Joey Bats Café at The Essex Market

I’m obsessed. The blueberry are the favorite but they’re all so good. The chocolate has the perfect amount of chocolate too. Also always love a classic!

These Portuguese pastries at Joey Bats Cafe are insane !! It’s like a Crème Brûlée + Croissant in one & I’m low key addicted. I’ve put so many of my friends onto these tarts cuz they’re that GOOD. I also get their black coffee drip and the quality is great!

Joey Bats Café is one of my favorite spots for Portuguese treats! This was my first time visiting their Essex Market location. I came a bit later in the day, so the pastry I wanted was sold out, but I was still able to grab one of my favorites, the blueberry Pasteis de Nata, and as always, it was delicious. Joey Bats truly has some of the best Portuguese tart so when I find one near I always get some. The café is inside the Essex Market, with plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs.

If you enjoy Portuguese Pastel de Nata, then Joey Bats is the place to go. During my visit they were selling three varieties; Original, Passion Fruit, and Cinnamon. Being a purist, I stuck to the Original and was quite pleased with the delicate, flaky crust and the delicious custard filling. The coffee was great too. It was a treat to get a Cinnamon stick for the coffee. Great service with a smile.

Light 9 Pasteis de Nata. Great texture and flavor. Bc it’s mildly flavored you can really taste the cinnamon on top and it goes well with it. Nice flaky texture. 8/10 Wildberry flavor. It tastes good too but I prefer to fully taste the normal egg tart my flavor.
