GRÃO FINO * ITAIM BIBI/SP
Grão Fino, a mix of "restaurant and bakery", is a true refuge for those seeking healthy, tasty food and those with dietary restrictions in the heart of the city of São Paulo.
It stands out for being one of the pioneering establishments in offering gluten-free and lactose-free products in the city, which makes it a paradise for celiacs, lactose intolerants and those following specific diets.
Located in Itaim Bibi, Grão Fino surprises with its charming and welcoming atmosphere. Although it is a bakery, it also operates as a café and small restaurant, with different spaces.
There is a counter with benches at the entrance, tables inside and a delightful winter garden in the back, which is pet-friendly. This space is ideal for work meetings, get-togethers with friends and to enjoy a quiet moment with your pet.
The great difference of the place is its elaborate and diverse menu, which proves that functional food can be incredibly tasty. Everything is prepared with fresh, preferably seasonal ingredients, and the restaurant values gluten-free, lactose-free and preservative-free recipes, with several vegan and low-carb options.
Products such as breads, jams, functional pastas, peanut butters, vegan cheeses and granolas can be found at the restaurant.
Grão Fino offers a complete gastronomic experience that pleases all palates, even with dietary restrictions. In fact, it is highly recommended for those seeking a healthy and conscious diet, without sacrificing flavor and variety.

I'm celiac and since I discovered Pra Além de Bom, I've been happier.
I love the tarts, the strawberry, apple and pear ones are my favorites, I order them every week.
I recently tried the lemon cake, it's perfect, soft, and moistens Dinho just right, perfect!!!!
I loved that they're selling slices so we can try the flavors of the cakes before ordering the whole one.
The honey and spice cake is also perfect. I didn't like the topping of the carrot cake very much, but the dough itself is delicious too.
I highly recommend it, quality ingredients, tasty food and best of all, it's safe for celiacs.
Fada dos Bolos is a small and friendly bakery. All products are gluten-free and safe for celiacs. There is both an indoor and outdoor space to eat there. The cakes are very tasty and the service is always good! I recommend it.
I love going to this place, the food is wonderful, the service is excellent, fast and efficient! The place is cozy, perfect for any occasion! And it's also pet friendly 🥰.
The best thing is that it's safe for celiacs ❤️
One of the best cafés in São Paulo.
mainly because its sweet and savory options are gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free and very tasty.
It's worth a try!
Excellent restaurant for those with allergies or gluten sensitivity! The girls at the counter and cashier are super attentive, and the place is beautiful and pleasant. I just think they shouldn't forget the guava biscuit, which is wonderful and always runs out quickly.
They advertise everywhere as GLUTEN FREE, but in reality they only use wheat flour. A restaurant of this size and price cannot use this advertising if there is a risk of cross-contamination with gluten! It is too expensive and hyped to have no guarantee of contamination safety. I am sure that the nutrition team will understand this criticism very well and how essential it is for the marketing team to be in tune with this since this also concerns safety. IT IS NOT CASA RAW VEGAN GLUTEN FREE. IT IS CASA RAW VEGAN WITHOUT WHEAT FLOUR. Gluten is a molecule and it is completely nonsensical to advertise it this way and not be. It would be like writing "no shrimp" and having "only the risk of a shrimp broth". People with allergies and celiac disease RUN AWAY. Anyway... it is nonsensical that this is part of the main advertising.
Delicious pizza! There are no tables in the restaurant, it's only delivery, the waiters aren't very charismatic lol but the pizza is extremely good! For celiacs who miss pizza, it's worth it! Crispy dough, I liked it!

A good choice for those with dietary restrictions — everything is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and without compromising on flavor.
The food is well prepared, the service is good and the prices are in line with other places in the region.
The place is lovely. There are a variety of delicious options for those with gluten and lactose restrictions. We bought several products from the shop, including French bread and frozen cheese bread. At the café in the outdoor area, we tried the grilled bread and the cheese bread, which didn't even taste like it didn't have cheese. I highly recommend it. Just be prepared to pay, because everything is salty.

I bought a gluten-free, vegan, and sugar-free cake for my 2-year-old daughter's birthday and was very disappointed. The finishing was poorly done, without the care expected for a celebration cake. In addition, the texture was extremely floury, with a sandy sensation in my mouth. It felt like I was eating dirt — which usually happens when there is too much rice flour in gluten-free preparations. For a 1.5 kg cake that cost almost R$500, I expected much more. Unfortunately, I do not recommend it.
I was looking for the best cafe in Lagoa, I found it here. I hesitated after seeing some negative comments but I still wanted to discover the place and I have absolutely no regrets. This is the third time I've been back and it's perfect every time. The place is magnificent, super quiet, cozy, pleasant, superb decoration. You can feel the good energy whether inside, on the terrace or on the mezzanine (exceptional view of Lagoa). Very well received by the whole team, the servers are really adorable. The service is impeccable and the food absolutely divine. I chose the gluten-free, lactose-free brunch with the bolo de fuba (great culinary discovery), everything was perfect and I can assure you that I am demanding in terms of catering. I 100% recommend this extraordinary place!

Very cozy place and wonderful service, I felt at home. I loved the Pastel de Belém (very crispy dough) and the chocolate truffle, desserts not too sweet, just the way I like them. I'm not celiac and I didn't notice any difference, it's worth trying, really good, I'll definitely be back, thank you all for the service, it was great to be with you... I loved everything
I loved the place and the gluten-free options. There are many and they are all delicious. I tried the delicious lunch and a nut and dried fruit pie, which I loved. I went back the next day to try the gluten-free chicken pie, which was simply wonderful. I highly recommend it.

I'm not yet very used to the gluten-free world, but I missed the flavor in the dishes and I found the price a little higher than expected. Still, it's a good option for those who need to follow a gluten-free diet.
Beautiful bistro full of welcoming details, with delicious and healthy gluten- and dairy-free meals 😍 Attentive service observing other restrictions. I loved it ❣️
We simply loved the place and the food. We had breakfast at the all-you-can-eat buffet, which serves delicious gluten-free food. It's definitely worth it! You can only order a few items from the menu, but in my opinion the buffet is worth it! I would love to have one like this in São Paulo. Congratulations to the owners and the entire team!

A delightful place near the rock, surrounded by trees. Fresh, beautiful and pleasant. The menu has several gluten-free, lactose-free, refined-food-free and really tasty vegan options. Fair prices. Some slices could be a little bigger (like the pies, popsicles and gingerbread), and there could be a few more savory options. But the flavors are really delicious, both there and the pies made to order. The service was also excellent. I highly recommend it.

The place delivers products that are within its proposal (zero lactose/zero gluten). The menu has some options of breads, coffees and sandwiches, as well as sweet options. Unfortunately, my experience was not satisfactory because I ordered scrambled eggs that could not be made due to a problem with the establishment's gas, and the other three dishes I ordered (chicken coxinha, chicken braided bread and chicken sandwich with pesto) were lacking mainly in the flavor of the chicken, lacking seasoning/flavor. I know that all the products are zero (I think it's great, I'm intolerant) but the food doesn't have to be tasteless. I should also add that the texture of the coxinha was soggy, falling apart only when I picked it up. I was so disappointed that I didn't even try the sweets (my favorite part). It would be nice to add natural juices to the menu.
I ordered a coffee and a honey bread. They were great. Usually gluten and lactose free products don't taste very good. That didn't apply to what I tried there. I'll try other items next time. The facilities are very stylish, pleasant and comfortable. The service is perfect.
I came in by chance looking for a cup of coffee and I plan to go more often to try other options on the menu.
Efficient service, many options for eating and drinking, impeccable preparation and flavor. Beautiful, pleasant atmosphere and the excellent soundtrack caught my attention. Gluten-free options.

I really like having breakfast there. For those of you who, like me, are looking for gluten-free, sugar-free and lactose-free food, there are several options there. What always leaves something to be desired is the delay in delivering the orders and the aesthetics of the café. It has been in need of repairs for some time.

The place is small, which prevents you from taking a group of more than 4 people, but it is the only place where you can eat without worrying about lactose, sugar and gluten. The presentation is exquisite and the flavor is pure deliciousness. Excellent.

Beautiful, cozy, clean and organized place.
Strict rules for COVID-19. Very good service.
Excellent decorated cappuccino (I asked for lactose-free milk). Large cup for R$10.00. Small cheese bread for R$4.95 (suggestion: increase the size or reduce the price, since it is a very cheap product).
The menu has a variety of coffees and preparations. Many gluten-free, lactose-free, plant-based and vegan options. Value $$$

The place is cute and the flavor is incredible, it doesn't even seem like they are gluten and lactose free. I had a Rio coffee with a piece of banana cake with white chocolate and pistachio topping. Delicious!!!!! It's definitely worth trying. 😋😋😋😋 The only problem is that the same person who serves is at the cashier, probably because there weren't many people... Maybe it's the time too.

Empório da Tapioca Monsenhor Tabosa.
Av. Monsenhor Tabosa, 1273 - Meireles, Fortaleza - CE, 60165-065, Brazil
Pros:
1 - The tapiocas are excellent! We ate a tapioca with sun-dried meat and crunchy curd cheese and a tapioca with sun-dried meat and biquinho pepper, both very well prepared! The strawberry juice was very good, as was the coffee with milk. The cappuccino is average.
2 - There is a small parking lot in front in a part of the city that is difficult to find a space.
3 - Taking care on the menu to show which dishes have gluten, which have eggs and which have lactose, very important for people with dietary restrictions.
Cons
1 - The acoustics of the place, as it is small and does not have sound insulation, the noise is sometimes loud due to the customers themselves talking, the heavy metal chairs that are dragged on the floor, the dishes when put away and the coffee machine.
2 - The service is disinterested, and could improve in the interest of serving customers and in avoiding dragging chairs or banging dishes against each other.
3 - The value of some tapioca is a little above the average for places with the same level

I liked it, I went to the event that had coffee shops in the city, I think it was worth checking out. The coffee was good, the sandwich was ok, the bread was good, but nothing special, the cake was amazing! The decor of the place was beautiful, different. The menu had some interesting options, I just wish it had almond milk instead of oat milk. I thought the price was a bit steep, but I understand that gluten-free and lactose-free foods are usually more expensive, and since that is the proposal of the place, it makes sense.

I found out about it through the Prime Gourmet app and ordered two combos and only paid for one. I spent R$41.50 (a small cappuccino, a small coffee, a slice of cake and a meat pie). I used the discount coupon: MILHASJESSY when I signed up for Prime. The place is beautiful, very Instagrammable, perfect for taking lots of photos. They serve gluten-free, lactose-free, sugar-free food... The staff is very friendly and the menu is delicious.

I'm in love with this coffee shop. It's a place with a unique style that everyone should visit at some point. It has options for gluten and lactose-restricted diets.
