The Folks was named one of the Top 100 Coffee Shops in the World
Yep, you read that right. Out of thousands of cafés worldwide, we made it to the list — and we’re beyond proud to put Lisbon on the global coffee map
A Moment to Remember — Madrid Coffee Fest 2025
The energy at Madrid Coffee Fest was insane. Roasters, baristas, café owners, and coffee lovers from across the globe gathered under one roof to share stories, techniques, and of course — lots (and lots) of coffee.
We brought some of our signature beans from Lisbon, hosted cuppings, and shared the love we pour into every brew at our cafés. The response? Heartwarming. From fellow roasters to random visitors, so many people stopped by our stand and told us, "We’ve heard of The Folks — you’re doing something really special."
At CoffeeFest Madrid 2025, the organizers unveiled the inaugural "World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops" ranking, based on a mix of expert and public votes (70% expert, 30% public) and judged on 8 criteria: coffee quality, barista expertise, customer service, innovation, ambiance, sustainability, food/pastry quality, and consistency.

The Folks, which was recognized at Madrid Coffee Fest as one of the world’s top 100 coffee shops…
Being included in a global Top 100 list isn’t just about bragging rights. It’s about the hours our baristas put into mastering their pour. The farmers and producers we work with. The cozy corners of all our cafes where the guests share a coffee and a moment. The whole journey — from the farm to your heart.
