Nos encantó este restaurante y toda la cantidad de postres que ofrecen.
Todos son veganos y podrás encontrar Bolas de Berlim, donuts y muchos otros.
Muy buen ambiente, buena comida y si escoges el menú, muy barato también.
Recomendable!

Review - Padoca

Vegan bakery alert!!!! Today I had a biscoff and a coffee latte with the latest milk from alpro! I also ate like a pizza sandwich and some juicy nectar. It was rlly good. Plus, the place is cozy and the staff are literally so nice. I’m coming back to try a little bit of everything and will update my review. 🍰

Desserts & Comfort Food

Nice place. We tried the Francesinha - Portuguese Sandwich, juices, and pastries. Enjoyed the food - especially the pastries (so many to choose from)! The restaurant has a great assortment to choose from. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The best Pastel de Nata

I was recommended this place by local vegans, as the best pastel de nata, and even though I only tried it from one other place during my trip, this one was by far the best! I also had a burger, which was pretty good, and freshly made juice. If I had known how many pastry option they had, I would have come ever day. The donuts looked amazing, wish I could go back to try those.

Pros: Pastel de nata, Loads of sweet pastries, Lovely staff

O sabor e a consistência dos croissants, bola de Berlim e das natas são idênticos aos não vegan...delicosos! Obrigada por existirem. Temos de voltar para provar tudo!!

Amazing Burger

Meant to visit this place in person but the day I planned to go was closed. I ordered online their Guloso burger and just wowsers. I would definitely reccomended this place for burgers. It was a pity I didn’t manage to go to try some of their pastries and their vegan pastel de nata.

Amazing place

Padoca is just amazing. Their story, starting as a “traditional” bakery and making the transition to a fully vegan place is just incredible.
They offer several traditional bakery options such as croissants, muffins, toasts, breads and typical pastries; brunch options (pancakes, waffles); several beverages (cappuccinos, hot chocolates, etc etc) and meal options which all look amazing on their Instagram posts and the ones I’ve tasted are actually delicious!

A new favorite, for sure. The food was delicious and the service was so kind. We really enjoyed the mushroom “wings” wrap and the iced soy cappuccinos. We will be back to try the pastel de nata soon!

So worth the trip!

Took the “D” line from Porto and was pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed everything that I tried and the staff were amazing!

I had fresh juice, a couple starters, a main dish, desserts and a soy cappuccino. Each and every bite was scrumptious! I will certainly be back and highly recommend stopping by as well

Pros: All vegan!, So many choices, Food, Drinks, Desserts!

Interesting option

Good to have an all vegan option. My non veg friend loved the toast. Good selection, but the pastels de nata tasted burnt and the croissants were more like sweet buns than actually croissants. The service was super friendly.

Very happy with my visit! Great Francesinha with a lot of flavor. (Fries could improve, the taste and texture felt cheap, but for the price it’s okey!) Great coffee and the staff was sweet and helpful.

A much needed place!

A space like these in the center of Gaia was sorely needed! It's liberating to be able to go to a place where we know we can order everything on the menu without worrying about the ingredients 😃 With that said, there are Francesinhas, hamburgers, toasts and a wide variety of sweets that will please both vegans and those who eat everything (despite all being vegan). We ate 2 different toasts, 2 juices and 2 two sweets (chocolate croissant and berlin ball, I didn't even remember having a berlin ball 😅) and everything was divine. Congratulations, I will be back regularly 👏

Pros: Everything is vegan, Everything is delicious, Great location

Melhor sítio em Gaia

É sem dúvida um dos melhores espaços em Gaia, com menu de almoço económico à semana e muitas opções no menu.
A francesinha é incrível e os lanches de seitan também.
O staff é muito acolhedor e o espaço super luminoso e agradável.

Comida com sabor de aconchego

Fazia tempo que queria ir na Padoca Portugal e fiquei muito feliz quando abriu a loja de Gaia. Comi uma tosta que se chama tosta a padoca, e foi como ser transportada para casa dos meus avós em um domingo de manhã. Saborosa demais. Depois provei o brownie com nuts que foi de longe um dos melhores que já comi e a torta de nutella que estava boa demais. Valores normais, ótimo atendimento. A voltar sempre.
