Specialty coffee in Faro centres on Yellow Bourbon, a family-run brand that roasts its own beans for its café in the heart of the city. Founded by Pollyane dos Reis and built up with her family, Yellow Bourbon sources green coffee from established growing regions and roasts in-house, so the espresso on the bar and the bags on the shelf come from the same roaster.
The scene is small: a single local roaster and its café rather than a street of competing bars. Expect espresso drinks alongside filter coffee, plant-based milks and a breakfast and lunch menu with vegan options, a clear contrast to the quick bica at a traditional pastelaria.
