The eggs that they call mexido are delicately scrambled with cream cheese and ohhhh so delicious. I had a cheese cake which was a good finish. They also do pão na chapa with ciabatta bread versus the usual French bread found in São Paulo. This place should be on your list for breakfast for sure!!!!! I returned to SP in April 2018 and sure enough I was back at Ste Pão. I love this place!

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.

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.

A recipient of numerous awards ever since opening, the space at Rua Pedroso Alvarenga 655 coming first and still bustling every day beginning at 07h00, it is immediately upon entering the corner door that guests are greeted by sights and smells, the dining room in back at first hidden by Bar and racks full of Pastries. Offering table service as well as grab n' go options, the latter favored by many on Monday, it was seated at the communal high-top that choices were made, a young man with good English skills warning that five items were "too much" but eventually accepting reassurance that anything not finished would be taken to go. Aware of Mr. Baker's Beans, a local award winner with the linger of buttered Toast perfect for breakfast, it was alongside a Double Espresso that dining began with an Almond Croissant, the use of infused Cream rather than ground Nuts not ideal but better than Frangipane while a follow-up of Corn Cake was simple and delicious with high moisture that saw it eat almost like Pudding. Said to use one of the oldest know starters in Brazil for their Sourdough, an items sold by the Loaf or sliced with an array of Spreads, one could not help but smile at the decadence of thickly slathered Caramel, while both Banana Cake and a Chocolate Cookie with Nuts also fared well at an all-in price of just 42 Real (around $10USD.)

I love combing the aisles for snacks, soaps, salts and other lovely non-liquid items that I can consume immediately or take back in my carry-on luggage. Quitanda is São Paulo's to Whole Foods. I was a fan before even stepping inside having sampled their fresh-pressed juices (especially the abacaxi com hortelã!) at a friend's place. Pay attention to the exotic (if you're not from Brazil) fruit selection at Quitanda - I found two of the biggest passion fruits I've ever seen there (and I used one to make maracujá #infusedwater - so good!) I was also impressed with the array of soap and picked up a local honey scented one to take home. This Pinheiros grocery store is definitely worth a nosey if you're curious what healthy Paulistas feast on.

Going there you can't help but leave with bags full of fresh produce which is beautifully displayed front and center in the store. At lunch they serve a healthy buffet which is a bit over priced, but I can overlook that, because I am the type who would rather buy one of their sushi to go plates and go eat it in the park. They have a great selection of frozen foods for celiacs and vegans in the back next to the organic foods. The bakery is pretty good, and the juices are awesome.
