Top tier brunch and exceptional coffee. The chiado location is laid back on the inside but busy. The staff is nice and helpful with the menu. I ordered a special double espresso and it was one of my favorites I e had in Lisbon. The salmon Benedict was even better. The toast was thick and airy. The salmon was basically sushi. With the cream, pickled onions and hollandaise sauce mixed together it made me wish I had ordered two.
We arrived early n the hotel room wasn't ready so walked around to look for a place to have breakfast. We saw there was a line outside. N people said it was a his place. The line moved fast. The service was friendly everyone spoke English. We had flat white coffe w beautiful foam art n eggs Benedict w salmon. So good. I can see why there is a line.
My Turkish eggs hit the spot after eating pasteis de natas for breakfast five days in a row. A generous portion of creamy yogurt, a couple of nicely poached eggs and a splash of hot sauce was the perfect combo to slather atop the crusty bread. My chai latte was bomb too! My fiancé enjoyed his hearty salmon Benedict, which was made with brioche bread instead of the regular English muffin we're accustomed to. The cardamom bun we would probably skip. It was dense and not very cardamom forward. Our server was great and I give her kudos for her handling of the table next to us which was so ridiculous with their questions/demands/requests even my usually oblivious partner commented about them.
I saw this place on tik tok and really wanted to go here after seeing the Turkish Egg dish! They have several locations. We ate at the Chiado location since it was close to our airbnb. There was a line but it wasn't too long of a wait. The service was good, atmosphere was boisterous & fun. The lattes were really good! One of our friends is a huge coffee snob and she gave this place a thumbs up. We all ended up ordering the Turkish eggs dish. It was so good! It's really saucy. I wish they gave more bread because there was plenty of sauce to soak up! I highly recommend this dish. This place was so good that we came here twice. I definitely recommend!
Went twice while on my trip. the first time I tried the coconut flat white & the second time I got a pistachio latte both really good quality coffee, and not too sweet. I also ordered the turkey focaccia sandwich with a side of fries and it was exceptional. The focaccia was super fresh and so was everything inside of the sandwich; the fries came out piping hot. My friend got the pancakes with maple syrup and butter, a side of eggs for one euro, but they made like four eggs so definitely worth it. It has plenty of tables for two people. They can combine other tables for bigger groups, but it seems like it's consistently busy with low wait times. Slow but good service.
Came here for the coffee and it's magnificent. The tables are all filled and some ppl waiting outside. The service is fast and very friendly as well. The place is nice
This is a small coffee shop & prepare to stand in line outside to get in, even if you're ordering to go. It's worth the wait whether you're eating in or taking a coffee to go. The food all look amazing, we were getting coffee to go, it did not disappoint. Ambiance, small, packed yet not overly loud. Shall hit it again on our way out of Portugal. Our only current regret was not buying coffee beans while there, darn!
We tried the mushroom and salmon toasts and the syrniki (ukranian pancakes). The brioche toasts were very fluffy and the food was all really flavorful. Nice ambiance and service was good too
The Folks is yet another lovely café in Lisbon! They have multiple locations and the service was great! The location we went to had a huge patio space that was perfect for breakfast! I got the avocado toast and lemonade and both were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend
- [ ] I visited The Folks on a Wednesday around 11 am. I had first walked over to their other location, but the kitchen there was closed for renovations so they recommended I head to this one instead if I wanted to order a dish. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but I only waited about 20 minutes to be seated. The interior had a cool design & a lively, social atmosphere--perfect for brunch with friends. I ordered their syrniki. The presentation was stunning & the dish itself was delicious. I loved the mango twist they added to the classic recipe. They also have a great selection of specialty coffees--I unfortunately didn't order one this time. I'd definitely love to visit again to try more of their dishes & drinks!
Would love to come back to The Folks! The line to dine in was long but I got a Tiramisu latte to go and it was delicious! I'm not normally a coffee drinker but the sweetness of this latte was just right and gave me a perfect pick me up on the walk toward Alfama. The restaurant is in a cute alleyway and the seating is gorgeous, I would love to come back one day and try the food!
We had just gotten off the plane, and were in need of caffeine and a bite of food. The Folks was an excellent choice for both. This little spot is surprisingly small, and punches way above its weight in the quality of its food. They clearly take their coffee program seriously as well, and all the addicts with me were extremely pleased with their choices (I don't drink coffee). I knew the day was going to be long and full of rich food, so I ordered the greek yogurt with caramelized banana and fresh berries. Around the table, there were some benedicts chosen, an avocado toast, and the turkish eggs. Every single dish was beautiful and tasty. It's a coffeeshop, but back in the kitchen they are taking the time and care to take food from simple to excellent. Someone blowtorched my banana for gods' sakes. If I wasn't on vacation and into exploring the rest of the city, I would've gladly eaten here a couple more times.

Incredible service matched with amazing caffeine and a funky ceiling. We ordered with our eyes, the yogurt bowl with sugared bananas was amazing, the salmon toast was huge and so fresh, followed with Scottish poached eggs, full over flavor. The staff was so accommodating, the cafe was packed but they never missed a beat. We even grabbed a couple of bags of coffee to take home. read more

We stopped by this location near the Jerónimos Monastery and had a really lovely breakfast overall! The Cured Salmon Benedict was the absolute star of the show. The eggs were poached absolutely perfectly, and the runny yolk soaked into the beautifully light brioche bun. The flavor profile was excellent; the dollop of herbed cream cheese paired incredibly well with the fresh spinach and the punch of the pickled red onion. My only tiny personal critique is that I wished the salmon itself was just a bit saltier, leaning closer to a traditional lox, but it was still incredibly flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, it was a bit of a mixed experience. I ordered the Iced Pistachio Latte, which unfortunately left me a little underwhelmed. It wasn't a bad drink by any means, but the pistachio flavor just wasn't very prominent. On the plus side, my friend ordered the Iced Tiramisu Latte, and hers was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. Overall, it's a great spot with high-quality food and a fantastic location. read more

10/10! From the coffee to the food, it was all scrumptious. Folks has different locations throughout Lisbon. All of them area amazing! Even brought coffee back with me to the states. read more
This cafe has a super fun interior space to enjoy your coffee and share lunch. The focaccia sandwich had fresh ingredients and soft, seasoned focaccia holding it all together. The coconut flat white had a good taste but unfortunately had quite a bit of grittiness (coffee grounds? powdered coconut?) that made it hard to drink. read more

My friend and I loved this brunch spot, but we did not have a good experience with the service. The server sat us and did not return with menus, after 20 minutes we had to walk up the counter and get menus for ourselves even after seeing her sit multiple other parties with menus. Other than the service the food was delicious and very beautifully plated. read more
