"Minha experiência na 22 Special Coffee Botafogo foi simplesmente fantástica! O ambiente é moderno, aconchegante e com uma vibe única que combina perfeitamente com Botafogo. O atendimento é impecável: atencioso, rápido e feito por uma equipe que realmente entende de café. Os grãos são de altíssima qualidade e cada preparo é feito com muito cuidado, valorizando de verdade o conceito de café especial. Além disso, o cardápio é criativo e surpreendente, com opções que harmonizam perfeitamente com as bebidas. É o tipo de lugar que dá vontade de voltar sempre… seja para começar o dia com um café impecável, trabalhar num espaço inspirador ou relaxar com amigos no fim da tarde. Sem dúvidas, uma das melhores cafeterias do Rio de Janeiro!"

"Really nice and friendly staff, greets you with a smile. Interesting cold coffee drinks - tangerine coffee, tonic coffee etc. but the espresso itself could be better. It still doesnt have that refined taste which you get to taste more in hot drinks. Also, they could really do with wifi connection there. By now this should be a norm in every coffee shop."

"I have been here several times. Usually the service is friendly . Yesterday the usual two guys had been replaced by a scowling brusque woman and her even more scowling youth sidekick. Youre in a SERVICE INDUSTRY. Carrying on your conversation while the customer hangs about is RUDE. Asking “ is that ALL???” when the customer orders a flat white is ALSO RUDE."

"A cafeteria é boa, as opções de cafés são bem variadas. As comidas são o básico de uma cafeteria: empanadas, cookies e 2 ou 3 opções de fatias de bolo que variam conforme o dia e semana e sanduíches. Os valores são um pouco mais altos que opções similares, e não possuem Wi-Fi. As mesas ficam em um espaço aberto no interior do condomínio comercial, abrigadas da chuva… mas frequentemente há mosquitos no local."

"Descobrir a 22 Special Coffee Botafogo foi um presente. O que mais me marcou, além do café maravilhoso, foi a equipe: sempre sorridente, acolhedora e pronta para explicar cada detalhe do cardápio sem pressa, como se você fosse de casa. A atenção nos detalhes impressiona, até a escolha da louça faz diferença, deixando o café ainda mais bonito e gostoso de apreciar. É aquele cuidado que mostra que aqui tudo é pensado para o cliente ter uma experiência completa. Outro ponto que me conquista é o horário de funcionamento: consigo encaixar a visita tanto antes do trabalho quanto no fim do dia, e sempre saio com a sensação de que valeu a pena. É o tipo de lugar que não dá vontade de ir só uma vez."
