10. Coffee Lab in Sao Paulo, Brazil
Remember the Coffee Song by Frank Sinatra where he goes about crooning how coffee is the thing in Brazil? This simply implies that any ‘best coffee places’ list is incomplete without the cafés in Brazil. And Coffee Lab is the star among all the best coffee places in Brazil.
Coffee Lab is not just a coffee shop but a coffee school and laboratory. They take their coffee seriously and that is evident the moment you step inside this two-storey space. What is interesting is that they don’t offer just coffee in their menu but have their own ‘’coffee rituals.’’ You can pick any of the coffee rituals and nerd out on coffee in a while. You can try Ritual 1 to start with, which is a fun comparison between a quality coffee and the ‘drab’ served in a usual Brazilian home. No matter what ritual you choose, all are fun, educational and delicious. The Coffee Lab takes pride in its brewery methods and you will agree that they have reasons to do so.
