This is a fantastic specialty coffee shop near the modern waterfront in Lisbon. I ordered the syriniki, which was fantastic. … My flat white was delightful with a variety of notes. My wife’s citrus raf was also excellent, first time that we had a raf. Top notch!
★★★★★
I'm won over by the tasty coffee, the free carafe of water and the cake, and all at a good price in the centre of Lisbon. I can only recommend a visit if you need a pick-me-up after a long day of exploring the city.
