The story
On a recent trip to the Azores, the team from Sentieri Golosi stopped by Pastelaria Machado on Cais do Pico for a casual breakfast. Their take was refreshingly straightforward: the coconut dessert here is “great,” and the tuna brioche, while only “passable,” still earns a thumbs-up. Prices are notably low, making this pastry shop a practical, no‑fuss start to the day.
The spot leans local and unpretentious, the kind of place where you grab a sweet bite and watch the harbor come alive. That coconut dessert seems to be the clear standout—worth ordering without hesitation. For travelers wanting an inexpensive, genuine taste of island baking, Pastelaria Machado delivers exactly that.

I also had a brioche with tuna, a brioche with a bit of tuna and a salad leaf, you could still survive.
