As a café, it serves coffee and light fare in a setting that draws both locals and visitors passing through Ribeira Grande. The venue sits within easy reach of Ponta Delgada, the island's main city, and of Lagoa and Vila Franca do Campo along the southern route.

The Azores have a mild oceanic climate, with green landscapes through the year and most rain falling in winter, so a light waterproof layer is worth carrying. Whale-watching trips from several ports bring sightings of sperm whales, dolphins and Cory's shearwater, and the island's calendar includes Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope. Pico, the highest mountain in Portugal, rises from the neighbouring island, and its vineyards grow inside walls of volcanic stone.
