1st - Our Story
The history of Cafés Negrita begins in 1924, in the heart of Lisbon, when Manuel Pina and a group of partners decided to found a grocery warehouse that, over time, would become one of Portugal's oldest and most emblematic roasteries.
Driven by a passion for coffee and a desire to offer an exceptionally high-quality product, they began roasting and packaging coffee artisanally, giving rise to a brand that would become synonymous with trust, flavor, and tradition.
Over nearly a century of existence, Cafés Negrita has accompanied generations, adapting to new times without ever losing its essence.
Every bean, every cup, and every aroma tells a little of this journey made of dedication, authenticity, and accumulated knowledge.
Today, under new management, Cafés Negrita renews its commitment to quality and innovation, keeping alive the soul that has always distinguished it. We have reinforced our focus on excellence coffees, but also expanded the portfolio.
From Lisbon to the country and the world, Cafés Negrita continues to honor its heritage, roasting not only coffee, but Portuguese history, culture, and passion in every cup.
