★★★★★
A lovely little café, a bit away from the bustle, for a relaxed break with great specialty coffee and a nice small menu. We liked it so much that we went back several times.
★★★★★
Came here three times, ate and drank the exact same thing each time, and there's a good reason we kept coming back. We had the hashbrown pastrami and it was probably one of the best things we ate during our trip.
★★★★★
The coffee is truly amazing! Try the barista set so you have the chance to experience different coffees for great price🤍 ☕
★★★★★
An excellent stop for coffee and a bite to eat… excellent coffee, food and passion fruit lemonade, great prices, very friendly staff, a clean space, outdoor seating. Definitely recommended.
★★★★★
The best cappuccino of my life, and the nata coffee?!?! Brilliant, a calm and super cosy atmosphere, and excellent service.
★★★★★
Such a cute spot and a hidden gem. We have a 19 month old and they accommodated her so well. She got a little basket of toys she was busy with. … The service was top notch!
★★★★★
Hands down the most tasty latte I have tried in Lisbon … Chill atmosphere and nice service, good to come here to read or work a bit.
★★★★★
Excellent breakfast/brunch food! Casual and friendly environment. Eggs Benedict and has brown waffles are amazing.
★★★★★
Cozy place with high quality food and coffee. Syrniki is one of the best options you can go for: not too sweet and perfect texture. Dog-friendly. Staff is very welcoming.
★★★★★
Everything was beautifully balanced, from the perfectly cooked egg and incredibly soft bread to the coffee and the whole experience. But the absolute star for me was the seasonal Pastel de Nata drink. 🤯
★★★★★
Amazing place to drink quality coffee with a choice of a few different beans. Go here to take a resting break and get great service.
★★★★★
The syrniki were the highlight of my visit — soft, fresh, and perfectly golden, served with sour cream and berry jam. Great coffee, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere. I will definitely visit again.
★★★★★
Very kind and helpful people. Amazing chocolate cake and coffee. Thanks!
★★★★★
Amazing service and the honey cake was divine! Will definitely come back.

Loved the Turkish eggs and oat milk cappuccino! Friendly staff and didn’t have to wait too long.
★★★★★
Excellent coffee and very friendly staff. It has that chill and cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours.

Very tasty food. The Turkish eggs and the pastel de nata iced coffee were especially delicious. Great breakfast options for vegetarians too.
★★★★★
Great service, and the food was excellent. The shakshuka, pastrami Benedict, and syrniki were all delicious!
★★★★★
Food and drinks are well made and original, and the space is lovely both inside and out.
★★★★★
Best cappuccino in Lisbon. Also the most beautiful, with real latte art.
