I have a thing for coffee...and Beluga definitely got me good…read more
Located in Vila Buarque region, this clean, minimalist coffee shop certainly serves some of the best coffee in the city and to go with the coffee the bagels and the chocolate cookies are so damn good ! I have been there twice and tried different parties of coffee - both times made using Aeropress, and each time the coffee was excellent - besides the flavors, the temperature they serve it is comfortable and their presentation is clean. Beluga has certainly got me drinking my coffee in clear glasses instead of the traditional coffee mugs.
The place is small, white tables, basic seating facilities and free wi-fi - you do see a lot of MacBooks flipped open with people talking in hushed tones or just tapping away at their keyboards. The background music is pleasant. I really like the service here, the baristas know that they are doing and they are quite polite, there is no service fee on the sales - the service and the ambience along with the great coffee makes me want to go back.
