Copenhagen Coffee Lab - Cais do Sodré

Cafe Coffee shop

😠 Poor service and poor beverages. My lemonade tasted like water and a lot sugar and they refused to replace it when I requested. Not to mention the drink was tiny. Although I said it was for consumption in the restaurant, it was presented in a to-go cup. A waste of €3.50 as I could not drink it. This... People often mention coffee, good, nice, Coffee, great, service, atmosphere, space, staff, friendly,

    Poor service and poor beverages. My lemonade tasted like water and a lot sugar and they refused to replace it when I requested. Not to mention the drink was tiny. Although I said it was for consumption in the restaurant, it was presented in a to-go cup. A waste of €3.50 as I could not drink it. This place is an embarrassment to Portugal. Never coming back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    Very busy cafe. I noticed that most customers here are not locals. All of my visits were pleasant. Despite having many customers they are able to serve as fast as possible. Also this cafe has a lot of space to move around. Would not recommend it though if you want a cozy and relaxing coffee experience as it’s just very busy and most customers here are talking and having some meetings sometimes. All of their pastries are good! Never a visit that disappoints me in terms of quality of the food or coffee

    This was my second time visiting Copenhagen Coffee Lab in Lisbon and I was happy with the service again. I like the cold brew they serve here and the atmosphere was very nice. This one is very close to the famous Pink Street so if you’re around the area and looking for a place to chill down and enjoy some good coffee, definitely try Coffee Lab. Prices are very reasonable, enough tables and sockets so you can bring your laptop and do your work here.

    Excellent place to work at an open cafe with delicious food and coffee. Mornings can get very busy, but it calms down at ~12. Very recommended.

    Yummy coffee and baked goods! Coffee is a bit expensive (3.80€ for a latte). Great for remote working too as they allow laptops and have a good wifi! It’s very spacious and well ventilated. Nice staff; you’ll find many of these across Lisbon.

    Very nice hipster coffee place with stone archways and open spacious feeling. They only had one vegan pastry option -- granola bar with chocolate. They can make vegan espresso drinks like cappuccino with oat milk which was beautiful and delicious.

    Excellent sandwiches and decent coffee with plenty of space to chill and work. A bit on the pricier side but the price to quality ratios is high. This will be my morning coffee and bite place from now on in this area of Lisbon. I usually get the smoked salmon sandwich or the Serrano ham one. Both are excellent and the Serrano can be shared between two people. Recommended if you are in the Cais do Sodre or Pink St. area.

    I can already give 5 stars because the restaurant is pet-friendly🥰🐶🐾 I like coffee here. Really delicious luxury coffee. They use arabica coffee beans. The atmosphere here is relaxing and friendly. Recommend this place for every coffee lover!

    An enlightened high quality breakfast. The avocado breakfast with the home made bread is a good combination of testing my taste buds!

    Ok so a little pretentious for average coffee. Got reprimanded for requesting a takeaway cappuccino under the advice that it’ll taste different (sorry we don’t all have time to sit down and enjoy your ceramic cups). Appreciated the seemingly genuine forewarning but unfortunately was very patronising and embarrassing in front of everyone. Looking for my daily hit whilst in the city elsewhere. Sorry. Again decent tastes coffee just tasteless customer service.

    Not great. Over priced. Minimal selection of pastries. Basic croissant was more than $2?? Salmon sandwich was served on real dry “bun”. Just put it in a croissant. Espresso was good and fair price. There were also pigeons inside…. It was $9.50 for just two espresso and two breakfast items

    Great coffee! Probably best in town. The place has enormous echo: high ceilings, rock walls. Therefore you’ll be listening to the constant blender noise coming from prep area, other people conversations etc. if you are looking to be in a cozy place with your book and coffee, this probably won’t be the right fit.

    Coffee tastes great. Staff is friendly and it seems like it's THE hotspot for digital nomads. I def. see myself sitting here soon too. Will keep this one short and simple, you won't be disappointed if you come here.

    I love that place. Very big coffee shop with a cool open interior, nice music and lovely vibes. The coffee is top notch. Try their bakery too🔥🔥 they have lovely desserts and good sandwiches. The reason why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of their toilets. Unfortunately it’s extremely messy. It’s very important for you to fix it!!!!! It’s an fnb concept and hygiene is a top priority 😕

    No downside here.. And they have a few locations around town. Great coffee, yeah it's a little more expensive but the cups seem larger than usual. Superb staff, so nice and helpful. They change out coffee origins regularly so it's nice to get a bit different flavor on diffent days. Loved the pastries as well. My only tip would be to have servers insure the latte milk added to the coffee is very hot. Other than that... Excellent.

    A beautiful café with the finest quality ingredients: you can enjoy either sweet and salty food while maybe even smart working in a calm location. The service is at the top! I highly recommend it for breakfast or a snack meal during the day 😉

    Their ambience is pretty nice, with a lot of space and well decorated. Not cozy since it is big and pretty busy, but more like a modern "get together with friends" vibe. The food is very good and well served. Their specialty coffee. We had espressos and handbrewed coffee, all nicely roasted and well prepared by the barista. Price is a bit high(but expected, considering the quality), and the service is ok, not very charismatic but not bad either.

    Really good cardamom buns and good coffee. The price is very reasonable. The space is beautiful with high ceilings.

    Great coffee hangout with a spacious interior and good atmosphere. I had a flat white and cardamom bun which hit the spot. They also have a broad range of sandwiches as well and good to order. The coffee is excellent and it's definitely worth a visit if you are nearby.

    • One of the best coffees I had in Lisbon, but it’s a pitty that they don’t serve “iced” V60 which’s weird tbh! • They have wide selection of desserts, sandwiches, and baked goods. • The place is huge inside with many seats. • Good service and reasonable prices.

    We saw this spot the night we arrived into Lisbon, so we decided to try it out for breakfast with the kids in the morning. First off, the staff are very friendly! They’re quick and efficient as well. In terms of ambiance, it’s a really cool space, with a blend of old & new architecture. I’m no fan of artificial plants, but the way this place uses it really creates a nice, pleasant space. For the coffee and pastries, simply amazing! The cappuccino was perfection, like being in Italy or Australia and the Cinnamon Cream Roll was great, so great that one of my sons stole it from me after he ate his Pain au Chocolat. My wife enjoyed her Double Espresso and the Green Juice while the boys had Blueberry Smoothies. I enjoyed my Cappuccino and the space I was surrounded by… This place is kid-friendly and offers a lot of great options for food, whether you prefer sweet or savory.

    I love this branch of Copenhagen coffee lab, good coffee in beautiful cups and tasty food. The cinnamon creamy bun is so delicious, I order it again! Perfect.

    Good coffee and great ambience. Good collection of bakery items here. Open early too.

  • 5/5 George M. 4 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Huge seating area and nice relaxed atmosphere for a coffee pitstop on the way to Bairro Alta. This was our second stop at a Copenhagen Coffee Lab. We had flat whites which were well made. Only complaint is that they were not able to make 1/2 decaf, only full decaf, but that’s not the end of the world. Overall very friendly staff and great setting.

  • 4/5 H J. 4 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Very nice atmosphere and asthetically pleasing food/seating. The oats were bland but other food and coffee was very nice.

  • 4/5 Pez C. 2 years ago on Google
    Some food options but this is mostly a coffee shop where a lot of people Co-work. The WiFi can be a little unstable.

  • 3/5 Ana M. 6 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    It was ok. Oat flat white was fine but nothing special. Good selection of pastries and baked goods. Overall vibe was a bit unsettling as the café atmosphere wasn't that cozy and service could be better.

  • 5/5 Debbie F. 1 year ago on Google
    Best breakfast spot in town! Convenient to where we stayed so visited multiple times. Coffee, pastries, meals...all 5 star +!!!

  • 5/5 Alice Di C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to stop by for a coffee. I've get a pain au chocolate and a oat milk cappuccino. The cappuccino wasn't so creamy as I thought at first sight but it was fine, probably it's because of the oat milk. Anyway I give 5 stars becouse I've loved the atmosphere and the staff was extremely kind.

  • 4/5 Rony Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place and mood, good coffee. Just one request, please have honey or sweetener.

  • 4/5 Jennifer H. 2 years ago on Google
    Spacious and nice coffee place with great coffee and bakes goodies. It has the tram running right by which is cool but also makes it a bit louder. Back tables are open for working, front tables are no laptop zones.

  • 4/5 Y F. 2 years ago on Google
    Typical scando coffee shop interior, stylish and minimalistic. Coffee tastes nice, only non dairy option is oatmilk, which they charge extra for. Pastries and sandwiches are delicious. Very friendly staff. Picky with my cappuccino and theirs was not bad. Would go back and would recommend.

  • 4/5 Evelina B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, separate place to work or study with the laptop, great specialty coffee, although bit expensive. Staff is friendly, they speak English really well. The second time I also had a filter coffee and the cup size is enormous, it doesn’t really feel like specialty, I’d much rather prefer regular cup than huge one. Also, sometimes there are pigeons inside and many flies.

👍 Nice spot, cool interior, busy at all hours and with a great menu. Juices and smoothies are good, food is hit or miss. Eggs and burger weren’t perfect, but we tried other dishes and they were fine. Reservation is definitely recommended.
