After squeezing through the teeming masses in Livraria Lello and climbing up the tower at Torre Dos…read moreClérigos, Jamie W and I were definitely in need of a recharge and looked for a cafe in the center of Porto. This popped up constantly as a popular spot for coffee lovers, so we made a beeline. It has a light and airy Blue Bottle look and vibe. We didn't mind since it reminded us of the Bay Area. Seating on the first floor was limited, but fate allowed us to secure a table at the foot of the stairs up to the mezzanine where the laptoppers hang out. We ordered a Latte and a Cappuccino at 3,5€ each (Photo 8). Both were smoothly brewed and infused seamlessly with steamed milk. They offered a limited selection of baked treats. In need of a nosh, we got a chewy Choco Cookie (Photo 7) and a sweetly puffed Pao de Queijo (Portuguese Cheesebread) (Photo 10) at just 2,5€ each. Both were yummy with the cheesebread particularly satisfying. I wish we could've stayed longer than a half-hour, but the rest of Porto was waiting.
