This charming pastry shop offers Angelenos a taste of Portugal in the middle of a Valley strip mall. (Hint: It's right next to Casa Vega.) Owned by Lisbon-born Fatima Marques (who can usually be found behind the counter), the tiny blue-and-white tiled space first greets guests with a gleaming bakery case that proudly presents the day's sweet treats. Those who have time for more than a to-go treat can grab a seat inside the quaint cafe or at one of the sidewalk tables for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There are plenty of traditional dishes like kale-and-potato soup, empadaos (an oven-baked dish…

Save Time:
Call ahead to have a cake or pastry platter prepared for your special occasion.
What to Drink:
If you are sticking around, you can wash down those confections with a cup of espresso.
Where to Sit:
Although the restaurant is best for carry out, those with some time to spare can devour their eats and treats at the handful of patio tables in front.

So delicious!

by millerpolk at Citysearch

I recently had to find a breakfast place for friends that has pancakes and waffles instead of just the usual too healthy egg white omelette and fruit, so we ended up at Natas Pastries. It feels like a little European vacation in Sherman Oaks. The decor is charming and the staff is friendly and attentive. I loved being served steamed milk for my coffee and having water served at the table in an old fashioned bottle as well as having enough yummies in my omelette to make it seem as decadent as the pancakes. Natas is truly a quiet little gem of a restaurant.

A taste of home

by MitchBrenner at Citysearch

I grew up in a Portuguese-American community and have spent many vacations in Portugal and Madeira. I can assure anyone wondering about authenticity that Natas pastries are as good, or better, than any Portuguese sweets I've ever had. I love everything they sell and the owners and counter staff could not be nicer. Here is a place that truly deserves great success and merits the nice user reviews it's gotten. GO but not if you're trying to lose pounds.

  • Pros: Incredibly delicious desserts, authentic Portuguese cooking
  • Cons: It's not next door to me

Portugese Sweets

by AngieLovesJesus at Citysearch

I like sitting at one of the outdoor tables, sipping coffee and noshing on a nata or whatever unusual treat I've chosen from the bakery display case. It's different than any other bakery around, even if I don't always love the treat I've picked that day. The staff is really nice.

  • Pros: Unusual items to choose from
  • Cons: They aren't all winners, but most of them are really good

Best bakery cafe in the Valley

by tjslocum at Citysearch

I had to leave a note in support of my favorite bakery/cafe . I have been coming to this bakery since it opened a few years ago. Being a teacher I have little time on breaks but always made time to come with my colleges and have these amazing sweets and their delightful coffee.

I am a fan of many of their things, one of them, their brownies are to die for. Everything here is made from scratch and you can tell. I had their breakfast and lunch, the food is unbelievable, truly homemade!

Great service, great food, great coffee, best brownies ;-)!

  • Pros: Thumbs up, way, way up!!!
