Since I'm a big fan of Pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread), it's so grateful to come across this place. They sell not only cooked cheese breads but also frozen ones which I can cook anytime at home whenever I want to eat them! (I was making them from scratch before I found them.) They have some sandwiches with the cheese bread also. (gluten free) The chewy texture of the bread goes well with their sandwiches' filings surprisingly.Well, if you're really a big fan of Pao de queijo, I reccomend to try this place!Thank you, Desirre, Karla and another lady(I forgot to ask her name :p) I'll be back soon! :D

I so wish I took pictures! My friend and I had the picanha (steak) sandwich on pão de queijo and yucca garlic fries to share. It was GREAT! The steak was juicy, not over done, they yucca fries had fresh minced garlic. They have outside seating, and the staff wears masks. This is one of my favorites (and it's a trans safe space too!!!?️⚧️?️?)

I stopped in on my way to Berkeley for a quick bite. Originally planned to get coffee and cheese bread but the woman at the counter said a sandwich would only take 7 minutes. In the end, the sandwich took 40 minutes. No one else was in front of me in the line and there were only 2 women sitting outside and having coffee, so it didn't make sense to me. I was really disappointed by how far off her estimate was and got to my meeting really late BUT the steak sandwich I got was phenomenal. The meat was cooked well, had some fresh greens, and was made on a pao de queijo bun. Yum! There is very little seating, maybe 3 tiny bistro tables and very little street parking outside on a quiet street. I would absolutely come back but with realistic expectations of how long it will take for me to get my food.

Love their açaí bowls and their cheese breads. Also love their service. We make this a weekly stop these days. The superfood açaí is delicious!

The true açaí is made by the Brazilians. This is the real açaí taste, not the frozen gelato stuff.

I studied abroad in Brazil a couple years ago and I was so excited to find a place with affordable Picanha and my goodness cheese bread as the bun to these sandwiches!?!! I did a online order and although it said my pick up time was at 11:05 I stopped by at 10:55 and it was ready for me! I am a bit bummed because although the buns were hot, the Picanha was lukewarm BUT it was still delicious and super flavorful. And my God I will definitely definitely be coming back for some more. The sandwiches do look tiny but it filled me up and it came with a little salad as well. I do wish the side of garlic cheese bread were fresh when I bought them but they were still good cold. The risoles tasted... too fried for my liking. I'm super excited to try the açaí bowls and coxinha the next time I'm there! Obrigada for the amazing meal! I spent about $28 something total (which also included tip and tax) The steak/picanha sandwich - $10 Garlic cheese bread (5) - $5 Risoles (corn cheese) - $8

Food is amazing. Had high expectations from previous Brazilian food experiences which were exceeded! The cheese bread, empanadas, and cilantro sauce we’re delicious

My açaí bowl was really bad. The peanut butter tasted like Jiff, which is just not the quality you’d expect, and there was way too much of it. Truly at least 1/2 a cup if not more which was over powering. Similarly there were so many hemp seeds I couldn’t get a bite without my spoonful being half full of them. The blueberries were previously frozen and mushy. My husband got his açaí bowl with honey instead of peanut butter, but still got peanut butter anyway. Be aware if you have allergies. We also got the Brazilian cheese bread, which was tasty but they gave us the jalapeño instead of garlic.

One of my favorite spots. I eat here during the week on my lunch breaks and on the weekend as a treat.
Ordered both of smoothie flavors via door dash. They are SO good. Tastes like they have real fruits and veg in them. At $6 each, I was not expecting something so fresh! My coworker says she feels the same about her food. I give my smoothies an 100/10!

Great option if you want to try something new. Cheese breads are very addictive. Though I don't think their texture works well with the sandwiches. Sandwiches are smaller than expected in size, but loaded with meat and quite flavorful.

I regularly crave the açaí bowls and cheese bread from this place because it's so good! Whenever I'm feeling a light lunch or snack, I like to swing by here or order from them on Doordash. The açaí bowls are packed to the brim with toppings and the cheese breads are so chewy and delicious - I especially love the guava ones! They do have outdoor seating but there are only three small tables so you may not get a seat.

This place has been on my must try list since forever. I was super excited when my partner decided to stop by in the middle of running errands one weekend. Parking was easy to find on the street and resulted in a nice stroll building up the anticipation of some cheesy goodness. Upon entering, the place was empty and had two workers that were engaged in conversation. I didn't want to interrupt, so I looked around and at the menu. I noticed few cheese balls in the display, so I wasn't sure what they actually had and didn't. I asked and the workers answered me but were short and kind of rude. I asked for five balls total mixed with whatever was available. I would've ordered more, but I had other questions about their offerings and felt unwelcomed and like my presence alone was a bother. Honestly, my experience was quite disappointing because when I got home and bit into the bread balls, they were delicious. I want to go back and give the rest of their menu a try but I don't know that I will. Taste? 4, probably a 5 when freshly baked and warm. Customer service? Two.

We wanted to try this spot out after driving by a couple days ago and finally got to stop by today. We ordered two separate dishes, the Coxinhas and Brazilian cheese bread bacon flavor. * Ordering: ordered online through the Yelp app. Pickup estimate was 30-50 minutes after ordering. * Pick up: the lady inside was very nice. Customer service was good. * Food: I'm sorry there's no food photos to post LOL we ate the food on our way back home. Those Coxinhas are bomb. We also liked the cheese bread but might stick to the regular ones if we ever stop by here again.... I'm sure we will be back, especially for those Coxinhas.
