The focaccia sandwiches are delicious and big enough to share if you're only after a light lunch. If there isn't one already made, they'll make you a fresh one on the spot. Great café, good drinks menu, and a nice range of pastries too.

The sandwiches are amazing, my favourite is Parmaham's with mozzarella. It goes very well with a delicious red fruit smoothie that they make on site. I ordered an iced latte and an iced matcha latte that were just fantastic. The sweets are fresh and there are many options. Very friendly and welcoming staff, I go often and I never regret it, I advise you to meet them.

While being located inside the Locke De Santa Joana lobby, Cafe Castro’s is not a hotel cafe. Their espresso, pastries, and sandwiches were all delicious and would have us walking out of way to find them if we were not staying at the hotel. Leonardo and team were also extremely welcoming and kind with their recommendations.
