Tradicional Portuguese coffee shop. The merendinha (cheese and ham paties)was nice and fresh, also quite big in size. The galão (coffee with milk) was great...very tasty and it reminded me of the time when I lived in Lisbon. The croissants also look good, big and the price is quite cheap considering their size. The price is good. There are few tables to seat inside but I got a place to seat. The staff is very friendly.
