I love EVERYTHING about this brunch cafe! It's my second time coming back and will keep coming back for more! The food is just as good as it looks in the images, prices are very fair also! They don't offer Gluten free bread but were very happy to use my bread to make me a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended and congrats on such a beautiful, welcoming, vibey spot!

found this place out of pure luck because we wanted some quick breakfast and i just saw it on maps and we went - and what a find! it's super cute inside and the food is good. my boyfriend and i both had the english breakfast and both found it really good. i had a caramel latte and he had a normal one and i def recommend the caramel. one thing that stoof out was the fact that the toilet pper is pink?! loved it, would return

Coincidence? Maybe not. Two days ago, I was at the Soviet store and saw a dessert called "Oreshek" (little nut). I don’t even like them, but being far from home… I kept thinking about them for two days. This morning, we came for breakfast… a really delicious one. Maybe the only place we can have a better breakfast in Algés is at home :) And as a little treat - they gave us that very same Oreshek!

I visited this cafe recently, and I really like it! The coffee here is one of the best I've ever tasted, especially the latte – it's a true delight. Their bagels are incredibly delicious as well. What sets this place apart is not just the fantastic food and drinks but also the friendly and welcoming staff. The atmosphere is just perfect for a relaxing coffee experience. I can't recommend it enough!

I love this place! The staff is super nice and the food delicious. I came here every day for my stay in Lisbon, as it was right around the corner and thoroughly enjoyed it every time. I tried both kinds of waffles (one is with chocolate cream and the other with caramel and ice cream), and the cheesy omelet. It was A+. The café also has this pop art style, which I quite like, managing the balance of funky and cozy! All in all, I can only recommend trying it out, if only for the best Iced Caramel Latte I ever had!

It is an okay spot. The place is cute and the food was fine, but €4 for tea felt a bit too much for what you get. My plate looked a little empty and I was hoping for more. It’s not bad, but I think there are better options nearby for the same price.
