bean17 coffee and more

bean17 coffee and more is a specialty coffee shop inside the Mercado Municipal de Loule, the town's covered market, run by Ilona and Jan. The cafe roasts its own coffee on site and serves it alongside a small home-baked menu that includes a well-known Dutch apple pie and banana bread, plus toasts, sandwiches, salads and natural juices for breakfast or brunch. The kitchen caters for gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan diets, with plant-based milk options available for coffee drinks. Alongside the food and coffee menu, bean17 stocks a small selection of Portuguese products, including local olive oil, Flor de Sal and ceramics, and offers olive oil tasting for visitors who want to try before they buy. The cafe sits inside the market hall in the centre of Loule and is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
