On Porto's favourite shopping street
Specialty Coffee on Rua de Santa Catarina
My Coffee Porto — Santa Catarina, Rua de Santa Catarina 567, 4000-345 Porto
Why visit Santa Catarina
Santa Catarina is the newest My Coffee Porto, opened right on Rua de Santa Catarina — the pedestrian shopping street that runs through the heart of the city. It is also home to our in-house Joper drum roaster, where we roast our specialty coffee beans. If you are shopping, staying nearby or simply walking the street between the Majestic Café and the Via Catarina shopping centre, this is the easiest place to break for a genuinely good coffee rather than settling for whatever is closest. The café serves our full menu: specialty espresso drinks and hand-brewed filter coffee, breakfast and brunch plates, açaí and fruit bowls, fresh pastries and cold drinks for warm afternoons. It also keeps the longest hours of our four cafés, open daily from 08:00 until 20:00, so it works as well for an early breakfast before the shops open as for a late-afternoon recharge when the street is at its busiest. Everything is available to take away if you would rather keep moving. The Bolhão market and metro are one block away, and our Bolhão café — home of our coffee workshops — is a three-minute walk.
Visit us
Get DirectionsThe best time to visit
Santa Catarina keeps the longest hours of our four cafés, 08:00 to 20:00, which makes it the most flexible. Before 10:00 the shopping street is still quiet and so are we. Mid-afternoon, when Rua de Santa Catarina is at its busiest, is the liveliest time to sit and watch the street. Early evening is calm again — the only one of our cafés still open for a coffee after the shops start closing.

From Via Catarina Shopping
Continue along Rua de Santa Catarina away from the centre — about 2 minutes on the pedestrian street.
