Known fortraditional caféLapabudgetauthentic
A no-frills but characterful café in the gritty and vibrant Lapa neighborhood, popular with artists, musicians, and locals who appreciate honest coffee and a genuine slice of Rio street life. The espresso is strong and cheap, and the pastries are freshly made each morning. It is best visited during the day as the neighborhood dynamic shifts significantly at night.
