Carioca Breezy

Garden Lounge Café - Sete Cidades, Azores

A home garden café initiated by residents

Carioca Breezy is a community-based initiative, a vibrant garden lounge café nestled in our home at the heart of Sete Cidades, blending the laid-back spirit of Rio’s beach culture with the natural charm and abundance of the Azores. More than just a café, it’s a place for renewal—serving handcrafted açaí bowls with an Azorean twist and refreshing iced teas made from São Miguel’s native herbs. Created and and built with our own hands using repurposed materials, Carioca Breezy offers a relaxed, eco-conscious space where travelers and residents can pause, recharge, and reconnect with the moment. Whether you’re sipping tea beneath the crater’s sky, journaling in a quiet corner, or simply enjoying the breeze to the sound of a curated Brazilian-Azorean playlist, this is a place where time slows down and island life truly begins.

“Built by us, shaped by community, and wrapped in the breeze of a volcanic crater, this is more than a café—it’s a gentle rebellion against the rush. You’re not just welcome. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be”

- Fred & Veronika

Carioca Breezy Menu

Where Azorean flavors meet tropical soul.

At Carioca Breezy, every bite is a journey—from the Amazon to the Atlantic. Savor silky açaí topped with São Miguel’s golden honey and sun-ripened bananas. Toast your morning with volcanic coffee brewed in a Moka pot or sip iced tea infused with Azorean herbs and passion fruit.

Craving something warm? Try our crater-melted hot chocolate or the shared meals slow-cooked on the fire pit. From pão de queijo bursting with local cheese to tropical lemonades and picnic baskets by the lake, every flavor tells a story—one born of volcanic soil, island sun, and a little Carioca soul.
