So you are visiting one of São Paulo's most charming places, Liberdade, and wants to have a nice coffee? Espaço Kazu is one of those places where you can sit, relax and enjoy delicious sweets with nice teas and coffees.
Being my favorite spot of Liberdade, I've come here several times in different days.

They aren't cheap - but they're really tasty and goes well with ramen; 3- Order the choux cream if available. It's a REALLY good desert. Not too sweet and the cream is superb! 4- Go to their bathroom. It's funny :D (seriously. They have ultra tech toilet seats, just...
Read moreI ordered an plate of sushi. It was good, fresh and good sticky rice as it should when it comes to sushi.
There was a thing I founded a bit disturbing while eating my sushi. Because I had the opportunity of seating on the chefs counter that night and see the whole spectacle.
And it is the hygiene. This is just how I saw it.
The sushi chefs were placing plastic boxes and plates on the cutting board while working with preparing plates. The counter itself and the wall behind the chefs needs a good cleaning. Stains where visible. One of the chef used a cloth to clean of something from the sink. And then to my surprise threw it on the cutting board. And then the fish fridge which had a smudgy glass inside because of the meat. Just that is an...
