On some travel website noticed this delicious place I felt great artistic atmosphere with airy white interior and when if a few days visited it from overseas, I sat at their giant panoramic window enjoying yellow Lisbon funiculars while drinking Mill's fresh coffee with pancakes and then juice. It's a great atmospheric and delicious place to visit in Lisbon. Cheers!
First Impressions: super cute and cozy... would fit right in if it were in Brooklyn or NYC. Clean aesthetic with tasteful decor. Staff was super nice and friendly The Noms: Smoked salmon omelette - salmon was generous and portions were filling. I just wish they put the salmon on top of the omelette so it doesn't get all warmed up from the hot eggs Avocado toast - I can make this way better at home but my sister was craving it. I will say their roasted cherry tomatoes were ever good with a bit of salt and pepper on them B(e)LT - bacon was crisp and portions were generous. I hate when BLTs skimp on the bacon but this spot was good. Pepper jam was really good with the sandwich. Fried egg was just a tad over done and not as much runny yolk as I'd like. Still good tho Banana bread with berries and cream - this was a highlight of the meal. We shared two slices of this and it was the perfect ending to brunch. Not too sweet, the slightly tart berries snd cool cream really made this a top "dessert" experience for me I'm Conclusion: 10/10!" Would recommend. Very filling and satisfying as well. Came on my last morning in Lisbon but would have happily come here for breakfast all the other days I was here if I'd found out about it sooner.
Absolutely the best breakfast we had the whole time in Portugal and that included staying at a resort in Algarve. The bacon and egg sandwich was bomb! Very fulfilling, on a fresh bagel and the bacon was crisp and truly hand-cut! Then the flat white coffee was so good that I ordered 2! Going back here again one more time on Tuesday before we leave!
I stayed across the street from The Mill and was mad that I did not visit more often. The Mill is a hip, trendy cafe with a great ambience. I was able to visit twice and really enjoyed it. It does get busy, so you will likely have a wait. The first time, I came in the afternoon, and ordered a cappucino and some toast. I had just arrived from an awful plane ride and was looking forward to relaxing. The cappuccino was great but my toast never arrived. My server eventually said something to me, but at that point, I didn't want it. I returned the next morning and ordered a cappuccino and the blueberry pancakes. Again, a perfect cappuccino and the pancakes (we'd probably think of them more as a Dutch baby) were tasty and filling. I wanted to return to try the avocado toast, but didn't get to. When I return to Lisbon, I will be back here.
What a first breakfast for us in Lisbon in this nice little coffee shop. We ordered a bunch of things as you can see in the pictures. Everything tasted great. Everything was a bit pricy as it costed us 40+ euro for the breakfast but it was well worth it. Portions were great. So was taste. Not too salty, not too sweet, not too greasy. It was just so healthy and tasty. I can't get over the fact that olive oil tastes so refreshing anywhere I eat here. The guy at that cafe was super nice. He helped with some questions for our trip to Sintra and recommended me to use Bolt instead of Uber.
I stayed in Lisbon for a week and ended up coming here twice for breakfast, and it was perfect for what I wanted. While I was in town, I tried really hard to have an authentic Portugal experience. I ate lots of pastiel de nata and visited lots of restaurants with no English menus. So, that being said, let's get this straight: The Mill isn't an authentic Portugal experience haha. I wouldn't say there were many if any locals there. But that's ok, and their seating style leaves you open to meeting other tourists from all over the world. It was nice for that. The atmosphere is trendy, upscale-ish hipstery vibes, which felt very familiar to me, coming from Seattle. The espresso was some of the best I had while I was in Lisbon and didn't disappoint. The food, too, was great, and made with love. The Portuguese don't eat many veggies when they dine out, and that's exactly why I'd picked this place. Their menu features some healthier options, so if you're feeling over-full from all the meat 'n' potatoes of Lisbon you can handle (and salt cod) give this place a shot.

While visiting Lisbon for my birthday, I decided to stop by The Mill after seeing one of the baristas on Instagram and wanting to support the business. I sat alone at the windowsill and ordered the classic breakfast (€13.50) and a Bloody Mary (€8). The food was fine, but the experience at checkout left a bad impression. I was told there would be an additional €4.50 charge for the bacon in the Bloody Mary. I pointed out that this was not reflected anywhere on the menu. The waitress responded, "It doesn't make sense to me either," yet the charge was still not removed. So ultimately, I paid €4.50 for one piece of soggy bacon in tomato juice. I highlighted and attached the menu because transparency matters, especially for visitors unfamiliar with local practices. Unfortunately, this felt like a clear tourist upcharge, which was disappointing given my initial excitement to support the establishment. read more

They have a great promotion where you can buy a bag of coffee beans and get a free coffee. It was a good pit stop in the rain. I enjoyed my coffee. It seems full of tourists, but the vibe was fine with me. Service was friendly. read more

Amazing coffee, great food, and super friendly service. The owner's often around and always so kind and welcoming. The vibe is lively but still chill and watching the cable car roll by makes it even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Lisbon! read more
Cute little breakfast spot near many of the many attractions in the center of Lisbon. Opens relatively early. Coffee and food were both tasty. It seems to be filled with mostly tourists and that probably explains the higher prices. Servers were very friendly. read more

A thoroughly wonderful breakfast. I had this banana bread with mascarpone and berries, my wife had the small chia bowl. We both had great flat whites. Our server was delightful, she took as much time chatting as we wanted. Highly recommended! read more

The food and service was great at The Mill. The restaurant is small so seating is tight, but overall a great place for a coffee or breakfast. read more

Great little cafe!! OMG! I wish I was staying another night so I could come back to this place in the morning. The service was great. The atmosphere is simple, clean, and fun. The mocha was delicious! In Melbourne toast with avocado, poached egg and roasted tomatoes was delicious. And the toasted banana bread with mascarpone and red berries was amazing. It was a perfect beginning to our day! Pictures of Pokémon supervisor yes read more

It's a nice place for brunch or breakfast. For coffee I would give even 7 stars. I found this place in a blog about Portugal. The food was ok but nothing special. I would definitely come back for coffee here but not for the food. My avocado toast had so much lime that I didn't taste anything else. Service is very friendly. read more

Came here for breakfast as it was close to our hostel. Was very impressed by the service, the menu selections, and the pricing was fair. We ordered two coffees, one smoothie, and the Melbourne breakfast to share. The smoothie and breakfast were delicious! The coffee was really not my taste. Not sure what they use but it might not be for everyone. Bitter and some fruity notes in it. The chairs at the window bar a bit wobbly. Overall a really great experience. read more

This was one of my favorite healthy brunch places to stop and eat so far in my Europe trip, I had the banana bread with mascarpone, and an iced coffee with the orange peel and oat milk. I've never had coffee with orange flavor inside, and now it's one of my favorite combinations. All the staff was super friendly, and the menu had so many options, I wish I was hungrier so I could've ordered more. Next time I'm in Lisbon I'm definitely coming again read more

The best place to have breakfast, coffee or any healthy food...... During our 3 days stay in Lisbon, we ate here twice and everytime we had delicious food with great service. The avocado to toast, omlettes, roasted cherry tomatoes, fried eggs were our all time favorites. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a must have. The service was excellent and food just perfect . read more

Love this place. Did not know it is so popular - line was out the door. Juanna our server was so friendly and wonderful. Coffee was great (we ordered the flat whites) and breakfast cooked to perfection. We also love that the owner hand painted all the plates and bowls for the shop. So beautiful!! read more

This is my favorite brunch spot in Lisbon. It competes against a number of other amazing cafes and hipster restaurant, but consistently delivers incredible service, delicious food, and a friendly environment that makes you feel at home. I can't say there is anything I wouldn't recommend on the menu but I love the full breakfast. read more
First word that I want to put out there for The Mill is AWESOME! Awesome food, awesome service. This was the first meal I had in Lisbon. Came straight from the airport and arrived here around 10:00 and the place was packed! I felt so awkward dragging in my large suitcase and duffle bag... but luckily, the waiters did not mind at all (probably was a norm for them by now) and allowed me to leave my stuff by the entrance where there were already a few smaller luggages. My friend and I were seated immediately since there were 2 empty seats right in front of the window. The stool was a little unsteady; mainly because it was high and wasn't quite big enough for someone to sit comfortably. Anyway, I got the avocado toast, which, as an avocado lover, you can never go wrong with choosing. I also got some tea since I was anticipating to stay here for a while (Couldn't check-in to our AirBnB until 13:00...). I received a personal teapot, which poured about 4 cups. My avocado toast was good. The bread was a little hard to cut through, but I'm putting most of the blame on the dull knife. Avocado was fresh and serving size was perfect. I was given plenty of avocado per slice of toast. A small side salad came with my meal; the greens weren't the freshest, but they weren't inedible. My friend and I stayed here for 2 hours, maybe even a little longer than that. We stayed all through breakfast/brunch rush hour, which made me feel a bit guilty and selfish, but in our defense, none of the parties waiting for seats were in a group of 2 so giving up our seats in front of the window wouldn't have made a difference. Nonetheless, the waitress who was serving us did not seem to mind us staying even after our food was long gone and only a sip of cold tea was left in my cup. read more

Such a great little cafe. We stumbled upon it while waiting to check into our Airbnb. And couldn't believe it when we ran into an old friend from SF! Felt like I was at a coffee shop in SF, the staff speaks English and Spanish. Food is really good. Went for breakfast every day of our stay. Coffee so good too. Known for their beautiful cappuccino's. you can order for take away or grab a seat for table service. read more

This Aussie-Portuguese breakfast place was a beautiful discovery during our jaunt to Lisbon. Bruno was excellent with his service. The classic breakfast and scrambled eggs with avocados hot just the right spot. Highly recommended is also their avocado smash. Don't leave without trying their freshly squeezed orange juice. read more
What a great stop for brunch! Friendly service, trendy atmosphere, and good coffee/food. The mocha was especially notable with very fresh cocoa - best I've ever had! Really enjoyed the eggs, mushrooms, and smashed avocado with the best crusty bread. Seems like we were lucky to sit down right away! I'd definitely go back! read more

There will be a line after 9am. Went there alone and was arranged with a stranger face to face at the long table. It was the most awkward but funny breakfast I've ever had. But the food was very nice and well presented. Staffs were very attentive. read more
