What a find! This place is a total jewel in the Princesinha do Mar. Their case is absolutely full…read moreof cookies if every type you could ever want! Chocolate chip, double chocolate, double DARK chocolate, oatmeal, red velvet, and on and on and on. They also have brownies. I had a double dark chocolate cookie. The chocolate chips were warm and melty and the cookie was totally soft and delicious. Another great thing about this place is that they have excellent cafe lattes, which is a real struggle to find here in Brazil. If it weren't for the whimsical green stools and lilac colored walls, I would think I was in Brooklyn. For a gringo like me who has been just dying to have a decent cookie for months, this place is a true blessing! The shop is quite small, and has an unassuming front door, so look closely! Cookies cost R$4,80 each. My latte was R$7,30

We got a few different ones to try and the bread here is super fresh. Highly would recommend the sweet pastries. The salty/ savory options were decent as well. Definitely want to try everything here when I have a sweet tooth, the pastry desserts are great if you love sweets!

I found this place by accident while looking for a Banco do Brasil. Next day, me, my mom and my son…read moredecided to try their breakfast. Their "sonho" (Brazilian doughnut) is the best sonho ever. So every morning, we were very excited to go there. It is very well located, near the subway station Nossa Senhora da Paz and near the Ipanema beach, in a very busy street. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other breakfast places.

Yelp Review 2025 #177:…read more I was going to a more popular cafe a minute away from Casa Cave but they don't open til 11am so, I was going to pre-game here. There was a line with 5 people ahead of me but since I was dining solo, I got to skip the line and the doorman let me go in and hands me a card to take to the cashier. But not knowing Portuguese and them not knowing English, it was confusing. I got a table but it hasn't been cleaned yet but I sat my bag down while looking at the food display. I went up to the counter with the older lady cashiers and placed my order and paid. What I ordered were readily available and don't require cooking but I only received one item. So, I pulled out Google Translate to let them know I was missing parts of my order and only received one item. A few minutes later, I got everything I ordered. And you know when people are talking about you in a different language? That was the vibe I got here. Pastel de Nata: They got an award for their pastel de nata so, my expectations were pretty high. It was ok. They could've warmed it up before serving and offered sugar and cinnamon but nope. I've had better. 3/5 Passionfruit Juice: It tasted fresh. A nice balance of tart and sweet. 4/5 Bolinho de Bacalhau: Fried cod fritter. Tasty, crunchy on the outside. 3.5/5 Coxinha: I love this stuff. It's one of my favorite Brazilian food. Like a fried croquette shaped like a teardrop filled with chicken and cream cheese. 4/5 There's a review site that claims this place is cash only - not true. But I got cash with me when I went here.

Probably the best torta/cake coffee shop in Brazil. Having tried many desserts in Brazil nothing…read moreseemed to match international standards. Either too sweet, lacked a variance in texture or flavor, or just downright unappealing. Wide variety of cakes to choose from and can order by the slice or by the whole. Great place to stop by after eating at the other nearby restaurants. The coffee is good as well but quite small. The small/pequeno is equivalent to a demitasse cup (1 shot of espresso) whereas the grande is probably a 5oz cup. I'd definitely recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for a coffee pick me up or European quality cakes.

Initially, I went in to ask for help finding a bank ATM and the cashier was very patient with my Google translate plea. Long story short, my ATM card did not work at that bank but we stopped by later for a coffee and something sweet. Lots of locals and tourists enjoying an afternoon treat. Service was slow but hey- we were on vacation!

Service was quite slow and the food we ordered took quite some time to come. Overall, the food did seem to be decent quality - and eggs were not too greasy.
