Acento Coffee

Acento sits on a quiet stretch of Avenida Casal Ribeiro near Saldanha, in a renovated building whose tall arched windows give the facade a little theatre, with pops of orange set against a calm, minimalist interior. It is a neighbourhood corner where coffee and natural wine share the same counter, and where the community gathers for guest chef pop ups and social runs.

The beans rotate through independent Portuguese roasters such as 7g Roaster and Senzu, poured as a batch brew with tasting notes, as espresso on a La Marzocco Linea S, or by V60, Aeropress and Chemex. Local natural wines line the shelves to take home, and bags from the roasters of the moment sit beside them.
