If you can't score a sidewalk table, you can settle in at the countertop bar area. Just don't expect perfectly clean seating and surface areas. If you can get past that, the coffee is on point, the OJ is freshly squeezed and the pão na chapa with queijo minas is solid. Anyone with a hankering for sweets will succumb to the many dulcet bready options. The other plus is this place serves as a small grocery as well, so you can stock up on items to fill your pantry while you enjoy your café de manhã.

They had little heart-shaped cookies stuffed with goiabada but there were only mediocre in taste but really cute in presentation.

The have great sandwiches, salads, antipasto and Brazilian hors d'oeuvres. This is our second day eating here . We ordered the quinoa salad which was fresh simple and delicious. We also ordered the La Marie without cream cheese, you can upgrade your bread doe &3 and we ordered the multigrain which is wholesome and nutty. The hummus is insanely good and you can buy the bread on the side . They have a nice and unique wine selection at a affordable price. You can sit down and enjoy yourself. The staff is very helpful and attentive and the food come out quick . They do not have an English menu but you can figure out or you can ask for the free wifi pass and translate .

There's nothing pretentious about Clipper, but if you want to have an awesome "Bauru" sandwich, some cod croquettes, and an ice cold draft Antartica, this is your place! Things get packed at night, and especially so during soccer games - so plan accordingly. They have waiters who know what's good to get, so if you are undecided, just ask. Clipper is located two blocks from the beach, and right next to the Cinema Leblon, so there's lots to do before or after you indulge. So awesome!

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.
