The cafés of Rio de Janeiro are part and parcel of the city's history and remarkable culture of hospitality. Whether it is an elaborate nineteenth-century venue or a small, trendy hangout, Rio's cafés will delight your taste buds with the typically light Brazilian breakfast, delicious freshly baked pastries, and their coffee's intense aroma.

Confeitaria Colombo

Confeitaria Colombo

This historic literary café, dating back to 1894, is a part of the cultural and artistic heritage of Rio de Janeiro. Best known for a lavish Belle Époque decor that turns the clock back to the early XX century, the Confeitaria serves Brazilian and Portuguese pastries, snacks, and tea.

With various branches located across the city, Café Hum is the perfect place to take a break. It serves rich Brazilian blends as well as cappuccino and espresso, combined with delicious homemade cakes, sandwiches, waffles, and pastries.

Da Casa da Táta

Da Casa da Táta

Homey but elegant, the café Da Casa da Táta is famous for its home-baked bread, cakes, and Brazilian desserts. Locals and tourists go there in the early morning hours to taste the ultimate Brazilian breakfast, made up normally of juice, coffee, a basket of loaves of bread and a piece of cake.

Talho Capixaba

Talho Capixaba

Casa Cavé

Casa Cavé

Founded in 1860, Casa Cavé is one of the icons of Rio de Janeiro's Belle Époque period, together with Confeitaria Colombo. A visit to the city's oldest bakery, once a hangout for noblemen and politicians, offers the opportunity to travel back in time and enjoy traditional Brazilian and Portuguese pastries.

Confeitaria Kurt

Confeitaria Kurt

When in 1940 Kurt Deichmann arrived in Rio fleeing from the Nazi Regime, he probably didn't know that the confectionery he was going to open would have become the most renowned and well-regarded in all of Rio de Janeiro. Even today, Kurt's family still manage the confectionery, serving a wide variety of delicious cakes, cookies and mousses.

Empório Jardim

Empório Jardim

Elected to be serving not only the best breakfast in Rio de Janeiro but also in Brazil, Empório Jardim is the right place to start your day in the morning or to drop in at any other time.
