Best Café Store in Rio

Undoubtedly the best place in Rio to drink a “specialty coffee”. And not just any specialty coffee: the best specialty coffees in Brazil, carefully selected in the regions of “Caparaó” ("Matas de Minas" and "Montanhas do Espírito Santo"), "Chapada Diamantina" (Piatã/BA) and also "Cerrado Mineiro". The only thing I miss are the coffees from the "Volcanic Region" (Poços de Caldas/MG) which, in my opinion, are quite peculiar and one of my favorites. Another interesting thing is that the store itself has a roasting plant. So every week there is a replenishment of freshly roasted coffees. As for the options, there are always some vegan chocolates and usually a vegan cake, although these don't appear labeled on the menu. You can also have a coffee with plant-based milk. They offer this substitution, and it's labeled on the menu. They could have more vegan options in the menu.

Sem dúvida alguma o melhor lugar do Rio pra se tomar um café especial. E não é qualquer café especial: são os melhores cafés especiais do Brasil selecionados criteriosamente nas regiões do Caparaó (“Matas de Minas” e “Montanhas do Espírito Santo”), “Chapada Diamantina” (Piatã/BA) e também “Cerrado Mineiro”. Só sinto falta dos cafés da “Região Vulcânica” (Poços de Caldas/MG) que, na minha opinião, são bastante peculiares e um dos meus favoritos. Outra coisa interessante é que a própria loja tem uma torrefação. Então, toda semana tem uma reposição de cafés com torra fresca. Sobre as opções, sempre existem alguns bombons veganos e normalmente tem um bolo vegano, embora essas opções não apareçam rotuladas no cardápio. É possível, também, tomar um café com leite vegetal. Eles oferecem essa substituição, e está rotulado no cardápio. Poderiam ter mais opções veganas explícitas no cardápio. #Veganuary

Great coffee!

The coffee here is amazing! Order the filter! They had no vegan cakes the day I was in but I’m not going to let that affect my review! Staff were super friendly! In Rio if you love coffee go here!

Pros: Coffee , Location, Decor
