I ate a tiny tart with passion fruit that was both creamy with a flaky tender crust. $4 well spent. I could have eaten another one. These Portuguese tarts appear at the Christmas markets and it’s nice to have them here to savor throughout the year.

We have been searching for good Pasteis de Nata since having it in Portugal. So glad we found Joey Bats, the Pasteis were sooo good and the most authentic we've found in the US. Muito obrigada!!
Jul 7 · Hillary LewisAmazing and delicious Portuguese custard tarts. They are flaky and not very sweet. It smells so good too.
Apr 28 · Mau CalmBeen to Portugal before, not sure I would compare these to the actual tarts they had over there. It’s more custard like if that’s the texture you’re going for vs more eggy (which is what I was expecting).
Feb 13 · Cherry WongBlueberry tart was amazing. Definitely worth trying, will be here again soon
