Since 2002
How a small café on Walm Lane became north-west London's Brazilian living room.
Where the pão de queijo comes from
Minas Gerais is Brazil's inland state of hills, farms and slow mornings. It gave the country its cheese bread, its filtered coffee and its habit of laying the whole breakfast on the table at once.
Mineiro Village brought that table to London in 2002. The recipes are the same ones used at home: pão de queijo made with the right cheese, coxinha fried to order, cakes baked in the morning.
A neighbourhood café
Walm Lane is where Willesden Green does its shopping, catches its train and meets for coffee. Mineiro Village has been part of that street for over twenty years, with the same black shop front and the same counter full of savouries.
You will hear Portuguese at one table and English at the next. Everyone gets the same welcome.

Baked today
Pão de queijo and savouries go in the oven through the day, not once in the morning.
Real fruit
Juices and smoothies are made from fruit, including açaí, cupuaçu and acerola from Brazil.
No rush
Breakfast can take an hour. Brunch can take the morning. That is the point.
