We had such a great time at Midnight Espresso. The drinks were absolutely amazing, super well-made and full of flavor, and the desserts were just as good. Honestly, everything we tried was a hit. The vibe of the place is really charming and welcoming. The bartender was going nonstop, shaking up drinks the whole night, and every single one was spot on. You could tell he really knows what he’s doing. Also, the hostess was fantastic. She was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in just enough to make us feel really well taken care of. All around, it was such a good experience. If you’re in Lisbon, make this a stop. You won’t regret it.

The Midnight Espresso is not just a cafe — it’s a journey. Feels like stepping onto a stylish night train: intimate lights, perfect music and a space full of detail and soul. Tânia and André built something rare - delicious desserts & cocktails with personality, a vibe that’s effortless, and an atmosphere that could belong in Berlin or Shanghai. But it’s here, in Lisbon. And it’s unmissable.
