I go for the sweet side of the counter but the mini quiche and onion-shaped breaded chicken are fabulous. They have two huge spaces to sit in as well as room outside on sunny days. It's a great place for an expresso stop, lunch treat or to sit and study or read.

Second stop was for ice cream. They were so many unique flavors to pick from - it was so hard to decide. You can sample flavors but only after picking a size (cone or cup) and making a payment. The cup sizes include one less flavor so for example with a medium cup, you can select up to three flavors. With a medium cone, it is just two. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is incredibly patient as you sample and try the different flavors. They also speak English and will help translate and explain flavors. I ended up going with a medium cup with pistachio, fig and ricotta and golden milk (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper - it's amazing!) They have both non-vegan and vegan flavors so ample choices for all diets. There is very little indoor seating (one table) but plenty of seating (tables and chairs) outside for people watching. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Don't skip the Pork a Portuguesa if you're hungry and it's your first visit. The espresso is the best I've had in Portugal, and I've visited over six major cities so far. The staff is accommodating to foreigners (I speak English) and very polite. Food comes out fairly quick, so no worries if you're on a time schedule (apart of a tour group).
