Maria Augusta Bakery

Cabo Verde


The friendly Maria Augusta churns out delicious bread and pastries from the giant wood-burning oven inside what looks like a garage. Look for an orange building on the edge of the sea near the church. Stock up on pudim de queijo (sweet goat-cheese tarts), coconut biscuits and marmalade-filled doughnuts.
