Tuga Pastries Alexandria

Tuga Pastries sits on McEvoy Street at Alexandria, an inner-city Sydney suburb with a thriving food scene. A much-loved bakery specialising in Portuguese pastries, it's earned a strong reputation — combining beautifully made Portuguese tarts (pastéis de nata) and treats with good coffee, the kind of dedicated, craft-focused spot whose authentic pastries have won a devoted following.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Portuguese pastries — the custard tarts a highlight — good coffee and a welcoming Alexandria setting, perfect for a sweet treat, a coffee-and-tart stop or something delicious to take away. A spot that's nailed a beloved speciality like the Portuguese tart really stands out, and Tuga has clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 790 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The range, the tarts and other treats, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular spot can sell out of favourites and gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and arriving early before a special trip — particularly if you've got your heart set on the Portuguese tarts at Tuga in Alexandria.
