For those with less than perfect vision, a glance at N’o Café’s name might suggest a defiantly caffeine-free establishment. Not so. This canine-friendly corner spot in Vila Madalena has an extensive coffee menu, complete with elaborate options such as the iced Café Jerico with espresso, orange juice and almond syrup, or the naughty Campos do Jordão, with chunks of bitter chocolate, almond syrup and hot milky coffee.

If hunger strikes too, the comprehensive food menu offers decent salads, grilled meats and sandwiches, or just settle in with your laptop, hooked up to the free Wi-Fi.
