Our bola

How we make the bola de Berlim

Two things, done properly: bolas de Berlim and specialty coffee. These are the ingredients that go into every bola.

Ingredients

  • Whole Madagascar vanilla pods
  • Portuguese lemon zest
  • High-protein flour
  • Whole milk from northern Portugal
  • Eggs from Portuguese cage-free (ao solo) hens
  • No additives

Every hour

Our bolas are baked fresh every hour and served warm.

Com creme or sem creme?

Bola de Berlim with egg custard piped visibly on top rather than hidden inside
com creme — Split and crowned with egg custard — on top, in plain sight, as it should be.
Sugar-rolled bolas de Berlim without cream, in close-up with serving tongs
sem creme — Soft dough, crackling sugar and cinnamon, nothing else. For the purists.
