you probably didn’t come to Porto for the views (though they’re nice).
you came to live, work, meet people, maybe start over—or just start something.
you’ve been other places. you know what it’s like to land somewhere new and ask, could this be it?
and then porto creeps in: the coffee rituals, the ocean air, the weird weather, the feeling that maybe you don’t need to leave.
like the song says—“home is where i want to be / but i guess i’m already there.”
that’s the spirit behind this must be porto—a small weekly thing to help you feel more connected, more in rhythm, and more at home here.

🔦 local spotlight
the grow is a new specialty coffee + brunch place in trindade, and it’s already pulling in a crowd. opened just last month, it mixes coffee with laid-back brunch sets, and lowkey dj vibes in a clean, modern space. next time you’re passing through trindade, make it a stop.
