GOOD COFFEE. COOL ICE CREAM. GREAT VIBES.

A little coffee house & ice cream shop by the North Coast of São Miguel, Azores where slow mornings, salty air and good company come together in every cup and every scoop.

The Coffee Corner

Good Days Start
With Good Coffee.

Slow-brewed, always fresh, and made with the same care whether you're grabbing a quick espresso before work or settling in for a long chat over a latte. Our beans, your morning — it's a North Coast thing.

Espresso

Short, strong & straight to the point.

Cappuccino

Rich espresso, steamed milk, soft foam.

Latte

Smooth, creamy, made for slow sipping.

Iced Coffee

Cold, refreshing, built for Azores summers.

Scoops

Life's Better
With Ice Cream.

Creamy, cold and made to be enjoyed slowly on a bench by the water. These are a few of our favorites — ask what's freshly scooped today.

Our Story

Rooted Here.
Made With Love.

North Coast started with a simple idea: bring the warmth of a good coffee house and the joy of a good ice cream shop to the heart of Ribeira Grande — a town we've always called home, on an island that shapes everything we do.

This is more than a coffee house and ice cream shop. It's a small corner of Ribeira Grande where locals and travelers slow down, say hi, and leave a little happier than they arrived.

More Than Coffee.
More Than Ice Cream.

It's a North Coast feeling.
