18 Best Cafes in Ponta Delgada

“This place was great. Had several hours to kill before our flight out. Stashed our bags at the Hotel and wondered downtown. Stopped here based on its rating. Enjoyed the food (thumbs up on the fish & chips), lemonade was great. Was nice to sit and chill. Wi-Fi was great. Good bar. Staff is very friendly.“

“Excellent in everything. The Egg Benedict was the best I've ever tasted! The Louvre chocolate cake is delicious. Lunch included very tasty starters, and the service was incredible, especially from the kind manager. I highly recommend it!“

“Real local genuine atmosphere with local stangastas, cheap beer and in the heart of Ponta Delgado. After a whole day of driving around the island, this is a well-deserved relaxation in the evening after dinner. If you're looking for luxury, you won't find it here.“

“We are visiting Sao Miguel from New York and stopped for lunch. We did not have any alcohol but it is evident this place has everything. The food was great- we had one order of steak and fries and one cheese omelet with fries. The steak was a thin piece, but very tasty and the omelet was very good. The fries were warm and crispy. BUT the pineapple gelato was absolutely to die for!!! Certain the best ice cream we ever had. I was told it’s home-made and that seems certain. And the bill for all the food, 2 sodas, and some good chicken soup was 21 Euros. Astounding. Very highly recommend!!“

“The clients are islanders, you don't find tourists and don't expect a five-star hotel, it's very small.The waiter is very nice and tries to help us with everything, giving us information about the island and what we should visitSpectacular coffee!!I recommend it without a doubt“

“I was here on the night of August 3, 2024. It will be remembered for FCPORTO's great victory over SPORTING 4-3, after a 0-3 comeback.
We drank some beautiful imperials, always served with kindness, by our friend from CUM, a sporting fan, and with whom we made a bet, if PORTO won, we bought two official CUM shirts. Result, we have two CUM t-shirts at home, and with great pleasure.
Fairplay from start to finish.
Well done.“

“(Translated by Google) Very tasty place! The food was delicious and the girls are super friendly. It is definitely a place that I will return to the next time I come to the island.(Original)Lugar muito gostoso! A comida estava deliciosa e as meninas são super simpáticas. Com certeza é um lugar que eu voltarei nas próximas vezes que vier à ilha“

“Very nice staff, standing in the entrance and looking for a seat, a nice older lady approached us and despite the language barrier (she spoke little English) quickly solved the problem with a table for 4 people on the nice outdoor terrace. We ate delicious burgers and salads, drank delicious lemonade with a hint of cinnamon and got aromatic and tasty coffee. We recommend it wholeheartedly “

“This place was recommanded to us by our taxi driver. The omelette portion was massive, we could barely finish our plate, good value for the money. Good omelettes, good fries, good coffee. The place offers wifi. The staff was efficient. Lots of space to sit outside, but a bit crammed inside. The place is just ok! We enjoyed our meal but would not go back.“

“The Restaurant surprised us positively.Very tasty food and reasonable value considering the quality/price.It was not an option considering the classification.Yet another proof that we shouldn’t always be guided by classification.We really enjoyed it and Phillipe was super friendly.To repeat on your next visit to the Azores ?“

“Arrived to Ponta Delgada on a red eye flight. Came into the main city to kill off some time before our hotel check in and ran across Bagga by chance because we just wanted a place to sit down have a snack and get some coffee. Amazed by how quick and cheap our breakfast came out to be- we had an fresh squeezed orange juice, 2 espressos, a tart and a croissant and it came out to be less than 5 euros. No bathroom inside, bathroom is in the grocery store next door.“

“Great little restaurant, I went back there because I loved it so much. It’s a very family atmosphere, many regulars come back very often. The waitress takes great care, you can tell she loves her job.
The food is simple but homemade and really very good, delicious pizzas.

Vegetarian options: Many salads, meatless pastas

Kid-friendliness: Portions for children, reception“

“If you like to go to local places go here. We had lovely coffee at the back of the shop. There are blue and white tiles which tell the history of the cafe and definitely go around the back to see the tiled walls. Owner was great on pointing out the history.“

“It was honestly very good. We went there for lunch and brunch, and the food was good. On the other hand, the service is of poor quality. Every time the waiters forget things and you have to ask for them.
Special mention to the pasteis de nata which are incredible! The ones with pineapple and passion fruit are worth the detour!“

“It's a regular português cafe that servers simpel foods! Like bitoque and prego and bifana.
The service was great!! The food tasted good too! I got 2 bifanas e 2 prego. And it tasted just like the good old times.
Prices are good! Cheap!

Loved it!“

“I loved the style of the cafe, really clean and modern style.

The coffee and ice-cream were really nice. They also had decaf coffee.

I also had the carrot cake which was nice but for my taste was lacking a bit of fluffiness and spice. The cream cheese frosting was delicious.

The service was friendly.“

“A lot of lack of organization, there is a popular saying that goes as follows: “the more cats, the more rats”. The pastry shop, from 0 to 10, I give an 11 very good cakes, the bread is also very good, but the lack of organization and waiting time for simple things means that what is good doesn't matter at all.“

“So lovely to visit this beautifully curated space. The food is fresh and flavourful and the staff are so lovely and chill. I highly recommend and make sure you bring your chill vibes too, this place is fantastic for you to slow down and enjoy your meal.“
