ABOUT US

It was a sunny morning on July 24, 2019.

And there we were—looking like lost tourists, squinting through Ray-Bans in search of a laundromat. Armed with a few wild ideas and absolutely zero clue about running a café, Neighbourhood Café Lisbon was born.
Born to serve the best specialty coffee and brunch plates in the city of Lisbon.

With builders yelling in Portuguese, we nodded like we understood as they built Lisbon's first:

Neighbourhood Café

After 50 days of hard work and countless testing of specialty coffee, along with organic, Portuguese wines, we finally opened our doors to the community.
A few months later lockdown hit, but thanks to our amazing community we pulled through.

And we can't wait to share what's next.
