A friendly, basic café. All the locals gather here with their families, and there's lots of chatter and laughter. Gina, the proprietor, provides service with a smile. I just wish I could speak fluent Portuguese, because I'd love to chat to her.

This is our local cafe from our place in Portugal and the lady who runs it is lovely. Great coffee and cakes. Bar and other snacks too. There are games and books inside and often children playing Uno. Everyone is extremely friendly and you regularly get people from all over there as many local teachers live nearby. Prices are very good. Our favourite cafe. Do check out the bakery opposite, the bread and cakes are amazing. She evens brings water out for our puppies.

Had the most amazing Chicken kebab at this place. The owner and operator is super friendly and believes in good food and value for money. I was blown away and honestly, this was the last place I would have expected to have a Chicken kebab on offer. This Cafe is a must visit. I even went back for a hit the road coffee. I will be back!
