Stop in for the pastries, and don't skip the coffee: the roast here breaks from Lisbon's classic espresso mould, landing bright and acidic rather than dark and traditional.

A Lisbon bakery whose espresso quietly breaks from the classic pour.

What we love

  • Pastries are the main draw, with coffee a secondary reason to visit for most reviewers
  • Roast is a deliberate specialty-style choice, distinct from classic Portuguese espresso
  • Flavour profile runs bright and acidic rather than the traditional dark-roast norm

Dong Coffee★★ Specialty

Named single origins from South and Central America and Nepal, a V60 poured alongside the espresso, and beans sold to take home make this the coffee-nerd stop in Saldanha.

A20★★ Specialty

The CappuOrange is reason enough to stop in on Av. de Roma, a coffee drink you won't find spelled out on any other menu in the neighbourhood.

Drop. Specialty Coffee & Brunch★★ Specialty

Pour-over, espresso and a house tonic drink, each tuned to what you actually like and poured with the kind of attention that turns a cup into a custom order.
