Tease

Príncipe Real, Santos & Estrela


This rock ‘n’ roll bakery specialises in decadent cupcakes piled high with frosting (dive straight into the doce de leite if available!), as well as other baked goods, freshly brewed teas and rustic sandwiches. It's the little details that make the decor stand out – such as the mosaic of exquisite azulejos – and it lures a beautiful crowd.
