Now considered São Paulo's definitive Portuguese Bakery, five locations throughout the capital offering guests a bounty of sweets and savories beginning at 09h00 Monday through Saturday, it is over two stories that Casa Mathilde's flagship location stretches, level one comprised of cases expanding back to a display kitchen with comfortable seating along the sides. Popular to the point of filling floor two during lunch, a lack of Portuguese-fluency doing diners a disservice as staff is impatient even with the store 3/4-empty, it is recommended that guests obtain a marker upon entry and take a long look before ordering, as at least five-dozen items that change seasonally comprise Casa Mathilde's daily collection. Offering classics in addition to items targeting Brazilians and tourists, French Toast easily identifiable alongside Donuts labeled Bola de Berlim, it was alongside the latter stuffed with Dulce de Leche that five additional items were selected, the Portuguese Egg Custard flakey but a bit over-baked while "Pastel de São Bento" utilizes the same Shell but fills the center with finely ground Nuts and Sugar. On to Charniqueiras next, the taste and texture reminiscent of Brazil's Quindim Pudding beneath a caramelized top, it is inside Mathilde's eponymous Queijada that guests will find the taste of Citrus amidst granular consistency, the same forming the center of small orbs topped in Golden Walnuts with a crackling shell that makes one want to immediately book a flight to Sintra.

I lovvvveee the pastel de nata from this pastry shop. Having been to Portugal myself I would say…read morethat this place has the closest tasting pastel de nata/pastel de Belém to that of Portugal's, than I have ever had. It is not only light, but the inside is nice, creamy, and not overly sweet. The crust is crunchy and flaky, but not overly so. This is a great place to come to for coffee and/or a dessert with or without somebody. If you can sit upstairs by the window, it is a great place to spend your time enjoying your goodies while overlooking the historic downtown of Sao Paulo and doing some people watching.

First, in the rest of the world cappuccino does NOT have chocolate! Second, I wanted to have the cappuccino made with their beautiful espresso machine with foamed milk made with that same machine. They didn't even stir in the powder. It was all floating on top! It was a very bad experience and I'll be trying other coffee places until I find a proper cappuccino. Fomos a Ofner tomar um café quando estávamos comprando outras coisas e eu comprei esta linda guloseima de chocolate branco com sabor de limão enquanto estava lá, então percebi que meu cappuccino era feito com chocolate em pó e café instantâneo. Primeiro, no resto do mundo o cappuccino NÃO tem chocolate! Em segundo lugar, eu queria que o cappuccino fosse feito com sua linda máquina de café expresso com espuma de leite feita com a mesma máquina. Eles nem mexeram no pó. Estava tudo flutuando em cima! Foi uma experiência muito ruim e vou experimentar outros cafés até encontrar um cappuccino adequado.
