On my last two trips to São Paulo, I truly immersed myself in gastronomy in the city. After all, with so many new features, it’s difficult to get to know all the places. However, here in this post I highlight two new and unmissable bakeries/cafes in Jardins: Le Blé Casa de Pães and Nica Café. Naturally fermented breads, confectionery with top-notch sweets and cozy environments with outdoor space. Check out!

Le Blé Bread House
The artisanal and elegant bakery and confectionery is headquartered in Higienópolis and opened a few months ago in Jardins. The atmosphere is charming, cozy and has a balcony. At Le Blé, which means wheat in French, all ingredients used are organic and sustainable. In fact, that’s why the bread recipe is exclusive to the house.
There are 12 different types of bread, including baguettes, sliced bread, ciabattas and brioches. The toasts, made with rustic bread, are indeed a good option for brunch, with avocado or fig and goat cheese fillings, for example. The cold cuts were delicious, as was the crispy croissant. There are also varied options of eggs, tapioca, sandwiches, savory snacks, cheese and sausages.

A delightful place!
Furthermore, there is no shortage of French-inspired sweets, such as, for example, a variety of tartlets (the chocolate with caramel and fleur de sel was perfect), mille-feuille and éclair. I also tried the Capuccino Le blé, made with dulce de leche, cardamom and lemon zest.
On Le Blé’s menu, we also find bistro dishes, pizzas and special gift basket options.

Nica Cafe
A mix of café, bakery and restaurant, Nica Café is cozy and modern at the same time. There are three rooms – two halls and a rooftop which will be opened soon, with lots of greenery and plants scattered around.
On the counter, a showcase of sweet and savory treats that will make you crazy, with highlights including haute confectionery desserts and boulangerie items. The friendly owners from Pernambuco, Carla and Niege, bring many typical ingredients from the Northeast, coming weekly from Recife. In other words, you can expect a mouth-watering Cartola.

You Toasts, Open sandwiches made with naturally fermented bread are indeed great choices for a brunch, as well as the Chaud Saucisse, with baguette, Frankfurt sausage, cream cheese gratin and dijon mustard. Furthermore, the Croque Monsieur with crumb bread, royale ham, emmental, béchamel and parmesan is also a good option.
