Bom dia querida comunidade!
Now that our adoption application is in and we are in the long-awaited waiting period we have decided to open a Favela Cafe in Setubal, Portugal to create community and bring Favela to all of the Brazilians and lovers of Brazilian culture here in the sweet beach town of Setubal, Portugal!
We have found a space for rent in the cutest pedestrian area of the city, known as the Baixa. The space is much smaller than Foster, though bigger than Tabor - a perfect in-between.. The cafe is a 10 minute walk from our apartment and a 10 minute walk to the beach; we are very excited!
As we get in cafe gear here in Setubal to open our newest Favela branch we have been looking at old pictures and videos and thinking of all of you all even more than usual. What we had on Foster was such a precious chapter - we survived COVID together, danced at Pagodes, sang Karaoke into each other's eyes, cemented old relationships and created new friendships.
There were magic-shows and Forro concerts, Johnny Franco played on the front sidewalk and Festa Junina was celebrated in the back. We cherish each moment that we created and shared with all of you, our beloved community. There will be lots of pictures of you all at the new space - come put your sticker on the new map of Brazil!
Y'all need to come and visit us - we just had our first visitors from our Favela on Foster community - Leah and Yader!
The cafe is not open yet but it was beyond special to have them visit us in our sweet little town of Setubal and see the cafe being created.
Our mural just went in yesterday and the tin shed roof was put in last week! Favela Brazilian Cafe here we come!
We cannot wait to see all of you at the door of our Favela Setubal location! Please follow our Instagram to see our progress and keep up to date on our opening on October!
We are happy to have met you in Setubal and now wished we had found you in Portland. Can’t wait to be at your opening and so much more merriment.
