Lacoste Has Opened a Cafe in Sao Paulo, and It Is the Brand’s First in Latin America

Lacoste opened its first Latin American cafe on 19 August at Shopping Cidade Jardim in Sao Paulo, with prices from about R$15. The post Lacoste Has Opened a Cafe in Sao Paulo, and It Is the Brand’s First in Latin America appeared first on The Rio Times .

Lacoste's new cafe in São Paulo, the first of its kind in Latin America, has officially opened in a luxury mall called Shopping Cidade Jardim. Located next to the brand's boutique, the restaurant is a small capital investment for the company and serves as a signal of where the brand expects to continue spending. The menu features traditional French pastries like croissants, pain au chocolat, and gougère, as well as savoury options such as the Croc Monsieur and Croc César.

Brazilian specialty items include the house blend coffee made from Brazilian beans and a Green Avo Smash smoothie. The cafe operates from 10 am to 10 pm, Monday to Saturday, and noon to 8 pm on Sundays, making it a destination for shoppers rather than just an adjunct to the boutique's opening hours. While the quality of the pastries has yet to be evaluated, the cafe's location in one of São Paulo's most exclusive shopping districts suggests it will be a significant addition to the area's already impressive luxury retail scene.
