City Guide
An early, selective guide to Brazilian coffee bars and roasters between Centro and the South Zone.
This early Rio guide starts in Centro and will expand selectively across coffee-first South Zone and downtown stops.
This is an early guide, not a complete map of Rio's specialty coffee scene. Curto Café is the only reviewed stop so far, which is not enough coverage for a city with strong coffee rooms in both Centro and the South Zone.
