The best coffee in Lisbon

Located right in the center, next to the Bica elevator and near the Time Out Market, Baoba really does make its own beans. The roasting machine is located in the back of the small cafe and you can join a special coffee tasting, which is a really unique experience. The space itself isn't particularly large, but it's cozy, and they often have people working there on their laptops. They also don't charge extra for oat milk, bring you free water, and offer a really delicious lactose-free dark chocolate cake. The cappuccino there costs 3,- if you drink it on the spot, and 30 cents more if you want to take it with you.

Magnolia is the right place for everything: coffee, pastries, wine, food.... Located in the most beautiful square in Lisbon (Praca das Flores), you can either sit at one of the tables inside or outside or take your coffee to the square as the locals do. I can't say more than: Go there!

Magnolia is probably the most romantic place for a date in Lisbon. Located in the same place as Black Sheep (Price das Flores), Magnolia is the chic alternative. They also serve food (which is really good) and have cute little tables outside and inside where you can admire the painted ceiling. Of course, they are more expensive than Black Sheep, but if you want to sit in the most beautiful place in Lisbon, this is the place to go.
They are open all day, so if you want a coffee in the morning or lunch, you will be happy here.

The perfect place if you feel like lingering in a nice cafe and don't want to be disturbed. Comoba is also pretty centrally located, it's a huge space with high ceilings and a modern interior. If you need to work, you can be sure that you will always find a seat and they will leave you alone. The food is fantastic, and although it's not cheap (you have to pay extra for oat milk), you can enjoy the atmosphere, listen to the good music and watch the yellow cable car go by. The carrot cake is spectacular and if you feel like shopping, visit +351 (a Portuguese brand) across the street.

Hello Kristof is one of the premiere coffee spots and stands out for its curious street corner space, where you can sit at a big wooden table and people-watch while reading one of the cool art magazines on display. That's a big plus, because the magazines are usually pretty expensive and hard to get (the Lisbon Insider, for example), and here you can read them for free while sipping your really good cappuccino. The chocolate peanut brownie is also worth a mention.

As the name suggests, this café is French-inspired and therefore offers super delicious French pastries. You're not allowed on the laptop, and it may be more expensive than others, but everything is high quality and supports local Portuguese suppliers, starting with the fact that you drink out of Cecile M ceramic cups. If you like them so much that after your delicious coffee you feel the urge to own them yourself, don't worry, the Cecile M store is located right next to the café. In any case, this place is the perfect place to take a break from your stroll through Principe Real and its cute concept stores.

On Green Street, near Café Sao, you can sit outside in the sun, watch the hustle and bustle of the street and commiserate with the tourists crowding the passing yellow cable car 28E.  You can read some of the magazines on display and what you should know is that there is a laundromat right across from the café. So if you need to do laundry, this is the perfect place to wait.

Dear Breakfast has several locations throughout the city, all of which are beautiful and little different in decor - it's classic, modern and vibrant. You can reserve a table here and have breakfast all day, which is really good. The homemade bread with jam is a super offering, but I've never tasted anything that wasn't good. If you are a large group, this is the best place to reserve a table.

Worth knowing: if you've given in to the hype about the Heim cafe but the wait is too long, there's a new Dear Breakfast just around the corner....

There are also other locations: 

‍Santos

Chiado

Alfama

Cais do Sodre

Also a chain with several locations in the city, they also make their own coffee and it's really very good. The location in Avenida is really cozy and invites you to stay longer, bring your book or laptop and indulge in the "granny hipster Berlin" atmosphere. The food is also really good, they bake their bread themselves- be sure to try the scrambled eggs!

If it's too crowded, you can go to Fabrica for a coffee instead.

There are also other locations: 

Chiado

Picoas

Braamkamp

The Coffee is only one counter and is dedicated to good coffee and Japanese pastries. You have to order via an iPad and it feels really metropolitan, not like sweet little Lisbon.
