Our roastery
We roast it ourselves, here in Lisbon.
Since 2024 every bag starts in our own roastery in Lisbon. We source coffee from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and beyond through exporters and importers we work with season after season — and roast in small batches, every week.
01
Chosen lot by lot
Seasonal harvests and microlots, cupped and picked by us before they reach the roaster.
02
Roasted weekly
Small batches, profiled for filter, espresso or omni. Packed within three days of roasting.
03
Poured the same day
What we serve in the cafés is exactly what we sell in the bag. No second-tier blend.

Good coffee. Got it too go. The inside of the place looked small didn't see any seating.

The best Coffee I ever had. All employees were really helpful and the food is very tasty and very big portions
★★★★★
The best coffee I've had in Lisbon! I ordered an iced latte; it had a rich, intense flavor and didn't need any sugar! I highly recommend it!
★★★★★
Amazing place and service! 👏 Went there for coffee and cake; super tasty and the wait staff were great! I wish the wait staff from The Folks could train the wait staff at other establishments in Lisbon! The Folks staff know what it means to work in the service industry - friendly, enthusiastic, fast and efficient!
★★★★★
Great stop in the morning before visiting the monastery! Good service and excellent food. Brought back some long stored memories with my Ukrainian pancakes 🥹

The best coffee in Lisbon, without a doubt! We've been customers for years, we love everything here! The service is excellent, the coffee beans are of the highest quality, and the space is gorgeous! It's worth a visit; anyone in Lisbon has to come here!

We roast it ourselves: inside the roastery
A roast walked through from green to drop, and why a locked profile matters more to us than a clever one.
