Absolutely love Santa Nata custard tarts. The pastry is so light and the filling just perfect. Always pick some up when I visit London!

We love Pasteis de Nata - Portuguese custard tarts. So we stopped off at Santa Nata in Covent Garden. They were freshly made and delicious with a coffee. It also gave our feet a break from the London streets!!

Walked past and saw a batch coming out of the oven. They were gorgeous - warm and freshly made. Just gutted I didn’t buy a box full for the journey home.

The best "Nata" in town! Among the many so-called "Natas" that are served throughout London ,these are the most similar to the Portuguese ones and when you're tasting them you feel you're in Portugal eating a "Pastel de Nata".

Opções de cafés e, para comer, basicamente pastéis de nata (pastéis de belém). Algumas poucas mesas na rua. Ponto positivo que oferece opção para levar a comida (take away) em caixas bem condicionadas.

Excellent. I bought my first pasties de nata in Belem, Lisbon, 40 years ago. I have tried many imitations, from Lidl and Coop, but they are nothing compared to these delicious pastries from Santa Nata. I was transported back to that cafe in Lisbon. Bravo!!!

Made the mistake of going into a cafe where there were no other customers. I think I now know why. Visited the premises in the Square. Latte and croissant, paid immediately by card, lukewarm coffee, stale croissant then on leaving was accused of not paying. They made a check of their records and voila, it seems I had. Quite embarrassing and won’t be back.
