Very impressed! - Edit
A friend who eats gluten-free was coming to Lisbon, so to prepare for her visit, I went to Despensa to get some goodies for afternoon snacks, as well as breakfasts during her visit.
Read moreI was a kid in a candy shop looking into their display case! I am dairy-allergic, so when it comes to desserts especially, I usually (happily) eat vegan. The many tarts and muffins and chocolate salami found at Despensa all look scrumptious. I bought several. I also bought a loaf of oat bread with pumpkin seeds - I made a sandwich from that - it is on the heavy side, but does not have the grittiness sometimes found in gluten free baked goods, and overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I am looking forward to the lime tart - that will probably be part of my breakfast tomorrow.
Our friend ate a small quiche from there this morning - not vegan I am sure, but it made her gluten-free heart very happy.
Now that I know what a resource this cafe is, I will make it a regular stop on my food shopping trips. It is a little bit outside my usual travels, but close to a green line metro stop, so I will be back!
Pros: Variety of gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan items, Very clean, A light charming pleasing style

Good place for a snack - Edit
Good vegan options here for a snack.
Read moreFrom pastry to raw food, it has a bit of much. The portions for me are just the right size, specially in the raw food.
Do intent to go back and try ou the rest of the options
Shame it does not have a vegan brunch, that would have been fantastic.
Friendly staff and a nice environment. Limited outside seating, may be full since it is in a central location.
Pros: Friendly staff, Good taste in food, Outside seating
Cons: Not all menu section have a vegan option
