I Love Nata

Tasty custard tart for an original snack or desert. I will definitely come back there!

Good coffee. Lovely natas served warm! Yummy!
Fine décor, chill out music. I enjoyed to sit there and relax.

The nata was delicious but I couldn’t taste much of the cocoa or coffee in my mocha. It tasted somewhat like skimmed milk with a light brush of cocoa and maybe ½ a shot of espresso?
Was impressed by the nata (tastes very authentic and the packet of cinnamon was a nice touch), but disappointed by the coffee.

These shop run by Lisbon girls is nice gem of little place in the heart of Covent Garden. Serving fresh Nata’s at a good price it’s a much more liquidy custard than say Nando’s and of course if freshly made on site. I’ve been to Portugal and Belém and know a good custard tart and I’d definitely be back to pop in here to feed my sweet treat/​dessert hunger again.

Had one of their lovely custard tarts. Wasn’t too sweet, which I like! The mint hot chocolate was. My sisters had the latte and mocha, but the latte was a bit too watery which I’m sure was a one off thing, but they replaced straight away. Very lovely people working there. Will be back.

Have sadly not been to Portugal yet to try out the real deal, but have had my fair share of portuguese custard tarts in the UK, and must say that my first visit to I Love Nata was quite a good experience.
The little café houses a few seats inside as well as a bench outside, if you fancy devouring the delicious tarts with a hot beverage in the café. I chose to buy the Nata 2 box as I came quite early, and wanted to save at least one of the tarts ’till later. The lady by the counter was nice and friendly, greeted me welcome and even gave me the chance to pick my own tarts from the counter.
On to the portuguese custard tarts… They were so good! The crust was perfectly baked and the sweetness of the custard was just right. Freshly baked in the morning and throughout the day, I received my Nata 2 Box and the tarts were still warm. Packaging is so cute and you also get a packet of powdered sugar and cinnamon if you want to sprinkle the tarts with any.
Overall, the tarts were delicious and the service friendly. At 3.98 pounds for two small portuguese custard tarts, I probably won’t be coming several times a week, but will definitely be back!
