Key Facts

—Two cafes. Brazil placed two coffee bars on the 2026 World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops list: Cupping Cafe in Sao Paulo at number 81 and Coffee Five in Rio de Janeiro at number 92.

—Why it matters. Brazil grows more coffee than any other country, but it has rarely been ranked as a place to sit down and drink a great cup. This list flips that story.

—How it is judged. The ranking blends scores from about 800 industry experts, worth 70 percent, with 350,000 public votes, worth 30 percent, drawn from more than 15,000 nominated cafes worldwide.
