Specialty coffee is increasingly ‘in vogue’ and in Greater Porto, quality is guaranteed and highlighted not only within the city, but also beyond its borders. What does this mean? For the second consecutive year, a café near Invicta has earned a place in the global spotlight thanks to “The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops.”
The awards ceremony for this global ranking was announced on Monday, February 16, at Coffee-Fest Madrid. In this second edition, more than 15,000 coffee shops were evaluated worldwide, with the final result combining the evaluation of more than 800 professionals from the coffee sector and the public vote.
To construct the final ranking, several aspects were considered, such as:
- Coffeequality
- Staffexperience
- Customer service
- Innovation
- Ambience and atmosphere
- Sustainable practices
- Quality of food and pastries
- Consistency
