Mj Butequim

You'll find Mj Butequim tucked away on Buckland Road, in that stretch where Reading actually feels like somewhere people live rather than just pass through. This is a proper Brazilian coffee operation—the kind of place where they actually care about their beans and know how to pull a shot. Walk in and you're greeted with the smell of fresh coffee and the warm chaos of a café that's genuinely busy because people love it, not because it's Instagram-famous. The pastéis are the real draw alongside the coffee: flaky, golden, filled with proper ingredients that taste like someone's nan knows what she's doing. It's casual, it's welcoming, and it's the sort of spot you'll keep coming back to.
