This café strikes that rare balance between a good work spot and a cozy hangout. The coffee is consistently excellent, the kind that makes you pause after the first sip. Pastel de Nata fans will be in heaven here, each bite flaky and buttery with just the right custard wobble. The layout makes it easy to plug in a laptop, yet it never feels like a library. Staff are warm and seem genuinely happy to see you. Music is soft and perfectly chosen, adding to the relaxed buzz of conversation. The manager often pops over to check everyone is happy, which feels personal and kind. There’s always space to settle in without feeling crowded. Whether you’re working or unwinding, it’s hard not to stay longer than planned. A café that understands what comfort tastes like.
