For the second year in a row, The Folks has been named among the World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops 2026, officially ranking #88 in the world.

This recognition places The Folks among the best coffee shops globally and reinforces our position as one of the leading destinations for specialty coffee in Lisbon.

From Lisbon to the international coffee stage - we are proud to represent Portugal once again.

One of the Best Coffee Shops in the World — Two Years in a Row

Being included in the Top 100 Coffee Shops in the World is already a big honor. Ranking #88 confirms our ongoing commitment to quality, hospitality, and innovation within the specialty coffee industry.

Announced at Madrid Coffee Fest 2026, the rating was determined through a combined voting system of 70% expert jury votes (coffee professionals, industry leaders, specialists) and 30% public votes from coffee lovers worldwide. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that the ranking reflects not just coffee excellence, but the complete café experience — something we work on every single day at The Folks.

Our philosophy remains simple: it’s not only what’s in the cup - it’s what happens around it.

As Lisbon continues to attract travelers from around the world, we are proud to be listed as a must-visit coffee shop in Portugal.
