Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the draw most reviewers return to, with the cappuccino and espresso both singled out as excellent or the best, and one reviewer likening a cup to a short stay in Portugal. Close behind are the Portuguese snacks and food, including a Patacon that one reviewer urges others to try. Staff are described as friendly and nice, and a few reviewers call the place cheap and open early in the morning. The one sour note comes from a reviewer who ordered a latte, watched a kitchen worker in red industrial gloves come out to the counter, saw another customer served first, and left without a drink. Another reviewer calls the Portuguese-owned atmosphere great, right down to a television playing in Portuguese, and finishes on two delicious custard tarts with an excellent coffee.
