Our go-to breakfast spot in the Algarve that we just kept coming back to, because the breakfast is just that good. There’s a great variety of options, from croissants, to delicious grilled cheeses. and you can really taste the freshness in everything, especially the OJ!

Ive been in Portugal now a decade…. And I only really like brown sugar, especially in my coffee and tea. Well after 10 years of being in Portugal, today was the first time in any café, bar or restaurant that they have EVER had brown sugar sachets… Wow I thought I was back in South Africa ???????? for a second.. I actually forgot that they ONLY serve white sugar here, exclusively. Nice Apolonia, besides having really good coffee shops and service….
