Founded in Lisbon in 2022, The Folks is a specialty coffee and brunch brand built on one clear goal: to serve exceptional coffee and amazing food, every day. We combine quality specialty coffee with honest, flavorful dishes—creating a space where people feel at home. What started as one café has grown into a network shaped by simplicity, taste, and community.
Our very first home in Baixa-Chiado — a cozy corner where our love for coffee and people took root. This is where mornings bloom with the aroma of freshly brewed cups and the warmth of heartfelt welcomes. Whether you're a familiar face or just passing through, you're always part of our story.

Here, every cup of specialty coffee and every breakfast bite is served with heart — a little moment of peace amid Alfama’s timeless rhythm.
