    Latte, OJ and yogurt
    A H.

    Great breakfast place. On Google and Yelp states the store opens at 7am but it actually opens at 8am. I show up at 7am and it was closed. Had the latte, OJ and yogurt. It is great place to try out.

    Panini
    Charmaine A.

    This place is awesome. The panini perfectly hit the spot; the bread was super crispy and flavourful -- you can tell they use real butter! And did this panini make me a rosemary convert? Also grabbed a warm pasteis de natas from here, although it was a bit too sweet. Same with the croissants -- while those do seem to be their speciality, they all looked too sweet for my liking. The gelato looked a bit old / crystallized, but thankfully didn't taste that way. The raspberry was decent but not amazing, while the pistachio was better than it looked. I'll always trust a place that can serve up a good pistachio. Choupana Caffe also seems to be known for its thick hot chocolate, but unfortunately, they didn't have any available when we went. It also led to a bit of a mix-up with the counter staff, but they were gracious about helping me out and allowing me to swap it out for freshly squeezed OJ.

    Nice little cafe with quaint seating service. It's packed in the morning and Un rushed. Waiters English was helpful and pleasant. Meal was tasty and everything fresh. The waiter accomdated changes to suit our taste. The tables are small so strategic plate placement is important if you eat a good bit like I do :-) A must visit caffe - breakfast was great. Pro tip: internet maps don't work well here - making you think you have father to go. Look at the building signs very carefully as we walked by several locations as the map app is not very accurate.

    Bread with tomato

    I never really go out to eat breakfast but this cafe is something I am going to remember for a long time! This cafe is amazing!!! Everything about this cafe had made my visit to Portugal so much better! The service in this cafe was incredible! I had come to this cafe twice and both times the staff has shown that they are super accommodating with your needs. The cafe itself super cute and aesthetic! Be prepared to wait because this place is always crowded! My family went at around 9 and the rush started to come in at around 10 so go a little early! Everything single item that we ordered was delicious! Starting off with drinks we had the lemonade with mint and cinnamon. This drink is super tart so just be prepared for that! The cappuccino is what really made my day! Made perfectly this drink was amazing! There was many different foods that we had at this cafe! This first one being the veggie toastie! The toastie's are like a veggie sandwich! Filled with many different roasted vegetables and a slight smear of goat cheese, this sandwich was my favorite of all the things that we got! Another great item was the scrambled eggs with tomato or the bread with tomato. Something about the tomatoes made both of these dishes incredible. Overall this place is amazing. There is a reason why there are always crowds flooding inside. The food is good and the atmosphere just makes this place even better! And don't forget to leave with a croissant because you will regret it!!!

    We found this place on our last morning here in Lisbon. We wished we found out about this breakfast place earlier during our stay here since it was a walkable distance from our hotel. If we knew earlier, we would have came here every morning. Reason being: BEST croissant we've ever had! Warm and crispy on the outside, fresh, soft like a cloud and buttery on the inside. Very hard to find such yummy croissant in the states. I really miss this place just thinking about it. Not only that, the Choupana brunch combo that we got was more than enough for 2 people (even for 3 people). The combo was a good deal (Euro 16.50 = about USD $18.00), comes with a lot of different items, it's tasty, healthy, and has nice presentations. Comes with a basket of bread, Pastries, and croissant with butter, jelly, and honey; a cup of fancy arty cappuccino; another 2nd drink choice of fresh squeezed OJ or juice of the day; a cup of yogurt with fresh your choice of 2 fresh fruits (we chose papaya and mango)- also another deliciousness that I really liked, very creamy; and a plate of vegetables entree (you can choose prosciutto, smoked salmon or vegetables entree). I was so indulged and amazed in the meal that I forgot to take a picture of the vege entree plate as well. A combo like this in the states could easily cost $25-30+ and it probably won't be as fresh and delicious. The cafe was very hip and modern, friendly staff (staff speaks English and have English menu available), they're busy (u know the stuff it's good), a lot of locals eating there, the wait was about 20-25 mins at 10:00-10:30am in the morning on a weekday even. Definitely would come back here again if we ever visit Lisbon again. Highly recommended if you're around the area!

    Choupana is A-OK. This neighborhood was missing a place like this, for sure. Good ambience and a good place to chat with a friend, while you drink a cappuccino and eat one of their many options. It has good pastries and decent meals (burgers, pizza, sandwiches, soup, salads and even pasta, there's a lot to choose from). The food doesn't wow me and that's why I think it's a little expensive. Service could be better.

    Yogurt, orange juice and lemonade
    Emily R.

    Very cute place. Staff is young and accommodating. We got a mozzarella, pesto tomato sandwich pressed and a yogurt. Prices are very affordable. And they let you stay and work or chat. Def recommend if you're in the area. Cute backyard area too but we sat inside in the back near the window. -W

    English menu looked like a newspaper (so cute)

    Couldn't be more happy with our choice to stop here before our flight back. The food was delicious, plates and drinks were presented with such a yummy appearance, and even the menu was a cute touch. The waiter was so wonderful and very polite, we felt so welcomed and enjoyed everything we had. As we finished up we took our card with our tab to pay at the front desk, then stepped outside to find a quick trip to the taxis stand! Sorry I didn't take a picture of my food it came out and I ate it so fast. But I had the cinnamon pancakes and they were yummy but the cinnamon and chocolate cappuccino hit the spot.

    Such cute decor!

    Such a cute, somewhat hipster cafe. Not touristy at all but the waiters do speak English well + an English menu. I ordered the iced espresso and scrambled eggs with chicken. Food was as pretty good. Would definitely come back again for the vibe and to try out the delicious looking and smelling pastries!

    Very sweet and delicious drinks. Food was good. Cute place.

    Manteigaria is a charming little shop that delivers one of the most satisfying and authentic pastel…read morede nata experiences you will find in Lisbon. What makes it special is watching the pastries being handmade right in front of you, which adds a level of freshness and craftsmanship that you can actually taste. The service was super fast and friendly. The pastel de nata came out perfectly, with that delicate flaky crust and warm custard that just hits differently when you know it was made moments ago. The espresso was equally impressive, rich and smooth, and the two together make for a simple but near perfect combination. If you are in the area, this is an easy and very satisfying stop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Oh no. Am I the only one who doesn't like the pastel de nata custard tarts this restaurant is so…read morefamous for? The crust was super flaky and the tart was nice and warm out of the oven, but I didn't like the flavor of the custard. I did forget to add cinnamon to the top, but I don't think it would have helped me personally. The woman who stood next to me at the counter had a nearly orgasmic experience next to me, so it's obvious that my taste buds are apparently off. I loved the patience of the server, who got confused when I told her I wanted to eat in but wanted to take water to go. Note to self...Portuguese folks want to have their "to go" as "takeaway." What I also didn't know was that there was no place to sit!! I scooted down the counter just like all the other folks to watch the bakers prep the next gozillion pastries for the day. That was interesting. Then, I didn't know how to bus my dishes. I just left them on the counter like all the other folks and went away. I wouldn't skip going because of my personal taste buds, though. Enjoy it for yourself and let me know if you have a different opinion than I did!
