Koyo Speciality Coffees — Restaurant in Aljezur

On our way to the beach we were looking for a good coffee shop. We like to drink good coffee and came across KOYO in this little village. This specialty store I didn't necessarily expect in this small village.

Staff: The first thing I noticed is that they put a person on the coffee, a barista so to speak. This to me does indicate that this is a business that values knowledge and quality. Otherwise, English is spoken well. Staff was friendly.

Food: We had a cappuccino and flat white. There was late art in the cup. And the coffee tasted good. It was also served in a cute porcelain cup.

Interior: It's a bit of a crowded store. They have a counter at the beginning when you come in. There is also a rooster machine, a small sitting area, a work table and another high table. They do try to keep the atmosphere in it. It is made quite cozy. Besides that, there is a nice little garden behind with seating.

Music: There was very relaxing song playing softly in the background. Bit soul coffee fibes style.

All in all definitely a nice surprise in the tour on the way to the beach. For good cup of coffee...

All in all you get very good coffee here with a nice atmosphere. We went 3 times and the coffee quality is certainly very good, it's also fun to watch them making coffee and the roasting preperations. The open style is also very appealing. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that on the 3rd time it was crowded and no place to sit, so we thought we would take away our shots. We were charged 1€ extra so 50 cents per cup for takeaway which is not in relation to cost of a cup and also that day unfortunately the espresso just didn't taste good, so unfortunately that experience literally left a sour taste in my mouth. If it was stated clearly +50cents for takeaway on the price board I would have given 5*, I couldn't see it on...

Was in koyo 2 times during my stay in aljezur. The coffee was good for a small town like aljezur hence the 4 stars. With that being said, both times have i been ignored upon my arival. Barista cant even be bothered to say hi, server working the till avoids u on purpose until its your time to order. I dont mind waiting at all, just say hi when u see someone new coming in. A simple hi and just a minute would do all the trick. I have been working in hospitality and especially in specialty coffee for the past 7 years and greeting the guest and giving them any kind of que is unfortunately also part of the job, not just making coffees. Very...
