Vasco da Gama Center0.1 mi from Parque das Nações centrelast reviewed August 2026

Part of a Lisbon roaster that's cured its own beans since 1977, with an extensive single-origin range sold right at the counter in Vasco da Gama Center. Worth a stop to pick up a bag, not to linger over the cup.

A Lisbon roaster's mall outpost, worth it for the bag more than the cup.

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.

Zagora Brunch★★ Specialty

Zagora Brunch pairs its Moroccan-inspired brunch menu with a proper pour-over program in Parque das Nações, no small feat for a spot known mainly for its food.

Sense of Coffee★★ Specialty

V60 and Aeropress sit on the drinks menu alongside espresso at this Parque das Nações counter, the kind of manual-brew commitment that got it a European Coffee Trip Portugal top-10 nod and a BrewAtlas pour-over pick.

Nina★ Everyday

Brunch here is popular enough to draw a walk across Parque das Nações, and the espresso isn't an afterthought: beans come from The Folks, not a house blend.
