Tasty coffee and pastries - Edit
We had two iced coffee, Bolas de Berlim and two regular croissants. All of them were really good and the staff was extremely kind.

Delightful experience - Edit
Beautiful cafe, lovely staff, delightful ambiance. We had the avocado toast, shakshuka, plain croissant, God’s Bread, and bola de berlim and it was all excellent. The coffee wasn’t great but I had trouble finding nice coffee anywhere in Portugal so it must be a regional thing
Read morePros: All vegan, Delicious, Nice ambiance

Vegan - Edit
We went there while visiting Porto. The two people at the counter didn’t seem to know if their products had soy. They just said after us asking questions that everything had soy. We could tell they were assuming rather than knowing for sure.
Read morePros: Vegan, Variety of pastries
Cons: Workers not able to help people with soy allergies, Workers did not try to find out about ingredients
APADOCA
Olá! Agradecemos sinceramente a sua visita ao nosso espaço e por partilhar a sua experiência.
Read moreLamentamos muito que tenha saído com essa impressão. A verdade é que utilizamos soja em praticamente 99% dos nossos produtos, como parte do nosso compromisso com opções veganas saborosas e acessíveis. Por esse motivo, quando nos deparamos com alergias severas à soja, infelizmente, temos muita dificuldade em garantir segurança alimentar — e preferimos ser honestos quanto a isso, mesmo quando parece que não temos uma resposta exata no momento.
A nossa equipa está informada sobre os ingredientes utilizados, mas numa situação como essa, em que quase tudo contém soja (ou pode ter traços), não queremos correr nenhum risco com a saúde dos nossos clientes. A nossa intenção nunca é deixar de ajudar, mas sim ser transparentes sobre as nossas limitações práticas.
Agradecemos o seu feedback — ele ajuda-nos a refletir sobre como podemos comunicar melhor em situações delicadas como esta.
Com carinho,, ApadocA

Best pastries hands down - Edit
I love this place, whenever I visit from Lisbon, I always pop in. The pistachio croissant is the absolute best. Highly recommend. I’ve had a few of their savory pastries as well, and they are also delicious.

Pastry counter to die for! - Edit
The pastry counter is packed full of sweet and savoury goods, so much to choose from! Very chill vibe and friendly staff. Main meals are a tad pricey but good portions. I was bit disappointed that the vegan egg only looked like an egg and they didn't try to replicate the taste, the yolk was slightly spicy.
Read moreWould definitely return to try more pastry counter items!

Dear guest,
Read moreThank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed the pastry counter — it's one of our proudest corners
We understand your thoughts on the vegan egg — it's designed more as a playful visual touch than a perfect flavor replica, but we appreciate your point and will keep it in mind.
It means a lot that you'd like to come back — we’ll be here with more delicious pastries waiting for you!

Amazing food but not pet friendly - Edit
The food is absolutely delicious! The only downside is that it's NOT a pet friendly space. We were denied entrance indoors with our small dog and were invited to stay outside when it was extremely warm.
Read moreAccording to the portuguese law, pets are allowed to enter and stay at any indoors space, including restaurants.
The legislation governing this matter is **Law no. 15/2018, of March 27**, which amended the legal framework for accessing and operating commercial, service, and restaurant activities (Decree-Law no. 10/2015).
For this matter, the decision of allowing the entrance of pets is exclusively of the responsubility of the owner of the space.
Hence, given the fact that this is a vegan restaurant it shocks me that the owners actively choose not to allow pets inside the restaurant.
The day we visited it was especially warm, hence staying outside was not an option. Portugal is not pet friendly in general and having traveled to other countries in Europe where pets are allowed everywhere, this is quite sad.
Fortunately we have found vegan places that are allowed bit more evolved in terms of mentality and where our furry friend is allowed indoors.
Updated from previous review on 2025-07-07
Pros: The food is delicious, The deserts are traditional and delicious, The space is renewed and more restaurant like
Cons: They are not pet friendly, Only allow pets outside
APADOCA
Dear Luciana,
Read moreWe are APadoca, located in the centre of Porto, and we are indeed a pet-friendly vegan bakery and restaurant. 🐶
We welcome furry friends both indoors and outdoors, and many of our guests visit us with their companions — it’s part of who we are and what we stand for.
We know there may have been a misunderstanding. Based on your photographs you put in tripadviser we can say with 100% certainty that this event was not at our restaurant.
It seems your review may be referring to another restaurant, but we'd truly love to have you visit us one day and experience APadoca for yourself. You're always welcome — and so is your dog! 🐾
Warm regards,

Arriving in Porto on a public holiday (São João), some vegan restaurants weren't open. The walk to A Padoca was so worth it. Great service, a super vegan menu, great atmosphere, option to sit out, or in. After 14 days on the Caminho Santiago from Lisboa, this was definitely a great start to my break in Porto.
