  “Five stars doesn't do the vibe here justice. It's just the type of place that's so cool you could feel a little excluded but you always get an unbelievably warm welcome. This is definitely a local establishment, it feels like it's part of the community and has a little community of its own. I've had coffees ranging from americano to brown sugar espresso iced coffee and they've never been anything other than excellent. The only thing you might need to prepare yourself for is the price. £5.80 for a cinnamon roll is a little eye-watering but the quality is second to none and they are big enough to share. Do not let it put you off. If you live anywhere near this little gem give it a go even if it's just once. But remember if you do, you'll almost definitely be back.”

  “By far one of the best cafés I've ever been to! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, the coffee was proper coffee, and the sweet treats were to die for. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the owner. They were so friendly and took the time to have genuine conversations rather than just the usual small talk. It's not often you come across customer service that's this welcoming and personal, but they absolutely nailed it. We'll definitely be back—100% recommend!”

  “We've eaten lunch here regularly since the cafe opened. Tonight we went to the Friday evening tapas night. As expected the food was top notch and plentiful. A great vibe all round. Keep on doing what you're doing. It works so well!”

  “Amazing every single time and I won’t stop telling everybody to try! The best thing to come to Rothwell in a long time! ☕️ amazing coffee, matcha and other drinks made with love and care. 🍴 food is incredible!!!!! May have to get take out if can’t get a seat. Summer is the perfect time. Take out refrigerated drinks now too!! 🔮 Ivan’s a mystic Meg and will predict your order, your vibe and who you are. 🎨 decor is cosy, well thought out and a slice of Portugal in LS26. It’s truly a blessing to be able to visit and get exactly what I came for everytime! Coffee, food, vibes 🙏🏽✨ Maybe refrain from going in if you don’t have a personality or love and appreciation for others. Because the biggest critics could never do what Ivan and the team are doing. Just manifesting it to get even bigger in the future with outdoor space.”

  “Absolute gem of a cafe!! 🤍 Food & drinks are always a slay, all the staff are friendly and make you feel so welcome, it feels like going to a mates house. Vegan & veggie options are amazing, so good to have an equal range of dishes to pick from! Highly recommend the blueberry oat matcha, not only does it taste good but it’s Ivan’s fave drink too and not basic at all xoxo”

  “De Oliveira is such an amazing addition to Rothwell and I feel so lucky to have it. Ivan is so friendly and treats every customer like family. Coffee is excellent and the pastel de nata definitely match the ones we had in Lisbon. We were lucky enough to go to the first after hours evening. The 6 vegan dishes were fabulous and the best vegan feta I've ever had. I honestly cannot fault it and look forward to seeing what the future entails.”

  “Firstly, I travelled 30 minutes to the cafe, I waited about 10 minutes to be served which we did not mind. Once I got to the counter I was rushed with my order with a patronising attitude. I spent almost £44 and had to remind the guy that served us that he did not serve us the pastries that we paid for. The bifana was full of fat, looked like was a very cheap part of pork that was used for it. My husband is Portuguese and I had bifanas that are home made as well as from cafes in Portugal and this is the worst one that I ever had. Pastel de natas are no different than the ones sold in Lidl and Lidl natas cost about 75p so definitely not worth it. Tastes nothing really like natas in Portugal. We were rushed around but the server had lots of time to chat to people after us. My 7 years old daughter said as we left that the person that served us was not very kind and that she did not want to come back to the cafe ever again. We will not be back. I am very disappointed with the experience and I think its disgusting that the service is so bad considering how expensive everything is.”

  “We've not stopped in yet but from a visual what has been done inside in such a small area is fantastic. Looks really cosy and inviting. The pastel de nata were sooooooo good. We got a few and they were all delicious. I've been raving about them to anyone who will listen. Very much look forward to the opening of the new cafe location”

  “Visited here for the first time today and will definitely be back. A lovely little cafe, the owner is very friendly, welcoming and can tell he loves what he does and that shows in the food & coffee. Absolutely delicious. Looking forward to visiting the bigger cafe once open 🙂”
