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.

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!

Serving upscale Jardim Paulista since 2013, Santo Pão (Portuguese for Holy Bread) takes a French…read moreapproach to baking and Café-style dining without abandoning Brazilian ingredients and ideas. 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.

Considering Portugal's enduring influence of Brazil there is no surprise that culinary crossover…read morestill exists today, and at B.LEM Portuguese Bakery many traditional Pastries can be found served alongside local favorites such as Pao de Queijo plus Sandwiches and even Pasta. Boasting three locations in São Paulo, that on Rua Afonso Braz proving most convenient with an 08h00 daily opening, it was shortly thereafter that the space was found long, narrow and friendly, staff not speaking a bit of English but plenty helpful in procuring items from the case while Google Translate via complimentary Wi-Fi provided assistance. Offering no shortage of options, the majority 4-10 Real ($1.00-$2.50) and made daily with fresh Ingredients including free-range Eggs, it was after a quick re-heat that two Salt Cod Pastries started things off, the baked Empada light and enriched with Butter while a fried Bolinho also fared well with all the expected flavor and very little oiliness. Next looking at B.LEM's interpretation of two Brazilian staples, the Cheese Bread a bit bland compared to others in São Paulo while Pao de Leite was springy and great with Jam, it is under the title "Pastel B. Lem" that Pastel de Nata are sold, the Egg Custard still warm and semi-liquid whether in its traditional or indistinguishable artificially sweetened form. Impressed with the finely-layered Shell, and finding similar filled with pureed White Beans and Almonds under the title "Pastel de Torres," it was after an unremarkable Cinnamon Rooll that two additional Portuguese traditions were explored, the "Bola de Berlim" essentially a Donut filled with housemade Dulce de Leche Custard while Salame de Chocolate offered Cocoa wrapped around Biscotti and a hint of Port.

I was literally still dreaming about it the next day; the food was really that good. Another standout dish was the braised short rib with sticky rice, a Brazilian specialty that was mouthwateringly delicious, with the beef and rice combo melting in your mouth. The toppings and sides were excellent as well. This was at an upscale restaurant, and the bill came out to half of what we would normally pay in the states. Food like this would cost at least two to three hundred dollars in California! For the price we are paying and the quality we are receiving, this is absolutely outrageous. I'd really like to see São Paulo's state government clean up its act and do more for the city, because there's no reason it shouldn't be a top tourist destination. I'm not much of a foodie, so it's nice having friends who are. You can just trust their recommendations and go along for the ride!!
