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.

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 heard about this place from someone who lives in the neighborhood and at 8am, when we pulled up on a Saturday, there was already a line of people waiting for their dose of freshly baked scones and muffins, baguettes and sourdoughs. This is a grab-and-go situation, as there's virtually no A/C in the shop, but should you chose to dine in, they have a small menu of breatfast items. Everything from eggs to bread and cheese, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. What's even better, Rabe is super reasonably priced. I recommend stopping in and loading up a number of different breads.

High ceilings, classic atmosphere, the kind of place where you half expect people from a century ago to walk through the doors. All we had was the Café Colombo Especial Duplo (for two), and it was more than enough. Quick tip before ordering: adjust your expectations a bit. As Americans, we're used to breakfast meaning eggs, sausage, bacon the whole heavy lineup. In Brazil, breakfast leans more toward pastries, breads, yogurt, and coffee. And that's exactly what they brought out: baskets loaded with different kinds of bread, pastries, spreads, yogurt, and plenty of coffee. Honestly, it was a lot. So much bread we couldn't even finish it all. A simple breakfast, but in a setting that makes the whole experience feel special.

Warning- if you go later in the day, they are sometimes out of certain pastries. The menu is extensive. They have more than just pastries and snacks!

Outdoor seating today though was a definite plus, granted you're on a secondary road behind the main drag on Copacabana beach. We had picanha ao braseiro which is a kidney shaped steak with some fat - no complaints. It was a perfect medium with salt crystals that occasionally explodes in your mouth for that extra flavor. For 162 Brazilian Real(currency) for two people, it's a good deal. It came with diced tomatoe and onions a perfect offset. Happy I came here.
