Service and Practical Information 🛎️💶

Our experience with the service was smooth and friendly, although we heard from friends that they had to wait a bit longer. However, this seems to be an exception, as most visitors receive their meals quickly and without issues.

One small downside is the payment process. You have to pay inside at a machine that only accepts cash, which might make the experience feel a bit less personal. Nonetheless, Chelsea Brunch Café & Pastelaria remains highly recommended, thanks to its excellent gluten-free options, the charming terrace in the center of Faro, and the all day kitchen.
