  • Booínga Steep Pick
    Matosinhos · Steep Index 8.9/10

    A one-man roastery in Matosinhos where you smell the beans, pick the one you want, and the owner talks you through what happens next.

  • 7g Roaster & Apartments Steep Pick
    Gaia Riverside, Vila Nova de Gaia · Steep Index 8.8/10

    An on-site roaster on a quiet Gaia street, five minutes from the Douro and a long way from the tourist trail. The brunch is the reason people come back. The coffee is why they stay past noon.

  • Dona Mira - Café, Bar e Cultura Steep Pick
    Bonfim · Steep Index 8.5/10

    A Bonfim cafe and bar opened by Brazilian musicians, with photographs of musicians on the walls and a library of about 350 books.

  • Combi Coffee Roasters
    Bonfim · Steep Index 8.4/10

    In-house roasted specialty coffee in a busy Bonfim garage, with a filter programme worth planning your morning around and sandwiches that make you stay for lunch.
