GLAD

Why it’s on the route

GLAD is a bean-to-bar chocolate shop and café on Rua de Rodrigues Sampaio, founded by Swiss-Brazilian sisters Katrin and Marcella Cavalcanti, who launched the brand in 2023. They roast and grind cacao from Ecuador, Madagascar, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic at their own Boavista workshop. The shop serves specialty espresso and filter coffee with chocolate, brownies and cookies, and hosts tastings downstairs.
