In the very touristic Graça area, there is this heaven place, hidden from tourists. This café belongs to the theater da Garagem. It has an amazing view, the atmosphere is peaceful and with a lot of light. They don't have wifi if you plan to work there though..

interesting and exciting art exhibitions
