Favela was more than just a cafe; it was an inter-generational community hub in Portland, Oregon (USA) from 2019 to 2023, created by the powerhouse couple Rodrigo and Dunya.

​

Emphasizing Brazilian culture and human connection, Favela embodied the essence of Brazilian culture—a celebration of joy-filled family gatherings, a carefree lifestyle that prioritizes people over appointments, and never-ending celebrations within the community.

​

At Favela, visitors were welcomed into a warm and inviting space where they could instantly feel the essence of Brazil—from the vibrant music to the delicious food and the strong sense of community. It was a place where everyone felt like family from the moment they walked in.

​

Now, Favela is expanding its reach as the founders plan to open a new Favela project elsewhere. Whether it's a cafe, a bed and breakfast, or a travel company, one thing is certain—it will always carry the community spirit and energy of the original Favela in Portland.
