    Was passing by and decided to try here for lunch. Was a bit confused as no menus and no prices anywhere. You pick what toastie length you want from a meter ruler and what items you would like inside via the glass cabinet. We picked 2 30inch toasties which were huge for around 7-8euro each depending on ingredients. We also had 2 orange juices which were freshly squeezed. The food was delicious and we ended up taking it back to the hotel as we couldn’t finish. I would say they need to take more consideration for vegetarians as I think they use the same press machine, both sandwiches shared a board on the table and then boxed up vegetarian and meat together without asking.

    Fantastic little coffee shop with toast sandwiches run by a very friendly staff. We got two large toasts which were both delicious. If you are looking for something a little different this place is amazing! The orange juice was also fresh and the coffees were great. You know it’s going to be good when the food is measured in CMs.

    Im Penta kann man sich einen leckeren Sandwich zusammen stellen (Max. Länge bis zu 1 Meter). Zunächst wird der Maßstab ausgepackt, um die Länge des Sandwiches zu wählen. Dann können einige Topics ausgewählt werden. Man muss einige Minuten auf sein Sandwich warten, was aber gerechtfertigt ist, da diese absolut frisch zubereitet werden.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent for eating a toast by the meter and listening to the spoken menu letter it is a must for anyone who wants to have a different experience. The staff are very friendly and attentive. There is only one catch, it is a small cafe and it is always full and sometimes you have to wait a bit for a table, but it is also a sign of a very busy establishment. (Original) Excelente para comer uma tosta a metro e ouvir a carta falada da ementa é imperdivel para quem quiser ter uma experiência diferente. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos e atenciosos. Só tem um senão é que é um café pequenino e está sempre cheio e por vezes é preciso esperar um pouco por uma mesa mas, também é sinal de ser um estabelecimento muito concorrido.

    We found this place because we were looking for a nice Panini sandwich and we were so happy to have had a wonderful experience! The meal was outstanding, and we really enjoyed the family that owned this café! For our family of five we ordered 3 different sandwiches (toasts) - 35 cm, 15 cm, and 15 cm; 4 bottles of beer, 3 bottles of water, and 3 pieces of cake which we took home. Total price was less than €51.00. Excellent meal & wonderful hospitality!

    Live this place. They mastered the art of making feel good comfort food. The process of making your own sandwich, which includes telling them exactly how large it should be, is very fun as well. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, we struggled together through our language barrier and spread a great mood. The sandwich was absolutely amazing. You can get fresh juice as well. Will be back.

    Everything was delicious , incredible here and fresh ! We ordered an in sales large 40CM sandwich to take for a walk and was the best I’ve ever had ( special made by staff recommendation) the friendliest happy staff here and amazing service! Would recommend everyone to visit & will try to return again tomorrow !

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 6 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    Amazing food, great services and really friendly atmosphere. The portion sizes for the sandwiches are completely customisable giving you flexibility for sandwich choices. Didn’t have chance to try the cakes but they looked freshly baked with great portion sizes

    Great place for lunch and some rest in the city center. They offer sandwiches and cakes up to 1 meter, you need to choose the length. Personally we took 10 cm sandwich for 2 people. It was enough for lunch, but they recommend 10 cm for each. See the picture to understand the size. We didn’t find the menu (I guess they don’t have it), so here are the prices for you: 10 cm tosta Action (sandwich) 4,50€ Capuchino 3,25€ Coffee with milk 3,85€ No card, only cash

    A nice little cafe with lots of desserts and also sandwiches. The staff is really friendly and tries their best to speak English. Good and cheap prices for being in the middle of Lisbon. The cakes are incredibly delicious! I am very glad that we visited this cafe!

    They didn't have an English menu, but the staff advised us to just pick some stuff from the counter. You order a toasted sandwich and choose the amount of centimeters you want. Picture is 2 15cm toasts with a lot of meat and was really tasty! Not cheap, but nomnomnom!

    Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und bedient. Der Orangensaft war frisch gepresst und hat super geschmeckt. Das Sandwich wurde frisch zubereitet und man konnte direkt sagen, was man drauf haben wollte. Preislich war das Frühstück auch top. Für zwei Cappuccino, zwei Orangensäfte und das große Sandwich haben wir ca. 25€ bezahlt.

  • 5/5 Rose R. 5 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    We love this cake soooo much...what is sooooo tasty. Coconut lemon...the best of the best❤️ But they take only cash!!! I wish I could buy more but mostly we don't use cash much in living now.

  • 5/5 Natalia 1 year ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Super awesome service!!!! They made us feel so special and happy to have us and serve us! It all felt very nice a personal. This place is like a build your own sandwich type of deal, but also has a wide variety of pastries and I think even some breads. We got two sandwiches and they were so delicious! Highly recommend!! Thank you so much for making our first day great!

    What a Great place. Cafe Americana was excellent, as was the Crème Croissant. More importantly, the husband and wife team were wonderful. Loved it!

  • 5/5 Chelly J. 7 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    An absolute diamond of a find! This place can make you a metre long Tosta mista!! That's right!! It's a "Tosta Metre". The sandwich was really delicious, you can pick whatever flavour you want and they also server fresh juice. Along side this, you can also grab yourself a big slice of delicious cake. The people that work there speak a few languages like Spanish and English so it's easy to make an order and they are all really lovely! I would defo go again!! (In the picture it's the 50cm Tosta mista, it was sooooo big between 2 and that's only half of what you can get!)

  • 5/5 Jesse T. 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    We really enjoyed our sandwiches here. There is no menu, just point to ingredients and tell them in cm how big of a sandwich you want. Everyone was extremely welcoming and kind. We loved it and would recommend.

  • 5/5 Clive R. 9 months ago on Google
    On a busy street, but a gem. You order your toasted sandwich 🥪 by length !! Four of us had a 60 cms sandwich between us. Delicious too. Full of locals.

  • 5/5 Huyen T. 10 months ago on Google
    Humongous cakes of large varieties and the cakes have strong aromas. We ordered passion fruit cake, lemon cake and a coconut pie. Watermelon juice was huge. Everything was big and tasty and owners are very friendly. You need to pay by cash though

  • 5/5 Nina L. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    We went here for lunch. It’s a cute little cafe with a super welcoming staff. They don’t have a physical menu, instead you choose your own sandwich toppings and length of the sandwich (10cm up to 1m). We went with a 50cm sandwich for about 28€. We’d give the toasted sandwich with the fresh ingredients a 10/10. It’s however important to note, that you have to pay with cash (an atm is around the corner).

  • 5/5 Lena 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service, very friendly and great baristas. Good prices, great place to come for breakfast or if you fancy a 🍰 cake. Just need to have in mind they will give you big portion 👍🏻😁 love the coffee ☕

    Different kinds of pastries, however not so authentic.

  • 1/5 Thomas L. 4 years ago on Google
    Ridiculously overpriced cafe, trying to exploit tourists. We actually conducted an experiment by having a local ask for a sandwich (they don’t let you know the prices for sandwiches in advance) and it was 3€ less. Scandalous! Would never go there again

    (Translated by Google) I would like to compliment the toasts but in the 15 minutes I had there the only thing I did was stand in line and then know there were no more toasts because they had sold out at 3:00 pm (Original) Gostaria de fazer um elogio as tostas mas nos 15 minutos que tive lá a única coisa que fiz foi ficar na fila para depois saber que não havia mais tostas porque tinham esgotado as 3:00 da tarde.

    (Translated by Google) This is the late morning visit of September 19. You can choose the bread length and the ingredients inside. I thought I had Subway bread and it was so big. If you prefer a stimulating taste, you might be bored. I enjoyed it. I ate with my friend and left half and packed. If you have a microwave in your accommodation, you can eat it again. (Original) 19년 9월의 아침 방문 후기입니다. 빵 길이와 속 재료를 직접 선택할 수 있습니다. 저는 서브웨이 빵을 생각하고 시켰는데 사이즈가 엄청 크더라구요 ㅎㅎ (사진엔 잘 안보이지만 초코 브라우니도 주문했고, 엄청 크답니다.) 초코 브라우니는 정말 찐 초코맛이라 커피랑 딱이에요.🤗 샌드위치는 간이 쎄지는 않아서, 자극적인 맛을 선호하시는 분들께는 조금 심심할 수도 있을 것 같아요. 저는 맛있게 먹었어요. 친구랑 둘이 먹다가 반은 남겨서 포장해갔어요. 숙소에 전자렌지가 있다면 다시 뎁혀먹어도 굿🤭

    Fantastic. Delicious. Their sandwiches (tostas) are the best in town. Each one is different, extremely tasty and with its own "personality". Prices are more than reasonable and the staff couldn't be friendlier! An absolute treasure of a find. I want one of this in Barcelona! 😍

    Amazing toasts and concept. The gist of it is you can order them not by quantity but length. So you can order a meter long toast with several different ingredients. The Staff is very very friendly although sometimes it can take a while to get seated and order as it's very busy at lunch. But it's well worth it.
