Ponto 2

the filter coffee here is worth slowing down for, which is saying something on a street like avenida da França, where most people are moving with purpose. ponto 2 sits in a part of porto that isn't the tourist-dense riverfront, and that shift in geography matters. you get a neighborhood rhythm instead of a curated one. the espresso pulls confidently, not timidly, and the menu reads like someone made real decisions rather than covering every possible preference. locally, people talk about this place with the kind of ease that comes from actual familiarity, not hype. come in the morning, when the light off the avenue is doing its thing and the day hasn't gotten complicated yet, and order the filter.
