    This café is a truly magical place! It boasts fantastic views of beautiful Lisbon and it has a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, also because laptops aren’t allowed. Due to the old theater inventory that is displayed the café has a very unique charm. The drinks were fantastic, and our waiter Jef was super nice without being intrusive. Will definitely visit again!

    Amazing place. Amazing view. Extremely calming, food and drinks are excellent. Music is just a vibe. This place nurtures what nature, music alongside insanely nice interior could make you feel. Definitely what have made my stay in Lisboa 10 times better. Thank you guys. Will come back for sure. Also couldn't hold back but ask for the playlist.

    Came to work on my laptop. Fantastic view. Great chilled atmosphere. Amazing chocolate cake. NO FOOD MENU till October 21. And NO WIFI. If it had food or WiFi would give 5 stars.

    This is a hidden gem! Entrance to the place is just a plain door so it can be confusing cause the cafe is at the ground floor. So look out for a guy by the door or a red flag of the cafe and head downstairs. Once you’re there, you’re instantly captivated by the view. Can sit indoors with outlets or outside with none of those, but unobstructed views of the entire hill in front of you. Absolutely loved discovering this place. Prices are reasonable too. Found my favourite spot in Lisbon to work from ❤️ Gets busy in the late afternoon / evening, so plan to get in before to get a good table. Highly recommend visiting this!

    Very nice setting for a drink, enjoy the view. Service wasn’t great to be honest. Waited 10/15 minutes for our drinks. Next till I’ll order two at once!

    Beautiful cafe with astounding views - seating indoors and outdoors. We went on a Saturday around 5pm and the crowd ranged to nearly having no seats to majority being empty. This means it can range from a calm, relaxing place to read or a place of mini photoshoots. Can't blame them, it is beautiful.

    Amazing view over Lisbon. The food is ok, I would opt for drinks only and eat somewhere else as it was all pretty bland (can’t recommend the hummus either). You pay for the amazing view, so take a seat and grab a drink.

    It’s a lovely place, a hidden gem in Lisboa. It can be a bit tricky to find the coffe shop because it is in the down floor . Its an inspirational place for me. You can relax enjoying a coffe with a beautiful view, it’s en excellent place to see also the sunset. There’s a piano in the coffe shop. You can work or study but there’s no Wi-Fi and there’s a nice reason behind it. The staff is friendly and kind, also the food and beverages are really good. I really love this cafeteria, I definitely recommend it.

    As usual in Lisbon my favorite places are accidentally found, and this one is no different. We came for the views and coffee and stayed for the food. And when we weren't done taking in what I think is the best view from the otherside we stayed for more. From the relaxed and quaint little seating at the giant windows to the amazing outdoor area and small garden below. The view from here just blows you away. And did I mention the food?! The food was excellent and the service was great. This just became one of my top places in Lisbon.

    The draft from the terrace door was a little disturbing (it was cold and windy). But the service is very nice and efficient, the menu complete enough, and the prices very reasonable. And the view... very nice!

    A great location with an astonishing view over Lisbon. The only downside is the staff which are only 2 for the whole crowd, so they were super busy, stressed out & not very friendly.

  • 4/5 Francisco Vidal B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite coffee shops in all of Lisbon. Location is magnificent with superbe views. The food and the coffee are pretty good. It is worth visiting only for the view. Very much a place to go visit! The opening hours are a tad meh, which is the only reason I give it a 4 star, but besides that small detail, this place is a MUST!

    Come here on a nice, sunny day. Sit, enjoy the company, enjoy the view and relax. It's just a very lovely ambiance. Spend some time here and take in the view. There's plenty of outdoor metal chairs (though not all covered). But plenty of indoor seating with a view behind glass too.

    It's a disaster place. We have been waiting with 5-7 more people for 40 minutes just to enter because the guard had been saying "cafe is full". When we entered we found that 70% of the place is empty! Most people were working with laptops so waiters were pretty free. Anyway, the service was terrible - we saw unfriendly rude slow staff here. Just to remind you - this is a coffee place but coffee is terrible (I couldn't even finish it). And the taste of chocolate cake was like flour :( The only good thing here is a view but you can find a few free viewpoints with better view nearby. So you will save one hour of waiting and 10$. This place should change the owner, the team and make a great coffee place or restaurant which will care about taste of the food, service and clients.

    It might not be easy to find a seat near the windows with a nice view, because everyone loves the view here. It’s so nice that I don’t know what can possibly go wrong here.

    Beautiful café with fantastic views of Lisbon. Modern minimalist décor, friendly staff and fantastic prices. The warm homemade chocolate cake was gorgeous. Definitely a must do if in the Alfama area!

    As magical a view as they are all saying. The ice latte was also very good, along with the music / sound system. Guacamole dip was under seasoned and needed some acidity, but don't let that stop you coming here. A special cafe and view.

  • 4/5 Stephi 2 months ago on Google • 67 reviews New
    Wow, this café is such a gem! The views are absolutely stunning, whether you choose to sit inside or outside. You could totally enjoy a quiet read here or turn it into your own little photoshoot spot – it's that versatile and beautiful. But seriously, can you blame the crowd? The place is gorgeous! The coffee is alright, you've got to try their daily cakes – they're very yummy. It's one of those spots where the atmosphere and the sweet treats make you want to keep coming back. Good vibes!

    Pretty cool hang out with great views. Good to come for a drink and a bite. They have a piano if there are any players out there! Very casual.

  • 5/5 Nicholas B. 1 month ago on Google • 33 reviews New
    We had a lovely time at this cafe. Walking down the stairs from the theatre we were greeted by a panoramic view of Lisbon, complete with lemon trees, red tile roofs, and clothes drying from balconies. On top of that, our coffee was great, although the toast was somewhat expensive for what was served.

  • 5/5 Francesca C. 6 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    One of the prettiest locals in Lisbon. Terrific view, such nice staff and great options. I had a great time and the view it’s just spectacular. I’ll definitely became a regular here during my Erasmus months :)

    A place with an incredible view and very good service. We ordered some vegetarian burgers that were delicious! Highly recommended.

    Amazing food and service. The coffee was also excellent. Definitely an underrated spot, great to hang out and see the views with your friends.

    Great cafe with chill vibes in a chill area of Lisbon! Prices are reasonable and the view is priceless!

  • 5/5 Julie J. 6 months ago on Google
    Food, pricing, service and views were all spectacular.

  • 1/5 Sky D. 6 months ago on Google
    Just left. The place only allows laptops in one section, that was completely taken over by a group of men. When I expressed the discomfort of being made to sit with men that I didn’t know stuffed in small corner between the three of them, the female waitress didn’t do much and just repeated some stance the owner said. If this is being mandated by an owner this is beyond sexiest, especially if you rules for the space. Giant waste of time.

  • 5/5 Laureen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden gem in a very cool theater of Lisbon. The view is breathtaking, the menu is very original and healthy, the staff super friendly. Also, very well made cocktails Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 L 1 year ago on Google
    I went a few times doing the week to work - amazing views, quiet during weekday mid-aft, nice hot drinks and vibey background music. I liked how it's tucked away and in the theatre down a couple flights of stairs. Really enjoyed it and will be back

    Amazing views, food and ambiance 👌🏻

  • 3/5 Louise G. 1 year ago on Google
    By the time we got inside after lining up the kitchen was closed. Would have been nice to know this before we lined up but oh well. Lovely view. Staff are friendly but they looked exhausted from the work. Beautiful view. So-so coffee. Chocolate cake was great. Saw some cheese platters being made - they looked good. Picture is of steps down from the cafe.

  • 4/5 tigox b. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is absolutely amazing. The view is amazing, and the prices are not so shocking. The only reason i can't give it 5 stars is because the internet will give you a real hard time. Check out the full review as well as other details and pictures @entrepreneurespresso on Instagram.

    It feels like everyone in the service is unhappy. When I ordered two cups of coffee, I couldn't pay with my credit card because it didn't reach 5 euros. But they were not told they could not use the credit card before ordering. What is the age to distinguish. The coffee tastes terrible, and sadly there's no way to appreciate the flavor of the beans themselves except for the over-extracted bitterness. Iced coffee, on the other hand, is so weak that it doesn't taste like coffee. It's too watery! If you're looking to punch in on this already popular Internet landmark, then don't hesitate. People and languages from all over the world make it a lively place. For a moment I thought this was a nightclub! Hope baristas have a chance to welcome them to Taipei and Japan for a taste of specialty coffee.
