Portuguese Custard Tarts With Blistered Crusts, West Seattle
Taste a caramelized center wrapped in flaky pastry at a bakery devoted to one particular sweet.
🥧 A First Bite of Portugal
Start with the specialty at Nata Seattle, where the baking centers on traditional Portuguese custard tarts. For a first order, let that focus lead rather than turning the choice into an expedition. A bakery dedicated to one particular treat makes a pleasing change from scanning a sprawling dessert wish list.
The contrast does the talking. Laminated crust brings flaky, blistered edges around a creamy center, with caramelization adding another dimension to the bite. Take a moment with the shell before rushing to the middle. This is a pastry for paying attention to, even when the rest of the day has other ideas.
Find the bakery at 5608 Delridge Wy SW in West Seattle. Put that destination into the plan before heading out, and keep this stop centered on the baking itself. Leave a little room in the day for a sweet detour across the neighborhood.
