WHY A rare chance to savor the sweet side of Portugal.

WHAT This Artesia store serves what amounts to lunch-sausage sandwiches and a weekend-only selection of classic salt cod dishes-but the main reason to make the trip here is the selection of Portuguese breads and pastries. Try the queijadas, little tartlets flavored with almond, pineapple, caramel, coconut, sweet beans, orange, or a creamy custard. Above all else, make sure to grab a loaf of massa sovada, a sweet bread blessed with just a hint of cinnamon.

WHO Expatriates hungry for a reminder of home and those curious about the tastes of the Iberian Peninsula.
