Choosing one thing might be the hardest part of a visit to Noça. This bakery café in Mahaai brings sweet and savoury baking together, whether you want a coffee break or a box to take away.

About this restaurant

Noça Bake Shop is at Mahaaiweg 23 in Willemstad. It describes itself as a micro bakery, with a selection that gives you a reason to look at the counter before deciding what to order.

Portuguese-style custard tarts, cakes and other sweet bakes sit alongside savoury options. Sandwiches and quiche also feature in the café's offering, making it a possibility for a light meal as well as a treat. The selection changes, so a photograph online is inspiration rather than a guarantee of what will be there.

You can sit down indoors or take your order with you. For a shared coffee break, we would pick a few different bakes for the table. If you want a larger quantity or something specific for an occasion, contact the bakery beforehand.

Noça fits a day spent exploring beyond the waterfront districts.

What we think

We would come here with an appetite and leave the final choice until we see the counter. Noça is particularly useful when one person wants something sweet and another wants a savoury bite. Sharing a small selection makes more sense than trying to choose the single “must-order” item.
