The Coffee★★ Specialty

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.

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.

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.
