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

My AirBnb…read morewas on top of this little juice and sandwich shop, and it was the perfect place to go at any time of the day for a juice and a sandwich. In the morning they had little breads called pao de queijo which is savory Brazilian cheesebread made from cassava/tapioca flour. I also loved getting fresh acai, and sucos (juices). The sucos I tried were all fresh, and always from ripe fruit. Pitaya, papaya, maracuya (passion fruit), and peach were some of the ones I've tried. If the juices are too sour, they conveniently have sugar and a liquid 0 calorie sweetener available. They accept visa, and the workers are extremely friendly. If you are staying on Rua Rodolfo Dantas, this is a great place to go for a juice or quick bite.

Our concierge recommended Copa Lima when we asked for recommendations for some good acaí. What a great place! It's a little stand on a corner street where locals go to for coffee, snack, breakfast. Lots of locals were there getting their morning coffee. I ordered an açaí mixed with banana with granola on top...sooooooo good and fresh!! I definitely would have gone back again if I had stayed in Copacabana longer. They have a lot of pastry options too. We tried the pão de queijo and it was delicious. Cheap prices, and amazing quality for everything we got. There's no indoor or outdoor seating, since it's more of a quick stop corner stand. We took our açaí to the beach and enjoyed.

One of the…read moremost unique items on the menu was the tapioca crepe, a super chewy folded crepe made with tapioca flour batter and a choice of filling--I had the Vatapa, a shrimp cream, which had a nice savory, seafood flavor. The crepe was so chewy that it barely broke down even when thoroughly chewed, and I've never had anything quite like it! My favorite dish was the Tacaca, an intensely-flavored soup made with tucupi (a sour yellow sauce extracted from manioc), boiled tapioca starch (with a chewy jelly consistency), (very salty) dried shrimp, and jambu (an Amazonian herb that gave a numbing sensation, similar to Sichuan peppercorns). The soup was another super unique dish and was sour, salty, hot, seafoody, and earthy all at once!

What kept me coming back was the Bodybuilder Breakfast, packed with chicken breast, egg whites, and fruit. When many breakfast options around town lean heavily toward bread and carbs, it was refreshing to find a protein focused meal that fit my routine. The location is another big plus. It's within walking distance of the beach, several shopping areas, and a large open air market where you can browse everything from fresh seafood and produce to clothing, souvenirs, and household goods. Service can be a little relaxed, but the food is consistent, the atmosphere is friendly, and it's an easy place to start your day before heading out to explore Rio.
