    아아랑 아라 너무 맛있어요!! I just had two cups of coffee by myself. It’s sooooo good. The taste of coffee was a little bit sour and bit dark but fresh! PERFECT!:))

    yummy coffee and great service, with a relaxing atmosphere. the music is mellow, perfect to read a book, catch up with a friend or get some work done. some tables are laptop-free, but there’s a big communal table reserved for that purpose.

    (Translated by Google) Impeccable service. I learned that coffee doesn't need sugar and I felt flavors and aromas that I never imagined feeling when drinking coffee. And the atmosphere is very cozy. My new point in Lisbon! (Original) Atendimento impecável. Aprendi que café não precisa de açúcar e senti sabores e aromas que nunca imaginei sentir ao tomar café. E o ambiente é bastante aconchegante. Meu novo point de Lisboa!

    Very nice coffee shop, with their own pastry options and specialty coffee. The service is very casual and friendly. The space is relaxed and attracts an international crowd. I had a to-go filter coffee and a vegan chocolate roll. Both great! It also sells a few coffee related utensils and some arts and crafts. The relaxed vibe, simple decoration, and the independent local art it promotes, combine well into a smooth, uncomplicated experience.

    A really nice café with good coffee. Unfortunately, there are only few places outside, but it’s okay to sit inside. Grab some issue of the New Yorker and enjoy your coffee. I recommend an Americano - Nice balance of the beans and not too acidy as some espresso beans can be

    You know you’ve found your local coffee shop when, in a city full of options, you keep going back to the same place. Malabarista Café is my fav spot in Lisbon! The coffee is excellent and prepared with passion by the owners. Ricardo and Jadwiga are, above all, coffee enthusiasts, and they share their enormous knowledge with the customers. It doesn't matter if you are an espresso or filter kind of person; you’ll be in good hands in both cases. The food is excellent, with homemade, vegetarian, and vegan options. Whereas some coffees prefer the easier path and sell industrial food, Malabarista’s pastries are always fresh. In sum, Malabarista is the best specialty coffee you’ll find in Anjos and Lisbon ♥️

    Small cafe with nice staff and friendly environment. Full of students working so is a dynamic environment. Coffee is really fruity in flavour and good and strong! Nice place to work with tables reserved for computers and some with no computers. Good fair concept.

    Really high quality coffee. Best pastry in town (not exaggerating) the croissants and pastéis de nata are always super fresh straight from the oven. Multilingual professional staff. Love this place!!!

    Well, I don't know where I have to start. First of all, the staff is awesome! Ricardo and Jadwiga are mastering the art of hospitality, which is pretty hard to accomplish. What about the coffee? The first thing is: they love what they doing and this is the key to the success. Any coffee comes out perfectly and they care about the finished product, explaining everything you need to know about the coffee origin and the methods of extraction available in the shop. In the same way, the pastries are made with a lot of care and perfectly suitable for vegetarians and vegans. If you are looking for a lovely experience in Lisbon, please come by and enjoy it.

    I've traveled around the world twice. I had 100% Kona coffee from Hawaii, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee but this place is something else. Absolutely amazing! People are attentive, courteous and kind. The coffee was the best I've ever had. Will be back before returning home next week. Obrigado!

    Beautiful Café in a beautiful neighborhood of the city. As I am really picky with my flat white, I can say without a doubt. Worth every zip! Visit late morning or early afternoon for best time to enjoy sun outside on the street. Oh, also tried the little chocolate cake / cinnamon roll. Nothing to complain! ;))

    This cafe has the best cappuccino I have tried so far in Lisbon! The service was quick and friendly.

  • 5/5 Vadym F. 3 months ago on Google • 104 reviews New
    The ideal flat white on the right side - made from fruity Casta Rican coffee, with amazing look and smooth feel in the mouth. The left one was a bit poured over, but it didn't impact the taste much.

  • 4/5 Kseniya G. 5 months ago on Google • 64 reviews
    Cozy place, I liked that there are separate tables for laptops🙃 Delicious desserts - we took carrot cake, amazing. The coffee is good, but too strong for us) It was hard to feel a taste of oat milk 😅

  • 5/5 Isabel C. 1 year ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Hands off one of my favorite coffee shops. The staff is so friendly and warm. Coffee? Delicious and one of the best for sure in Lisbon! You also have a large table where you can work on the computer. The coffee shop isn’t big but it’s lovely and has a spacious feel to it (lots of natural light) on a quiet street. The chocolate cookie is super tasty! I will always come here 💗 Obrigada!

    A much-needed third-wave cafe in this part of the neighborhood with delicious homemade pastries and a solid 2 EUR flat white. Minimalist decor, chill beats, and friendly service. Wish it were closer up the hill to Penha de França, but I'll definitely be back!

  • 1/5 Rebecca F. 2 years ago on Google
    Fake reviews and the worst specialty coffee ever! Cappuccino was undrinkable, steamed wrong, without right structure. Filter coffee was terrible, dark roast and over extracted, too bitter. Owners are friendly only with their friends. The place looks very cheap and uncomfortable. If you understand specialty coffee well, don’t waste your time for visiting this place.

  • 5/5 Green G. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Emilio T. 2 years ago on Google
    Waaay better than the “classic cafés” you’ll find in touristic locations. The price is good and the quality is excellent. The staff is truly friendly!

  • 5/5 Paul S. 2 years ago on Google
    I agree with prior reviewer. The traditional cafes are nothing to write home about. Wherever I go I seek specialty coffee-best cafe for me in Portugal so far. As a note, "Rebecca" has 5 reviews. I have 104 reviews across a dozen countries, so nothing nothing fake about my reviews. What Rebecca calls "cheap" and "uncomfortable" most of us recognize as minimalism.

  • 5/5 Lola R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious! Very tasty espresso and banana bread is my favorite cake - great for a quick breakfast or afternoon coffee. I also tried vegan stromboli and craft beer. I recommend! (Original) Delicioso! Espresso muito saboroso e o banana bread é o meu bolo favorito - ótimo para um pequeno almoço rápido ou café da tarde.

    (Translated by Google) The coffee is just incredible. The baristas' work is impeccable, certainly the best in Lisbon. We always choose to have a filter coffee and it is always amazing, with a unique variety. The pastry is great and fresh. The staff is super attentive and friendly. The super clean space and perfect minimalist decor. I recommend with my eyes closed! (Original) O café é simplesmente incrível. O trabalho dos baristas é impecável, de certeza os melhores de Lisboa. Optamos sempre por tomar um café de filtro e este esta sempre incrível, com uma variedade sem igual. A pastelaria é óptima e fresca. O staff é super atencioso e simpático. O espaço super limpo e decoração minimalista perfeita. Recomendo de olhos fechados!

    (Translated by Google) This space in the area of ​​the angels is a mandatory stop for those who like to enjoy a good coffee. It is a pleasant space, despite not having much decoration. There are not many tables but even so, there are those who venture to spend a lot of work or study in front of the laptop. An espresso is a little more expensive than a trivial coffee but it is worth paying the difference even if you can't go every day. Besides the coffee being good, the service is done with a lot of sympathy and deserves a visit. Oh and they also usually have homemade cakes. (Original) Este espaço na zona dos anjos é paragem obrigatória para quem gosta de apreciar um bom café. É um espaço agradável, apesar de não ter muita decoração. Não tem muitas mesas mas mesmo assim há quem se aventure a passar um bocado a trabalhar ou estudar em frente ao portátil. Um expresso é um pouco mais caro do que num café trivial mas vale a pena pagar a diferença mesmo que não se possa ir todos os dias. Além do café ser bom, o atendimento é feito com muita simpatia e merece a visita. Ah e também costumam ter bolos caseiros.
