Luxury Apartments and Penthouses in Rio de Janeiro

Having a good cup of coffee is one of my favourite pleasures. I always go to Confeiteria Colombo, when i have a chance. It is an elegant 'Art Nouveau' cafe, inaugurated in the center of Rio de Janeiro at the end of the 19th century. You can have a good cup of coffee or tea sitting around an old marble table. Althought they offer a good selection of salty snacks, they are specialized in all kind of cakes and sweets; my favourite one is the 'Folhado de Nozes' that is a puff pastry of walnuts in the perfect point of sweetness.
The stained glass roof, the big mirrors, the tables, the service.. take me to a past time. I reccommend to go there always from Monday to Friday in office time.
