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 .

I am visiting Rio from out of town and was surprised to find a place that is open 24 hours. I came…read morehere after a night out with my friend, so needless to say we were very happy to stumble across a place that has so many options! We were very hungry so we got a few different things each. The service at first was very slow and disorderly, as they have to weigh and price most things individually (using a lot of styrofoam), but for a middle-of-the-night snack, it hit the spot! Some of the sweets I got were a bit stale, or perhaps the texture just wasn't what I was expecting. But the pão de queijo was good! It wasn't too expensive for everything that we got. There wasn't much competition for the middle of the night, so I would probably return here, and I would recommend this place to others.

Yelp Review 2025 #177:…read more I was going to a more popular cafe a minute away from Casa Cave but they don't open til 11am so, I was going to pre-game here. There was a line with 5 people ahead of me but since I was dining solo, I got to skip the line and the doorman let me go in and hands me a card to take to the cashier. But not knowing Portuguese and them not knowing English, it was confusing. I got a table but it hasn't been cleaned yet but I sat my bag down while looking at the food display. I went up to the counter with the older lady cashiers and placed my order and paid. What I ordered were readily available and don't require cooking but I only received one item. So, I pulled out Google Translate to let them know I was missing parts of my order and only received one item. A few minutes later, I got everything I ordered. And you know when people are talking about you in a different language? That was the vibe I got here. Pastel de Nata: They got an award for their pastel de nata so, my expectations were pretty high. It was ok. They could've warmed it up before serving and offered sugar and cinnamon but nope. I've had better. 3/5 Passionfruit Juice: It tasted fresh. A nice balance of tart and sweet. 4/5 Bolinho de Bacalhau: Fried cod fritter. Tasty, crunchy on the outside. 3.5/5 Coxinha: I love this stuff. It's one of my favorite Brazilian food. Like a fried croquette shaped like a teardrop filled with chicken and cream cheese. 4/5 There's a review site that claims this place is cash only - not true. But I got cash with me when I went here.

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.

Well apparently everyone reviewed the bakery and I should have just eaten the bread. I instead went…read moreto the restaurant side and had lunch at the per kilo buffet. They were running out of the popular items like breaded chicken and you had to line up separately and request sliced steak from the grill if you wanted something hot other wise they had a selection of rice, pasta, vegetables, salads, salmon, bolhinhos, beans, and the typical offering at a per kilo place. As expected, the flavor was average. I also tried the in-house mate, not quite the same flavor as mate Leao. With big but heavy plates, a paltry serving can easily run R$30. The best part of it was the dessert which was separate. The chocolate mil folhas was rich and tasty. The pastry itself was still quite crispy and fresh, so I can see how the pastries, desserts and bakery items are lauded. The shop next to the restaurants which you're obligated to walk through had a good selection of beer, cheeses and other specialty items, all for a hefty price. I did try a lata of Rio cha verde with lychee (can of green tea with lychee) which was delicious. Next time I'll have to have breakfast as the other yelpers recommended.

Confeitaria Colombo at Forte de Copacabana is an absolute must-visit in Rio.

This century-old café is full of history, and having coffee here with a breathtaking view of Ipanema Beach and Sugarloaf Mountain is simply unforgettable. The ocean breeze makes everything feel extra special, and the service was excellent from start to finish. After eating, it's the perfect spot to continue your day with a walk along Copacabana or a visit to the fort museum right next door. I came with my family and had the chance to try several dishes. The cappuccino was outstanding, with the perfect balance of sweetness and a warm touch of cinnamon. The American toast with jam was delicious, and we also tried the pistachio éclair, which was very good, although it tasted more like a creamy filling than a strong pistachio flavor. The pastel de nata was small but really tasty as well. My favorite, though, was the "Queijo do Forte," a breaded brie that was absolutely incredible. The Assado de Gorgonzola was also perfectly prepared, full of rich flavor, and the meat was cooked just right. As a final highlight, I loved being able to enjoy a truly fresh natural orange juice with lunch -- something I really miss when I'm abroad. A perfect mix of food, tradition, and one of the best views in Rio.
