Latte prices here run around R$12, which is standard for POA.
Boticário Café sits airside in Terminal 1 at Porto Alegre-Salgado Filho, so you’re fine grabbing a drink after security and keeping an eye on boarding. It’s a straightforward coffee counter with seating nearby, useful if you’ve got 30–40 minutes before a domestic GOL or LATAM flight and don’t want to wander far from the gates.
Expect the usual Brazilian café staples: espresso, cappuccino, latte, and pão de queijo by the unit. A small espresso typically lands in the R$6–R$8 range, with sweet pastries and basic sandwiches climbing toward R$18–R$25. Portions run modest, so think snack or light breakfast, not a full sit-down meal before a 3-hour sector.
Service pace matches airport flow: during the 06:00–09:00 bank, the line can stretch to 8–10 people and a coffee might take 10 minutes; mid-afternoon the barista may have your order out in under 3. Staff generally handle quick orders in Portuguese first, but they manage basic English for “latte”, “americano”, and card payments without drama.
Signage shows the opening window roughly aligned with the first departures around 05:00 and closing after the last evening flights near 22:00, but smaller late-night banks can find the counter already shuttered. If you land after a delayed 23:00 arrival into Terminal 1, plan on this being dark and rely on vending or city options instead.
Cards are widely accepted, including major international credit brands, and receipts print in reais with no auto-conversion prompts. If your boarding pass shows a tight 40–50 minute domestic connection in Terminal 1, order something you can carry to the gate and skip the sit-down tables; they’re close but easy to get stuck at when groups crowd them before boarding calls.
