Aaaaaaaages ago I wrote an article about the best caf\u00e9s in Porto<\/a> to work from, but I realised it was missing something for the hipster, snobbish coffee lovers among my readers. That would be you, of course. So here it is: a list of the best Specialty Coffee Shops in Porto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Specialty Coffee Shops in Porto owned by coffee roasters<\/em>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Combi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Combi was the first specialty coffee shop in Porto where I got a proper introduction to coffee – after all, it is located in the trendy Bonfim neighborhood<\/a>, where I am from. The owners, Gon\u00e7alo and Francisco, are passionate about coffee and Gon\u00e7alo in particular has an eye for design, which is why Combi is such a nice looking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There, you will find single origin coffee from South & Central America as well as from African countries and you can choose your extraction method (French Press, Aeropress, V60 and Cold Brew). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combi also sells natural juices and a few cakes, but they could have a wider variety of food during the day, to accommodate different meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get there: the subway station 24 de Agosto is a 2 minutes walking distance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Coffee Roasters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So Coffee Roasters is the newest addition to this list of the best specialty coffee shops in Porto. Tucked in a small shop on a discrete street, you can easily miss the spot – but it would be a pity because So Coffee Roasters is specialised in small scale producers that make their coffee in high altitude, resulting in lower caffeine coffees (which I really like). They are super nice and able to explain you everything about their coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Coffee Roasters also serves great sandwiches and toasts (I love the turkey and pickles’ one), smotthies and bowls (including overnight oats, which is rare to find!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get there: the subway station Aliados is a 5 minutes walking distance.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7g Roaster is, among these specialty coffee shops in Porto, the place where I hang out the most because they have by far the best food (and yes, for me coffee rhymes with pancakes, specially on Sunday mornings). Their food menu is extensive, but why would you even bother to read it when I am telling you that they have CARAMEL. AND APPLE. PANCAKES! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is one of the best brunch places in town<\/a>. But more importantly, 7g Roaster has an array of coffee drinks made from Espresso, Filter coffee (Chemex, V60, Kalita etc) and Cold extraction. You can also order a batch brew from 2\u20ac, a bargain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get there: 7g Roaster is not accessible by car nor by subway, but it is a street away from Gaia’s cable car<\/a>, that departures from Jardim do Morro’s subway station.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

C’alma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Rua de Passos Manuel, 44 | Porto<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

C’alma is a small caf\u00e9 with a very hipster vibe, where you go especially – and almost exclusively – for coffee. They actually prefer to call themselves a “Brew Bar” where, besides the traditional coffee drinks, you can order a:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
