Demo - Padaria Urbana — Restaurant in Faro

I would never think that I will write a bad review on my holidays but this places deserves my attention. I ordered one coffee with no foam. I asked waitress if she can do so - coffee with no foam on top, just to make it wet she anwsered no problem. I wanted to pay by card but I been told card payments above 5euro so I said no problem and I gave 10euro this is the only money I had on me. Then waitress anwsered - I don't have change for that. I work in hospitality and if I don't have change I simply go to another shop and I ask for it. So instead of paying 2euro I was forced to pay 2.50. forget that 50 cents.. but at least meybe offer me bigger coffee or anything? Or at least with your customer service apologise nicely. But none of this happened. Then I was waiting for my coffee 35minutes!!! After 30 I started to be inpatient and I asked how long I need to wait. I got aneser 5 more minutes... Maybe the blasting rock music was distracting people working there but they didn't make my coffee right. When I brought it back I got exactly same one... Half of cup full of foam... Not even a apology for long waiting time. What an awful morning. Just go opposite instead. I went there straight after and had such a pleasant experience.

Edit. To addition forgot to mention that people who came literally one minute after me got them food (pancakes) same time as my coffee. And we all know to make pancakes you need some time, but coffee takes literally few seconds to prepare. Then one of friends of waitress came and he got served straight away! After one minute he was already leaving with his order for...

Absolute Rip-Off

Let me tell you about this breakfast fiasco in Faro, Portugal. I ordered their "Cocorico Panini" and got a slap in the face instead of a meal. It was all bread, no substance - calling it a chicken and mozzarella panini is a joke. The few scraps of chicken and cheese they bothered to include looked like they were salvaged from the bottom of a bargain bin.

Not giving up, I went for the "Atlantico Toast," expecting at least a decent tuna spread. What I got was an insult: a laughable dab of tuna on one half, while the other half was just bare, toasted despair. I've never felt more cheated and utterly swindled in my life.

Shelling out nearly €20 for this travesty was the icing on this disaster cake. I left hungrier than I came, fuming over the money wasted on what was essentially a breakfast scam. And the stench of burnt oil from the tuna toast? The cherry on top of this mess.

Avoid this place like the plague. Faro’s got plenty of gems, and this ain’t one of them. Save your money and your morning from this total joke of...

If regret has a flavour, it’d be served here…

Let’s start with the coffee, if you can even call it that. It had the flavour of a soggy napkin, with melted ice cubes and bits floating in it. Worst coffee in Faro - has to be

Now, the smoothies. Oh dear. These were advertised as “fresh,” which I assume means “fresh from the freezer, circa 1998.” Disgusting. The texture? Gritty. The taste? Chemically. And then I went into the cafe I saw powder packets behind the till. We questioned the freshness. The staff didn’t care.

The ambiance was… non-existent. The staff were standing around staring at you eat, as if offended you’re taking so long. They clearly wanted us to leave so they could close up.

If short, avoid at all costs. Unless you’re writing an essay on how not to run a café -then, by all means,...
