Cafe Alianca is a lively cafe situated right in the heart of Alvor, next to the church in a small square that brings together both locals and visitors. Its outdoor seating catches the sun nicely, making it an inviting spot for relaxed daytime drinks or casual meet-ups. The atmosphere hums with a steady buzz—there’s enough going on around to make people-watching a quiet entertainment on its own.

The cafe serves up more than just coffee; it’s a popular spot to unwind with a caipirinha or try the Taça Morango, a local favorite dessert drink. This makes it a versatile stop whether you’re craving a casual pint of Super Bock or a laid-back aperitif before dinner. Its reasonable prices and friendly staff add to the approachable vibe, framing it as a comfortable place to linger, chat, or simply rest your feet while exploring the neighborhood.

Regulars tend to drop by throughout the day, especially afternoon into early evening when the square fills up and the weather cooperates. It’s ideal for anyone looking to soak in simple everyday moments with friends or enjoy a break from sightseeing. The welcoming environment and steady flow of people underscore its role as something close to a local hub—unpretentious, easy-going, with a sense of community threaded through casual conversations and shared tables.

I don't really want to say how good this place is, it's already hard enough to get a seat. It is however a great place to gather for an aperitif or after eating. Lively atmosphere, great service, lots happening around, great people watching corner.
