Panadería y Confitería Luana Pan

Panadería y Confitería Luana Pan holds down its corner of Ciudad del Este as an unpretentious cafe, the everyday kind worth knowing.

Across Brazil, places like this form the everyday backbone of how people take their coffee.

Expect the easy, unforced character of an independent spot: coffee made without ceremony and a room that fills with regulars. It is the kind of place where you can sit a while, and nobody rushes you toward the door. Drinks are made to be enjoyed rather than photographed, though there is no rule against both.
