Lisboa · since 2022
Slow moments in a fast city.
Six cafés in Lisbon, one roastery, and coffee sourced from producers around the world through trusted partners. Sit down, stay a while — or take a bag home.




The coffee line
Every bean holds its own flavour.
Roasted weekly in our own Lisbon roastery. Single origins and blends for filter, espresso and everything in between.

All cafés & hoursOur 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.

Delicious vegan options! Went here twice during our stay. We had the avocado bread, the vegan kimchi cream cheese bread and the protein oats. Their matcha is not sweetened, so ask for sugar if you prefer it sweeter :) A little disappointing to pay extra to exchange cow's for vegan joghurt. Great service, friendly staff!
Excellent brunch, delicious meal, very pleasant staff, French-style croissants and Swiss bread, hot matcha tea, delicious avocado toast, salmon brioche, and an incredible poached egg.
We'll be back...
Great speciality coffee, but they have other great options like Cacao and Homemade Chai Latte.
Excellent. The salmon and avocado toasts are very, very good.
I think you should try other local places. Yes, the staff are friendly and the drinks and food are good. The coffee is well-made, and there's a really good barista inside. But as I said, if you're from Europe, the prices aren't exactly the same as in Germany and France... But it's worth it for a good coffee...
The coffees are fantastic, truly exceptional, we loved them…
