My favorite cake shop…read more These beautiful cakes in unusual and ever-changing flavors justify the non-bolo de caseira price. They make excellent hostess gifts. 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.

And from the Book of Pork- on the 8th day there was Bar e Lanches Estadão... lemme just say that if…read morethis place were in NYC there would be a stool with my name on it. Just watching the staff prepare the pork is worth the price of admission... My only regret... *only* regret, is that I didn't know how to ask for more pork skin on my sandwich... I really wanted that crispy skin. Otherwise- I think about that sandwich every day...

Just grab a seat and someone will bring you a menu, order and the food will arrive quickly. I visited a couple times because it was close to where I was staying. I only tried the Lanches Pernil, once with the queijo Minas and once plain. One thing I want to highlight is the homemade hot sauce. It takes the sandwiches to the next level.

According the the SP Free Walking Tours, Sana Tereza is the oldest bakery in São Paulo. Of course,…read morethis was our lunch stop during the downtown tour. Usually, food stops during tours are "touristy" (for a lack of a better word) BUT Santa Terza proves that wrong. If there is one thing you have to order, it's their coxinhas. Usually, bakeries take shredded chicken and mold it into the shape of a drumstick, cover it in dough and either back or fry it. At Santa Tereza, they use an actual chicken drumstick! My friends and I still regret not buying a bag to go, as it was impossible finding another bakery in town and Rio that makes their coxinhas like Santa Tereza. Of course they do sell the shredded chicken coxinha at Santa Tereza. They sell many types of baked goods but I highly recommend sampling their pao de queijo.

I had the pao de queijo and it was really good - nice texture, nice cheese flavor. They have a ton of items to choose from and it can be overwhelming, but if you go with the traditional favorites, those are probably good options. The price point is good too.

They have good menu and lots of nice things to eat and buy but the service is usually quite slow.read more
