enjoy at home.
ATMOSPHERE:
This cozy Portuguese bakery has a clean, inviting setup with white tiled walls, a long glass display counter showcasing rows of golden pastries, and an open kitchen where you can see the bakers at work with their oven. It’s compact, fitting maybe 20-30 people if including a few small tables or standing areas, with a casual, bustling vibe during peak hours. The wooden floors and simple decor give it an authentic, unpretentious feel, perfect for a quick grab-and-go or a relaxed coffee break in downtown San Jose.
MENU:
The focus is on traditional Portuguese baked goods, with stars like pastéis de nata (egg custard tarts) in classic and flavored varieties, croissants (plain, chocolate, almond, ham & cheese), bola de berlim (filled doughnuts), pão de deus (coconut brioche), and savory options like chouriço bread, steak or pork sandwiches, and grilled ham & cheese on sourdough. They also offer gluten-free rice flour muffins and a selection of coffee and tea. Everything is made in limited quantities daily, so flavors and availability can vary.
FOOD:
Assorted Pastéis de Nata
We couldn’t resist grabbing a mix of these iconic egg custard tarts in various flavors: classic plain, blueberry, chocolate, passionfruit, strawberry, and lemon. Each one had a flaky, buttery pastry shell with a creamy, not-too-sweet custard that’s torched to perfection on top for that signature caramelized finish. The flavored ones added a fun twist: the blueberry had a jammy burst, the passionfruit was tangy and tropical, and the strawberry brought a fresh fruitiness without overpowering the base. They were all served fresh and warmish from the display, making them addictive,easily some of the best we’ve had outside Portugal. Highly recommended as a sampler box for sharing.
Bola de Berlim
These Portuguese doughnuts were pillowy soft, lightly fried, and dusted with sugar, with options for egg cream filling. We got a couple filled ones that were generously stuffed, offering a rich, custardy center that paired perfectly with the fluffy dough. Not overly greasy or heavy, they had just the right amount of sweetness and were a great complement to the tarts. If you’re a doughnut fan, these are a must-try for their authentic texture and flavor.
SERVICE:
No reservations needed, and we were helped right away on a weekday afternoon. The staff were super friendly and patient, explaining the flavors and recommending the daily specials based on what we liked. Our order came out quickly, well-packaged for takeout.
TIPS:
Check their hours: they’re only open Wednesday through Sunday from 9:30am to 3:30pm, and items sell out fast, especially the flavored pastéis de nata. Arrive early for the best selection, and ask about gluten-free options if needed. Parking on Santa Clara Street can be street-only, so plan for that in downtown. The menu at the counter has more details than any outside signage.
OVERALL:
Was it worth the visit? Absolutely. Pastelaria Adega nails the authentic Portuguese bakery experience with standout pastries that are fresh, flavorful, and transportive. We’ll be back for more tarts and to try the savory side next time.

The waitress chose to charge us every item separately for a combo, then later refused to serve the rest of the combo with a bad attitude and not even an apology. Also, way overpriced for the quality and some of the food was stale.

Online advertising got me in. Love a good malasada and could not resist giving it a go. It is a small store front with very limited seating. The maladas were the reason we cam and they were okay. There is nothing like a fresh, warm, melt in your mouth malasada. These are not those. I found them to be okay and relied on the filling for flavor. It was the egg tarts that became the star for me. We ordered 6 flavors and they were all very good. If we were to go back, I would definitely for us on those.

I heard a lot about this pastelería since they open.
Until today I didn’t have the chance to stop by and try it.
I wait in line probably 15 minutes, no too bad for a popular place. I ordered 6 malassadas, 6 pastel de nata, 2 plain croissants, 1 loaf of bread and 1 morcela, $76.00 tip not included.
I was exited to get home and try it, specially knowing they are the same owners as Adega Restaurant finally arrived home and get my plate , knife and started to trying everything………. I was disappointed wasn’t what I expected de only high light was the pastel de nata, also I like to highlight the customer service nice and friendly
Malassadas too doughy, croissants salty and more grace flavor than butter, bread kind of bitter and morcela to soft.
I really prefer the Eataly pastries in Vally Fair mall
Sorry guy I wish you the best and your success continue, but it’s not for me
