I lunch at this place almost every week. Is a "por quilo" with few and very simple options, but good - and cheap. The desserts are incredible! read more

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.

Hidden on the 3rd floor of a boutique in Centro, there is a high possibility that you would just…read morewalk pass the shop without even knowing that it exists. We walked up the many flights of stairs (not knowing that there was a lift...) to find a bright airy sitting area. My order was mushroom penna pasta and it came nice and piping hot. The taste was great! To wash that down, I ordered their coffee and cookie combo for R$7.90. A cuppa espresso and a cookie of your choice, which comes warm (meaning nice and melty chocolate chips inside! yummmmmm). It was not as pricy as we expected it to be. Definitely going back!
They recently opened this location July 2014. I found out they have another location in Shopping…read moreVertical on 7 de setembro. This new location is hidden on the third floor of a clothing shop (Folic/Checklist). Only found this place as I was waiting for some friends outside of the Folic clothes store, and noticed their menu. I went there today with co-workers and we were pleasantly surprised. They have a diverse menu - they have daily specials. Each day of the week has a specific dish, plus their menu has diverse salads, build your own plate, and pastas. I had the dish of the day(R$25.40), which were two burger patties, wedge potatoes seasoned with herbs and a Caesar salad. The salad greens were really fresh and seasoned well. The patties were flavorful and went well with the caramelized onions. You could order traditional French fries or the wedge potatoes. I opted for the wedge, but you only get three...which seemed like a small portion for the size of the dish. But it was a pretty filling dish. Another co-worker ordered a pasta dish - Penne with Funghi, which also well served and really creamy. Another colleague ordered their pesto salad. It was a big bowl of salad greens, carrots, beetroot, pasta in pesto sauce, tomatoes and chicken. The salad looked really fresh and bright and colorful. Everyone was happy with their dishes. As the name of the restaurant goes, we also had to order something sweet. We chose the Banana Boat - a banana cake with chocolate chips (served warm) with vanilla ice cream. Was really good! I am not a big banana cake person, but this was perfect. it wasnt overly sweet and was warm and light. A great end to a great lunch. This was a hidden gem and we will go back for sure! We were worried about space, but they have a ton of seating, and can easily get a table for 4 or 6 people. We will be returning to try other menu items and sweet desserts.

Small narrow entrance but filled with sweet treats!…read more Various Portuguese desserts - pastry puffs, mil folhas, pastel de Belém, croissants and savory dished. Toucinho do céu is priced at R$5.50 and so is their mil folhas. There are apple and banana strudels...the list is endless. In the back they have a cafe seating area for lunch meals and also counter full of savory dishes. Not as an extravagant design/architecture as Colombo, but still filled with history and deliciousness!

#vegan review This…read morecame up on trip advisor as a place with vegan options - firstly there are no SPECIFIC vegan options. However, based on the owner I would give 5 stars!!!! I originally asked for anything vegano and he said no. He had some english menus available and speaks good english. I ordered an orange juice and my sister ordered her meal, which she quite enjoyed and a cappuccino - so cute! The owner came back to try to find something I could eat. I ended up getting a little plate of mashed banana with oatmeal. Simple and delicious. He was so kinda and I so appreciate his effort!! The place is itty bitty but people tend to come and go quickly as the food is delivered quickly. It is definitely this cute little stop in cafe! So although no particular vegan options, I say stop in - any place that puts in effort gets my support. Copacabana! The orange juice was so fresh and delicious!

In addition to their menu, they usually have a few full-blown almoço (like a big lunch) specials. These have varied from fried chicken to delicious lemon ricotta ravioli. Every time I've been, there have been some great-looking lunch specials. They have great hours, I believe its 9am-9pm, and they're even open on Sundays, so if you are looking for a good brunch spot on Sunday, check them out! They have decent coffee, and really great baked goods. They also happen to be on of only two places I know of in Rio where you can get a decent American-style chocolate chip cookie. The food is all reasonably priced. Sandwiches are in the R$20 range and the lunch specials run around R$30.

I first spotted this place in Copacabana and had to stop in to get a cafe and a snack because it…read morelooked so inviting. Then I saw they opened another in Ipanema and shortly after another in Leblon. This type of place seems like it would do well here. This store is not quite as large and doesn't have the display of the working portion of the bakery behind the window like the flagship store but it's less cramped and has a similar decor. I got a classic mille-fueille pastry and a cappuccino (they top with chocolate and cinnamon if you like). Both were quite delicious. There were only one or two pastries of each kind left, which is good because they don't make more than they can sell for the day, but still had a decent selection. I also got a loaf of Italian bread and will try it tomorrow with my meal. I'm excited they opened this branch out in this neighborhood.

Found this on a map app, but since it was so good, it was added to our Yelp! app too because more people need to know about this place. It has a good menu and selection from breakfast items and sandwiches, juices and smoothies. I got the steak sandwich and the wife had a veggie sandwich. Both were amazing. I also had a smoothie of berry and mango and she had the green drink of veggies. Both of those were soooo good too! Service was good and again we worked through our ignorance of the local language with limited Portuguese and some Spanish sprinkled in. We worked together and made it work. Place is nice and clean. Bathrooms are also nice and clean. Open air seating inside or out which I like. If your visiting the Cristo Redentor, as you leave, turn right and walk about half a mile and then cross the street, you'll find it. Right by a bus stop and Uber pick up spot. Easy in and out. Enjoy!

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.

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
