About us
More than coffee — it's Morabeza.
The name
Morabeza is a Cape Verdean Creole word, and it does not translate cleanly into any other language. The closest anyone gets is the art of welcome — a warmth so complete that a stranger leaves feeling like family. It is why the place is called what it is called, and it is printed on the boards for anyone who wants to know what they have walked into.
Sabores que acolhem, momentos que ficam.
The coffee
An espresso pulled short and hot. A galão in the morning, a flat white in the afternoon, a mocha when it is cold outside. Every one of them in the black house cup — because how a coffee arrives is part of the coffee.
From our roots to your cups
The kitchen
On one side of the board: the full English, the bacon bap, beans on toast. On the other: meia tosta with butter, toasties, a bifana in a papo-seco, francesinha, bacalhau à lagareiro, octopus, picanha, pastel de nata, bolo de bolacha and pudim. Leeds and Portugal, ordered from the same till.
Feito com carinho para si!
Also from Ady
Portuguese, Brazilian and African grocery. The shelves that stock the café — bacalhau, Delta coffee, Compal, Sumol, pastéis de nata — a short walk from the same counter.
Made with love, served with care
