The Folks Сhiado - Specialty Coffee, Breakfast & Brunch

The food here is delicious, I highly recommend coming here for brunch. The portions are great and hearty. The scrambled eggs were amazing! The staff are super friendly, they made sure we waited under shade as it was busy that day then called us once a table was free. Good coffees and great vibes.

Wonderful people, good coffee! It is a very popular spot and really busy, so we decided not to take brunch here at the time. Just a coffee. It was nicely made and everything there was very kind. In my hurry to leave, I accidentally forget a toy that I had brought, and was many blocks away when I remembered leaving it on the bench inside the packed café. In other places and other cities, that would have meant it was almost certainly stolen right away. But the employees there took it, and put it aside safely. When I came back, it was right there waiting and I thank them so much for that! Truly nice folks!

Excellent truffle mushroom Benedict & pistachio latte! With real ingredients. Service staff was nice to let me try the latte and inform her in case it was too sweet, as I had requested for less sweet. Only thing it is quite small so queues are long

We loved the place!!! The most amazing part is that they have halal options!!!!! We ordered the eggs Benedict with turkey, it was so clean and tasty, the turkey focaccia sandwich was very delicious, the matcha latte was very nice and the orange juice as well.. we also got the pancake raspberries and it wasn’t too sweet, just the perfect amount, definitely recommended, also the service is great and quick :)

We got a latte and the coffee sampler, pretty presentation and delicious. The salmons Benedict and roast beef sandwich were both filling and very fresh. The avocado toast had a lot of green. Our server Pablo was very friendly and attentive as well. Overall great experience

The Folks is a great spot to kickstart your day. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly and attentive staff who make you feel welcome right away. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a nice overall vibe that works well for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. The food here is genuinely good — fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions that will definitely keep you full for hours. What really stood out for me was their specialty coffee. It’s clear they take it seriously, offering a variety of quality beans and brewing them to perfection, which is a real treat for coffee lovers. If I had to point out one small thing, it would be the morning music choice — rap music blasting at breakfast time might not be everyone’s cup of tea (or coffee), and I personally would have preferred something softer to match the morning mood. That said, it didn’t overshadow the overall experience. All in all, The Folks is a solid choice for a hearty breakfast, great coffee, and a friendly start to your day.

Superb breakfast food and coffee options. When we went there was a line every day;however, they are organized enough and if there is room, they will let the people in the front of the line to go in and sit by a small waiting area until your table is ready. The wait time was around 10-15 minutes. I had the poached eggs with Greek yogurt and that was my favorite along with the pistachio coffee. I would t recommend large groups of more than 6, as you may have to wait longer at this smaller space restaurant. The staff is quiet, calm, but very efficient. I recommend this place for breakfast!

I'm so excited to share my amazing cafe experience! 🤩 The specialty coffee was incredible, perfectly brewed and so flavorful.☕️ And the food? Absolutely delicious! I tried the syrniki and roast beef toast, both were phenomenal. Definitely a must-try if you're looking for a delightful cafe experience. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. The staff are also Incredible, so friendly, helpful and very welcoming

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.

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.

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
