I have to say this was my favorite place that I ate in São Paulo. In fact, I ate there twice. The…read morepão de queijo there is the best in town. 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.

I didn't give this place five stars because it's perfect, but because there are so few places like…read moreit. * Serves a full menu 24 hours a day * Huge menu, so there's no fighting over whether you should pick a restaurant * Huge space, so there's always somewhere to sit In particular, it's a great place for late nights when other restaurants have closed or for brunch because there are many breakfast options alongside all the standard lanchonete fare. 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.

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.
