The Bakers

Frommer's Review

The Bakers offers the perfect combination of American-style sandwiches and Brazilian sweets and desserts. The sandwich menu includes a variety of breads not often seen on Carioca menus, including ciabatta, eight-grain, whole wheat, and challah. The Al Pacino sandwich comes with Parma ham, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and a Mediterranean dressing. The Romeo and Juliette is a delicious combination of chicken breast, herb-flavored catupiru cheese, greens, and an apricot dressing. Once you've chewed through one of those, you can move on to the dessert. Choose from a mouthwatering selection of cakes and pies, such as Ecstasy, a chocolate cake with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce, or for something more nutty, the chocolate mousse cake with cashews. The bakery also serves up a mean brew of cappuccino with a rich and luscious layer of foam.
