What you find at Mini Supermarket
Mini Supermarket is an independent mercearia on Rua da Prata in the Baixa, the kind of narrow shopfront you pass on the way between Rossio station and the grid of streets behind it. What you notice first is how little floor there is: shelves packed close, a counter at the back, and the sense that everything here is chosen rather than stacked.
The counter is where the shop's character sits. The person serving moves between Spanish and Korean as the transaction goes, so you can ask a question in either and get an answer. It is a small, personal way of running a shop, and it is the thing that stays with you afterwards.
Two cans of soda is the sort of small purchase this shop handles, and the total for a handful of items lands somewhere in the €5 to €15 band.
Treat it as a quick stop rather than a full shop. The shop suits a short errand in the Baixa, a cold drink or a couple of things you need on the way through, and it rewards a traveller who is comfortable asking rather than browsing.

Rua da Prata, Baixa

Who is this for
This shop suits a traveller staying in or passing through the Baixa who needs a couple of things quickly and would rather ask at a counter than hunt through a big aisle. It also works for anyone who wants to practise a bit of Spanish or Korean while buying a drink. Come for a short errand, not a week's provisions.
If you want a full supermarket with marked prices and long daily hours instead of a counter shop, My Auchan on Rua dos Correeiros is 50 m away and opens 8 am to 10 pm every day.
The verdict
With a small, tightly packed floor, this is a shop for a quick handful of items rather than a full basket, and it suits anyone in the Baixa.
