Sweet Nata

Coffee shop

👍👍 To die for!! In a different league to the kind of Portuguese tarts we’ve come to expect in Melbourne, the pastry is thin, flaky and so buttery, and the custard is rich and creamy but still light. And you can get different flavours, I had plain and sour cherry. The coffee was very good: I had a magic...
