Our roastery

We roast it ourselves, a few streets away.

Since 2024 every bag starts in our own roaster in Lisbon. We buy from producers we know by name — in Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, El Salvador and Rwanda — and roast in small batches, every week.

01 Sourced direct Microlots and seasonal harvests, chosen at the table with the people who grew them.
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.

We found this café through Google and decided to give it a try. It had a few vegan options, which was a nice bonus. The food was tasty, the coffee was excellent, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. We'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a good café with vegan choices.
