Maresias Bakery

Maresias Bakery sits just a short walk from the beach along Av. Dr. Francisco Loup, offering a quiet spot to settle in for breakfast or a casual snack. As a local café, it draws a mix of early risers and beachgoers looking for solid, traditional Brazilian breakfast options paired with reliable coffee. The space feels relaxed, simple, and well-suited for a laid-back morning before a day by the sea.

The menu leans heavily on classic bakery items made fresh daily: think fluffy pão de queijo, buttery pão na chapa served with requeijão, and sweet treats like coconut cake and the local favorite, the doce de leite bomba. For those who want something savory, there are options like the filé de frango with sun-dried tomato and bacon or classic misto quente sandwiches, which pair well with a pingado (espresso with milk) or a freshly brewed café com leite.

Despite some feedback about prices being slightly higher than other nearby spots, the quality and proximity to the beach add a certain convenience and peace of mind — perfect for those who don’t want to stray far from the shore. Mornings before 10am tend to be the smoothest time to visit, when locals come through for a quick breakfast or to grab a fresh baguette while they plan their day outdoors.

The vibe here is straightforward and no-frills — friendly but efficient service keeps the line moving without fuss, and seating is modest, encouraging a quick sit-down rather than lingering long after coffee is finished. It’s a place where you can quietly observe the ebb and flow of a Maresias morning, from joggers passing by to families picking up baked goods for a beach picnic.

For anyone looking for a reliable morning stop along the Maresias stretch, especially if you appreciate traditional Brazilian bakery items and a solid coffee, Maresias Bakery fits neatly into the local landscape without fanfare or pretense.
