Café da manhã, literally morning coffee, is the Portuguese word for breakfast, and in São Paulo it runs from a quick coffee at the counter to a weekend buffet. The big padarias do both. At the 24-hour Bella Paulista on Rua Haddock Lobo the breakfast buffet starts at 07:00; in early 2024 it cost R$58 on weekdays and R$86 on weekends and holidays.1

ST Etienne, with 24-hour branches on Alameda Joaquim Eugênio de Lima in Jardins and on Avenida Diógenes Ribeiro de Lima in Alto de Pinheiros, lays out a buffet of more than 50 items on weekends and holidays until 11:15, then serves brunch until 16:00.1 At Dona Deôla, the weekend buffet from 07:00 cost R$52.80 a person in early 2024, with children under five free and ages five to ten at half price.1

Local tip: For a padaria buffet, arrive early: ST Etienne's weekend breakfast buffet ends at 11:15, before the brunch menu starts, while Bella Paulista's begins at 07:00.1

Where these cafés are: Itaim Bibi & Vila Olímpia (2), Jardins (2), Higienópolis & Santa Cecília (1), Vila Madalena (1), Centro & República (1), Liberdade & Aclimação (1).

What brunch costs in 2026

Café Girondino, at Rua Boa Vista, 365 in the old center, swapped its weekend buffet for a brunch served at the table on Saturday and Sunday: about ten items, from scrambled eggs and bacon to muffins, fruit salad, yogurt, house jam, coffee and orange juice, at R$79 a person or R$150 for two.2 It also launched Girondino Viagem, a takeaway counter with self-service ordering.2

Smaller cafés sell breakfast as a set. In August 2026, TATIO, on the ground floor of Passeio Paulista on Rua Bela Cintra, charged R$29 for its clássico breakfast and R$39 for the encorpado, with an espresso at R$10; Nouzin Café in Pinheiros charged R$37 for an omelet with bacon and levain toast.3

Padaria counters cost less. Procon-SP's September 2026 averages put a misto quente (ham-and-cheese toastie) at R$22.97, a glass of orange juice at R$16.40 and a medium cappuccino at R$15.06.4

Weekday brunch and the Korean side

Two cake and dessert cafés with brunch menus sit on the edge of the center.
