About Paulista Café

Paulista Café offers a diverse menu with a focus on healthy and fresh options. The vegetarian dish features a basic combination of black beans, collard greens, and orange slices, although the portion size and pricing have been criticized. The restaurant's counter-service style allows customers to order and find a table. Highlights include the delicious steak sandwich, the flavorful fried chicken bowl, and the well-executed breakfast items such as omelets and acai bowls. The place has a cute and cozy atmosphere with seating by large open windows, perfect for a relaxing lunch. They also have a wide variety of beer, good music, and friendly staff. Recent visitors enjoyed the cold brew and vegetarian empanadas, finding them good. Others praised the Sampa plate, a beef-forward sandwich, and the acai bowl, which are both tasty and healthful. The chicken empanada with green cilantro sauce and a spicy orange sauce was a highlight, described as crispy and delicious. The food is served quickly and presented nicely, making it a good spot for studying or meetings. Overall, despite some higher prices, the quality of food and friendly staff create a positive dining experience.
