it starts with pão de queijo.
before there was a menu, there was pão de queijo (cheese bread).
not as a trend — but as a delicacy worth sharing.
where it began
we tested more than seventy recipes to define the pão de queijo cambridge benchmark. it wasn’t just about bread — it was about the texture, the structure, the balance. soft inside. crisp outside. consistent every time.
that process set the standard.
the pão de queijo cambridge standard, everywhere
pão de queijo became our benchmark in cambridge—not our limit.
the same care that went into perfecting our pão de queijo now shapes everything we make in our kitchens:
• coffee roasted for clarity and consistency
• matcha sourced for balance and cleanliness
• ingredients chosen for reliability, not shortcuts
not everything on our menu is pão de queijo, but every item follows the same discipline.
