For more than a century, Confeitaria Cavé is a mandatory stop for anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro’s downtown. As you walk through the door you are taken back in time, reliving the carioca Belle Époque of gentlemen in suits, a time when fast-food chains and the rush of everyday life didn't even exist.
ESTABLISHED ON 05 MARCH 1860, CONFEITARIA CAVÉ IS THE OLDEST COFFEE AND PASTRY SHOP IN RIO DE JANEIRO. IT WAS FOUNDED BY CHARLES AUGUSTE CAVÉ, A FRENCHMAN WHO STAYED IN CHARGE OF THE BUSINESS UNTIL 1922. SINCE THEN MANY OWNERS TOOK CHARGE OF THE HOUSE.
It was impossible to pass through the corner of Uruguaiana and Sete de Setembro streets without taking a look inside the beautiful building to see the wonderfully ornate ice-cream bowls which seemed more like a work of art. They were so magical and amazing, that used to whet the appetite of even those who did not appreciate ice cream.
The architecture was influenced by various countries: chandeliers and glassware from France, custom chairs and tables were designed by the spaniard Cólon, wall lights from Brazil etc. The lines and shapes were also used to create its famous ice creams reminding chickens, pyramids and peach basket.
Confeitaria Cavé has always been frequented by figures of the city, sharing the hall with the locals. There are reports that the Mayor Pereira Passos, responsible for an urban reform that completely changed the city landscape, was a habitué of the house.
