"The acclaimed, naturally fermented bread is available wholesale, but you should go straight to the source at the Slow Bakery. The airy space, in the residential Botafogo neighborhood, is the perfect place to enjoy freshly baked sourdough loaves, ciabatta, and baguettes. They also serve a menu of sandwiches, tartines (try the one with goat cheese and roasted tomatoes), coffee, and much more. The bakery also has two other branches in the city: one with a more industrial vibe in Jardim Botânico and a cozy location in Leblon." - Rafael Tonon

Amazing bakery. We went here multiple times while in Rio and every time it was great. All the dishes we tried were amazing and their bread and pastries were great. This is by far the best bakery in Rio and a level above the rest. Their croissants are good, the BLT was really nice with thick cut bacon and the coffee is great. This bakery would hold it’s own even in cities like London and Melbourne. I highly recommend

Definitely a must to try this when in Rio. This place is very passionate about what they do and you can not only taste it, but also feel it. My favorite was the french toast. Ate it too many times

Wonderful little bakery an easy and safe walk from the local train station. Firstly the inviting smell once inside and friendly service, including English friendly. I had the croque and it was sensational, is this the best I've had 🤔 I'd say a resounding yes! The sourness if the bread is spot on, the ham is the right kind without the strong flavour and paired with the right amount of cheese. The coffee is quite good as well, good standard flavour from Brazilian coffee.

I wanted to go to a nice cafe in São Paulo and here I found :) Their pao de quejio & pulled pork sandwich was so delicious! I love the ambient of this cafe very much, spacious, high ceiling and lots of greens. I’d def come back next time I visit São Paulo!

Even tho the quality of the bread is good, the pricing is ridiculous. We went to buy focaccia and they gave us a 2 (!) DAYS OLD piece for 28 reais, while in other places the fresh one is cheaper, or 50% for the yesterday batch. Very unexpected and disappointing

So happy I found this bakery! We went back a few times for the fresh sourdough and brunch.

Wide selection of yummy baked goods! Recommend Went in a Sunday for brunch. Immediately brought inside to a waiting area and then seated at a table for 3 in about 5 minutes. Ordered Eggs Benedict (served on great brioche), Croque Madame (decent, not the absolute best I’ve had), PBJ served on sourdough and toasted (probably the best) and a cold brew, and Vietnamese coffee (too sweet, coffee not bitter enough). Service was efficient, staff spoke enough English to communicate. Prices are reasonable by US standards ($30 for everything, about 200 reals) Would recommend for brunch!

A must visit! The ambiance is like an old, small rustic warehouse that operates as a bakery. The serve fresh, artisanal baked goods - sweet and savoury - fruit jams, cheeses, butter, wine, olive oil, nuts, and more! I just wish they had decaf coffee and pure chai. The cinnamon roll was good, very different flavor than normal. It is like a mature cinnamon roll. The chocolate banana bread is very rich. The dark chocolate is intense and mature. It isn't a super sweet bread. Also, they have wifi, a range of snacks and meals with their baked bread, and beverages. I bought so much.
