    Amazing place for breakfast. My boyfriend and I went there three times in a row for breakfast. The pancakes were just heaven! Very gooey and fluffy, absolutely delightful. My boyfriend said his egg royals was also very tasty. What’s more? The place was so bohemian, plants and white walls, just exactly how I like to decorate my place. It’s definitely a must try in Lisbon!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful, which is great for a start of the day!

    We were greeted very politely by the stuff and had to wait five minutes to get to the ground floor area. The food was good. It's not something extraordinary, as i expected by the reviews. The seating area is a little null. I would be happy to come back for another brunch

    Another great spot for brunch or breakfast in Lisbon, that’s worth a detour. Cozy space and fast friendly service. There always seems to be a queue outside, but it’s worth the wait! Usual brunch items on the menu, and having tried a few of them can say none were disappointing. The pancakes with egg, bacon & maple syrup were fantastic - would come back for that alone.

    Great brunch place, we went 3 days in a row. Very friendly service and great dishes. Loved especially the guacamole and the fruit salad. But all other dishes were delicious too, including a fresh pressed orange juice and the eggs Benedict with salmon. Loved it and absolutely recommendable.

    Very popular breakfast/brunch restaurant in Lisbon. There will be line to enter the place, my experience was from 15 to 30 minutes. Once inside the service was fast. Good food, average service and moderate prices. Restaurant is on a ground floor and have 2 floors (small stairs). Tables are very close to each other and the place is very noisy. Credit cards accepted.

    Lovely spot for breakfast. Great quality coffee and the egg sandwich was really tasty, with creamy eggs and melting cheese. You also get to see the classic trams pass by if you manage to get a seat by the window. It gets pretty busy so expect a queue. Very good prices.

    Fast service, nice staff, cute decor. The presentation of the food is BEAUTIFUL. My salad did not come dressed, which was the only negative pertaining to the food - the only flavor came from the pickled carrots and cucumber. The restaurant gets very hot inside (to be fair, it’s August), but a little AC or a fan would have been nice. Overall recommend for a cute breakfast spot!

    Great fresh food and location at a reasonable price. Even if there’s a queue outside, it’s worth the 5 minute wait. Dishes are very generous, you wont leave hungry. Only downside we had was kitchen personnel not washing their hands when leaving the toilet, sours the taste of otherwise great food.

    I had the turkish eggs and it was good. the accompanying bread thingy was really good and chewy. I had the pink latte and it tastes a bit weird though, too thick

    Such a lovely place! It is in Chiado- Lisbon and it is located on a street where you can see the classical yellow trams coming down the hill. The second floor has tables in front of the windows (like mini balconies)- giving the restaurant such a nice atmosphere. The food was so good - and the menu has options for different styles (eggs, croissants, pancakes, açai bowls, fruits, smoothies, and different coffees). Additionally the service was very fast and the waitress was so nice. Recommendation to reserve a table upfront (reservations available only for the weekends). And as a plus - prices are very affordable. :)

    Really great spot for brunch in Lisbon. Without reservation you have to bring some time. But it's definitely worth the food. Nicely done with a lot of options, especially for Vegetarians. Only thing: the smell of the frying fat downstairs went so deep..better eat upstairs 🤭

    Honestly I did not have a bad experience at this place, however I find is very overhyped. After traveling through Portugal for 10 days I went on my last day to this place and I was very disappointed. We got a seat right away when we came for opening, staff were okay, just doing their job nothing over the top. They want to get you out as fast, so service was super quick, they took our order around 5min after seating down. I found the prices are very high compared to what I have been paying all around Portugal for brunch. Food was good, but not omg I want to go back to this place. Is a very american brunch place, I never felt relaxed at all. Everything felt rushed and just not nice or calm atmosphere. The tip of the iceberg was when I was about to pay and was asked if “I’ll like to tip”, like I said very american type place. Service was barely present yet I was asked this question. You can feel that the only people this place is catered is only for tourists.

    Went for breakfast early in the morning. I ordered an avocado toast , one of the best avocado toasts I had. The portion was unexpectedly HUGE , enjoyed every bite of it. The banana and caramel pancake was mouthwatering. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Lisbon.

    Cute breakfast place! Food was good, could probably find better if you spent longer looking. Açai bowl was nice but texture of ice. Coffee was great though. Staff were lovely and atmosphere was also calm. Nice place to try if you’re staying near by!

    Delicious brunch in a lovely setting. We booked a reservation in advance so would definitely advise as it gets very busy!! As we were first in, we got one of the window seats 😊 Great service and pleasant staff.

    Loved this place. There were only 2 parties ahead of us and the wait passed quickly. The design of the place is picturesque both downstairs and upstairs. I ordered the full breakfast- it was delicious and filling. Loved the vibe and the staff was very friendly! Highly recommend the avocado green smoothie.

    We got seated incredibly quickly on a busy Monday, served quickly and our food arrived and was amazing! We got the brunch so managed to squeeze it onto our table and then our empties were cleared almost immediately. Really loved it here, the food was such high quality and good value for money! 10/10

    Dear Breakfast, you were incredible. What a beautiful brunch spot. Bit of a queue, we opted not to reserve a table and queued for 10-15 minutes but you can watch the 28 team go past and it's quite great! When we got in the brunch menu was amazing. Superb coffee and superb eggs and avocado on toast. Go here for sure!

    Totally average food. Photographs very nicely but not special at all. We waited in line for 20 minutes - for completely unnecessary food. Bad coffee and avocado toast without salt and seasoning..

  • 5/5 Ally Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice brunch restaurant. We went really early (aka 5 minutes before opening time), there was already a small line, but we were still very lucky to be seated by the balcony upstairs. This meant we had a nice view of the no. 28 tram passing throughout our brunch experience. The pink latte was fun, but not the most amazing coffee. The savoury pancakes were great!

    Had a "full breakfast" set and everything was executed perfectly. The service is excellent as well! Very good value for money. Edit: looking at other reviews, I suggest going during the off-peak like I did.

    Book a table in advance! We waited almost an hour for a table for breakfast. Great food, good service. A well balanced menu with vegetarian options. Coffee was pretty disappointing, though their fresh juices were delicious. Really scrumptious pancakes and avo toast! Would come here again and bring friends.

    What a great Breakfast place. Loved the Yogurt Parfait. My husband had the Omelette and it was very good. We had iced lattes, small but okay. I also ordered a croissant and it was cold, would have been nice if they had warmed it up so the butter would melt. But yes we will return on our next trip to Lisbon. There was about a 20 minute wait to get in at 11:30am on a Tuesday

    Simple but good! Not too expensive, quick service and good quality. My croissant was fresh and crunchy, my orange juice sour as I like it and my eggs scrambled and salty!

    Great food and coffee! Definitely worth the wait (20-30mins) since it is a popular place and Covid-19 protocol (limited seating). I checked online and it appears you can make reservations. The staff is attentive while they are busy, which was key to the experience. We ordered the Full Breakfast and Pancakes - Salty. Delicious! I enjoyed the decor, cleanness and polite and friendly staff. Thanks

    Sadly agree with others it's style over substance here, the food looks appetising but lacks real depth of flavour. The coffee on the other hand was great. Pastries were not fresh and soggy. Service was warm and welcoming was told a 30min wait but was actually 5! Inside decor is nice and simple. However how anyone can say it's relaxing must be on drugs. The music is so loud and it means you have to shout at your partner to hear each other. Overall disappointing given there was a line outside.

    Loved the interior design, atmosphere and staff. The food and coffee were delicious as well for a complete experience.

  • 4/5 Hannes A. 3 months ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    I had super tasty pancakes that were prepared like a work of art. However, the guacamole on my friend's avocado toast was a bit brownish and I have my doubts about the freshness of the orange juice. The ambience was super nice, we were lucky and managed to get a seat by the window where we had a great view of the traditional streetcar. I would recommend booking in advance! However, the waiter was so unmotivated and unfriendly, which put me in a bad mood.

  • 5/5 Dilara 1 month ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    We have ordered an avocado toast and a bowl. It was very tasty and the portions were big. The yellow tram goes through the street and you can see it if you have a chance to sit next to the balcony. The stuff were lovely! Prices are okay but could have been cheaper. Also, yogurt could have been used in the bowl.

  • 5/5 Louis I. 8 months ago on Google
    Walked in on a Saturday for brunch. Got a table for 4 after 10'. The food is great, service is friendly and the kitchen is fast. Excellent experience.

  • 5/5 Laura B. 7 months ago on Google
    A perfect spot for a typical Lisbon breakfast and one of the best we had during our trip in March 2023. We had one of the Dear Breakfast set breakfasts with an orange juice, croissant and yogurt with fruit and granola, it was all really tasty with great service and a lovely location and feel to the inside of the cafe.

  • 5/5 Tiadna 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing breakfast! One of the best omelets I ever had and my wife had a great avocado toast unlike any. The restaurant has only been around for 2 years. Kudos to the chef and the owner. The service was quick and excellent.

  • 5/5 Lisa C. 1 year ago on Google
    Although the restaurant is relatively small, the waiter is quite efficient on re-organizing the table in order to serve the quests in the waiting line. The waiting time is not as long as the waiting lines you might see. Food is very good and fresh. Recommend the egg Benedict and egg sandwich. Definitely worth to visit if you come to Lissabon.

  • 5/5 Hugh K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place seemed really busy when I was walking by last weekend so I went to check it out and was so glad that I did. It has a nice feel to it. Friendly staff, and above all excellent food. Well recommended after a long night and need to feel revitalised. Orange juice is so good with no bits. Sausages were top. Also eggs bene too.

  • 5/5 jayg257 5 months ago on Google
    Myself and my partner had two lovely breakfasts here. We had eggs benedict which were amazing. My partner is celiac and they provided gf bread (she had no reaction both times). Staff are lovely. I’d recommend booking at the weekend as it is a popular place.

  • 4/5 Marilyn 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect place for brunch. Good sized portions, great variety of choices (meaty, vegetarian, vegan). They also have non diary milks 👌🏼 The only reason of what I put 4 stars and not 5 is because they are very slow!

  • 5/5 SB 2 years ago on Google
    I had the best breakfast of my visit to Lisbon here. I got the egg with toast and potatoes and it was absolutely amazing. Can't recommend it enough. We got in before the queue which was great. Cool cave like building as well. I'd definitely recommend going for breakfast.

  • 5/5 Lisa T. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience!! The food was 10/10 - both the Benedict and the avocado toast. Great prices, big portions - amazing quality ingredients and presentation is wonderful! Alberto is the most friendly server. We ended up returning here at the end of our stay as well! ❤️ from Canada!

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing and prompt service. Ethan my so said that the food is really nice and is served really quickly. On my part the eggs Benedict were to die for. Really cool atmosphere and it seem very popular place, proven by the cue out side

  • 5/5 Marissa L. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the BEST breakfast in Lisbon! They were super COVID safe (they checked your vaccine card/negative test results at the door). The food was amazing, we got the sausage meal and the savory pancakes and both were amazing!!! Would really recommend the sausage meal.

  • 5/5 Sabin L. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a cute spot, felt like I was having breakfast in a cave. The white washed walls and lighting makes it feels very calming. The food, coffee is of international quality too. I definitely suggest the salty pancakes with a flat white.
