Very friendly, good spot to sit for a coffee and pastry, and (which seemed rare for this area) spotlessly clean bathrooms. Limited English but we communicated just fine.

Nice family business, great prices and really good toasted sandwiches. Great place to have your morning coffee and decide what to do for the day.

My favourite café in Praia das Maçãs. Great selection of cakes and pastries and a lovely outdoor seating area in the sun or a glass of wine/caipirinha at the end of the day. My favourite cake is Londres. Love this place!!
