The Folks Сhiado - Specialty Coffee, Breakfast & Brunch

AMAZING BRUNCH PRO I never have been to a better Brunch place. Coffee is well done and with special options. Food has a lot of layers and is made with passion. All three dishes were well balanced and so yummy. Definitely worth every Cent. Staff is working well together. CON Lipstick on the coffee cup. Please clean more carefully in future!

Went here 2x during our trip and had good experiences! It has a fully halal menu so def a plus. I especially loved their caesar salad with chicken. They have a cool interior as well. but the music is a bit loud for breakfast. Overall I recommend!

Highly recommend! Good music, good vibe, good food! Got here at 6pm, ordered turkey breast Benedict and a coconut water with matcha foam which is recommended by the nice guy! Turns out he has good taste hahah the drink is soooo good. May come back again this week if possible to try some other goodies!

The people here aren’t too attentive but our food came out fairly fast. The food itself had amazing presentation and the taste was very good. The coffee had an unique taste, not something I would get again but overall good experience here!

A charming café with a great breakfast menu. We ordered a pour-over coffee and the Syrniki cottage cheese pancakes. The pancakes were creamy and satisfying. A solid spot for good coffee and a comforting breakfast.

3,8/5 The Folks is a small breakfast spot tucked into the heart of Lisbon. The service is friendly, the dishes arrive promptly and yet, something’s missing. It’s not that the food isn’t good; it’s simply… fine. Competent. But in a city that hums with cafés serving character and soul on every plate, mere competence feels like a missed opportunity. At these prices, breakfast deserves a little more than just “fine.”

Food was so good. I had the raspberry pancakes and it was so nice, fluffy, not too sweet, just perfect. My partner had the truffle eggs Benedict and I managed to steal one bite because it was so good they didn’t initially want to share 😆. It was really good, nice truffle flavor, great bread and eggs perfectly cooked. Also the tiramisu coffee was sooo yummy. The vibe is nice, not too loud. I highly recommend.

Amazing brunch spot, a must go if you’re visiting Lisbon. The food and drink did not disappoint. Stunning aesthetic with great music! Wonderful service from Pablo, super attentive and a lovely person who made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back here.

Went twice while on my trip. the first time I tried the coconut flat white & the second time I got a pistachio latte both really good quality coffee, and not too sweet. I also ordered the turkey focaccia sandwich with a side of fries and it was exceptional. The focaccia was super fresh and so was everything inside of the sandwich; the fries came out piping hot. My friend got the pancakes with maple syrup and butter, a side of eggs for one euro, but they made like four eggs so definitely worth it. It has plenty of tables for two people. They can combine other tables for bigger groups, but it seems like it's consistently busy with low wait times. Slow but good service.

My Turkish eggs hit the spot after eating pasteis de natas for breakfast five days in a row. A generous portion of creamy yogurt, a couple of nicely poached eggs and a splash of hot sauce was the perfect combo to slather atop the crusty bread. My chai latte was bomb too! My fiancé enjoyed his hearty salmon Benedict, which was made with brioche bread instead of the regular English muffin we're accustomed to. The cardamom bun we would probably skip. It was dense and not very cardamom forward. Our server was great and I give her kudos for her handling of the table next to us which was so ridiculous with their questions/demands/requests even my usually oblivious partner commented about them.

We tried the mushroom and salmon toasts and the syrniki (ukranian pancakes). The brioche toasts were very fluffy and the food was all really flavorful. Nice ambiance and service was good too

The Folks is yet another lovely café in Lisbon! They have multiple locations and the service was great! The location we went to had a huge patio space that was perfect for breakfast! I got the avocado toast and lemonade and both were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend

- [ ] I visited The Folks on a Wednesday around 11 am. I had first walked over to their other location, but the kitchen there was closed for renovations so they recommended I head to this one instead if I wanted to order a dish. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but I only waited about 20 minutes to be seated. The interior had a cool design & a lively, social atmosphere--perfect for brunch with friends. I ordered their syrniki. The presentation was stunning & the dish itself was delicious. I loved the mango twist they added to the classic recipe. They also have a great selection of specialty coffees--I unfortunately didn't order one this time. I'd definitely love to visit again to try more of their dishes & drinks!

Would love to come back to The Folks! The line to dine in was long but I got a Tiramisu latte to go and it was delicious! I'm not normally a coffee drinker but the sweetness of this latte was just right and gave me a perfect pick me up on the walk toward Alfama. The restaurant is in a cute alleyway and the seating is gorgeous, I would love to come back one day and try the food!

We had just gotten off the plane, and were in need of caffeine and a bite of food. The Folks was an excellent choice for both. This little spot is surprisingly small, and punches way above its weight in the quality of its food. They clearly take their coffee program seriously as well, and all the addicts with me were extremely pleased with their choices (I don't drink coffee). I knew the day was going to be long and full of rich food, so I ordered the greek yogurt with caramelized banana and fresh berries. Around the table, there were some benedicts chosen, an avocado toast, and the turkish eggs. Every single dish was beautiful and tasty. It's a coffeeshop, but back in the kitchen they are taking the time and care to take food from simple to excellent. Someone blowtorched my banana for gods' sakes. If I wasn't on vacation and into exploring the rest of the city, I would've gladly eaten here a couple more times.

This cafe has a super fun interior space to enjoy your coffee and share lunch. The focaccia sandwich had fresh ingredients and soft, seasoned focaccia holding it all together. The coconut flat white had a good taste but unfortunately had quite a bit of grittiness (coffee grounds? powdered coconut?) that made it hard to drink.

Delicious food and great service. Charming alley that is busy and with a good vibe but not overly crowded Had a huge turkey focaccia big enough for four! And also shared beetroot goats cheese salad. Delicious carrot cake to finish and excellent coffee. Very happy and sated.

My friend and I loved this brunch spot, but we did not have a good experience with the service. The server sat us and did not return with menus, after 20 minutes we had to walk up the counter and get menus for ourselves even after seeing her sit multiple other parties with menus. Other than the service the food was delicious and very beautifully plated.

We got the Lavender & Rose latte, as well as the Coconut Oat latte, and both were exceptional. Cute spot! Tight space, nice people, would come back.

Smallish brunch place in the historic center of Lisboa. Outstanding food. I had the salmon Benedict and it was perhaps the best ever. Incredible quality
