Café com uma excelente esplanada fantástica, com boa exposição solar mas onde não falta sombra. Também servem hambúrgueres de excelente qualidade, com destaque para o hambúrguer especial. Dispõe de um brunch muito bom e com um preço justo, boa variedade e suficiente para duas pessoas.

Cafetaria conjunta com o Exploratório da Ciência Viva. O local tem uma decoração simples e moderna e a esplanada é ampla com uma boa sombra. Tem alguns bolos e sumos do dia e ambos são bons. De destacar a ampla oferta de chás para os seus clientes. Numa tarde de calor sabe bem estar aqui a ler um livro.

Excelente café para comer uma salada num dia de verão com amigos ou família. Igualmente bom para passar e apenas beber um café na esplanada. Num local privilegiado por estar tão perto do parque verde e inserido no Exploratório. Bons hambúrgueres e saladas, aconselho! Também costumam ter bons sumos do dia para juntar à festa.
