Provincetown Portuguese Bakery
299 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Portuguese bakery is the real deal, famous for its malasadas (those perfectly crispy-outside, pillowy-soft-inside fried pastries) and an impressive lineup of traditional Portuguese baked goods that keep locals and visitors coming back repeatedly. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee and pastry to go or settling in for a leisurely breakfast of egg tarts, fruit tarts, and exceptional breakfast sandwiches, you'll find yourself greeted by genuinely sweet staff who make the experience feel personal and welcoming. It's the kind of place that's woven itself into Provincetown's fabric—a true institution where every item tastes made with care and every visit feels like catching up with an old friend.”

Absolutely phenomenal food. I got a ham and cheese croissant, and a banana nut muffin. I totally loved both! I will be back!
Yes, it's really all about the malasadda. Perfectly crispy fried and sugar coated outside, soft and chewy inside. Why stop there, though? This is a true Portuguese bakery. Get a coffee to go and indulge in the pasteis de nata, the classic Portuguese pastry, and the bolas de Berlin, a Bavarian cream filled Portuguese donut. How's that for fusion food!? #DoOrDonut #HalfBaked (Visited 8/11/25)
SO good. Such sweet staff and delicious food! I went twice on my 1.5 day trip to Provincetown. The egg tarts, fruit tarts, and breakfast sandwiches are all top tier. 50/10. The clinic next door has a deal where you get a $5 bakery gift card with free STI testing. Gathered me right up. I’ll be back. Tuesday is such a gem! 💎
This Portuguese bakery is an institution here in the town of Provincetown. Wonderful breakfast sandwiches. Wonderful baked goods of all kinds. Wonderful staff. It is a true classic. The inside café is simple, modest, and clean. If they are available, try the malassadas, a traditional Portuguese treat of deep fried though, dusted with sugar. Thank you to all the folks at the Portuguese bakery!
Extra special service with deliciousness in everything here. The bakery is amazing. We ordered fried dough with sugar and a blondie. Then, as we chatted with other customers about the eclair filling, the baker brought us each a taste to try. Extraordinary effort and generosity! I’m giving it a rare (for me) 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
