“ Me and my girlfriend were visiting Olhão and stopped here for breakfast on a whim. But had to come back every single day while we were here! Food is cheap and plentiful and the staff of two sisters and mothers are so lovely and welcoming. Also they have plenty of gluten free options! If you’re staying this side of town this place is a must visit. ”
“ A MUST if you go near Faro, we had such amazing fresh food and great service that we came back twice on our 3 day trip. The pineapple juice and red berry lemonade is amazing and the pancakes and waffles as well are so fluffy. The portions are very generous too. Service is amazing, our waitress was so kind and gave us recommendations for our trip. We couldn’t recommend this place more!! ”
“ Lovely people serving great food. The coffee is really good. The fresh orange juice is a must. Then came the salada kebab. Wow. Don’t expect a typical kebab on a stick. There is no stick. The chicken is added to the salad along with the bacon in a perfect balance. I will definitely be back for a brunch. Those options look great too. Highly recommended. The young team are amazing. It’s so nice to see so much passion. ”
