Cakes at Dawn

There are several Portuguese bakery cult places, unknown to the general public, in most Portuguese towns, where hungry clients gather late into the night in search of a freshly baked cake. These cake factories sell directly to the street and are to be found in the most improbable places of Portuguese cities, attracting the most extraordinary “urban fauna”. We ventured into this world in a few cold winter nights, together with journalist Katya Delimbeuf, and photographer Hugo Teixeira, and met some of the bar hoppers, clubbers, night owls and other characters of this universe, and registered some of its environments, patrons and workers.
