Coffees
The coffee lab next to Praça das Flores has a distinct focus on quality coffees including different filter coffees as well as a variety of coffees with milk. All coffees are brewed with hand-roasted beans from the micro-roastery that is situated at the heart of Copenhagen and then shipped to Lisbon on a monthly basis to ensure recent roasting dates.
Foods
The coffee lab also makes its own foods focusing on a Nordic twist in their recipes to provide alternatives for both sweets and savory snack options in Lisbon. The foods range from pastries and cakes, such as their Danish cinnamon buns, to snacks for lunch that include several healthy options.
