  1. For the most part, I'm guessing this is a Portuguese bakery despite the few Italian treats they offer. There are Brigadeiros, Pasteis de Nata, various slices of freshly made cakes, fruity pastries, and croissants to name a few baked goods they offer. Blue Ribbon also offers fresh coffee to go with any of your baked treats. Prices for their baked goods on display aren't shown, so just ask if you are curious.

    Pasteis de Nata: Sweet, but light–it won't make you cringe. The flakiness of the pastry is perfect and not stale, so it was made fresh when I stopped by earlier. I ordered three of them, and all were tasty. The custard on one of them was a little too burnt to my liking, which sucks because that's the one I hoped I wouldn't get. Oh well.

    Croissant and Sweet Bread: Both of these were pretty big, so I was able to share them with someone else. The croissant was flaky and tasted great when warm and with butter. The Sweet Bread was a little too dry, but a dip in my cup of coffee made up for it.

    If you aren't into any of their baked goods, they have hot foods you could also offer–from simple sandwiches and plates to a few Portuguese dishes (the plate with linguica and eggs sounds really good). There's a hanging menu with the prices listed that spans the size of the restaurant. The lady working the cash register was really friendly. Everyone eating inside seemed laid back and relaxed; seems like a comfy place to spend some time if you've got nothing to do.

    Parking wise, you're better off parking at the 2hr lots next to the Dunkin Donuts on Morris (across from Morris Thai). You could park on the side streets, but it's almost always full even during work hours.
