Good thread, OP.
These are my favorites although Coffee Lab is quite expensive.
Preto Café, also in the neighbourhood, is pretty good too and they have a pay what you want business model which is cool.
Lately I've getting more and more into making good pour over coffee at home, though. Game changers for me:
- Grinding the beans before every pour (rather than buying ground coffee or grinding it in batches)
- Pre-wetting the filter and filter holder
- Using a porcelain rather than plastic filter holder (Hario style)
- Not allowing the water to reach boiling point - I used to let it boil and then let it cool a bit before the pour, but for some reason it tastes different to me if it hasn't boiled at all. Placebo?
This is good:
Since I bought the grinder I've tried a handful of brazilian brands. My current favorite is Korin's organic medium-dark roast (~R$60/kg):

Sofa Café - R. Bianchi Bertoldi, 130 - A nice and stylish place in Pinheiros that has pretty good coffee. If you are in the area, I would recommend checking it out. You can of course sit on sofas, which can make for a comfortable setup for enjoying your favorite hot beverage of choice. I got a very nice yellow bourbon pour over here on the V60 which was highly tasty. Recommended.
Honorable Mentions:
Coffee Lab - Rua Fradique Coutinho, 1340 - Pinheiros - As another forum member has suggested, this place is supposed to have great coffee and roast in-house.
