Great views for a stop by. Overall the town it's not for me but never less if you there worth a stop. Seems to be a nice river beach looks nice at the bottom

The location is breathtaking, the owner is extremely nice, and the pastries are fresh.

I got black coffee, toast and then a 'Nevada', an iced cake. All enjoyed whilst being able to enjoy the view and then work due to the WiFi. One of the best places in Penacova to enjoy the view over the Mondego River. I've been coming here for 20 years and nothing changes. In the best way.

Visited twice. (Had to go back a second day because we thought we had been UNDERCHARGED on the first visit!) Prices were LOOOOOOOOW. Coffee, pastries, cakes, etc, all excellent. Service was a little slow, but the quality more than compensated for the wait. The lovely view was for free, but they could easily charge for it. Well worth the cycle up to it, but be careful to go left at the roundabout, or you'll end up with a double climb!
