Cowork

Piratas Cowork

The door opens at 10am. The internet is on us. The coffee you order at your table, like any item on the menu, and the table is yours for as long as you need. People who work from anywhere still need somewhere — and this one stays open late.

01

The day here

Get here at 10am. Stay as long as you want.

01

10am — the door opens

A table, a power outlet and our own internet. The coffee you order at your table. The house is emptier and quieter in the morning, and that is the best time for whoever came to work.

02

11:30am — the Família Paulista kitchen starts

Lunch is served from 11:30am, and the Família Paulista cooks it — the second kitchen of the house.

03

Afternoon — the music stays low

Background music at conversation volume. You can take a call, and you can write without headphones.

04

5pm — the happy hour

From 5pm to 8pm the drinks menu goes on rotation. Closed the laptop — you are already in the right place.

  • A steaming cup of coffee on the table at night, with hanging lights, the lit bar in the background and a chalkboard to the right.

    Early in the day

    The coffee

  • A plate of the day with steak and onions, fried egg, collard greens, rice and farofa, served on paper printed with the Família Paulista mark.

    Midday

    Família Paulista

  • A hand finishing a drink in an orange enamelled metal mug, with pink foam coming out of a siphon.

    End of the day

How it works

No fee. No need to let us know.

We charge nothing for the space: no usage fee, no day rate and no minimum spend. You order whatever you want from the menu, or just the coffee, and you stay. To work here in the morning or in the afternoon you do not need to book a table — just show up. Booking is still there for whoever comes to have dinner as a group.
