Coffee, Azores
August 2019 Furnas has a lot going for it - volcanoes, geothermal lakes, and thermal baths to wallow in. The town itself has a bustling main street and an array of restaurants serving the famous cozida, but if it’s morning coffee and baked goods you’re after, there’s a cute little bakery with bolos levedos, the local sweet version of an English muffin, fresh from the oven; espresso based coffee; and a tempting display of Portuguese sweet treats. Of course there are the usual suspects, queijadas and pasteis de nata, as well as chocolate cake, orange queijadas and sweet bean queijadas. With a couple of tables to enjoy your coffee and morning sugar hit, it’s a great place to watch the hustle and bustle of Furnas. Find it as Gloria Moniz on Rua Vasco Bensaude in Furnas.
