Coff•teria revives a beloved café with tradition and fresh energy on Cattle Street
A new café has arrived on Cattle Street, bringing a mix of tradition and fresh energy to the area. Coff•teria opened its doors around two weeks ago under the ownership of Roberto Figueira, a former Co-op branch manager with deep ties to the location. The spot has quickly attracted a steady flow of customers, some returning multiple times a day.
Figueira's connection to the café goes back years. As a teenager, he worked at Tony's Café, which once occupied the same space. Now, he's revived the spot with Coff•teria, keeping the same menu and prices as its predecessor. The offerings include Delta coffee, classic pastéis de nata custard tarts, and a blend of modern and traditional Portuguese dishes.
The interior has been updated with light green walls and floral touches, giving the place a brighter, more contemporary feel. Despite the changes, the café retains its welcoming atmosphere. Open from 6am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday, it caters to early risers and evening visitors alike.
Figueira's vision extends beyond just serving the Portuguese community. He wants Coff•teria to become a gathering place for everyone in the neighbourhood. The café has already built a loyal base of regulars, suggesting the idea is taking hold.
Coff•teria has settled into its first few weeks with a consistent stream of customers. The café's mix of familiar favourites and updated surroundings appears to be working. For now, the focus remains on serving the community—one coffee and custard tart at a time.
