Takko Café: A São Paulo Pioneer Brewing Passion and Purpose

Born from a graphic designer's unexpected love for specialty coffee, Takko Café is more than just a coffee shop; it's a vibrant testament to passion and pioneering spirit. Co-founded in 2014 by Rodolfo Herrera and journalist Flávio Seixlack, who bravely invested their severance pay into a dream, Takko quickly became a cornerstone of Vila Buarque's creative renaissance in downtown São Paulo.

Its distinctive visual identity, a graphic homage to the city's fragmented urban scenes, perfectly encapsulates its metropolitan soul, reflecting a deep connection to São Paulo's dynamic character.Takko Café distinguishes itself by fostering direct, intimate relationships with coffee producers, choosing not to roast its own beans but instead to genuinely share the unique stories and origins behind every cup.

This commitment to transparency and connection is paired with an innovative approach to brewing; Takko was an early adopter of the "batch brew" method in São Paulo, offering expertly prepared, ready-to-serve filter coffee. Their curated menu features exceptional Brazilian single-origin coffees, such as an Acaia varietal from Cerrado Mineiro for espresso and a bright yellow Catuaí from Espírito Santo for pour-overs, inviting guests to explore the rich tapestry of Brazilian coffee.
