Freddy Rei do Açai Copacabana — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

⚠️ Arrogant, loud and rude shop owner who is not competent to provide good customer service by himself. Before I could even say anything he starts to lash at me that I dont know anything about how the system in his shop works and tells me to "calm" down before I have even said anything.

Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back and will bring all...

Service was great. They have two types of açaí, one more normal with sugar added and one “gold” version that is more pure and unsweetened. They let us try samples to see the difference. Keep in mind the gold version costs more for the same size, which is fine just good to know. They made sure we understood this point, not trying to trick anyone.

Lots of free toppings and syrups and you can add as many as you want. We also did some paid toppings. They do a nice job layering everything so you aren’t stuck with plain açaí for the last half. We would...
