Hi, I’m Elena
As a Ukrainian who found my second home in Lisbon, it was love at first sight! From the moment I entered a cozy coffee shop near my apartment, I knew I belonged.
Lisbon is filled with modern cafés serving fantastic coffee and featuring stunning interiors. I can't wait to share this journey with you!

The Venue
It's a cozy spot that blends third-wave coffee culture with a relaxed coworking vibe. Located in the Rato area, it attracts both coffee lovers and remote workers looking for a comfortable place to focus or connect.
The Layers
It was opened by Ukrainians who also own one of the best coffee spaces in Kyiv. They bring coffee beans from there, roast them, and serve the best possible coffee (the filter is my favorite). The vibe feels just like home.

It offers specialty coffee and delicious desserts every day until 16:00. Stylish and cheerful baristas will definitely brighten your day.
æra coffee
It is tucked away somewhere in Lapa among the narrow streets of Lisbon, a small but very cozy café with artisanal pastries and, of course, specialty coffee.
Simpli
It is a chain of cafes serving 100% Arabica coffee and offering a variety of desserts, including croissants and pastéis, a famous Portuguese treat. Look for one near you; my favorite is located in Saldanha.
The Coffee
This place offers much more than specialty coffee; it's a unique destination that combines quality coffee with architecture, technology, minimalism, and an exceptional experience. A must-visit for coffee and aesthetic lovers alike. You can also buy coffee beans and stylish merchandise. Search for the one closest to you.
Dramático
It is a small specialty coffee shop in Lisbon’s Príncipe Real neighborhood, serving high-quality brews from La Cabra in a minimalist, no-laptop space designed for slow moments and genuine connection.
ALBI Lisboa
It is a cozy café and bistro serving NOMAD specialty coffee, vibrant brunch plates, and homemade focaccia. With its laid-back vibe and a turntable playing vinyl records, it’s the perfect escape for slow mornings and creative minds.

The signature dessert of Portugal, pastel de nata, awaits your discovery. These delectable custard tarts boast a crispy, flaky crust that gives way to a creamy, rich custard filling, delicately flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. When in search of the best pastéis in Lisbon, you may find many options, but be sure to explore this place; you won't forget the true pleasure they offer.
