I tried the chocolate from São Tomé and Príncipe which was quite rich but quite tasty. The coffee however wasn't impressive. Stick to just the ice cream. They have a nice seating area that's aesthetically pleasing but the chairs aren't that comfortable. Luckily the seating wasn't crowded even though there was a line for the ice cream, I suppose most people just take it to go.

(fresh made cone filled with lquid chocolate and topped with gelato, can't even image) The cakes are beautiful and being made constantly. Indoor and outdoor seating gives you a break fromt he heat/sun or a chance to continue sunbathing. Momo's is very popular, the line was out the door but the wait is worth the treat. Even with the rush the staff was smiling and interacting. Other customers helped me (english only speaker) order and offer their suggestions for the best scoop. Great visit.

So tasty and fresh. The best gelato I have ever had in my life. It was not too sugary but flavorful.read more

Moist, warm, fresh and fudgy. So, this place offers a dozen or more browny flavors and they can be enjoyed with chocolate sauce and ice cream if you do choose. They also have innovative dessert drinks...imagine milk shake browny concoctions. My wife had a hot chocolate that was the thickest/richest hot cocoa I've ever seen...maybe even too rich. Anyway, for me as a dessert lover and brownie fan, this place is Nirvana.

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!

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.

They also let me try some more of the milkier and chocolate based flavors like brigadero. My partner who speaks Portuguese did most of the communication. I'm sure they could tell when I liked a flavor or when I found it alright though haha. We ended up choosing a three mini option since there are so many flavors to choose from. I definitely would recommend trying this ice cream place out! The decor is also very inviting if you want to sit down and eat your ice cream.

We stopped here for some ice cream while in Rio last week…read more For starters, the two women working the counter were so nice. We told them that it was our first time there and that we've heard rave reviews about their ice cream. They gave us so many samples! Fruit flavors, chocolatey flavors, tart flavors, spicy flavors, etc! Our favorite was definitely the Bacuri, which is made from a fruit from Northern Brazil. It was delicious! The Rabanada (French Toast) and Mango Wasabi were also amazing. I think they have a few locations in Rio, but this one is in a great spot, near Parque Lage, and has the sweetest workers.
