Very good--probably the Levain Bakery of Rio, including NYC prices at more than $5 US per cookie which is why it missed a fifth star from me!!....the sliced cake with guava filling looks delicious and runs about $6 US. Cute layout and ambiance with outdoor seating available.

Here's my two cents on the food in a little bit of chatter. I ordered two chocolate eclair and four…read morepieces of cake. I was surprised about the chocolate eclairs because the eclairs was filled with a chocolate filling not the usual European or American type filling.it was good though. The cakes were a chocolate cake and the other one was a coconut Caramell type cake. I found the cake very delicious wonderful to the pallet but not as sweet as you find in the United States. For the six pieces of bakery goods I paid 90 reals....or about $20.00 US a bit pricey. The ladies were quite pleasant and helpful even though they could not speak any English.

Sweets heaven! I wish I discovered this place sooner than later. Ironically, we stumbled into this…read moretreasure in our last day in Rio. So sad. Anyway, took advantage and ordered samples of cookies and brownies. The coconut brownie was heaven in my mouth. The basic brownie was oh so good. Let the honey sample the cookies and he liked them. I think we got the macadamia Choco chip and oatmeal. He said it was good but kept getting sweeter with every bite. No worries, nothing a cafe con leiche (coffee with milk) can't fix and of course a bottle of water. The presentation is so pretty and the place itself was so colorful yet cozy. The display was set in such a way that it is not overwhelming but you want everything. The place is small but there is always people in and out. Eat your sweets, drink your coffee and off your merry way you go. Parking, can be difficult, which can be the norm in Copa. We walked here anyways, so we did not have that issue. The service is good. I just really adore this cute "tea" place. Like everything in Rio, this place has a place in my heart.
