Walking through the streets of the city, the countless bakeries and caf\u00e9s in Porto immediately catch the eye. Most of them are quite small shops with a few seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The offers range from stylish caf\u00e9s in Porto in busy tourist streets to small shops in the quiet areas where you almost only meet the city’s residents. For the prices, the location in particular has a big influence, the goods are often relatively identical. So if you want to save a little money and experience the local feeling, you should take a look in the side streets and discover Porto’s caf\u00e9s there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tried both – stylish and touristy on the way to the city tour and “local” near our holiday flat. We could only communicate with hands and feet, but we were more than warmly welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast at the caf\u00e9 around the corner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fridge was empty, the coffee finished and we wanted to have a quick breakfast before a longer trip. On our way to the metro in the Lapa district, we passed several bakeries and caf\u00e9s that had been completely spared the tourist crowds. We decided on “A Africana”, one of the many small caf\u00e9s in Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order was placed at the counter with hands and feet – no one spoke English here and we don’t speak Portuguese. Since there were no signs on the pastries at the counter, we could only make our choice by looking at the shape of the pastry. Ordering coffee, on the other hand, is always quite easy – Americano usually works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
