1) Sweet Belem Cake Boutique

Address	35 B New Canterbury Road, Petersham Sydney, NSW, Australia 2049
Website	http://sweetbelem.com.au/
Phone	+61 2 9572 6685
Email	info@sweetbelem.com.au
Operating Hours	Monday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Tuesday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Wednesday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Thursday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Friday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Saturday: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Sunday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

At Sweet Belem, not only do they have twists on classic Portuguese desserts, but all of their goods are made with free-range eggs. And what makes these tarts and pastries so mouthwateringly sweet? The teams’ ages old secret recipe, of course! For extra crispiness, the outer shell of the puff pastry is book-folded a few times to create thin layers.

Key Differentiators:

• Offers modern twists
• Makes Portugese tarts
• Follows age-old secret recipe

Customer’s Review:

A friend recommended I try their Portuguese tart, so I stopped by for a Portuguese tart and a chocolate one while there. Both were utterly divine – the best I’ve had outside of Lisbon! I’ll definitely be back to try more of their delicious-looking baked goods. Just be prepared to wait a bit – it’s a popular spot so lines can get quite long.

2) Tuga Pastries

Key Service	Wide selection of tarts and pastries
Address	10/112 McEvoy St Alexandria NSW 2015

Phone	retail@tugapastries.com.au
Email	retail@tugapastries.com.au
Operating Hours	Monday – Sunday 6.30am – 3.30pm

Tuga Pastries, with a long-standing reputation for “if you know, you know,” has an unassuming storefront on busy Clovelly Road, which means you’re more likely to pass it than pull in for a cup of coffee and some pastries. This bakery shouldn’t be one that goes unnoticed. If you’re craving custard tarts, Tuga is the place to go.

Key Differentiators:

• Wide selection of tarts and pastries
• Long-standing reputation
• Unassuming storefront

Customer’s Review:

Love the selection of pastries you could find here. The Portuguese tart has got the right texture and flavor. The staff is helpful and friendly as well.

Operating Hours	Monday to Friday 4.30pm till late Saturday 12pm till late

Bibo, located in the scenic Double Bay area, focuses on food from Spain and Portugal. Additionally, the owner of Bibo also owns Sweet Belem. Consequently, the desserts at Bibo include Sweet Belem’s well-known Portuguese tart. The tart is made with the same age-old recipe and free-range eggs.

Key Differentiators:

• Owner also owns Sweet Belem
• Same age-old recipe for tarts

I love Bibo! The food is amazing, and the atmosphere is so cozy and inviting. I definitely recommend getting the Portuguese tart – it’s my favorite dessert here. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

5) Village on Cloey

Key Service	Good customer service
Address	231 Clovelly Road Sydney, NSW, Australia 2031
Website	https://www.facebook.com/villageoncloey/
Email	villageoncloey@gmail.com
Operating Hours	Daily 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM

A few years ago, this cafe was the only place you could enjoy Tuga’s Portuguese tarts. Its sibling cafe from a couple doors down, Tuga Pastries, preceded it by a few years. It’s ironic that now that Tuga is as popular as it is, you can usually find Portuguese tarts for sale at Village Bakery more easily than at the bakery where they were baked.

Key Differentiators:

• Cafe sells tarts from Tuga Pastries
• Good customer service
• Can usually find tarts more easily than at Tuga Pastries

Customer’s Review:

Good coffee, smoked salmon bagel with dill and pickles (although the bread was a bit hard) and Portuguese tarts.

6) Black Star Pastry Newtown

Key Service	Instagrammable pastries
Address	1/325 King St, Newtown NSW 2042, Australia
Website	https://www.blackstarpastry.com/
Phone	+61 2 9557 8656
Operating Hours	Daily 8AM–4:30PM

The majority of Blackstar’s baked goods are Instagrammable, but the company also has a respectable selection of high-quality meals on a daily basis. The flaky pies are an excellent example. Another great choice is the custard tart. It’s a tiny piece of crumbly pastry with warm custard in the Portuguese style.

Key Differentiators:

• Instagrammable pastries
• High-quality meals
• Flaky pies

Customer’s Review:

The tarts are so good here. I love the flaky pastry and the warm custard filling. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

7) The Cook and Baker

Key Service	Uses organic ingredients
Address	37 Oxford St, Bondi Junction NSW 2022, Australia
Website	https://thecookandbaker.com.au/
Phone	02 9388 0119
Email	info@thecookandbaker.com.au
Operating Hours	Daily 6:30AM–3:30PM

The owners’ homeland of New Zealand has influenced many of the dishes at this Bondi institution, such as the renowned Louise Cake. The Portuguese tart is not so much. It’s still really good, though. However, their Portuguese tart is also a crowd favorite and is made with the same age-old recipe and free-range eggs.

Key Differentiators:

• Uses organic ingredients
• Freshly baked goods
• Hand baked pastries

Customer’s Review:

Not a better croissant in the suburb. The tarts are amazing too, but are they quiches?? Even if they were, I’d buy them a second time.

8) Infinity Bakery

Key Service	Using local produce and organic ingredients
Address	17 Richmond Road Homebush, Sydney 2140
Website	https://www.infinitybakery.com.au/
Phone	8097 1461
Operating Hours	Mon to Fri 6:45AM–2PM

In addition to its world-famous sourdough bread, this Darlinghurst bakery sometimes sells the equally popular Portuguese tart. Whether you’re visiting the Darlo original or Manly’s spin-off, there’s a good chance you’ll discover one – best accompanied with a rich black coffee.

Key Differentiators:

• Focuses on sourdough bread
• Using local produce and organic ingredients
• Baking since 1997

Customer’s Review:

The tarts are so good here. I love the flaky pastry and the rich custard filling. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Address	32-44 Birmingham St, Alexandria NSW 2015
Website	https://sonomabakery.com/
Phone	0437 733 371
Operating Hours	Monday – Sunday 7am-3pm

Although Sonoma has many stores, the reason it’s so popular hasn’t changed: the baked goods are delicious and affordable. The king of bread, sourdough bread, is still the greatest, but you’ll discover great coffee and savouries, as well as sweets such as croissants and the odd Portuguese tart throughout Sydney at its many locations.

Key Differentiators:

• Great coffee and savouries
• Expertly crafted & carefully curated
• Multiple locations throughout Sydney

Customer’s Review:

Had a great experience here! The tarts are so good – flaky pastry and rich custard filling. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
