Queijaria Central ★ 4.1

Bakery€€2-6 per itemMonday to Saturday 09:00-19:00Margaride sponge cake, regional pastry, Serra da Estrela cheese

More deli-grocery than bakery, but the counter carries Margaride sponge cake, Bolinhol biscuits and seasonal Serra da Estrela cheese alongside pastry.

Tip: The Margaride sponge cake is sold whole or by the slice. It has a tight, buttery crumb distinct from any Lisboa or Porto equivalent.

Next to the Arco da Porta Nova gateway into the historic centre, Tíbias de Braga is the specialist shop for the city's most signature conventual sweet.
