We live far, but happened to be close. Still I would drive the 1 hour just to eat here again. Mrs Silvana was so sweet and extremely friendly. The barista was very kind too. Now to the food. Simply put, it was great. Will be returning many many times.

Nice small neighborhood bakery that seems to be popular. The cheese bread is very good and there is a selection of other pastries and a couple of sandwich options in addition to coffees and other drinks. Service was prompt and friendly. The spa e includes several tables and some comfortable chairs. There is also outdoor seating. They do have password protected Wi-Fi for guests. The password is posted on the wall. There is a shared parking lot which can be close to full at meal times.

Amazing food, friendly staff and comfortable place. It is a piece of Brazil in Denver. We could not go there every day from our stay in Denver. Impossible to choose only one thing to eat. All the sandwiches, cheese bread and baking goods are delicious. Cakes are amazing, fresh juices, Brazilian açaí, and perfect coffee. You are awesome Padoca! Thanks
