Welcome to Bau do Cha Tea Room, an enchanting little oasis located at R. Salgueiro Maia 17A, 2805-234 Almada, Portugal. This delightful cafe offers a unique experience, merging a cozy atmosphere with a selection of high-quality teas and home-made pastries, perfect for tea aficionados and casual visitors alike.

As you step into Bau do Cha, you're greeted by a charming vintage decor that feels both warm and inviting—it's a place where time seems to stand still, yet it's alive with a vibrant ambiance. Customers often rave about the welcoming atmosphere, with many describing the staff, especially the proprietor, as exceptionally friendly and attentive. It's clear that this tea room is not just a business; it’s a labor of love.

The menu features an impressive variety of teas that can cater to every palate. From light and refreshing herbal infusions to bold black teas, there’s something here for everyone. Don’t miss the chance to try the renowned cold tea and homemade lemonade, expertly prepared without any added sugar, highlighting the natural flavors and freshness of the ingredients.

For those with a penchant for sweets, Bau do Cha offers delicious homemade cakes that are irresistibly flavorful, though a word of caution—these delightful pastries may tempt you off your diet! Whether it's a slice of cake or a light snack, the quality is evident in every bite. Customers like Carlos Lopes and Dario Angelo appreciate the irresistible flavors and high-quality offerings, while also praising the cafe for its beautiful outdoor terrace and ample parking.

While the cafe doubles as a serene spot to unwind, its closing time of 8 PM makes it an ideal venue for a leisurely end-of-day gathering with friends or a reflective solo visit with a novel in hand. However, it’s worth noting from thoughtful feedback like that of Marianne_the_warrior that there’s room for improvement in the pastry selection; perhaps an expanded variety could elevate the experience even further.

Whether you're a local or just passing through Almada, Bau do Cha Tea Room promises a truly delightful experience: quality teas, scrumptious pastries, and heartfelt hospitality. It's an invitation to sit back, relax, and indulge your senses while enjoying a slow-paced moment away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Make sure to stop by and discover why many, like Paulo Guerreiro, keep coming back year after year!

Atendimento excelente. Bolos caseiros demasiado saborosos para a dieta. Espaço muito agradável. A provar o chá frio e a limonada, preparados sem nenhum açúcar adicionado.

Local muito agradável, produtos de alta qualidade e decoração fantástica (não é parado no tempo como alguém diz nos comentários, é vintage), esplanada, estacionamento, e proprietária simpática e competente. Tem bolos caseiros feitos por ela e também uma imensidão de chás.

Agradável espaço e muito acolhedor, aberto até às 20h o que permite um prolongado chá de final de tarde. Apenas não gostei do pão da torrada que comi por não se parecer nem saber a pão Alentejano, conforme me tinha sido indicado pela funcionária já de longa idade mas muito querida. Em termos de variedade de pastelaria, esta não é muita e talvez fosse necessário apostar significativamente neste aspecto. A repetir.
