Serving Suggestions

In Portugal, coffee is a ritual. Sical Café is traditionally enjoyed as a short, strong espresso or combined with equal parts steamed milk as a meia de leite. Pair it with a Pastel de Nata — the classic Portuguese custard tart — for an authentic café experience. Morning coffee pairs beautifully with Pão de Queijo (cheese bread) or light pastries. In Portuguese cafés, coffee is traditionally served with a glass of water and a small sweet treat on the side. Create your own café atmosphere at home by taking time to savor each cup.
