Botanikafé Jardins

We decided to check out Botanikafe in São Paulo for brunch, given all the hype surrounding it. The place had a lively, chic vibe, but we had to join a Google Maps waiting list due to long lines (I suggest you do it too). Service was okay; not great, not terrible. It was a bit slow considering the crowd. The food was fine, nicely presented but nothing extraordinary. The coffee, unfortunately, was a letdown. We tried: classic scrambled eggs (3/5), fried eggs and pao de queijo (3/5), botanikafé bowl (5/5), matcha latte (2/5), filtered coffee (2/5), iced latte (4/5) and the vegan gluten free moon dessert (5/5). Overall, Botanikafe is decent but didn’t meet our high expectations. Not worth the long wait, in my opinion.

Good option for breakfast and brunch. Gluten-free and lactose-free options are available. Pets are also allowed. It's a good idea to arrive early, as there's always a line. The average wait on weekends is 44 minutes to 1 hour.
