Ponto Expresso Cafe is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a haven for those seeking a respite from their travels. Located in the heart of Faro, this café offers a serene escape where you can sip your favourite brew while soaking in the vibrant surroundings. We arrived here after our flight from Gatwick to Faro. Following a swift journey from the airport to our hotel, we dropped our bags and headed for the Old Town. We knew this place would be good as it was busy serving locals coffee and cake. It was a nice day, so we sat outside and enjoyed the views in the sunshine.

I understand the importance of a good cup of coffee on your adventures. Ponto Expresso excels in brewing perfection. From robust espressos to velvety cappuccinos, each cup is crafted with precision, ensuring that every sip is a delightful journey for your taste buds. We fancied trying out the cheese toasties available for lunch, so we made the decision to give them a go. Opting for variety, we settled on a cheese and ham toastie alongside a Mediterranean vegetable toastie. Upon arrival, both selections were presented to us with a delightful golden hue, adorned with a sprinkling of aromatic herbs on top.

Start Your Day with a Motivational Kick – Ponto Expresso Style

There’s something magical about starting the day in Faro with the aroma of freshly ground coffee drifting through the air. At Ponto Expresso, mornings don’t just begin—they burst into life! The cheerful team behind the counter greet you as if you’re an old friend, their smiles as warm as the coffee they serve. It’s the perfect blend of caffeine and kindness—a little dose of positivity with every sip.

As our time in Faro drew to a close, practicality met opportunity. We needed something tasty for our train journey ahead, so we made a beeline back to Café Ponto Expresso—our trusted stop for both energy and good vibes.

Ordering was a breeze, and the choices were mouth-wateringly tempting. I went bold with a zesty, spicy pork sandwich, the meat marinated in tangy lemon that promised to wake up my taste buds. Clare, ever the fan of fresh flavours, opted for a classic pesto, mozzarella, and basil combination—simple, elegant, and perfectly Mediterranean.

Before you dash off with your own takeaway, here’s a handy tip for travellers: in Portugal, there’s a small takeaway tax of €0.30 added to your bill for single-use packaging. It’s a small price to pay for convenience, but worth keeping in mind when you’re counting your euros.

With our sandwiches safely packed and spirits high, we left Ponto Expresso feeling both energised and ready for the next leg of our journey—proof that a good coffee stop can fuel more than just your body; it can boost your mood for the adventures ahead.
