We visited Praia for a week and had breakfast at this nearby cafe almost each morning. Service was excellent and by our third visit the staff welcomed us like we were family and would immediately bring us our usual morning tea. It was a casual, family atmosphere that was consistently busy however one never felt rushed by staff. We’d have breakfast at the outdoor seating area as we planned our day. Hearty breakfast like Cabo Verde traditional Cachupa to veggie omelets are options. Portion sizes were generous as well.
