Because It's 5 reais and much delicious. About chez mom go there and only eat desserts and maybe other things, but not tapioca. It really doesnt worth for 17. Maybe It was my fault to expect sth different from their tapioaca :) Foreigner learns ;)

We've bought a couple of the large size to take to a party, which was a big hit. The coffees are well made and the quiches are tasty as well. The red velvet cake is a rare find in this city, but I actually prefer their cheesecake.

The gluten and lactose free banana cake is the bomb. Order your favorite to avoid missing out on the last apple and cardamom cake in the case..... If you have the time, have a cup of tea and enjoy a mini bolo. Bolo e Bule now stock Mr Baker breads.

It is known for its good tasting cake, but I have only tasted the apple pie one, which is awesome!!…read moreSweet, yet smooth, and do really have an apple flavour. Lovely place with excellent service. The only negative is the price (R$ 9,00) for a piece of pie.

I was on the hunt for coffee when I was staying in Vila Madalena and walked here one day. I had…read morejust arrived right before it started to down pour. I almost walked past the entrance from the street. They have a few different areas one could find a seat - every place had a covered ceiling so when it rains most every spot can be filled up. Lots of plants. I sat in the tiny room with the A/C with windows that faced the street - right behind the coffee bar. It kind of felt like I was inside a treehouse - it was nice to be there when it was raining outside. It was really peaceful I wish I had brought a book or my journal with me that day. When you walk inside through the glass doors, turn to your right and walk towards the coffee bar that looks like you're in a kitchen workspace. This is normal as this is where you will place your order. After you order, you can find your seat and it will be brought out to you. The entire space gives a semi-modernized artsy atmosphere. There is a larger space with sofa, accent chairs and tables near a bookshelf filled with different bags of coffee you could purchase as well as various coffee tools and accessories. They have more indoor/outdoor seating down the corridor you walk down when you first turn in from the street as well. Since I love espressos, I had to try the espresso tasting where they give you one small cup and one larger cup of espresso - both brewed the same way, just presented differently. Stir the smaller cup fast with the spoon and slower with the bigger cup. When you taste them, you will notice a difference as one will be more bitter and the other will have that fuller taste. I preferred the smaller cup as it had more of that dark espresso flavor. The staff are super friendly. There was someone there who helped me decide what to order and explained to me how to drink it when he had brought it out. It was also helpful that he knew a little bit of English. I wish I had came here more than just one time and I regret not buying a couple bags of coffee as the packaging is what drew me to the merch, but I was already overflowing with items in my suitcase.

Fun little coffee shop that is worth a visit if you are in the area…read more It is a good spot for bringing a laptop and doing some work. The food is nothing special, but the coffee is worth going for.
