Épico Café: Rio's Pioneering Soul in Every Cup

As Rio de Janeiro's first artisanal specialty coffee roastery, founded in 2014, this establishment has redefined the city's coffee culture. Its soul is captured in the exclusive, award-winning "Épico Lapiano," a signature drink by barista Jonas Oliveira, celebrated in *Casa Vogue* for its unique blend of cachaça, coffee, molasses, and cinnamon. Beyond this, discover seasonal creations like the "Café Épico Tropical" smoothie, or the historical "Mazagran" iced coffee.

Innovation shines with "Café de Bolso," a compostable, single-serving drip coffee bag for ultimate portability.A deep commitment to quality is evident in its direct sourcing of award-winning, certified coffees from family farms in Minas Gerais. More than a roastery, it's a registered social impact business, prioritizing minority hiring and supporting employee education through reduced work hours.

Its cafés are thoughtfully integrated into Rio's cultural fabric, found in unique venues like the Historical Museum of the City and the Ipanema Theater. This holistic dedication extends to providing authorized technical assistance for espresso machines, truly embodying a comprehensive coffee experience.
