Simplysugar - Covilhã

We stopped by here for coffee and a snack one weekday afternoon. It was busy but we managed to find a corner table. The space is nice and bright, with minimalist but comfortable furniture. The menu has a selection of gaufres and crepes with different toppings, as well as sandwiches and salads suitable for a light lunch. They also serve a variety of coffee based drinks and exotic teas. We ordered coffee and shared a gaufre with cinnamon and sugar. The coffee was good, and the gaufre was excellent. One nice additional touch was a play area for children with stools. a low table, and a nice selection of toys. Our one year old was a bit too little to enjoy the space fully, but it's great for slightly older children, and keeps them occupied while their parents enjoy their coffee a really good idea! I'd highly recommend this place for people looking for something a little different from a standard Portuguese cafe.

It was our first trip to Covilha to visit our daughter. Simple but good quality food. There should be more places like this in Covilha, not the old fashioned coffee shops where people are allowed to smoke ? . We have visited this cafe for the second time before taking our train back to Lisbon. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. Well done ! Coming back soon...
