Colleen HartmanNovember 19, 2013The bolinho de aipim com carne will bring me back again and again. So happy to have found this place a couple blocks from my office. My inner Brazilian is happy. Super friendly staff too.
JawnApril 14, 2013amazing food. try the tropical mimosa, chicken wings and the sandwich that has chicken and I believe mozzarella! the banana pastry is to die for. the waiters could be better but def try the food!
Social News NetworkJune 29, 2012A Brazilian friend introduced me to this hidden gem, this place is amazing & legit! . We shared all of this: Pao de Queijo Trio, Um Pouco de Tudo, Estrogonofe de Frango. Look it up and enjoy: Read more
Frannie MarmillionMarch 13, 2013Super yummy gluten-free cheese bread... I even had to ask the waiter again to make sure they were really gluten-free because they were so good! loved the yucca fries too :D
The gouda cheese empanada is the absolute best! The cheese bread, well you'll definitely be in for a surprise of you choose to try them. YOLO!
Jenise OvermierMarch 29, 2013Treat yourself to the passion fruit mousse. It is the BEST dessert. Also our server Daniel was courteous and so thoughtful!
Gauri ManglikMarch 8, 2012Amazing! Even great for vegetarians. Sit outside on the patio if possible. Try the cheese puffs and acorn squash. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Nicole BarnesAugust 11, 2010Stop. Don't move. Go eat here. Best best best salad I have ever had...let me tempt you with goat cheese stuffed wine-baked apple atop a bed of spinach and romain with walnuts and cranberries...vinegar
Zach YearyJanuary 6, 2013Ask for the ricotta lemon zest and spinach stuffed empanadas. They are sooooo good!
CultureMap AustinJuly 5, 2011Their cupcakes aren't sweets, but rather snack pies filled with vegetarian ingredients. Their travel-sized nature makes them an easy doggy bag option.
Their breakfast Meat BBP and hot fragrant tea is delicious and affordable.
Tamanna ShaikhSeptember 1, 2011Such a cute, fun environment in the patio with live (Brazilian) music and dancing!
- Jackie GranelliApril 25, 2010Everything is delicious here. Head over while they still have free mango mimosas at brunch ( liquor license in June). Also, byo cachaca caparinha setups.
Great gluten free cheese breads and options! Yucca fries! Great food and patio
Everything is wonderful. Try the green sauce on a vege pastel
Umm i will take all here please. Flan is a must. So good sometimes they run out
The pastel de banana and a coffee is great for breakfast!
alex hopesMarch 27, 2012I'd suggest coming here near the end of the work week. On Tuesday, they were out of half their menu.
Mackenzie RobersonOctober 24, 2010Sooooo good. Don't pass up the cheese bread, yucca fries, or salad. You'll be sorry if you do.
Renee MorganOctober 30, 2011Waitress charged my friend 97 bucks on top of 9.48 for a meal. Not the brightest waitress ... Check your tickets
Rosemere CortezJuly 5, 2014Comida boa. O atendimento pode melhorar. Demorou muito para a refeição ser servida
