Books + Coffee + View in Itacaré, Bahia, Brazil

how to find us


We’re on Itacaré’s historic waterfront, about 30 metres from São Miguel Jesuit Church. Half-way between the Church and the Fish Market/Ferry.

Look for our big sign and glass fronted building. If you get to the fish market and the ferry, you’ve gone too far!

Nearest international airport = Salvador da Bahia (400km)

Nearest domestic airport = Ilhéus (60km).
