R. Maria Andrade 181.0 mi from Bairro Alto & Príncipe Real centrelast reviewed August 2026

The owner personally guides visitors through the roasting compound, explaining single origins and blends as he goes, in a shop with roots stretching back to an earlier address on Rua da Misericórdia.

A Lisbon roastery where the owner still gives the tour himself.

The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

Dramático★★ Specialty

A one-man coffee bar where the owner pulls every shot himself and will talk you through the beans if you let him. There's no food menu here, just coffee, done with real care.

Hello Kristof Bica★★ Specialty

V60 pour-over and filter coffee sit on the menu next to espresso, all from Hello Kristof's own roastery, a step up from the average Bairro Alto brunch stop.

Kossies Cafe★ Everyday

A brunch spot in Príncipe Real built around açaí bowls and a food-forward crowd, but worth the stop for the coffee alone: espresso handled with more care than the menu lets on.
