The best artisanal sourdough bread in Cascais

Table of Contents

So happy when I found Cascais

Before I moved to Estoril I searched for the different things that I love. I wanted to make sure that I could have access to a few of my passions, like art, art supplies, and bread. Yes! sourdough bread.

You cannot imagine how happy I was when I found out that Cascais has a sourdough bakery. I found them on Instagram and started following them immediately. Their lovely bread looked mouth-watering, and I could hardly wait to get some.

Sourdough bread from Cria: The best!

I was delighted to discover a fantastic bakery in Cascais—and even better, one that specializes in sourdough! As many of you know, I have a passion for sourdough and am always on the hunt for new bakeries to try. The moment I heard about this place, I knew I had to check it out.

Join me as I explore this amazing bakery, taste some incredible sourdough creations, and meet the passionate bakers behind it all.

Whether you’re a fellow sourdough enthusiast or simply a good bread lover, this bakery will surely impress.

Stepping into the bakery, I was greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread.

The warm, inviting atmosphere was filled with the sights and sounds of a true artisanal bakery—crusty loaves cooling on racks, the hum of conversation, and the clatter of bakers at work. It was clear from the start that this was a special spot dedicated to the craft of sourdough.

For the Flour Aficionados

They bake with a special flour called Farinhas Paulinho da Horta and sell it to their clients. That was another reason for me to do a little gratitude dance.

Their bread is delicious, and I highly recommend it.

Order your bread beforehand because they sell out quickly and with good reason!

How to get to Cria

Cria is just up the hill from the Cascais market and center of Cascais. It’s an easy walk if you are not doing this under the midday sun in the summer!

As you go up the hill, it’s on your left past a car mechanic or garage (I’m not quite sure which). It’s at the bottom of a building, and you need to be attentive because there is a gorgeous overgrown tree that partially covers it.

I only went on and on about how to get there because I missed it when I went there the first time!
