Frequently asked questions
- Are there other Cafeína branches still operating in Rio?
- The brand had multiple addresses over the years, but you should verify any specific branch on a live map before going. Don't assume other locations survived just because one address appears in an old guide.
- Why is this page still listed if the café closed?
- Because people still search for it from old articles and guidebooks. We'd rather tell you honestly that it's gone than let you waste a morning.
- Is Cafeína in Ipanema still open?
- No — the location at Rua Farme de Amoedo 43 is marked permanently closed on major listing sites. Treat any guide recommending it as out of date.

- General Osório metro station is about a five-minute walk. The street runs from the square straight down to Ipanema beach.
