They offer several small tables and chairs with a couple large couches and arm chairs in the back that almost look like a living room centered around a low coffee table. They offer a variety of caffeinated drinks and snacks. Service was fine, you can order at the counter or at table and they bring it to your table.

But it also didn't do anything for me that would make it above average. One advantage, which is not really because of anything the store did, is that it is next to a couch area in Shopping da Gávea, making it easy to enjoy your coffee somewhere a little more comfortable. I'm not sure if it's this way at every California Coffee, but the store is a kiosk by the escalators as opposed to an actual store that you can enter. They do have their own tables and chairs though, so you can enjoy your coffee or snack there if you'd like. I tried the hazelnut coffee and there are several options of hot and cold coffee drinks to please most anyone looking for a quick fix. I personally would go here rather than the Starbucks downstairs, but I wouldn't rank it above Momo just around the corner or D.R.I. upstairs.

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.

The baristas working…read moreat the Café are exceptionally nice, and gladly helped me pick out a drink and practice my Portuguese. Per their recommendation I ordered the cappuccino (a drink I normally avoid back in the States) and absolutely loved it. The drink came with sugared lemon rinds on the side which were delicious, while the cappuccino itself was one of the best I've ever tasted. Despite being hardly two blocks from the beach the vibes are calm and tranquil, and I got a lot of work done. If you're in Leblon looking for a nice place to start your morning or want a sweet spot to sit on your computer and do some work while on vacation Armazém do Café is the place to be.

Safely over time and because brazil is usually in some sort of financial crisis they were forced to downsize by a whole lot. Now they are reduced to some kiosks in strategic points of the city. The food era of this brand seems to be over for now but the coffee they serve is still on point. If you traveling back from brazil from the rio de janeiro international airport you should definetly have a cup of coffe at the palheta kiosk and try their cheese bread on the side. They have some tables around the kiosk so you and your friends can sit and enjoy your coffe. Best of all they serve the coffe in real mugs not the paper or plastic cups you are so used to receive from the large American coffe companies out there.

Yelp Review 2025 #197:…read more Located in Santos Dumont Airport on the same floor as check-in and ticketing, look to your left and you'll see this Starbucks before heading to security. I grabbed some breakfast before getting on my flight to São Paulo. I already knew what I wanted to get before coming here. I wanted food and drink that are uniquely Brazilian. Pao de Queijo: They're the mini version. You get about 10-12 pieces. They're warm but slightly drier than regular size pao de queijo. Coxinha: About 6 mini pieces with chicken and cream cheese filling. Easier to eat because they're bite-size. Maracuja Frappuccino: Passionfruit in Frappuccino form. It's mildly sweet. I forgot to ask for no whipped cream but oh well. The whipped cream is drizzled with Passionfruit syrup and has passionfruit seeds on top. As in true Starbucks fashion (even in the US), be prepared to have your name pronounced differently. They have free Wi-Fi with pretty good connection.

There was only one large table where you could set up to do some work which you had your food or drink.

Starbucks in Brasil has a few different food items such as a classic, pão de queijo and mini coxinhas.
