I ordered a small bowl and it was a big portion. Toppings are an extra charge, individually priced, and come on the side. I chose bananas, toasted coconut, and honey.

There is plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating, a colorful atmosphere, and I was attended to quickly.

There are too many good restaurants in this city, for anyone to have to tolerate this.

I'm updating my review because they seem to have fixed their wifi! In my original review, I…read morecommented that the wifi really didn't work, but now it seems to be functioning perfectly. This is a nice cafe in Copacabana. It definitely has the most styles of coffee brews I've ever seen in Brazil. You can choose between French Press, Aeropress, Chemex (pour over), filter (via Hario V60), and all of the standard espresso varieties. The wait staff is super helpful and patient, and they are more than happy to explain to you their different roasts available as well as the differences in brewing methods. The only downside to their coffee is that even the French press and the pour over result in exactly a 8-oz serving, so you don't get a whole full French press or Chemex like you get at many cafes in the U.S. I haven't tried everything on their menu, but I personally love the waffles, they're crispy and delicious, and you can choose between a variety of toppings (my favorite is honey & butter). It's a perfect midday snack! With a whimsical colorful atmosphere, the decor is so well thought out that this cafe really almost seems out of place here in Rio. Where many cafes here seem to think of their interior design as an afterthought, here they have made it a priority. With plenty of table space and comfortable chairs, this is an excellent place to come and spend the afternoon working on a project. They also have some great desserts available and the rest of the menu, which includes soups and omelettes a and other light foods, looks amazing If you're used to the comfy cozy cafes of the U.S. and want a place to get some work done, this is definitely your spot (as long as you don't need wifi). It's also a great place to come with a friend to have a relaxed conversation.

The wait time was very short -- only about five minutes -- but it was a Wednesday and not a holiday, so I imagine weekends can get much busier. I'd definitely recommend arriving early or making a reservation if you plan to visit on a Saturday or Sunday. The food was excellent. We ordered the Pesto e Burrata, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We also tried the Picadinho Tapajós, and it was one of the highlights: the beans were perfectly cooked, the farofa mix was amazing, and it came with a beautifully prepared egg and fried banana. Such a comforting and authentic Brazilian combination that I'm sure everyone will enjoy. For drinks, the strawberry caipirinha was spot on -- refreshing and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The passion fruit caipirinha also tasted great, although it could have had just a touch more sugar. We also tried the Limoncello Spritz, which wasn't really our favorite, but it may appeal to a different taste. The real star of this place is the view. It's absolutely impeccable -- honestly, there are very few places in Rio (or even in the world) with a setting this beautiful. Having lunch with a direct view of Sugarloaf Mountain feels priceless. Prices were a bit above average, but considering the location, atmosphere, and unforgettable scenery, it was 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love this place. The night of our Arrival Day we decided to take a walk to explore…read morethe area and to look for places where we would be able to have breakfast or lunch and other meals. We stumbled upon Bonisand there were so many different options to choose from. They have everything from different types of breads natural juices, roasted chicken, sandwiches, cold cut, and all types of baked goods. That same evening I needed something to eat and they had some type of bread with the cheese inside it was sort of like a stromboli looking thing to give you an idea of what it look like. I got that with a small roasted chicken and my friend orderd a coffee. The chicken was flavorful, well-cooked and just the right amount to share between us the cheese bread, although they heated it in the microwave it wasn't bad at all. The next day we went back for breakfast and they didn't have the same bread that they had the day before however, the girls helped us pick another type of bread with cheese that would be similar to the one that I had the day before. The coffee at this place is also spectacular. Something about the coffee, I guess it's the way they grind the beans for each cup makes the taste so amazing. We wound up going back to this place every morning for breakfast we pretty much had the same thing bread with cheese and coffee. On our last morning I decided to have a mango juice and they don't sell a small but it's just one size I got it anyway. It was really good, fresh and delicious. The service here was just amazing all of the girls were so helpful even though we didn't speak the language and they didn't speak English or Spanish we were able to communicate because they were so helpful. We used a lot of gestures and a lot of pointing at things that we wanted and it was funny and they never seem to get frustrated with us which was great. There was so many good baked options that looked delicious and one day we asked if we could sample a coconut looking dessert and right away they said no problem and gave us a piece to try. They even wanted to give us more than what we were asking for but we declined because we only wanted a taste. By the time we were Rio we felt like this was our local cafe in our neighborhood. We said bye to all the girls. We also made sure we tipped well every time we went. Oh and btw, they have tables where you can sit outside. It was always crowded every time we went.
