As a tourist, I was recommended to visit Lifecafe Sacavém by a friend who promised that they could make a beautiful double-colour coffee, and that the food was delicious too. I was so excited to try it, and it completely exceeded my expectations!
I ordered a double-colour cappuccino, and Diego, the bartender, made a muito bonita one! It was so beautifully presented that I almost felt 'sad' to mix it, as it would ruin the artwork. But, of course, I had to drink it! Haha. And the taste... wow. As a coffee lover, this is easily one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had.
After being amazed by the coffee, I was eager to try the food as well. I spotted 'Toast Perfect Match' on the menu, and thought it would pair perfectly with my cappuccino, so I decided to give it a try.
Anastasia, who handled my order, asked if I wanted the dish to be more flavourful or traditional Portuguese. She was very thoughtful and noticed that I’m a foreigner, so she probably thought it would be nice to customize the flavor of the food to suit my taste.
Since I'm from Asia, I chose the more flavourful option, and I’m so glad I did! The dish was absolutely delicious. The flavours were perfectly absorbed into the frango (chicken), and it was tender and soft, unlike some other places where the flavour doesn't penetrate and the chicken is hard. Clearly, Lifecafe Sacavém has expert chefs.
The prices are also very reasonable for such quality food and drinks. It’s an excellent value for the experience.
I’ll definitely be back. Highly...
Read moreIt’s a great place for a weekend brunch.
The highlight for me are drinks that brought up some cozy vibe to the rest of the meal. I had chance to try a few positions from the menu and my favorite option is just ordering croissant with extras (salmon and scrambled eggs). I also added guacamole and wish the portion of it was a little bigger. Dessert selection is good, especially for people that enjoy pancakes. At different times I tried anniversary pancake and red velvet, that both look and taste good, however, happens to be quite heavy because of the cream. It’s just a thing you need to keep in mind before ordering them.
Location of the cafe is quite calm and I enjoy that a lot. Service is fairly good and quick. Only thing I’d like to mention, serve of the hot drinks was first and way before our meals had arrived, so drinks were lukewarm by the time we...
Read moreGf and I went there this morning to do some work on our laptops. Which we successfully did. The cafe itself was very cute and had a lively atmosphere. We shared an avocado toast, she had an iced latte, and I had a cappuccino. The coffees were delicious and could tell the batista put a lot of care into his drinks. However the food we had was OK at best. The bread was not toasted, there was small amount of avocado, the egg on the toast was undercooked and the side salad had a weird taste like it had been sitting in a fridge open for too long. For seven euros, it felt very overpriced. All in all, great place for coffee, but food needs some improvement. I would go back for coffee and studying but wouldn't consider this a great spot to eat. We thought that a smaller food menu and some higher quality ingredients would make for great food worth the higher...
