Friends Market

Visited for the first time today. The owner Manuel is 104 years old and still sits behind the counter, sharp as a tack. We spoke for 20 minutes. What a fascinating guy.

If you are looking for Portuguese staples, this is a good place to go. It's not fancy and is the last of its kind that I know of. The owners have been there for 56 years and is in his 90s. I would say not much has changed, but I am ok with that. The owner can tell you about the foods he sells and is from the old country. They have spices and lots of beans and things you cannot find easily. As the other review says, but local!

Very interesting store and had a great conversation with Pedro. He is closing the store so go there soon for very cool soaps, tea etc at great prices.

The owner is 102 years-old with sharp-mind, and still sat behind the counter...

Beans and oil. No bread. No refrigeration section. Dodgy meat counter.

Manuel is a national treasure. Go support this store
