About

Mercador Café is a bustling brunch spot in central Porto known for its mushroom truffle and avocado toasts—both of which can be prepared vegan. The cafe offers a variety of fresh juices, smoothies, and some vegan bowls, though vegan items are unmarked on the menu and staff can assist with customization. Popular for breakfast and casual solo dining, the cafe charges extra for plant milk and operates cash only, with often busy service and wait times during peak hours.
