Lisbon Bakery

Pastries average. Bread is okay. Meat pies are terrible. Threw them out. Staff friendly.

This bakery has been around for a long time, and I used to live around the corner, and had there bread daily. Last visit I went a little later in the day, so the sections were limited, but they still had my favorite crusty bread on the shelf. Enjoyed the bread it was worth the trip. Most of the item are a good price, and it as always been a cash-​only place.

Indeed, this a cute little Portuguese bakery; though I didn’t encounter the friendly staff that Katherine W had experienced. The person who was behind the counter was kind of cold, maybe a case of the Mondays? I asked her about a few items but she really didn’t want to answer me. I think she prefers the regulars who just come in, select their items quickly, pay and leave! I won’t deduct stars against her less than warm reception because I enjoyed their pastries.
I’ve had their water bread at O Tacho, across the street — it’s a nice bread, with a chewier exterior. Their kaiser buns comes in packages of 6 and 12; a package of 6 is $ 1.30. The buns have a very flaky exterior and leave a ton of crumbs everywhere when you start eating it — not my fav.
The turnovers (comes in apple and cherry) are HUGE ($ 1.25 each). I chose the apple turnover and I really enjoyed it since it wasn’t overly sweet like the typical turnover.
The egg or custard tarts are sold in a larger size if you want to buy in bulk but they are also sold prepackaged 6 smaller portions for $ 5.50. They’re not the prettiest looking tarts since there’s some caramelized spots on the custard (it looks burnt but it’s not). The tarts remind me of crème brûlée that’s been encased in a tougher pastry shell — it’s a sweet little treat that’s worth trying!
They are open 7 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Saturday, closed on Sundays. It’s old school so no debit or credit, just plain ol’ deniro is accepted.

I walk by this lovely, small family run Portuguese bakery almost daily. The staff are very friendly and very willing to explain any baked goods you are unfamiliar with.
Prices at Lisbon are very affordable. They have a limited selection of breads, buns, cookies and various pastries. In winter months only they have incredibly delicious peanut brittle — addictive stuff!
Their Portuguese water bread is really good with a bowl of home made soup or chili!
FYI The bakery currently accepts cash only.
