Average food - Edit
As a Portuguese, I felt that tourists were treated differently (better somehow)... So I didn't like that. Also I found the food to be just fine, nothing special and the menu very small. It's a pity because the place itself has potential.

Disappointed - Edit
I was expecting more after reading the reviews. Did not really feel welcome by the staff and food was just average.

Must go while in Faro! - Edit
The food here was excellent. We had a wrap and couscous bowl. Each were well made with quality ingredients. I was able to get a big cup of herbal tea and we finished with the chocolate cake. Great service despite being very busy. My husband who is not vegan, thoroughly enjoyed his meal and would love to return.

Beautiful food! - Edit
I spent 4 nights in faro recently and after the first time I went to this cafe I had to return! I ordered the burger with chips and salad on the two occasions both times were delicious as well as their chocolate and carrot cake! I will return again in the future 🌱

Great service and delicious food - Edit
It was my birthday, so we decided to stop by for a vegan cake “unfortunately” they were sold out, which was to our favour, because the chef offered to make me a pancake instead. And lucky me - it was the most delicious pancake with Nutella-like filling, berries and whipped cream! Yummy! They made me feel special on my birthday and for that I am very grateful 💚

Schöne Überraschung - Edit
Wir sind für einen kleinen Ausflug in Faro gewesen, ohne richtigen Plan. Beim Spazieren sind wir über dieses kleine Café-Restaurant gestolpert. Wir wurden direkt sehr freundlich begrüßt und gefragt, ob wir etwas trinken, essen möchten oder nur gucken. Scheinbar kommen hier auch welche her, um Fotos zu machen und gehen wieder. Es ist auch wirklich schön dort! Dennoch sollte man sich einen Kuchen, oder die Tagessuppe nicht entgehen lassen! Sehr sehr lecker und wir haben uns super wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Auch unsere zwei großen Hunde wurden herzlichst begrüßt und ihnen wurde auch direkt Wasser bereitgestellt. 🥰

Good homemade food and desserts - Edit
I arrived not long before closing time on Saturday, had time for a bowl of chili, rice and salad, a glass of lemonade, and I took away a wrap and a piece of lemon cake. Pleasant breeze coming into the window-side table indoors, and there are tables outside also, facing the fountain. Good food, pleasant service. The wrap, later, was very good, with smoked tofu and lots of vegetables. I enjoyed the two-layer cake.

Mel’s burger was the standout - Edit
Ordered Mel’s burger and the Mediterranean wrap. The burger was so tasty but the wrap was average. There was lots of things not available on the menu which was disappointing

Characteristic cafe situated in a gorgeous area - Edit
Cute little cafe, that has some really nice healthy dishes. We had the falafel and cheese burger. Tasted fresh, full of flavour and couldn't help but think we definitely must come back to try the deserts. Which I think if we had spade we would have done.
