R. de São Miguel 870.1 mi from Alfama, Graça & Mouraria centrelast reviewed August 2026

Climb one of Alfama's steepest alleyways to find this one, a coffee shop built for people who care about what's in the cup, not just the view.

Lisbon's Japanese-inspired coffee bar rewards the climb up Alfama's alleys.

The Folks★★ Specialty
R. dos Bacalhoeiros 113

A brunch terrace on Blue Street from The Folks, the Lisbon brand whose coffee program has landed it on the World's 100 Best Coffee Shops list two years running.

The Folks★★ Specialty
R. das Pedras Negras 7

The hand-brew filter here gets singled out as beautifully balanced, and the espresso runs on flavour-forward single origins, a coffee programme with more craft behind it than the brunch queue outside would suggest.

The Folks★★ Specialty
R. São Tomé 27

One of six Lisbon outposts of The Folks, ranked among the World's 100 Best Coffee Shops for a second year running, pouring single origins from Colombia, Ethiopia, Costa Rica and Brazil with tasting notes on every cup.
