Cafecito

Rio de Janeiro has traditionally been lacking coffee shops that have gone beyond with-or-without-milk, but this Argentine-owned spot in leafy Santa Teresa is one spot where a good cappuccino or cafe latte is guaranteed. Perfectly positioned on a picturesque balcony overlooking Santa Teresa's busiest street for drinking and dining, this is a great place for people watchers, and the range of sandwiches and breads makes it a good spot for a light lunch or late breakfast. There's a good range of cocktails and imported beers too, making it a popular option for early drinks before a night out in Santa Teresa or nearby Lapa.
