Gate-side gelato stop in T1 for a quick sugar hit
Bacio di Latte sits airside in Terminal T1 at Curitiba-Afonso Pena (CWB), handy if your boarding pass already shows you through domestic gates. It’s a straight gelato and dessert counter, so think quick orders and stand-up eating rather than a long sit-down meal. Expect typical mall-style pricing inside the airport premium, with cups and cones running higher than a standard coffee at other CWB spots.
The menu at Bacio di Latte usually focuses on Italian-style gelato in multiple flavors plus a few basics like coffee and maybe simple pastries, rather than full meals. A small gelato cup at airport branches in Brazil often lands in the R$15–R$20 range, with larger portions a few reais more. Figure on 5–10 minutes from stepping up to the counter to walking away with a cone, even when there are three or four people ahead of you.
Hours in T1 at CWB tend to track peak departures, so Bacio di Latte is most reliable during midday and evening banks rather than late at night after 22:00. If your flight from Curitiba leaves around the 6:00–7:00 window, don’t count on it for breakfast; plan a backup snack from a 24-hour kiosk instead. Seating nearby usually comes from shared terminal chairs rather than dedicated café tables.
Ordering is straightforward: pick a cup or cone, choose one to three flavors, then pay at the counter. Portions at Brazilian airport gelato outlets tend to be smaller than street shops in São Paulo or Rio, so if you’re hungry before a 2–3 hour flight, go for a larger size. Skip using it as your main meal before a 4–5 hour leg; use it as a dessert after grabbing something more substantial elsewhere in T1.
Practical tip: if your gate in T1 is at the far end of the pier, stop at Bacio di Latte first; walking back from the last gates can add 8–10 minutes when boarding for your CWB flight is already on “last call.”
