Just Right: La Padá Brazilian Bakery

On one of my city-walking outings, while visiting family in Florianópolis, Brazil, I stopped for a coffee with snack at La Padá Bakery.

From the outside the place really caught my attention by the cool modern architectural building and sidewalk sign – very unique.
Metal structure + Concrete + Wood + Brick + Green Wall – honest materials

While inside, everything made sense – the layout, spatial distribution, and the visuals expressed by a balanced interior design and branded graphics.
La Padá opened in the beginning of 2011 and its space is described as gourmet bakery/coffee/bistrô with a mini-market.

I had a “cafezinho” – small brazilian-style espresso with cheese and meat empanada. Good service, good snack in a very charming space.
It was a nice and pleasant find.

A happy marriage between good architecture and visual design – just right.
