Café do Paço

Café do Paço boasts a cozy, traditional atmosphere with a touch of elegance. The interior features comfortable seating, including a few small tables perfect for individuals, and a larger communal table that can sometimes be used for more space. The best seating for work is typically by the windows, offering natural light and a view of the square. Their coffee is high-quality, made with local beans, and they're famous for 'Fofas do Faial', a must-try pastry. The crowd is a mix of locals and tourists, generally quiet during the mornings and early afternoons, making it conducive for concentration. Noise levels pick up slightly around lunchtime but remain manageable. Tips for remote workers include arriving early to secure a preferred spot and making sure to try their regional specialties. This cafe offers a genuine taste of Horta while providing a productive environment.
