And probably only one of the few cafés that are open before 10am! The espresso is a bright and fruity roast that open up on your tongue. There are also other options with Aeropress and V60. There are a few basic snacks in display such as pão de queijo, empanadas and your usual assortment of sweets. There are a few sandwiches on the board with some vegetarian options.

I also appreciate that the latte art for their espresso-based drinks is simple (see photo attached). I notice a lot of coffee shops in the city focus too much on the drink aesthetics but don't put much care in the flavour. Pato Rei clearly cares, and the baristas here are well-trained and know their stuff.

Good coffee, good place to sit and replace your in-the-walls meeting place :) Most people get food to go here - it's a bless for people looking for a nice place to have breakfast or the mid-afternoon coffee break. There's a Starbucks half a block from here - and I love Starbucks - but Casa do Pao de Queijo cheese rolls are... awesome. And I always can complement the meal with a Starbucks' blueberry muffin later if I don't get one of the good Casa do Pao de Queijo mini apple pie treats first :)

Part market and part Coffee house, the contiguous indoor-outdoor space offering complimentary WiFi and plenty of room to spread out amongst native surroundings, it is once seated that a three-page menu printed in Portuguese is presented, Salads and Sandwiches constituting approximately half the options alongside Pies, Desserts and Entrees. Utilizing local ingredients and traditional recipes, with prices not so different from other similar spots in the Jardins neighborhood, guests can expect friendly service from entry to exit, an English-fluent female assisting with explanations that eventually led to six items plus two Beverages beginning with Tres Coffee served as Cold Brew. Previously the address of a place called Bácaro, Chef Atala bringing his preeminent voice in Brazilian cuisine to Rua Oscar Freire 45 in partnership with former owners, it was not long after ordering that three plates arrived simultaneously, first bites of "Bolvo" finding it largely like a Scotch Egg with seasoned Ground Beef while the Torta de Palmito doubled down on texture with softened Hearts of Palm and gooey melted Cheese. For now a "pop-up," an entirely new concept apparently set to replace the Café in 365-days, those seeking something truly delicious should not pass on Atala's Coxinha de Pato, Duck cooked with Tucupi rich but vibrant beneath a Shell rolled in Farofa. Passing on housemade Juices, and instead transitioning the palate sweet by way of Espresso and Ice shaken vigorously with Citrus, Dessert arrives by way of items also offered on Dalva e Dito Restaurant's cart, Quindim featuring a slick Custard of Eggs and Coconut while "Ambrosia" perfumes soured Milk with Vanilla and Cinnamon, though the most "unique" bite to those visiting from outside Brazil is likely to be "Doce de Caju," or Cashew Fruit poached in Brown Sugar Syrup.

The cappuccino was fantastic. The avocado toast was good as was the salmon Benedict. They were good but nothing amazing. The service was fast and friendly and the playlist was classic rock (which I loved). It was pretty hot inside which we have found to be the norm here is SP. If I lived here I'd definitely go back to try their fresh baked goods, they looked and smelled amazing.
