Occupying a century-old mansion at Rua Piauí 103 in Higienopolis, Empirico Cafe pulls 90-point-rated Brazilian beans on a Kalita dripper and offers a tropical cold espresso with citrus lemonade as a house signature. Counter service and communal tables fill quickly with locals, and the pao de queijo reliably sells out by mid-morning. An understated neighborhood gem in one of Sao Paulo's oldest residential districts.
