Elisa Café e Torrefação

slow mornings in funcionários have a particular rhythm, and elisa café e torrefação on rua sergipe fits into them without any fuss. the street sits in one of belo horizonte's older residential pockets, close enough to the centro-sul axis that you'll pass it on the way to somewhere else, which is exactly how a lot of people find it the first time. but you don't have to be passing through. this is a roastery that takes its sourcing seriously, which in minas gerais means operating in one of brazil's most storied coffee-producing states, not just gesturing at quality from a distance. locals keep coming back, and belo horizonte is not short on options. worth going out of your way for, especially if your afternoon has nowhere urgent to be. show up before the lunchtime rush settles in on rua sergipe.
