Description

Inside, the space features tropical parrot murals, a green wall, and wooden bench seating. The kitchen is safe from cross-contamination, allowing for stress-free ordering of paninis, brigadeiros, and tapioca-based baked goods like cookies and pão de queijo—which comes in traditional, pesto, and spicy variations. The seating setup is relatively small, with only one large table suitable for groups, and visitors should note that there is no customer bathroom. Opinions on value are mixed, with some noting high prices and others highlighting the flavors.
