Tia Maria's European Cafe
About
Tia Maria’s European Café is a family-owned Portuguese café on the cobblestone streets of New Bedford’s historic whaling district, across from the Whaling Museum. Breakfast brings together sweet bread, bolo lêvedo, Portuguese sausages and eggs, including a Mozambique-style Benedict with a linguiça patty. São Jorge and Serra cheese sandwiches, pastéis de nata and the café’s custard-tart-topped latte give it a distinctive Portuguese identity alongside familiar brunch dishes. Reviews often celebrate the pastries, generous plates and charming setting, while some mention cramped seating, waits or inconsistent service during busy periods.
