Started my day over at Tia Maria’s for a portuguese breakfast. Have made a couple visits in the past and some how never gave a review. Started with a Maria’s Iced Bolacha Latte. Came over with good presentation. Took a couple sips and mixed the topping into the drink and thought it was pretty good. Kept it simple with a breakfast sandwich, which included toasted sweet bread, egg, chourico and portuguese Sao Jorge cheese. Yah baby. Nice sandwich. A little sweet and spicy hollandaise sauce on the side would put it over the top. Comes with a simple side of lighly fried potatoes.

A very nice place, especially since we were here as they opened. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great food.

Great all around breakfast, lunch, or dessert and coffee! I’m a coffee addict and their lattes and coffees are with Jim’s Coffee Beans which I love! It’s basically a Portuguese Style Cafe! Comfortable atmosphere and great service! Sunday mornings be there before 9 or expect a line! You have to wait when it’s one of the best!! It’s worth the wait !

It is one of the most genuinely authentic Portuguese restaurants I’ve been to. Everything is made fresh to order and is all made in house. In fact one of my wife’s favorite sausage (Alheira) is home made by the owners aunt.

Great food and service. Loved the outdoor dining along the cobblestone street. Felt like I was in Europe.

This was THE BEST food that I’ve had at ANY restaurant. I would eat my last meal here, without a doubt! The shrimp Mozambique was delicious and warm with a hint of spice, and the codfish balls were amazing. The rodelas were also very good, although they left a bunch of grease on the table… The queijo da serra was a wonderful cheese, with a softer texture and a slightly sour flavour, while the queijo São Jorge was milder and harder. One won’t be disappointed at Tia Maria’s European Café!

It’s a good place to have great family moments. The food is good. We went for breakfast (I got an delicious omelet). I enjoyed the hot chocolate. They have a good costumer service and prices were acceptable. We singed happy birthday to my son and when we finished everybody in the room applauded. I recommend this place. I wish they had parking lot.

Ordered a Portuguese Steak Azorean Style. Didn’t come with any sauce, peppers, or eggs. This might be due to the online ordering process not being very user friendly.

We were blown away by the very excellent prices. The coffee was excellent but we were never offered a refill. Would have liked more lol The food was unimpressive but not bad. Just okay. HOWEVER…the host was not friendly and our server was awful. Even with the good prices I would never go back. Definitely go if you want a cheap meal and don’t care about good service.
