Urbe Café Bar is exactly the coffee place I was looking for in São Paulo. It has a really cool vibe and delicious coffee. When I first walked in I was overwhelmed by the number of people and the dim lights, but I really liked this spot. It had quotes about coffee written in chalk…

Scada Café- São Paulo, SP, Brazil
If there were cafés in the cinemas in the U.S., I would probably be going to the movies more often. I found Scada Café after doing some research about coffee shops in São Paulo. I knew it was in the Shopping Bourbon, but after circling through the entire mall a few times I realized I…
Padoca do Mani- São Paulo, SP, Brazil
From the moment I arrived at Padoca do Mani last Sunday morning, I fell in love with the tiny bakery/coffee shop. Mostly known for their various types of breads and their coffee, this place was packed all morning. Padoca do Mani is the place to be for brunch. It has a really cool atmosphere, colorful…
Octavio Café- São Paulo, SP, Brazil
Octavio Café is one of the fancier coffee places in São Paulo. The building itself is shaped like a coffee bean! When I first walked in I was overwhelmed by all of the coffee decor, books, and equipment. They even had their own blending station where customers can create their own coffee blends using Octavio…
Ekoa Café- São Paulo, SP, Brasil
Ekoa Cafe is located in Vila Madalena and is a peaceful spot. The outdoor seating is beautiful and relaxing. The indoor seating varies greatly, from tables with chairs, to comfy couches, to small reading areas. Most of the people at this cafe were doing work on their laptops or reading. Since espresso drinks seemed to be…

When I first walked into Coffee Lab I was utterly impressed. This shop has outdoor seating with tables surrounded by plants and lights as well as indoor seating. The inside of this coffee shop really looks like a coffee lab. The most emphasized parts are the roaster and espresso machines. Once I looked at the menu,…

Located in Perdizes, São Paulo, Café Raiz has a reputation for great coffee in the city and it did not disappoint. Although it is a sit-down restaurant, I still very much enjoyed the vibe of this coffee spot, very relaxing and elegant. When I looked at the menu it seemed espresso drinks (or as it is…
The Danish Pastry House-Medford, MA
Located right by the Tufts University campus, The Danish Pastry House is a pretty minimalistic coffee shop that is quite popular amongst people in the area. This coffee shop is one of the places I consider people sacrificing coffee for food. The coffee is not bad, it just is not anything outstanding. The lattes are good…
Tatte Bakery-Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA
When it comes to Tatte’s coffee, I may be a little biased since I am a huge fan of Stumptown Roasters, which is served at this bakery. The latte has smooth foam and bold espresso which was comforting on the cold snowy day I first went to Tatte. Unfortunately, the iced coffee is pretty mediocre…
Flour Bakery- Central Square, Cambridge, MA
When I first walked into Flour I was overwhelmed by the amount of people in the bakery right after work. Not only does Flour have baked goods and coffee, but it also has a variety of salads, sandwhiches, and other meals. Since the food looked delicious, I was not expecting the coffee to be outstanding….
4A Coffee-Brookline, MA
After a pretty dull morning, my trip to 4A Coffee brightened my day. I first tried a cafe au lait. The first sip made my eyes widen. The drink was suave and tasty and made me want more. Next I tried a latte, which had a strong, but sweet espresso taste and was perfectly balanced…
Bourbon Coffee- Porter Square, Cambridge, MA
Bourbon Coffee, connected to Lesley University in Cambridge, has the feel of a Starbucks with slightly better coffee. The drinks are nothing special, but if you are in the area and need caffeine it’ll do the trick. This coffee shop seemed to be mostly college students or older people reading or studying. The espresso was…
