Where could I begin in telling you how special Hello, Kristof is? I've only made one visit there, and I know it excels in all the ways a coffee shop should.
They make good coffee (I loved my iced Americano). Their food is quality (the vegan chia pudding was insane, otherwordly, etc.). They foster community through their seating arrangements (a big communal table plus three or four laptop-free tables). They are in tune with what makes a coffee shop aesthetically special (their font choices, use of plants, and selection of playful and indie magazines).
They are artisanal and accessible, allowing anyone (someone quiet/studious, conversational, or both) to reach their food and beverage without possessing an intricate knowledge of coffee. They are in such a snug corner, and I loved their little window seat, too; just the thought of sitting in it and reading makes me happy.
Highly recommend Hello, Kristof for your coffee needs while in Lisbon!
