SO Coffee Roasters

If you don’t expect much from a coffee corner in a designer apparel store, you’re in for a surprise. This is a really high-end coffee shop. They usually have high-quality traditional profiles in batch brew and something really interesting for pourover. For my visit, Kenya (batch) was immaculate, just like a can of blackberry jam. I haven’t tried a Kenyan coffee this good in a long while, and this summer I had one that april in Copenhagen called “the best Kenya we ever roasted”. Experimental Colombian Papayo varietal was super interesting. When the barista brought it to my table, I had to look around to check if anyone was trying perfume behind me. The description was “grape juice” and it was exactly that, or maybe grape flavoured bubble gum. Exciting. And also really cheap, too: 3 euro batch a d 5.5 hand brew. Coffee like this easily costs twice as much anywhere else.

This coffee shop is tucked inside a fashion boutique, making it a unique and cozy place for a short break. I had an iced latte and my friend tried the matcha – both were delicious. Keep in mind, it’s more of a fashion store with a coffee corner than a full café, so there’s no toilet or much comfort. But if you’re looking for a fashionable, quiet spot to enjoy a good coffee and a quick chat, this is a great find.

We had a flat white here, and it did not disappoint... Their coffee is flavourful and rich, and then flat white was perfect. Bruna is a great barista 👏🏼

The madness of Lisbon…Ordering a flat white which only comes in large as per the menu and receiving 100ml of coffee and being charged 4.40 (50 cent for oat milk). When asking why it’s so small when it’s meant to be large - work person says she’s worked there 3 years and no one has ever complained (not sure asking whether this is a large is actually a complaint). So I say I’ve lived here for many years and never had a flat white this small to which she replies by rolling her eyes and saying sarcastically ‘and you don’t speak Portuguese, wow how terrible’. To which I tell her she’s being xenophobic at best, racist at worst. Well wasn’t that a nice start to my day! NOT Terrible, nasty woman who jumps on the defensive/attack when asked a simple question and also has no problem making customers wait while she chats with a friend.

SO Coffee Shop is a very small place nestled within a clothing store, with only four tables to sit. The barista really knows her stuff and was very friendly. The coffee quality is excellent; we had a latte and an espresso, both of which were outstanding. The only downside is that the music is a bit loud.

Nice little coffee shop that was recommended to us. As is pretty common in Europe they did not have decaf (which my wife drinks). The coffee was good and the pastel da nata was fresh and tasty. It shares space with an apparel store so the ambiance is a bit weird.

Amazing coffee, cool vibes, great way to start the day.

We had very nice coffee today. The espresso was so nice. Also, the v60 was so delicious
