Lisboa · since 2022
Slow moments in a fast city.
Six cafés in Lisbon, one roastery, and coffee we buy straight from the people who grow it. 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.

Each café has its own light, its own terrace and its own regulars. All of them pour the same coffee.
All cafés & hoursOur 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.

Very yummy especially for brunch very friendly staff and lots of options
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
Excellent place, convenient, fast. Menu with many options, and relatively inexpensive prices! I recommend it.
This cafe is a great spot for brunch. They have a wide selection of delicious drinks and food, and the patio seating offers a great view of the street. The service is friendly and efficient, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal.
Perfect for breakfast or brunch. The pancakes are amazing and they offer original latte recipes (pistachio, tiramisu, etc.).
Great find! Excellent food. Well done, we had a lovely time as a family. Halal meat and vegetarian options available.
