Café of the Week: Café Mané in Albufeira

Although the main summer season is coming to an end, there is still time to visit. Last year, the café closed from mid-November until March, so if you’ve been meaning to try it, now could be a good opportunity.

The menu includes toasts, bagels, pancakes and healthy bowls, giving you plenty to choose from for breakfast, brunch or a light lunch. The café also highlights its Turkish eggs and fluffy pancakes, alongside homemade lemonade, iced tea and fresh smoothies. Its coffee is made with ethically sourced Arabica beans.

What really catches your eye is the presentation. The dishes are colourful and carefully arranged, making you want to have a look at what everyone else has ordered. There are also smoothies, matcha and speciality coffee if you’re stopping for a drink.

Inside, the space feels trendy but comfortable, with large windows looking onto the street. You can watch people passing while enjoying your coffee, or choose one of the seats outside. It’s a small venue, but the friendly, attentive staff help make it feel especially welcoming.

For us, it’s another lovely reason to spend a morning wandering around Albufeira’s Old Town.
