Crema's Take

Tucked away in Lyndhurst, this Portuguese-inspired café punches well above its weight with buttery pastries that melt in your mouth—from custard-filled pastéis de nata to croissants that locals swear by—all paired with thoughtfully made coffee and acai bowls that rival pricier competitors. The unassuming corner spot has mastered the art of the slow sit, drawing families and friends who linger over breakfast spreads and light lunch fare in a genuinely charming, clean space that feels like a warm corner of Lisbon. At these prices, it's become the kind of place people detour for, whether grabbing a quick latte or settling in for a full Portuguese breakfast experience.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Absolutely love this Portuguese café! The staff is always so welcoming, friendly, and attentive, they truly make you feel at home from the moment you walk in. The pastéis de nata are hands down some of the best and easily the best coffee in town. You can really tell they care…

The pastel da nata was ok (could be bc we are used to the ones from Portugal) but the carrot chocolate cake was delicious! The cafe and cappuccino were good as well. Decent location and decently priced.

I love their acai bowls, incredible taste for incredible price. Pretty sure they're around $10, depending on toppings. Way better to get them here instead of Nata's and Bowls. Very cutesy decoration and good seating, as well as amazing employees.

Cafe Mauro is a cozy spot that delivers big flavor. Their tosta mixta on a croissant is the perfect sweet-salty bite, and the sponge cake was out of this world.
