Ofner - Loja de Fábrica - Socorro

the pão de mel here has a reputation that stretches beyond the socorro neighborhood, and if you're the kind of person who treats a coffee stop as an actual meal, that matters. ofner built its name on confectionery long before specialty coffee became a byword for seriousness, so the pastry case deserves your attention before you even think about what to drink. the address on rua olívia guedes penteado puts you in a quieter corner of são paulo's south zone, which suits the pace of the place. locals treat it as a genuine stop, not a novelty. well regarded in the area and for good reason. go mid-morning, get something from the bakery counter, and don't skip the coffee to go with it.
