What a unique place, just an open space at the end of a hall after taking the escalator up one…read moreflight with an open air balcony and a couple padded benches to sit. There's two stands, one for espresso and another for cappuccino with a sink for washing dishes. One table offers either brown or white sugar containers and spoons for stirring your sugar. Another table has baskets for money, paying (as much or as little as you see fit) and counters so they have a loose estimate of how many people ordered espressos and cappuccinos. This open, exposed, honest business is so novel. There's a level of trust, that people will pay adequately for the services rendered, that's commendable and refreshing. Needless to say, the coffee is excellent and their reputation has grown to make it a busy and popular place. They even offer coffee for sale, should you wish to take some home with you.

The only thing I could think when I was here was, "how cool is this place?"…read more As everyone else has mentioned, it is quite unique to have a restaurant that shows you all of their expenses instead of a menu. A true mark of the quality here is that their customers only pay what they think is appropriate. I'm not very good at math, but I can look at the sign listing the restaurant's bills and then at the amount of people drinking coffee. If the coffee weren't good, the place simply wouldn't be able to function. Lucky for us, the coffee is top notch. Rather than stopping at a Starbucks or one of the many coffee shops on the first floor of this shopping plaza, do yourself a favor and head upstairs. In addition to the great coffee and friendly staff, you're also bound to run into interesting people as businessmen, students, and street vendors all take a break from their hectic days.

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.
