Nestled in the vibrant heart of Ipanema, Aussie Coffee is a hidden gem that beckons coffee lovers and casual visitors alike. Tucked away down a long corridor at R. Visc. de Pirajá, this café offers an inviting atmosphere where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the chatter of locals and tourists. The owner, Daniel Hobbs, an Australian who has called Rio home for over a decade, has crafted a space that feels both welcoming and uniquely Australian, making it a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a taste of quality coffee and community.

Aussie Coffee is not just about coffee; it’s an experience that tantalizes the taste buds. The café serves a variety of drinks, but two standout offerings are the oat cappuccino and the iced latte. The oat cappuccino is expertly crafted, boasting a rich, creamy texture that perfectly balances the robust coffee flavor. Meanwhile, the iced latte is refreshingly smooth, making it an ideal choice for the warm Rio climate. 

Food lovers will also be delighted by the menu, featuring dishes like the avocado toast, topped with scrambled eggs and a side of pico de gallo. This dish, while a twist on the traditional Australian style, is bursting with flavor, especially when paired with the café's homemade spicy sauce. Each bite is a testament to the café's commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring that every meal is as memorable as the coffee.

What truly sets Aussie Coffee apart is its vibrant community atmosphere. The café is often bustling with patrons working on laptops, enjoying the fast Wi-Fi, or simply soaking in the ambiance. Daniel’s passion for coffee and his commitment to quality are evident in every cup served. A fun fact: the café’s unique location down a long corridor adds to its charm, making it feel like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. 

The friendly staff, fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, ensures that everyone feels at home, further enhancing the welcoming vibe of the café. Whether you're a local or a traveler, you’ll find a place to relax and enjoy your time at Aussie Coffee.

Aussie Coffee is renowned for its exceptional coffee quality and a warm, inviting atmosphere that fosters community engagement.

During my staying in Rio I have tried almost all the specialty coffee place on my list, and if some had a slightly better product or execution, Aussie offered me the best experience.

The place plays a league on his own, it’s not perfect but works perfectly.

You dont find people just having coffee, you can feel the community around the place, with people working, studying and enjoying their time (and of course coffee).

Talking about machinery, Aussie has a pretty good setup and I can tell the owner has been really creative about finding the right solution for the space.

The food is awesome too, so I would recommend to not stop just for the caffeine.

In conclusion, when I look for a coffee I look for more than the product itself. Aussie perfectly embodies this concept, giving you a really good coffee and great vibes.

A Hidden Gem for Coffee Lovers – Aussie Coffee

I recently discovered Aussie Coffee, and it instantly became my new favorite spot! Finding a place with truly great coffee has been a challenge, but this café exceeded all my expectations. Their cappuccinos and lattes are simply outstanding—rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted. The ingredients are fresh and homemade, making every bite of their food just as impressive as the coffee.

Beyond the amazing flavors, what sets Aussie Coffee apart is its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and speaks Portuguese, Spanish, and English, making everyone feel at home. The owner, a passionate Australian who loves Rio, is always around, adding a personal touch to the experience.

With its affordable prices, high-quality offerings, and a clear vision for growth, I see huge potential for this café to become a must-visit spot in the city. If you’re a coffee lover looking for a place that truly cares about quality and service, Aussie Coffee is the place to be! Highly recommended!

I ordered avocado toast with scrambled eggs and pico de gallo on the side + an iced latte (paid R53). Also, we were a group of 11 people.

During my first visit to Aussie Coffee in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, I arrived directly from the airport, eager for a quality caffeine fix. The owner, Daniel Hobbs, an Australian who has been living in Rio for over a decade, warmly welcomed me, unfazed by my suitcase. ￼

I started with an oat cappuccino, which was perfectly crafted. Impressed, I also tried their avocado toast and matcha latte. The avocado toast deviated from the typical Australian style but was delightful, especially with their homemade spicy sauce. Since that first experience, I’ve returned daily for coffee that rivals my favorite spots in NYC.

Tucked away down a long corridor, this Australian-style coffee shop is a hidden gem in Rio. It’s usually bustling with locals and tourists, but the quick turnover ensures seating is readily available. Many patrons work on laptops, taking advantage of the fast, reliable internet. Daniel’s music selection adds to the top-notch ambiance.

The service is both kind and friendly. Daniel, fluent in both English and Portuguese, leads a Brazilian team, many of whom speak English, making communication effortless.

In my quest for exceptional coffee in Ipanema and across Rio, Aussie Coffee stands out as the best. For fellow coffee enthusiasts, this spot is a must-visit.

Great stop. Cortado has a such a strong chocolately undertone. We had to come back to experience the flavors again.

It gets cozy in here. Wifi isn’t always reliable. Sweet staff.

Hidden down a long corridor just as the name implies. You'll find a good coffee shop filled with tourists, locals and expats. Food menu exceeded expectations and they had a nice cold brew. Bonus points for their house made hot sauce.  Great staff and  service
