Copenhagen Coffee Lab

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


The newest location of this Danish-based speciality coffee house – Lisbon's third – is the perfect pit stop while wandering the cinematic lanes of Alfama. The biggest of their three spaces feels less Nordic among the ancient Alfama stone walls, and is a more bakery-centric operation, with pastries, breakfasts (€10) and sandwiches (€6 to €8). The coffee is some of Lisbon's best.
