Saboretto Cafés Especiais
SudoesteGood
Saboretto is a small café on a commercial block in Sudoeste that treats each cup as a lot with a story. Every coffee arrives with a card that names the origin, the producer, the variety, the post-harvest process, the altitude and the tasting notes. For filter the bar uses an Orea V4, a flat-bottom brewer that gives a quick, even extraction. The house bakes its own bread, the caprese toast is a regular order, and on Sundays it opens in the morning for brunch.

The Coffee Hut
Asa NorteGood
The Coffee Hut is an all-day café on the commercial block of 213 Norte, open every day. The espresso comes from Mokado, a Brasília roastery whose master roaster won the national roasting championship in 2024, and the cappuccino is made the Italian way, with only espresso and steamed milk. Brunch combos, lunch and cakes fill much of the menu, and the house keeps room for people who come to work, so it suits a long morning with a laptop more than a quick tasting.

Dylan Cafe & Bakery
Asa SulGood
Dylan is a café and sourdough bakery on SCLS 315 Sul, run by Fabrício Campos. The breads rise slowly with natural leaven, including a 100% wholegrain loaf made with stone-ground flour, and the pastrami sandwich on the house baguette has been on the menu since the first day. The coffee side is small: espresso drinks that the shop calls specialty coffee, including a cappuccino with oat milk and pure cocoa. On weekdays it opens in the afternoon, there is brunch on weekend mornings, and on pizza nights you can bring your own wine with no corkage fee.

Calmaria café
SudoesteGood
Calmaria, on Quadra 3 of the Sudoeste, is a café and brunch spot that serves both all day. Filter coffee is brewed to order in a V60 or a French press, in two sizes, next to espresso, macchiato, cappuccinos and an espresso tonic with lemon. The shop also sells its own specialty coffee in 250 g bags, with V60 kits, drippers and French presses, so you can brew the same coffee at home. Order a V60 at the table and take a bag with you when you leave.

Café Angelita
Asa SulGood
Café Angelita on CLS 409 Sul is a café and bistro with European décor and four rooms to choose from. The ground floor feels like a French café, the mezzanine is quieter, the side veranda suits a slow dinner, and the courtyard has a long family table, a fountain and a playground. Filter coffee comes as a coado or brewed in a V60 or a French press, with three coffees to choose from, next to espresso and cappuccinos.

Castanho Café
Asa NorteGood
Castanho sits one level down from the CLN 108 Norte commercial block, facing the residential buildings instead of the street. Its motto is "made to share", and the weekend brunch boards are built for groups of two to five. The coffee menu covers espresso, a 200 ml filter and a larger filter to share, and a cold brew steeped for about 12 hours. Try the caffeinated lemonade, made with cold brew, Sicilian lemon, rosemary syrup and sparkling water, or the cuscuz with pot roast and plantain. Lunch runs Tuesday to Friday.
