Amazing cafe—in my opinion the best in Dili. It’s great for a cozy little study session, and even better to practice your Tetun. Fatima is so open and friendly, willing to have a conversation in English, Tetun, or Portuguese.

This is the second branch of Fatima Cafe in Dili. It's placed near the Embassy of China, quite easy to find. Despite the pricey tag, their coffee is great though. The cafe directly faces the sea, so it has great ambiance, especially on the 2nd floor. Recommended.

"I had a wonderful experience at Fatima Cafe! The staff went above and beyond when I accidentally left my AirPods behind. One of the team members kindly kept them safe for me until I could pick them up. Great, honest, and helpful staff. The service and hospitality are top-notch, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for everything!"

Very cozy place and friendly staff! A small selection of baked goods available. Upstairs seating is mainly for smokers with a view of the sea
