Great little Portuguese cafe that was recommended for its pasteis de nata thats very good - a crispy and flaky base with a sweet, creamy egg filling. Theres other bakery items available from bread to pastries, supplemented by some soups, salads and light main dishes as well as coffee and some teas. I also tried the coconut bread which was not particularly special compared to the pastel de nata, but the overall selection on offer generally looks good to find some items you do like (and you should try a pastel de nata as its the best Ive tried in Dubai). Prices are not particularly cheap here, but its quite a special find for pasteis de nata in Dubai.Theres indoor and outdoor seating thats distanced or has screens between tables. Being a small cafe in a larger building, theres no dedicated parking but there is street parking as well as a nearby Metro station.

A lovely designed Portugues coffee shop with authentic tasting food and drink. For those of us who are far from our Portuguese homes this is an oasis. For those who don’t know Portugal this will give you a taste of what you are missing out on.

A beautifully done up cafe with Pastel de natas being baked fresh and some good Portuguese breakfast options. Priced between AED11 for the tarts and AED 19 for the donuts or so.A bit overpriced considering the size of the tarts but its as close as it gets to the ones in Lisbon and no not Belem !

What a hidden gem! I felt like I stepped into Portugal coming here. Everyone eating here was Portuguese so you know the food is authentic. The Pastel de Natas are the best in Dubai and the staff is so friendly. Really nice to feel the Portuguese community in a small local cafe.

Quite small and congested (area/seating) Tried the Pasteis de Nata (Portugese sweet snack)...it was ok but nothing to rave about. The Cappuccino coffee was again just above average.Lot of scope for improvement...

Alma 560 was one of those cafes that I had zero expectations from but completely surprised me! Its a hidden gem in Gold and Diamond Park. Alma is a Portuguese Cafe with cute bright interiors.

I havent been to Portugal but i was given a Pastel De Nata from Lisbon and it was glorious! When I heard this cafe, I wanted to visit it. The cafe is just next to First Abu Dhabi Bank Metro Stn. It has a nice vibe to it. Good thing they are open for take aways because I visited during Ramadan. The pastel de nata is what I imagined it to be, delicious, not too sweet and crust is flaky and buttery. I will visit again to sample some of the items on the menu. The nice lady behind the counter said their chef is from Portugal. So the food is really authentic.

It nice we have a Portuguese ☕️ shop in Dubai with delicious desert like the famous Pastel De Nata tarts and also i try the orange 🍊 but i dont like it because the 🥚 eggs taste it need more vanilla ingredients to make it the price little higher than others

The pastel de nata is one of the best Portuguese pastries Ive had in Dubai. The staff is super friendly and professional, my interactions with them was pleasant. The place itself is cute and the ambiance is great. The area in general has a great vibe, free parking for the first hour which is always a plus.

Hot, crispy pastry, freshly cooked Pastel de Nata (can’t stop at one, so really it’s pastéis de nata) and a coffee. Just as I remember from Lisbon and Porto vacation. So much more to sample, but that’s for my next visit.Staff and owners are great and friendly.

Review №47

Lovely place! Came to this place after seeing the free Natas and espresso for Portuguese national day, came twice (though he refused to give it free second time but worth paying 😅). Their orange tart is another magic!But their staff seemed very dull and sad working there. Fake smile when we enter and then moment they turn away they have a very gloomy face. Seemed very fed up working there. Hope it was just today or I’m wrong.

I just had a cappuccino here and had high expectations since they look like they specialized in making coffee. Total letdown, one of the worse coffees I have had in Dubai, too bitter and strong and it is a huge cup (seems much more than 220ml).

It was a pleasure to have lunch in Alma, tasty soup, fresh orange juice, delicious bread.Alma has a good offer of different types of salads / sandwiches ... and you can have a healthy lunch or just have a expresso coffee with the amazing Pasteis de Nata.All the atmosphere in Alma made me feel in Lisbon :-)! Great music, Portuguese magazines, friendly staff and the decoration makes Alma a very confortable cafe.
