The best Acai bowls. Price reflects wonderful location, high quality fresh ingredients and the best coffee in Portugal. Extremely tasty. Staff are wonderful too.

What an awesome find. As self confessed coffee snobs we always look to find independent coffee shops when away and this was such an incredible place. The açai bowls were to die for. Smoothies were top draw. And the coffee’s were perfect!! Sure to revisit during our stay!!

Delighted to find Lahana, coffee was superb and the prettiest açai bowl I've seen! Tasted as good as it looked too.

Fast service and delicious smoothies. A smoothie was approx 8 euros but the bottle was large so felt this was value for money.
