Great selection and prices. Had a coffee and like 5 different pastries to go, one of the most local, simple, cheapest and best places visited in Madeira. Very recommended if you are on this side of madeira or by airport. Also there is an amazing beach in the town. All the wishes to the lady and the man serving us, will come back, pastries too good! 10/10

Great cafe in the middle of Machico. Lovely coffee and fabulous cakes. Great selection. Used a few times on our visits here. Lovely town with amazing views and great beach area. Not far from Levadas, mountains walks, sandy beach, surfing beach. Would really recommend and will return. Cheers

Seems like a nice local café. A sudden short downpour meant I needed to take cover, so I picked up a piece of cheesecake and coffee (3.50), which seemed good value and tasted good.

Popped in for a latte and a cake. Cake was absolutely delicious and was only 2.2€! Back in the UK you’d be looking at around £5 for something like it…! Also used a translator app to ask for a latte but typed “late” which was comical, asking for a “late” 3 times. Still managed to walk away with a latte in the end tho!
