Café República Cup

Top choice in Porto Alegre


Army-officer-turned-barista Eurico Albrecht maintains an intimate relationship with his coffee producers; as a result, he churns out what is easily POA's best third-wave coffee (R$5 to R$24).

A long line of serious preparation methods are available, which also come emblazoned as logos on the cool, in-house coffee mugs.
