Figuring out how to order coffee in Portugal<\/a> and get it right can be tricky. The Portuguese prefer their caffeine fix in short, creamy, and slightly bitter doses of espressos. But the coffee scene<\/a> has begun to change in recent years. This is thanks to the rise of new hipster-friendly businesses and a new wave of digital nomads who choose Lisbon as their base.<\/p>

The new Nordic-inspired establishments won’t, however, shun out the typical corner cafes of the city. (You know, the ones whose employees haven’t quite gotten used to the request of “coffee to go.”) Lisboetas<\/em> are on the run every morning, but there’s always time to stop for that first bica<\/em> of the day at one of the many fantastic Lisbon cafes.<\/p>
