Sofá Café

Rio de Janeiro


You'll find Copacabana's best coffee inside this roomy and atmospheric coffeehouse – part of a chain. You select your beans and your preferred method of preparation (Siphon, Chemex, French press, AeroPress etc), and there are plenty of iced options for those hot and steamy days.

When hunger strikes, Sofá serves sandwiches (with creative varieties like eggplant marinade and fresh cheese) as well as salads, omelets and desserts.
