    Food, service, and atmosphere were outstanding. The food was very amazing and a good value - we loved the corncake french toast and the BAP breakfast sandwich. The server was very nice and attentive. Went out of her way to make us feel welcome. If you're near this area of Lisbon, definitely stop in for a bite.

    A Santos institution. A family business with heart. The friendly baristas, waitstaff and kitchen team are amazing. They know me by name. I opt for their coffee. I love their take away window too. You want vegan, bacon and eggs, salad bowl, smoothie or just a meeting place with good energy. This is it.

    Great place for awesome coffee & tasty (generally healthy) food. I worked here one morning and really enjoyed a cappuccino, espresso (it was a late night) and their vegan cake. There is a shared table for laptops which is fair and spacious enough for a few people.

    Great environment. Friendly staff & good service. Nice selection of pastries cakes salads etc. Only improvement: coffee slightly overextracted and beans could be better. Try Flor da Selva nearby! Nice to be in a positive environment in 2020.

    Espresso tônica is ok. All the options in menu has Something with avocado, and I don't like it at all. Lucky me you can ask for no avocado. 😬 It's good, but the WOW factor is missing.

    Wonderful Cafe Street side with a gorgeous view of the cathedral, loved hearing the bells toll at High noon. Porkie roll was great!!! Also had Egg & Bacon BAP delicious! Don't forget a coffee or cappuccino before you head out to explore the area.

    I just tried an ice tea which was super tasty and refreshing but the place is fascinating by design and atmosphere.

    We stopped here for a coffee and dessert and sat outside on the patio. Lots of seating inside and a wide variety of items on the menu. The coffee was excellent.

    I've been twice as I'm presently staying in the area, but I'm unlikely to return unless I hear they've trained their staff. When you're paying 10 Euros for boiled eggs on 2 small bits of dry toast with a handful of lettuce leaves, you expect at least that the waitress has some customer service finesse if not basic manners nor the skills to write your order down if she has a bad memory. The owner had the decency to apologise and compensate (somewhat) but it's not the error that was the problem, but the way the rude and incompetent waitress handled it, even starting out by greeting us with a bizarrely accusatory and rather shocking "I was busy!" rather than a friendly smile and an apology for making us wait without so much as a nod of acknowledgment. There isn't much ruffles the feathers of my much-more-patient-than-I'll-ever-be friend but this morning I saw her actually leave the restaurant to stand on the street for a moment to calm down as she was so angered by the service. In spite of the hipster environment that allows dogs, and the fact that the owner seems nice and last time I went the coffee was good (even though they brought me a latte instead of the Americano with some milk that I'd asked for), I balk at paying quite so much for average food when the waitress treats you like an inconvenience.

    Soups, sandwiches, specialty cheeses and grocery items. One of the few places I’ve found kambucha also. It’s a spot you can stay and eat and work if you’d like. While living here I come here almost everyday for a juice, coffee or snack. Gluten free and vegetarian options too! Highly recommended.

    Very cute little place, good for coffee and loads of space inside. Did not feel distinctly Portuguese, more like any of those modern cafes you could find in the streets of any big city.

  • 2/5 C T. 1 month ago on Google • 285 reviews New
    Compared to Heim next door, the food isn’t worth the price. The bacon and egg bap is quite literally a brioche bun with some bacon and a fried egg (I added chicken for another €3). Nothing else on the side or garnishes. You don’t need professional chefs for that.

  • 4/5 Paige B. 8 months ago on Google • 163 reviews
    We ended up stumbling upon Mila when there was too large of a line nearby at Heim. While the food took a little while to get to us, it was great and I fully recommend the corn pancakes. The bacon was very chewy and I think it had maybe been sitting for a while but still good! The service here is top class, our server was phenomenal and took time to recommend certain items and chatted with all her customers. Definitely recommend.

    came for a Saturday brunch here with friends. we sat outside to enjoy the weather but the inside interior is cute and cozy! the sandwich was tasty and nice presented! would definitely come back to try different stuff

  • 4/5 Jade C. 3 months ago on Google • 71 reviews New
    A great coffee shop and brunch. The coffee there is truly exceptional. Regarding the food, it’s good but quantities are very small. The prices feel a bit too expensive for what you’re getting. The staff is nice, helpful and welcoming. Try to go early as the space is small and fills up quickly

  • 5/5 Joana H. 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    I really enjoyed my time at Mila's! The food was delicious, it was quick to arrive and the staff was super lovely and attentive. What I would really like to highlight - the most important aspect in my experience - was how well I was treated, despite being by myself on a Sunday. I've gone to many brunch places (especially on a Sunday) where I did not feel welcome at all for eating alone, but here they made room for me right away and were very friendly :) I highly recommend!

    Beautiful grocery store meets cafe meets gelato shop. With lovely decor and a relaxed ambiance, Its a great spot to do some work or catch up with friends. They sell mugs, meats, cheese, produce and freshly baked good. For those kiddos: they offer kid friendly option and baby food as well!

  • 4/5 Philippe L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little find walking around the area... Perfect little spot for frunch (brunch with friends) or by yourself... Fab eggs on avocado sourdough toast and other brunchy sandwiches... Good food, good prices, good service and gay friendly... What more could you possibly want...

  • 4/5 Michael Di P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice friendly staff. We each got an affogato and croissant. Both were very nice, but unfortunately the affogato was served completely melted.

  • 5/5 Cansu A. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this lovely breakfast/brunch place before getting on the train to Caiscais. Very friendly staff. You can come here with your laptop and work on the wifi table/area. The place is very suitable to recharge yourself, it has a very relaxing vibe. The food made me feel healthy after eating. Took the zucchini bacon pancakes, it was amazing! Not at all heavy. Filling but not disturbing!

  • 4/5 Anna K. 1 year ago on Google
    Just had a coffee there (3€ for cappuccino). To my taste was a bit too watery, many other places do it better. Stylish interior, like any hip instagramable place in any capital of the world. The stuff are nice and smiley.

    Absolutely amazing brunch. My husband had the Big breakfast and I had the cornbread. The food was perfectly cooked, the orange juice was delicious and the service was really good. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Alexis H. 9 months ago on Google
    Great brunch spot! I thought the food, ambiance, and service was all great but docking a star as the poached eggs were nearly fully cooked. Regardless, I would come back to have additional takes on the rest of the menu!

  • 5/5 Zeynep Tinaz R. 4 years ago on Google
    In Santos neighborhood, this is a very “simpatico” grocery/cafe/shop where you can buy your gourmet food and supplies or sit and have a coffee with a fresh and crunchy layered croissant or eat a piece of a tasty cake or a simple lunch based on a choice of varieties of different salads, be it salad with lentils or tuna fish. You can also take home their salads or other simple dishes like couscous as they prepare daily and offer them starting at late morning hours. They run mostly out of all these dishes by 2 pm so best to get there before 1 p.m. It is offers a lot of gourmet products. You can for example find your pesto sauce or fungi porcini here. Their bread comes from the city’s most famous Glebe bread shop, which is located a few kilometers further down the street closer to Alcantra. The wooden stools by the window allows you to enjoy your coffee and watch the neighborhood go by unless you choose to hook up to your gadgets. The owner and the staff speaks English and they are all very friendly.

    Really great food! Nice service. Maybe inside is a bit hot, and smells food and outside a bit loud sometimes But lemon-bluberry cake deserves everything

    I walked past here today, and couldn't resist to go inside as the space is so homely. The service was warm and efficient. Then when I saw the freshly baked goods and other homemade produce, I had to taste. It was worth every bite.

  • 5/5 Jay C. 3 years ago on Google

    Mercearia da Mila did the catering for my son’s birthday brunch on the beach - and it was excellent. Not only was all the food delicious, but they helped provide compostable / recyclable tableware which made the whole thing so easy. Thanks to the whole team for making it such a stress-free, yummy day :)

    (Translated by Google) I lived in Lisbon for half a year and ate various sandwiches, but the sandwiches here are great. Delicious cheese, crispy bacon and special sweet sauce are very delicious. The clerk was very friendly and gave me recommendations and polite customer service. The atmosphere inside the store is also wonderful. More reasonable than anything else! It costs less than 10 € for three quiches, sandwiches and drinks. The menu changes depending on the day, so it's fun to go there. (Original) 半年間リスボンに住んで、色んなサンドイッチを食べましたが、ここのサンドイッチは最高です。美味しいチーズとカリカリのベーコン、特別な甘味のあるソースがとても美味しいです。 店員さんもとても気さくで、おすすめを教えてくれたり、丁寧な接客をしてくれました。 店内の雰囲気も素晴らしいです。何よりリーズナブル!キッシュ、サンドイッチ、ドリンク3人分頼んで10€以下です。 その日によってメニューが変わるので、通っていてとても楽しいです。

  • 3/5 Ian M. 4 years ago on Google
    I loved the idea of the place....simple and useful in the community. Some great produce on offer, and really nice bread. Coffee however was a bit cold, and the cafe part felt more like a location for coffee rather than a destination. It has all the ingredients to be a terrific place. I hope it comes good.

  • 5/5 Hanna Z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pleasant service, a large selection of different products, from fruit to beer. We ordered juice 3,5 € and focacca 4,96 €. There are two tables outside.
