A Portuguese Bakery at the End of Cape Cod

The Provincetown Portuguese Bakery is a long-standing Portuguese bakery on Commercial Street in Provincetown, Massachusetts, carrying forward turn-of-the-century recipes that predate the shop's founding by Antonio Brito in the 1930s. Alongside traditional American bakery items, the bakery turns out fresh, crisp malassadas8 classic pasteis de nata with a flaky, buttery crust — also offered in a lemon variation; and large, soft loaves and rolls of Portuguese sweet bread. Its bolas de Berlim are fried and filled with custard, rolled in granulated sugar, while savory offerings range from breakfast sandwiches and linguica rolls to pasteis de massa tenra meat pies. The bakery operates seasonally, typically opening in mid-April or May, and many items sell out early in the day. - AsNotedIn
