Would recommend for coffee or a spot to work and have some easy brunch. The barista (Vitali) is pretty talented and you can be sure that your coffee is going to be fine.

Really nice staff, very modern and cozy interior. It’s not very busy over the weekend so we were able to find a table for brunch for 6 people. They don’t have only vegetarian stuff, I had a avo toast and it was great, you can get extra bacon too. And they do really delish flat white.

One of the best designed cafes around, it’s split with a member only club where the front desk gets a bit on edge if you inquire or look at, barista was awesome and so was the banana bread maker.

Best spot in Lisbon to work and have a great coffee. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I had the Salmon toast that was beautiful and delicious.
