Pato Rei: Where Classical Composition Meets Coffee Craft

Pato Rei, meaning 'King Duck,' is the brainchild of Tiago de Mello, a former music composer who traded soundtracks for roasting beans. His background in classical composition profoundly shapes his meticulous and complex approach to coffee, transforming each roast into a carefully orchestrated experience. The name, an ironic nod to a teacher's advice against clumsy versatility, now celebrates their mastery across diverse coffee expressions.

What began as an exclusive 'Cold Brew Club,' delivering unique bottled brews, evolved into a café concept inspired by immersive coffee and pastry research trips through the vibrant culinary scenes of Tokyo, Taipei, and Seoul.This unique vision is a collaborative symphony with Tiago's wife, Larissa Taketa, a talented pastry chef, ensuring a harmonious pairing of exceptional coffee and delectable treats.

Pato Rei categorizes its exquisite offerings into whimsical profiles like 'Frutados & esquisitos' (Fruity & weird), 'Florais & delicados' (Floral & delicate), and 'Raros & premiados' (Rare & award-winning). They pride themselves on showcasing coffees with distinct, often unadvertised, flavor notes such as yuzu, magnolia, lavender, and fig, inviting guests to explore a truly unparalleled sensory journey in every cup and bite.
