We came here on a weekday for breakfast in a group of four. The delicious smell of a bakery already greets you when you're still a few meters away. About all the products we tried there's nothing much to say except that everything was delicious! Certainly a have to go place when you're in Coimbra to experience a local breakfast. The service and friendliness of the staff is as good as the bread and sweet stuff as well. I would give 6 stars if possible!
