Rieux Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just saw this piece about Lia Cafe about a new Brazilian cafe opening in Mt. Pleasant. Looks like it will have all the typical salgadinhos (Pao de Quijo, Kibbe, etc.) that you would find in a Brazilian corner bakery. Hope they also have acai and juices, like a real Rio juice bar. No matter what, I think I will be here a lot. It's a bit sad for me, though. I had an idea to open a place like Each Peach Market, and then someone beat me to it, and my next idea was to open something like this, and I've been beat to it again!
sandynva Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 the list of pastries and desserts is almost identical to those at By Brazil in silver spring ( which does have acai and juice), but the soups sound intriguing and the atmosphere looks a bit nicer than By Brazil.
Rieux Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Tried it yesterday - excellent Pao de Queijo (tapioca cheese bread), Excellent Coxinha de frango (chicken in a fried croquette shell), not so good kibbe. Still, I'd go back for the first two items over and over again.
Rieux Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 I am probably the only person who cares, but it has been resurrected! Hooray - I now have a source for my Brazilian pastry cravings. "Lia Cafe International Reopens in Mount Pleasant" on popville.com 1
