🇧🇷｜Afternoon Tea & Shopping in Pinheiros, São Paulo

🌟 I'm falling more in love with Pinheiros! Beyond the Saturday flea market, Thai food, and art district (shared in previous posts), I recently discovered its charming afternoon tea spots + cute boutiques (gifts, clothing, books, jewelry). Perfect for a weekend afternoon stroll! 🦆 Note: The area is quite safe, but always stay alert! 📍 Tea spots cluster near Mintchi Croissant, while shopping is best around Casa Mimosa - Mimosa Art House (a 10-min walk between them). The latter has fewer shops (more bars), but still worth exploring! 🍰 Afternoon Tea Spots 🥐 Mintchi Croissant - Famous for pistachio croissants! Small but popular (lots of takeout). *~R$32/croissant, R$50+ with drinks.* 🍵 Fazemos Pão - Padaria Artesanal - Rustic bakery with fresh juices (matcha is light). 🥖 Âme Café & Patisserie - Korean-style café, packed on weekends! Met a sweet grandpa who honeymooned in China 60 years ago. 💕 🦛 Cenoradas Pinheiros - Hippo-themed! Didn’t try (too full), but adorable exterior. 🛍️ Shopping Route (follow the yellow path!) 🎁 Paiol - Arte Brasileira - Gorgeous handmade Brazilian crafts (higher quality & price than touristy spots). Great for gifts! 🎨 Free pop-up art exhibits - Abstract paintings ("I could do this!" vibes 😂). 🍪 Ooey Cookie - Pinheiros - Smells AMAZING! Long queues on Saturday nights. 🍦 Pine Co. - Pinheiros - "Best ice cream in SP" (self-proclaimed). Italian-style + cute aesthetic! 🍷 Bars & restaurants galore - Including Tantan (ramen spot). #Brazil #SaoPaulo #WeekendVibes #AfternoonTea #HiddenGems
