The 11 best desserts and snacks in Setubal

This was our first time here and the place is still an old-style ice cream shop, in a good way, a bit retro. The service was friendly and fast and there were some people inside. About the sweets, the crepes are really good just as the whipped cream but with the ice creams we got both kinds: some really good and some not that much.

The best place in Setúbal to enjoy some ice cream and crepes, there is a great variety of flavours and the atmosphere is nice, good location, it is a popular spot, so be ready to make a line!!!

Super tasty, huge portions.. bit 80s 90s retro feeling, but cute. The profiterol with salted caramel icecream is L.E.G.E.N.D.A.R.Y.

Friendly staff but weak fruit ice cream and small portions too.

Totally met expectations. The chocolate quente was so chocolatey and delicious that you even get a straw to drink it. The staff was great. Super friendly and all smiles. The gentleman that took our order even took the time to ask if we wanted any modifications to our order, and kindly helped us stumble through our portuguese as we ordered. Besides ice cream and gelato, they also have crepes topped with all kinds of toppings and profitaroles stuffed with ice cream and covered in the chocolate quente. Highly recommended for a sweet treat.

Nice place to eat icecream. Friendly owner and staff. Looks Clean.

Very tasty Crepes, the waiter was exeptionally friendly. Thank you.

I recently stumbled upon Mafraria Pastéis de Nata in the Setubal area, specifically in Pinhal Novo. And I have to say, it's quickly become one of my favorite pastry shops in the region. Upon entering the shop, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the tantalizing scent of freshly baked pastries fills the air. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help you choose from their delectable selection of treats. Now let's talk about the star of the show - the pastéis de nata. Mafraria's version is simply heavenly. The pastry is flaky, buttery, and perfectly crispy, while the filling is smooth, creamy, and just the right level of sweetness. You can tell that they use only the finest ingredients and take great pride in their baking. And the best part? Mafraria is conveniently located in Pinhal Novo, making it a great spot to grab a quick snack or indulge in a sweet treat. And with affordable prices, you can enjoy these top-quality pastries without breaking the bank. Overall, I highly recommend Mafraria Pastéis de Nata to anyone in the Setubal area looking for delicious baked goods. Whether you're a local or just passing through, be sure to make a stop at Mafraria - you won't be disappointed!

Yes everything was great! 💯 Come and experience yourself. Comida 5* Serviço 5* Ambiente 5* Mais que precisa 😍 PS: I speak the local language (PT) hence I have added values 😅

It's nice to stay outside.

Big pastel de nata which is complemented by an espresso. The pastel de nata has a buttery, flaky crust and a warm gooey center!

Always I'm in the Portugal I stopped in one unit the Mafraria, why? The pastel de nata (custard Portuguese pastry) sales here is the better option taste, the attendance always patience and smile for all the customers, and definitely have a good and lovely coffee for take incredible break or small time for enjoy the food there. For me this unit is special because taste like home every time I'm there.

Amazing pastries and variety of baked goods. Staff are extremely kind, helpful and always have a smile on the face. In barreiro I don't think you will find a better cafe/bakery in town.

The products are very good. Traditional and fresh portuguese pastries and bakery. The place is clean and large. It has an outdoor area too. The staff however makes it a mess. It seems they are too many and simply don't know what to do.

The ice cream is very good, but quite pricey. Our experience was OK, although we think that the people working there are not really efficient working. We ordered, and when we were finished and wanted to pay our bill, we had to get in line waiting for everyone else who arrived to get ice cream or crepes. It took me more time to get in line to pay then to finish the ice cream...it was very frustrating as I had to wait more than 30 minutes...

Central location and the only one open on Mondays afternoon. Good assortment of ice cream.

Generous servings. Above average flavour and texture. Highly recommend the "1 ball 2 flavours" option. Nice staff.

After eating the rice pudding (arroz doce) ice cream my life will never be the same. The other ice cream flavors were also good but the rice pudding was the best.

A classic and charming ice cream restaurant.

The ice creams are good and there's big variety of tastes and flavours. The seat outside is very reduced. Also, ordering it's only at the counter - so it's a mess inside, since the place is very small. Still, worth the visit.

Good selection of gelato including lactose free fruit options. Prices 1 scoop = €1.90, 2 scoops = €3.40 and other prices for more scoops or by weight. Can have your gelato in either a cup or cone.

Great cafe where there are fresh cakes, bread and where you can sit and have a ☕️

Great family owned cafe/bakery. Always busy. Good sandwiches pastry and sweets. Very good coffee and friendly service. There may be a bit of a wait when busy early in the morning. Popular with the local crowd.

😍

Great place for Bolo de Berlim. Always fresh and the coffee is good. Cheaper than most places due to it being a chain of pastelaria.

Wonderful place, all sorts of cakes and sweets, also bread and some savory goods. Staff is helpfull and very nice also.

When I'm back home this is my number 1 coffee great service the best cakes

Used to be much better, but still good.

Cool idea and nice presentation but unfortunately was not the best. They didn't had the typical bobba, instead they had some weird crunchy bubble.

The worst bubble tea I've ever tried. The normal dark sugar tapioca pearls were mushy, like they are old and overcooked. The fruity pearls were clearly raw. Just raw starch. Inedible. Upon complaining I am told that that's how the Portuguese like their boba. Unbelievable. And you can see another review that's pretty much the same. So, no, this is not how you're supposed to make bubble tea. I have been to many bubble tea places in Lisbon and in Porto and all of them had standard, good boba. The tea itself was ok. I thought it was hard to illicit a review for a bubble tea place. They are all pretty much standard. You buy the boba premade or you just do it in a multi cooker or something. I really didn't think you could mess that up. If nothing else, this place made me more appreciative of all the other Bubble tea places I've been to.

I'll be very honest, this is a place we won't be visiting again. The boba was raw, the bubble tea itself was terrible. When we pointed that out and requested new drinks, the manager was not happy about it, told us that everyone likes the tapioca pearls like that and that customers don't know the proper way to cook tapioca pearls. We've had bubble tea in various places/ countries, and no one ever served us raw boba. Seriously, it was so hard I was worried I'd chip a tooth. She ended up giving us a refund, but we were not happy with the service and her attitude before refunding us. Especially because we were not making something up, there was hard evidence.

It's a nice concept, the staff is respectful and they have many options of ice cream including and option gluten free, and sugar free but there is not option of ice cream without sweet. The spot is nice and good located. The coffee is ok... It's not an specialized coffee shop.

They (self-) serve very tasteful ice cream (frozen yogurt) with no lactose and added sugar. Also, there's vegetarian ice cream available - amazing! The waffles and crepes are also very good. In all cases you may customise your order. MyIced is the only place where you can taste bubble tea. They also serve coffee. The staff is awesome! I recommend.

This was the worst milk tea I had ever drank... The tapioca was still raw and the milk tea itself wasn't great either. I think it's overly pricey for the product, specially compared with other places (in Lisbon, tho)

LACTOSE FREE, GLUTEN FREE, VEGAN! Some (all of the 4 machines that were on) of the yogurts were lactose and gluten free, 2 of them vegan. There is a gluten free cone too. Lots of toppings and sauces.

Very nice, modern and cozy coffee. A lot good options to choose!a A sandwiched were fresh and tasty, marmor and nut cake were fresh and delicious as well. We surely will go back. Not expensive.

My favorite to take my morning breakfast. It has loads of sitting space. It's super fast to get the order and the employees are nice and polite. There's a lot of variety. They don't have "bolo de arroz" which is my very favorite but maybe someday they will have it. Totally recommend

Very bad customer service . They don’t care customer waiting for long time . They just busy in talking with each other . Whenever I go the service I found terrible .

Excellent coffee shop and meeting place in Setúbal with various options for snacks and easy meals

Really disappointing! They’ve sold us twice the very famous S from Azeitão stiff like a stone. We thought it was a mistake, but a second time is not that possible. Be careful before buying if you’re not Portuguese, they can slip old goods in a box. It did spoil our present for our friends

Delicious 🤤 pastel de nata, the way I like, crunchy and sweet qb

Gorgeous café, wonderful patisserie /pastelaria, great vibe. A pitstop for our various family members from time to time.

A very good ice-cream quality with lots of flavors to try. I would say that the ice-cream balls should be bigger :)

We didn't like the taste of any of the flavors. The ice cream was melting right away, full of air. 3 stars because of the friendly service.

This was such delicious gelato and sorbet. The sorbet flavours were refreshing and sour, the gelato creamy and amazing.

Amazing flavours, for the prices you will get so much gelato, love this place, really worth the visit.

Great Gelato! Good place to stop before getting the ferry back to Lisbon!

Best pistacchio i've had since i visited Sicilly

Speedy service and great flavors - the ones I tried were smooth, creamy and tasty. Very affordable.

Great Brazilian coffee shop, amazing sweets selection, delicious brigadeiro and incredible cakes!

The decoration is beautiful, and the sweets are fresh and delicious.

Delicious desserts. The chocolate cake was decadent and a huge portion. The Dois Amores dessert was creamy and delicious and very chocolaty. Our family loves chocolate and we will be returning to try out some more of their delicious treats.

Good cake in a comfortable establishment with pleasing decor...

I was following this coffee shops Instagram for a long time and I was looking forward to going there and I was disappointed, the sweets were nice and tasty but Sadly the costumer service was terrible, the shop was so quiet but still the lady serving couldn’t be anymore grumpy, my partner also thought so even before I said anything. It’s sad because the brigadeiros were so nice but I won’t go there again because it’s a waste of money if you feel not welcome

Amazing chocolate sweets in a cute little coffee. It has plenty of tables to sit and a nice ambiance. I religiously visit it every time I go to Setúbal. Try the Strawberry one, it's definitely one of a kind!

The coffee and misto quente were good, but only one person was working so there were lines and long waits, not only for your order but also to pay.
