The food was plain and didn't have much flavour but the staff was incredible.

The a la carte menu was great for a simple yet delicious breakfast. The Portuguese toast was also delicious. The pour over was good too.

A place to avoid. The ambiance is very average and there are much nicer brunch/lunch places to see and visit in Lisbon. We all ordered food at the same time but it came at completely different times rather than altogether and significantly late. One of our group members never got his food. After the 4th attempt of us asking for our friend’s food whereby the rest of us had finished eating because our dishes had arrived 45 minutes ago they brought him his food - simply cold. No offer to compensate for this extreme delay of our friend’s food and after we raised the issues they agreed to not charge us for the delayed and cold dish but no further discount or to even have our friend’s smoothie for free to make up for the fact that he had his food 45 minutes after us and cold. Overall an unpleasant experience.

We came to this café hoping for a nice breakfast, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The waffle dish with salmon and avocado sounded great on the menu, but in reality, there was so little salmon and avocado that I had to look for them. Definitely not worth the price. The service was poor. The waiters didn’t remember our order — we had to ask for our drinks a second time because they simply forgot. The matcha was low quality, with unmixed clumps inside. Overall, the experience was more frustrating than enjoyable. I won’t be coming back.

The French toast was davine and saucy. I only wish it didn't stick to the plate which made it a bit tricky to cut. The staff are super friendly and easy going.

The service was really nice, great attitude and kind. The burger and frie sauce were delicious! The golden latte is spicy with black pepper. The iced latte is SO cute with the little coffee ice bear on top.

The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was food, with a varied menu which wasn't too big either. Suited us as a group of 7 - something for everyone.

Very chill spot next to “ascensor da Bica”. It’s narrow but very pretty and comfortable. The food is both beautiful and delicious. The service was great.

Nice brunch place just by the yellow tram station. Outside seats offer a great street view. Quite a broad range of brunch options - from waffles to poke bowl. The food was decent. Service was top.
