At Favela Café, our mission has always been about more than just coffee—it's about creating a vibrant community where people can come together, share experiences, and feel a genuine connection. Since our early days in Portland, we've been driven by the energy and spirit that the word "Favela" embodies—a sense of resilience, creativity, and community.
As we've grown and evolved, especially with our move to Portugal, it became clear that it was time for a change—a name that reflects not only our roots but also our future. That's why we're excited to introduce our new name: FAVELA FIXE.
So, why "FIXE"?
In Portugal, "fixe" (pronounced "fish") is a popular slang word that means "cool" or "awesome." It's a word that's used to express enthusiasm and positivity, perfectly capturing the energy we want to bring to our community. By combining "Favela" with "Fixe," we're blending the vibrant, dynamic spirit of the Favela Cafe with the laid-back, welcoming vibe of Portuguese culture.
This new name is more than just a rebranding—it's a celebration of the cultural fusion that defines us. We've taken the lively, communal atmosphere that we built in Portland and brought it to Portugal, where we've been warmly welcomed and inspired by the local culture. The result? FAVELA FIXE—a space where the best of both worlds come together, creating a unique, inclusive environment that feels like home to everyone who walks through our doors and events.
Our commitment to community remains at the heart of everything we do. Just as we did in Portland, we continue to create spaces for people to connect, share stories, and support one another. Whether it's through our events, tours, or simply over a cup of coffee, we aim to foster real human connections in a world that's becoming increasingly digital and disconnected.
The name FAVELA FIXE symbolizes this perfect blend of cultures—a tribute to our past and a nod to our exciting future in Portugal. It's a reminder that no matter where we are in the world, the values of community, inclusivity, and positivity will always guide us.
We're thrilled to embark on this new chapter with you, and we can't wait to see how FAVELA FIXE continues to grow, inspire, and connect people from all walks of life.
Here's to many more cool, awesome, and FIXE experiences together!
