01A Mata
café8a Rua Maria AndradeWork 75
If you don't mind a bit of noise you can always go to A Mata, near the intendente metro. I always go there, order a coffee and have an ok place to work.
Se não te importas de ter um pouco de barulho podes sempre ir ao A Mata, ali perto do metro intendente. Sempre vou lá, peço um café e tenho um sítio ok para trabalhar.

café18 Praça das FloresWork 72
So pretty. Like, if you want a brunch-meets-work morning, this is your place. Heads up though: there's a €12 minimum spend, but the food's good and the space is worth it.
