Wooly Pâtisserie is a Portuguese pastry shop founded in 2015 in Waterloo by Marcelo Caetano. The Nata Mobile followed in 2016, then the shops in Stockel (2018), Etterbeek (2023) and Uccle (2025). Portuguese pastry chefs make the pastel de nata in 7 flavours, sweet specialities and Portuguese savouries, which you buy in store or online.
Who is behind Wooly
Wooly Pâtisserie was born in Waterloo in 2015. Behind the name, a person: Marcelo Caetano.
In February 2016, the team of On n'est pas des pigeons (RTBF, Belgian public television) came to taste his pastries and introduced him as “Marcelo Caetano, patron du Wooly Waterloo”. Ten years on, the house counts three shops across Brussels and Walloon Brabant.
Your pastéis de nata are made by Portuguese pastry chefs. It is the only way we know to serve you a crust that cracks and a cream that melts, as in Lisbon, not an imitation.
