Dear Rose

Dear Rose is equal parts café and art space - a beautifully designed interior where the walls double as a gallery and the coffee is treated with the same attention as the aesthetic. It's one of the most visually striking spots in Ericeira.

The coffee is specialty-grade and taken seriously. The flat white is one of the best in town - properly textured milk, good extraction, served in beautiful ceramics. They also do filter coffee, cold brew, and matcha for the non-espresso crowd.

The food menu leans healthy and plant-forward. Vegan options are genuinely good (not afterthought additions), and the cakes and pastries are worth the visit alone. The açaí bowls and toasts are popular breakfast choices.

Beyond coffee: Dear Rose transitions into a cocktail and craft beer spot in the evenings. The drinks menu is creative and well-executed - a nice alternative to the typical bar scene.

The space is dog-friendly, warmly lit, and designed with care. Art exhibitions rotate regularly, giving the café a gallery atmosphere that sets it apart from Ericeira's more casual spots.

Not primarily a laptop café - the vibe is more social than productive. Come here for a beautiful coffee experience, not to grind through emails.
