Great Portuguese spot for an espresso. Close to the hotel we were staying. I was happy to see the pastel the nata, it's ok not authentic as it would in Portugal. If you are going to serve something, I feel you need to out in the effort to make it authentic, serve it warm w powdered sugar. It was soggy, not good. N like $4! You order at the register n they'll bring you thd good.

Had their natas. The best I've had & I'm not even a dessert type person. 2 star for atmosphere. Place is nice but can smell constant cigarette smell in non-smoke area.

Café allongé excellent La serveuse me dit Aye au lieu de me dire un beau BONJOUR chaleureux. Muffin aux carottes pâteux, pain perdu pâteux. Faite cuire plus longtemps ou changer de recette. Excellente musique, d'ailleurs c'est ça qui nous a fait rester là, car nous y allions pour manger des pastas de nata, mais il n'y en avait pas.

Nice patio in summer time. Smoked salmon is nice but grand cappuccino is just okay(see others pics for reference. It's like a soup, more foamy than creamy). It's a bit expensive for what's included, but it's downtown, so.. maybe ?

Super café en plein centre ville. Les sandwichs sont délicieux, avec une belle sélection de produits d'épicerie fine. Le proprio est super sympa tout comme le staff.

Les cafés sont excellents, les croissants aussi. L'une des meilleures places au centre ville pour le petit déjeuner.
