Opened in 1856, the Confeitaria Peixinho was the very first merchant ofovos molhes in Aveiro and Portugal. Taken over by Alberto Gomes in 1973, the family business is going strong with its Aveiro specialties: the inevitable ovos molhes, castanhas d'ovos (egg yolk and cooked sugar), broinhas d'ovos (egg yolk and flour) and raivas cookies, very popular with the locals. The store, elegantly decorated and very chic, has a counter to place orders and a small tasting room on the floor. An institution!

A small pastry shop hidden in the narrow streets, behind a garage door, where you can find excellent ovos molos and conventual cakes of Aveiro. This factory of small sweets of all kinds, born in 1882, religiously perpetuates the ancestral recipes of the convents. Of course, we will taste the ovos molos (egg yolk and sugar) and without wanting to compete with THE local specialty, we will appreciate as much to discover other cakes as the mulatinhos (nuts, egg yolk and host). Welcome to the temple of temptation!

This modern-looking patisserie is the place to be for those with a sweet tooth! A charming boutique that lives up to its name, since every pastry prepared here is a true jewel. You can't help but salivate at the window display, filled with all these little beauties: celestes, arrepiados, madeleines. Don't leave without trying the emblematic pampilho, the Ribatejo's and Santarém's little delicacy, accompanied by a hot drink or orange juice. The terrace facing Largo do Seminário lends itself to this gourmet experience.

Under its charming aspects, this chocolate factory in the heart of the historical center of Coimbra is formidable. The first shock is visual, as the chocolates on display are all very appealing. The selection of truffles is impressive, there are also all kinds of chocolates in bulk, bars with beautiful packaging and assortments to compose yourself. Dark, milk, white, kumquat, hazelnut, coffee, port, from different countries. Take several, you will offer them to your friends and family if you manage not to eat them before your return!
