Is there a good bakery in Carvoeiro, nice rolls, bread and what time does it open ?

I know the supermarkets sell decent stuff but you can't beat fresh local staff of life !!

On the right just as you enter the village on the inroad you will find the pastelaria Fabrica Velha, not sure what time it opens but it is early tel no285354278

THe best bread we have found to date is from Pinge Doce, a french country style loaf. They seem to do only 1 bake /day so get there early .

Most municipal markets have a bakers - normally good value and as fresh as you can get - try the Mercado do Carvoeiro

Halfway up restaurant hill on left hand side next to Bradys bar is a very good bakery. lovely bread and cakes, pie's also for those that need them.
seems to open early. Also the cafe further up on the corner opp Barclays bank sells nice cakes and bread.

The bakery by Brady's Bar is good as is the one at the Mercado.

Thanks for the info. I'll certainly be giving them a try.

Supermarket Bom Dia in town also do fresh bread rolls.

And it's got a donkey!!

Do not think it has been around for a couple of years

Most of these replies are places that sell bread not a bakery

The shop or the donkey ??

The donkey would have come in handy to get me up the hill !

I understand the 'the Donkey' ran away with a hinny from Lagoa.

Helydoce, a bit along from the Blue Elephant car wash in Lagoa is a lovely bakery, great range of breads, pastries, cakes etc., and has a nice cafe attached

second this one. really nice brown bread rolls (just inside the window in a basket with other rolls etc)


extensive range of pastries & cakes etc, guaranteed you will buy some if you visit.
