Good and affordable espresso. Cappuccino was from a mix packet and was more expensive -- would recommend sticking with the espresso!

Super little Café for a Tosta Mista for my daughter and a lovely full pasta salad with tuna for me at the counter on the way from a glorious morning in Sintra to Praia das Maçãs Beach. A nice find with the most lovely owner.
