Cafe A Brasileira ★ 4.5
Centro Historico · Largo do Barão de São Martinho 17, 4700-306 Braga
Hours: Daily 07:30-02:00 (April-October); 07:30-00:00 (November-March)
Braga's most storied cafe, opened 17 March 1907 at the corner of Largo do Barão de São Martinho and Rua de São Marcos. The corner painting and on-site coffee.
Tip: Arrive before 10:00 for a quieter seat at the marble counter. The corner terrace fills quickly from midday. The bica here defines the Braga espresso standard.

Praça da República · Praça da República 8-12, 4710-305 Braga
Hours: Monday to Wednesday 10:00-22:30; Thursday to Sunday 10:00-23:00
The 1858 arcade cafe facing Praça da República: the classic Braga brunch is a galão, a conventual pastry and a tosta under the ornate historic canopy.
Tip: The covered arcade tables are sheltered year-round and offer the best people-watching view over the republic square. Arrive by 10:30 at weekends.
Colinatrum Cafe ★ 4.3
Cividade · Rua Damião de Góis 11, 4700-028 Braga
Hours: Sunday to Thursday 08:30-00:30; Friday 08:00-02:00; Saturday 08:30-02:00
Set on the rise between the university and the historic core, Colinatrum offers the best city views from its terrace and an all-day cafe menu for brunch.
Tip: The terrace is the main draw; sit outside for the full cathedral roofline view. Sunset (around 21:00 in summer) is the most coveted time.
Meze Brunch ★ 4.2
Centro Historico · Praça Conde de Agrolongo 71, 4700-312 Braga
Hours: Monday to Sunday 09:30-20:00
Braga's busiest weekend brunch spot next to Campo da Vinha: egg dishes, avocado plates, pancake stacks and a full vegan and gluten-free menu.

Pastelaria Lusitana ★ 4.2
São Lázaro · Rua Dr. Justino Cruz 127, 4700-317 Braga
Hours: Daily 08:00-20:00 (closed 1 January and 25 December)
Founded in 1955, the Lusitana tea room overlooks Jardim de Santa Bárbara: tíbias, bolos de mel and conventual pastries with tea or coffee in a calm setting.

Hours: Monday to Saturday 09:00-22:00; Sunday 10:00-18:00
A vintage-decorated room on Rua do Anjo with family recipes, homemade soups and daily Portuguese specials. Warm, unpretentious and sensibly priced.

Hours: Wednesday to Saturday 09:00-17:00; Sunday 09:00-16:00; Monday and Tuesday closed
