My Coffee Porto is a specialty coffee haven tucked away on Escadas do Codeçal, a staircase street in the heart of Porto's UNESCO-listed Ribeira district. The cafe's intimate size and minimalist decor create a warm, inviting space where the focus is squarely on the coffee. They source single-origin beans from small producers and roast them in-house, offering a rotating selection of espresso-based drinks, pour-overs, and cold brews. The baristas are passionate and knowledgeable, happy to explain the origins and flavor notes. Beyond coffee, they serve light pastries and cakes, often pairing perfectly with a flat white. The cafe's location on a quiet stairway offers a respite from the tourist crowds, with a few outdoor seats perfect for people-watching. Its dedication to quality and community has earned it a loyal following among locals and visitors alike.
