Nearly €15 for two eggs with chewy bread and a truck-stop coffee (extra 1€ for ice lol), all in a tacky, pretentious place decorated with the usual shabby “specialty café” minimalism. I support expensive, but not rip-offs 🥶 Service was good tho! The water glass (well maybe “water shot”) they give you could be drunk by a bug in a single sip. Guess tap water is crazy expensive in this city.

I don’t understand any of the negative comments, because we had the best food experience ever. Everything that we ate was 10/10, very fresh, very unique. If you love veggies or more unique flavours this place is for you. Also, the banana bread was out of this world, verrrrry delicious and unusual. Stuff was also super friendly and the chefs very professional (its an open kitchen concept) 💌

Early Cedofeita is the kind of place that makes you smile the moment you walk in. The space is warm, stylish, and full of charm, with an artistic touch that perfectly matches the vibe of the street. Their brunch menu is a masterpiece — from impossibly fluffy pancakes to perfectly cooked eggs, and then that bread. Oh, the bread… fresh, crusty on the outside, soft and airy on the inside — the kind that makes you rethink every other loaf you’ve ever eaten. Honestly, it could be a star dish all on its own. The coffee? Strong, smooth, and served with genuine friendliness, making the whole experience feel like a warm hug. And then, as if this wasn’t enough, the same space transforms at night into Later — serving nothing less than the best pizzas in Porto. We’re talking light, airy dough, premium ingredients, and flavor combinations so good they make you close your eyes and savour every bite. Every cent spent here is an investment in happiness. A place that starts your day like a dream and ends it like a celebration — pure culinary magic.
