A nice cafeteria with delicious desserts and a good quality of coffee, much more quite to drink it here than in the food central point

The line looked long but moved quickly. Ordered an Americano, came up quick and tasted great.

Unfortunately I visited this cafe during its darkest hours when there was a huge power shortage in Portugal. The whole airport was forced to shut down and there was zero electricity for shops to function normally. Staff at this cafe were trying very hard to cater needs from customers and they tried using flashlights to handle cash payments so that we could still get some food and water. Highly appreciate their effort during this period of time.

Quiet little spot with only a few tables. Really delicious pastel de nata! Would enjoy the coffee even more if it was served in porcelain cups rather than paper ones. The service is friendly and efficient.
