\"vitoria<\/p>\n

When visiting Brazil, tourists may never hear about Vit\u00f3ria, the island where you\u2019ll find the capital Esp\u00edrito Santo. It boasts Brazil\u2019s largest urban mangrove, which together with the water, vegetation, and local fauna makes for a unique ecosystem: a boat ride around the island is a perfect way to see it all together. Vit\u00f3ria is also perhaps the capital that is closest to a specialty coffee producing area, taking less than a two-hour drive to get to the small farms of the mountains of Esp\u00edrito Santo. Thankfully, you don\u2019t even have to leave the city for good coffee: we have selected these fine coffee shops for you to drink a nice cup and be merry on the island.<\/p>\n

Kaffa Cafeteria<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vagner Benezath and his mother, Carmen Benezath, founded Kaffa<\/a> in 2010, close to a university area where bars were way more common than coffee shops. Carmen is a nutritionist and a culinary chef, so she took charge of the food offerings, and Vagner is the lead barista and coffee curator. From the beginning, they offered coffee-focused classes, which were fundamental in bringing more people from Vit\u00f3ria into the specialty coffee spectrum. Although the younger Benezath is a partner at Trentino<\/a>, a Vit\u00f3ria-based roastery, Kaffa has multiple offerings from roasteries that source coffees from regions other than Esp\u00edrito Santo.<\/p>\n

Kaffa has a variety of coffee options as well as a lunch menu that changes seasonally. A good bet for dessert\u2014or well, breakfast\u2014is the artisanal bolo de c\u00f4co (cold coconut cake) with one of the pour-over options.<\/p>\n

Kaffa is located at R. Darcy Grij\u00f3, 50 \u2013 03\/04 \u2013 Jardim da Penha, Vit\u00f3ria<\/a>. Follow them on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, and Instagram<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Tulha Cafeteria<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jo\u00e3o Vitor Ribeiro says Tulha<\/a> is the result of his culinary school term paper. He has always liked coffee, but it was not until he was studying cooking that he started to go after further education on the subject. He took some barista courses and then realized that his college final paper could unite two of his favorite things: food creations and coffee. He founded Tulha in 2018, and since the beginning has been making everything from scratch: from cinnamon rolls to cheesecakes and sourdough toasts.<\/p>\n

To pair with the delicious pastries, the coffee: Ribeiro works mainly with Trentino due to its proximity and the possibility to tailor the origins and roasts to Tulha\u2019s needs; however, he always offers beans from other roasteries as well. Don\u2019t leave without trying their passionfruit tonic, made with passionfruit syrup, tonic water, and cold brew. Ribeiro is Brazil\u2019s 2018 AeroPress champion, so, needless to say, ordering an AeroPress is also a safe bet.<\/p>\n

Tulha is located at R. Belmiro Teixeira Pimenta, 513 \u2013 loja 5 \u2013 Jardim Camburi, Vit\u00f3ria<\/a>. Follow them on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Caf\u00e9 495<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lucas Trist\u00e3o Ferreira started out as a barista at Kaffa, and when he realized he wanted to do that for the rest of his life, he invested his life savings on barista and sensory courses and then on founding Caf\u00e9 495<\/a> in 2017. Located at Praia do Canto, a beach not suitable for swimming but famous instead for standup paddling and other beach sports, the coffee shop charms neighborhood patrons as well as the beach crowd.<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 495 is very proud of its artisanal bread line: everything is made in their recently renovated kitchen. And, to beat the capital\u2019s heat, go with their famous drink Espresso 2222: coconut water, rangpur lime syrup, ice, and a shot of espresso.<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 495 is located at R. Joaquim L\u00edrio \u2013 Praia do Canto, Vit\u00f3ria<\/a>. Follow them on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Zayin Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Danielle Segovia and Rafael Victor Pereira founded Zayin<\/a> in 2015, aiming to, in their own words, \u201cbring a cozy feeling back to Vit\u00f3ria\u2019s downtown.\u201d They carefully source their coffee from Trentino, and offer espresso-based drinks as well as filtered methods, the AeroPress being the most ordered.<\/p>\n

The owners have an array of sweet and savory pastry options made with matzah flour\u2014a note to their Jewish upbringing. They are proud to bring these and other Jewish-influenced foods to their patrons, most of whom are not acquainted with Jewish cuisine.<\/p>\n

To pair with the coffee, go for the p\u00e3o de queijo<\/em> (gluten-free cheese bread\u2014not yet a Jewish staple) filled with guava jam. You won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n

Zayin Caf\u00e9 is located at R. Graciano Neves, 99 \u2013 Loja 5 \u2013 Centro, Vit\u00f3ria<\/a>. Visit their official website<\/a> and follow them on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Trentino Caf\u00e9s Especiais<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trentino<\/a> is not a coffee shop, but worth mentioning here since it is the only quality-focused roastery in the greater Vit\u00f3ria area. Jonathan Piazarollo is the head roaster and has been working with coffee since 1994, first as a producer and then as a roaster and educator, while Vagner Benezath (from Kaffa) recently joined as his wholesale and marketing partner. Together, they have been able to strengthen the specialty coffee scene in Vit\u00f3ria to a whole new level, bringing higher quality coffee to unusual places such as the capital\u2019s airport in a small kiosk and small bakeries, cocktail bars, and food joints across the city. Besides supplying the coffee, they offer barista training courses at the roastery and regularly promote trips to visit Esp\u00edrito Santo farms and the producers they partner with. The Vit\u00f3ria coffee scene wouldn\u2019t be what it is today without Piazarollo and Benezath\u2019s effort to bring sensibly sourced coffee to restaurants, bakeries, and small cafes all across the capital Vit\u00f3ria as well as the state of Esp\u00edrito Santo.<\/p>\n

Trentino Caf\u00e9s Especiais is located at R. Dr. Dido Fontes, 407 \u2013 sala 02 \u2013 Jardim da Penha, Vit\u00f3ria<\/a>. Visit their official website<\/a> and follow them on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/div>\n
