This is the best bakery I've found in SP, hands down. I love to try different ones every time…read morebecause you can't go wrong. They're ALL good. I especially recommend their croissants because they're true French-style. They even have really obscure breads like Lussekatter, called saffron rolls here, a sweet traditional breakfast bun for the Lucia Christmas festival in mid-December in Sweden. The restaurant is also very good with lots of nice choices. I've noticed that the portion sizes have increased since they first opened, which was my former reason for not eating here often. This last trip, I got the Croque Madam with pesto and loved it.

The staff is courteous and the array of breads, jams and fresh juices makes the experience very relaxed and even if you are paying a little more for the services and the food it is completely worth it. The portions are large, I had a 'complet' and left about 40% of it. The cakes are moist and it was the first time I had a fluffy pancake in years, delicious but easily 3-4 eggs. Perfect for sharing. The small boutique and bakery is aesthetically open and it is easy to find your way around the marinades. I got two jams and one chutney. Will return on my next trip to São Paulo

Makes total sense that this is the bakery of the top restaurant by the same name. Cute interior and good wifi. If it's crowded, most things are able to get as to-go. And of course, you could come here only for the bread, but I'd rather try to go during off hours and make sure to get a nice little corner and enjoy the food and atmosphere in peace.

We wanted pao de queijo and were told they are still in the oven for 13 more minutes…read more Nevertheless, we were given a table to sit and wait even though the restaurant was busy. This was especially helpful because we were tired from walking all day. When the bread was ready, we were served immediately. The pao de queijo were really good. We went back another day just to eat them again.

They have a varied menu with lots of healthy options including accommodating gluten free or vegetarian friends. The star of this location is the very clever giant umbrella which covers the entire patio of more than 12 tables. The umbrella can be retracted making for a great outdoor atmosphere in any weather. At night they light up the patio with romantic tiki torches. Fresh fruit juices and creative coffees in the daylight give way to creative cocktails and sangrias as the day goes on. They will usually serve you their awesome eggs Benedict any time of the day even if they're no longer cooking off the breakfast menu. It's one of the better places to enjoy a poached egg in the city. They also have some more locally inspired brunch options. The salads and wrap sandwiches are not quite as gourmet as the prices would lead you to believe, but the atmosphere generally makes up for it. In the past I had some issues with service being slow and forgetful, but they've changed the waitstaff lineup and since then I've had a great time. They often have someone who can speak English if needed. The patio space is dog friendly. And the downstairs of the indoor space has super comfy seating for a chat over coffee or relaxing drink after work.

It's generally clean, service is fine, if not a bit spotty at time, and the food is good enough and comes quickly, though sometimes entire pages of the menu will be unavailable for whatever reason.

There's a few outdoor tables if you're dining with a dog, or simply crave your risotto al fresco, and there's an upstairs and downstairs dining area as well. Outside is always the way to go though. The menu is varied and has a wide range of local favorites -like the chicken milanesa with a side of risotto- and a handful of the items you'd hope to find on a cafe menu: salads and grilled chops and fish.

A welcoming and open space at Rua Padre João Manuel 968, capacity for around forty diners divided between indoor and outdoor seating including comfy chairs, it is immediately on entry that guests will notice cases filled with Cakes and Pastries, the menu spelling out choices from Santo Pão's kitchen adding to an already tough decision with everything from Soups and Sandwiches to housemade Pasta. Open from 08h00 until 22h00 Monday through Saturday, doors closing an hour earlier Sunday, it was after minutes of indecision that Cold Brew was selected to pair with savories, the former rare in Brazil but in this case excellent while both Brazilian Cheese Bread and crispy Tapioca folded around creamy Eggs and Herbs were also well made at a fair price. Slowly enjoying the Eggs while browsing complimentary WiFi, and never rushed by English-fluent staff despite a crowd, it was after enjoying a small Cookie provided with the Coffee that sweets were ordered, the "Croissant with Hazelnut Cream" in reality a masterpiece of lamination ladled with warm Nutella while Santo Pão's signature Banana Cake lived up to its billing with soft layers divided by housemade Dulce de Leche.

Environment/ DECOR- I had a good time there. It has a cozy feel to it with indoor and outdoor option. Perfect quick stop location for a break or for a quick meet up with friends. SERVICE- the waiter was very friendly and nice. Came to check on us and overall good service. WOW FACTOR- nice coffee shop but not a must go. I enjoyed. Hence 4 Stars. OVERALL- nice coffee shop with some baked goods (didn't try this time but maybe soon?). I had a good enjoying my coffee while I seat resting there. Very relaxing feel to the place with a nice background music.
