LF Café & Bistrô

They have 8/9 tables, some with four seats and some with two. So, they fill up quickly; you will have to wait a bit if you get there and they are full. The food and drinks are all delicious. They have many fresh juice options that are worth trying. We loved the bruschetta, the fresh salad, and the mushroom risotto.

Tried the tapioca with ham and cheese - first time. It was amazing and interesting. I had a cappuccino which was awesome. But I ordered another coffee. This time round I tried the Irish coffee and it was a hit. The cream and everything was so smooth and good. The staff is friendly and nice too!

1st time in Brazil. Just stopped by for a quick bit to eat. Venue has dining inside and out. Server was helpful. Accepts Apple Pay.

Good place. Coffee was delicious and the orange juice really tasted like orange juice. Was very clean, spaces were decorated beautifully and loved the vibe.

This place is such a vibe. It's small, antique looking and feeling. Lots of Italian inspiration. I ordered the small coffee shot, cranberry sofa soda, and artesanal apple pie. They offer decaf coffee and lactose free milk which is awesome. The coffee shot was really good and had a rim of chocolate. It wasn't very burnt tasting or anything and it had that nice crema layer you expect with a shot pour. The cranberry soda was sweet and refreshing. And the apple pie was meh, not so good, but you could tell it was handmade and natural. The vegetarian lasagna is VEGETARIAN not vegan...it has cheese but it's so good. The sauce is flavorful, the vegetables inside are delicious ...just good. I also ordered a monitor which was super refreshing. Not too sweet nor too alcoholic...just right truly. The service was awesome. The small cafe was quite busy and poor guy was running around trying to help everyone but when he arrived at the table he was patient and friendly. And you can see their personalities, they aren't stuffy or anything.

Stayed in Copacabana for a week and I came here almost everyday either for lunch or dinner. The coffee was delicious and so were the pastries and empanadas. I recommend getting the seafood spaghetti! Most importantly, we had a great server. I forgot his name but his energy was very welcoming and sweet.

We stayed in Rio for three nights and we came here twice. We actually wanted to go another day but it was booked out and even 11 people were waiting. The coffee is great and also the food 👌🏾 the staff is super friendly 5* when you get a seat outside you can even enjoy people passing by. I will come back

This little bistro is just off the main street. It has a nice little outdoor patio, and a cozy little indoors. They have a surprisingly good collection of craft beers. And a small but decent wine list. The staff is a bit under, so my tip would be if you sit outside, order at the counter. It'll move things along.

It's right next-door to our hotel the Porto Bay and this place serves us a breakfast this morning was just out of this world manager the guy that was really nice. The food was great. I recommend this place to anybody in the area.

Very unique experience here. Our main dish was not so good but the dessert very good. We both ordered pan pizzas with onion, mushrooms, and I got pepperoni and my wife bacon. We both asked for extra sauce. Our pizzas came with no sauce, uncooked onions and mushrooms, and hard bacon bits and mine sliced hot dogs. Not impressed. We decided to throw caution to the wind and ordered dessert of cheese ice cream with guava. It was delicious so kind of redeemed the meal. Service was hit or miss. Our server went missing at the end so we had to ask the other server for our bill multiple times.

Love this quiet place. Great place for breakfast with an attentive staff. Much much better than any hotel restaurant breakfast buffet with people climbing on top of each other.

A staple in the Copacabana area of Brazil. I highly recommend making a stop here for a quick coffee and or dessert. They also offer many breakfast options and plenty of seating for anyone in the area. My favorite would have to be the empanada. It was warmed up and had the right amount of crunch and softness. This place definitely got the job done!

Some say if you don't have enough Brigadeiro (chocalate golf ball size dessert) guests may leave your special event early! I had breakfast here daily and was greeted with warm hospitality and smiles. I ordered the Brigadeiro which was simply amazing, coffee, tea, the LF breakfast platter which includes a bread basket, jam, papaya, ham/cheese, orange juice, tea and sweet bread. The breakfast platter can feed two! The sweet bread and the papaya (in season) were the standouts from the platter. The sweet bread was moist and had a balanced sweetness with a soft cornbread texture. On other occasions, I stopped at the cafe for the tomato quiche and other pastries. The flavors and presentation of all the food was consistent. Lastly the decadent rich flavor of the hot chocolate is a must try. Treat yourself!

A cute little Coffee shop located in the Copacabna! We came here for the desserts, specifically the for the brigadeiros, which are like golf-ball sized deserts with filling inside. As soon as you walk in, you can see a bunch of them on the glass. There are many different types and it's definitely hard to choose just one type. We ended up getting 3 different ones just to try out. They were definitely very sweet once you bite into them. Super Well made though, and they were essentially filled with caramel cores along with other super sweet fillings. The service was super nice as well & the ambiance. We came here for sweets and we left happy

The food is amazing! The people are so nice. I highly recommend coming here it is the best food I've had in Rio so far :)

The place is beautiful and reminded me of the french cafes, but the Copacabana Breakfast doesn't seem like Copacabana at all. The bread was too tosted, the cake was too dry with no sugar on top and that small hotel butter cups isn't nice for a 30 reais meal, I think a slice of cheese is not that much expensive. But the coffee is good though.

Great little cafe with an assortment of coffee, juice and great empanadas and other food. Could use a second server as they get busy.

Cute little cafe down the street from my hotel on Copacabana Beach. The coffee was on point and their pastries were so delicious! Loved the decor and the service was great!

Finally found a great coffee place in rio! Really good coffee and great sandwiches. I highly recommend it to anyone passing by!

What a great little café. It was a rainy day so I decided to stop in have a coffee and read my book. I ordered a Vienense (espresso, hot chocolate and whiskey) I had them add whipped cream on too and it was delightful. For food I ordered a simple waffle which was simple yet perfect. Highly recommend this place. The other patrons food looked delicious and the staff was very kind. They spoke a little English which made it easy to order. I will be back tomorrow for another coffee and to try something else off the menu. Great find!!!

If you're looking for a coffee place that feels like home! This is the one! A smiling stuff, quiet place, and of course most importantly- GOOOOD COFFEE! And so close to the beach

This place is a real gem. It's around the corner from our hotel and in three days we've been twice. There's great service, even greater food and it has adorable ambiance. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with quite possibly the best empenadas ever. Come from a meal or a snack you will not be disappointed.
