Momo Gelato Copacabana Palace

The best dessert and one of the best meals I had during my 8 days in Rio. Ordered the Gelato con Waffle expecting a waffle cone but the scoop came out on an actual waffle. The lightest, fluffiest waffle I have ever had. The light saltiness of the waffle contrasted perfectly with the sweetness of the gelato, which was also amazing. And they make real coffe here, not the machine stuff that's served everywhere else. Atmosphere is super cute and relaxing.

Very good selection of very tasty Gelato. Nice indoor and outdoor seating spaces. Service was just OK.

Ordered an iced matcha latte here 22R, it was pretty bad but happy to have gotten a matcha somewhere

Such a vibey little coffee shop! Great atmosphere to hang out or enjoy a nice fica. The coffee is spot on and they have so many delicious sweet treats to choose from, including a variety of gelato flavors that are hard to resist. Perfect place for a mid-day pick-me-up or an after-dinner dessert stop! It’s located at the Copacabana Palace. Try it out! It was packed when we were there, but we’ll go back a second time to see the day time vibe.

A gelateria located in the Copacabana Palace Hotel, but the entrance is on the street, not inside the hotel. The dark chocolate was very rich and decadent. The pistachio was creamy with real pistachio flavor and nuts, which is not always easy to find. The maracuya (passion fruit) was perfectly tart with tiny seeds that pop in your mouth when you bite into them. Nice space inside to sit and look across the street where the beach is located.

This gelataria, Sorveteria Momo Gelato is located in the magnificent building of Copacabana Palace Hotel. The servers were morose and lacked any enthusiasm to perform their job of serving ice cream. Payment was taken ahead of selection of the ice cream. Even though the cashier and the ice cream server were stood no more than a metre apart, for some reason you had to show your receipt to the server. I could understand this if it was a busy time but when we were there we were the only people at the counter. We hadn’t understood that there was a different price for some of the ice cream flavours, which were their “specials”. We paid for two tubs with three scoops, only to find out that some of the flavours we were after were only available if you paid more. We both had one scoop of Romeo e Juliana it was slavered with fruity thick sauce My husband also has fragola and mango, which were both refreshingly fruity. I had pistachio persa, which was deliciously nutty and creamy. The real star of the show for me was my last selection Momo Bambino, this was a magnificent mix of vanilla, slavers of chocolate, chocolate and nuts. I wish I had asked for this as my first scoop so it could be savoured at the bottom of the tub. Instead I had to navigate around it so that it was the last mouthful.

They offer a variety of unique Brazilian ice cream flavors; however, the amount served in a scoop is quite small. It felt like I received only two flat tablespoons of ice cream, and it cost me 25.00. Even in Italy, ice cream is typically served in larger portions.

Every single day on my trip to Copacabana I visited this place. Ice cream is great, atmosphere is great, staff is great! Unwind for a few moments in this superb spot on Copacabana beach (Copacabana Palace Hotel)!
