Added 2022-02-09 19:22:36 +0000 UTCConfeitaria Colombo was founded in 1894 by “Portuguese immigrants Joaquim Borges de Meireles and Manuel José Lebrão. Its architecture, inspired by the European cafes, was representative of Rio de Janeiro's belle époque. Between 1912 and 1918, the interior halls were renovated with an Art Nouveau flair, with large crystal mirrors brought from Antwerp, framed by rosewood trim friezes.” My friends and I were there around 10.45am. Turned out the cafe opens at 11am. We decided to walk around while waiting for it to open. We came back at 11.10am..and there was already a LONG Line of people waiting. By 11.30am the whole place was FULL. IT is amazing.
