Bar Cafezinho

For a coffee stop, choose Brazilian Santos coffee or cafezinho, traditionally enjoyed with plenty of sugar. One visitor found the Santos coffee rich and satisfying; another said the cafezinho brought Brazilian coffee to mind. The same drink can make a different impression depending on how you take it. Cafe com leite, a milky coffee made with cafezinho, is also on offer, so you can choose between a robust cup and something softer.

Breakfast brings lighter options such as buttered, jam or cheese toast. One visitor enjoyed coffee, toast and a boiled egg, making this a good place to pause over a simple breakfast. Sandwiches pair ingredients such as ham, bacon, sausage or egg with vegetables and cheese; there is also a special sandwich with cheese, ham and egg. A visitor who tried the mortadela sandwich on a warmed baguette found it filling, making it another option when you want bread and its filling to take centre stage.

For a taste of Brazilian cooking, try feijoada: black beans simmered with several kinds of meat, served over rice. A visitor from Brazil wrote that their first taste of coxinha and feijoada was moving, making these dishes particularly evocative of the restaurant’s character. Coxinha is a chicken croquette, listed in a portion of 2. Other choices include linguiça, a Brazilian sausage, and a salad made with palm hearts, extending the menu beyond coffee and light bites.

Breakfast and lunch menus are available, and guests can dine in. Bar Cafezinho is in Shimogamo Nishihonmachi. The listing says it is closed on Tuesdays and open on other days from 8:30 to 17:00. Cash only is listed, so it is worth checking payment options before you go.
