Almalusa Coffee and Friends Armação de Pêra Review

Almalusa is a very cute brunch spot near the beach in Armacao de Pera. It’s well styled, the presentation is lovely, and you’re steps from the beach – a winning combo!

Pro Tip: Almalusa is a CASH ONLY establishment.

You can see at the top of their menu that they do not accept “multibanco” aka credit cards. Although I get it that there are extra fees for processing credit card payments, this is always a bit disappointing especially in a tourist area, so close to the beach, in a trendy little spot.

Just keep it in mind if you want to stop in here, be sure to bring cash. 🙂
