Odara Café e Ofícios

slow mornings have a way of finding the right place, and in the união neighborhood of belo horizonte, rua artur de sá is quieter than most streets in that part of the city. odara café e ofícios sits at number 380, and if you're the kind of person who needs a few hours with a laptop or a notebook before the day properly starts, this is a reasonable place to spend them. the regulars here are devoted in the way that only happens when a café is genuinely consistent, not just occasionally good. belo horizonte has serious coffee culture, partly because minas gerais grows so much of brazil's specialty production, and a place like this sits inside that context rather than apart from it. come for a cortado on a weekday morning.
