They are very hard to come by these days.
There used to be a Portuguese bakery called Universal Bakery at the corner of Rupert and E. 22nd in Vancouver, but the property was repurposed and now a multi-level complex.
The only place that I have been able to find them readily available is in Burnaby,at Fortuna Bakery on Hasting Street. They are okay and hard to get fresh as most of it is made in advance or refrigerated. I suggest heating them up in the oven before eating.
Another place is Union Market on 810 Union Street in the Strathcona neighbourhood in Vancouver. Their natas are perhaps better but they don't have the sheer volume in comparison to Fortuna Bakery, so don't be disappointed if they run out.
The last place I know of is a Chinese bakery called Michele Cake Shop in Kerrisdale. I have personally never been myself, but I know a few people who mentioned they liked it. It is more like the Macanese style of nata as opposed to the Portuguese style if that is what you are looking for. Call ahead to check if they have any.
There are probably a few more bakeries out there but either too far or that I don't know of. Good luck!
