Great cafe for brunch! Food was beautifully presented and was delicious. The Turkish Eggs were so tasty and flavourful. Dishes were reasonably priced. The specialty coffees were quite pricey but you can tell it is good quality and they take their coffee very seriously. I was quite unsure of the aesthetic they were going for with all those pillows. Seemed unhygienic even though the place was clean.

The food was incredible, I had the scrambled eggs with extra avocado and it was honestly the perfect breakfast. The coffee was just how I liked it and the place didn’t even charge extra for the oat milk. I liked the vibe of the café a lot. There is a flower shop inside, which makes the whole place smell so good!!! Love that there is lots of light and cool interior. Now my complaint would be the service. We waited at the door for quite a long time without being acknowledged. One staff member was really sluggish and seemed quite unfriendly. I hope we just caught a bad day but I am used to better service than that…

Beautiful cafe that opens early. It is the only cafe in Portugal that made it to the Top 100 cafes in the world. What surprised us is their breakfast is so good. It serves clean breakfast, no bacon and sausages. We had the Turkish breakfast and the mushroom truffle brioche. Impressive! Service is prompt and nice place with fresh flowers for sale at the entrance.
