Took my daughter here for lunch, service was excellent, offered us a free lemonade to try, food was great, nice sized portions, inside the building is really cute.

I ordered online to pickup at 3:10 pm on 10/07 and when I arrived no one was in there. No customers no workers nothing. I was there for about 15 minutes and tried calling them 6 times while standing INSIDE the building. I then went to the other building and it was apparently closed at the time. I went back into the cafe and yelled again to get attention and nothing. So I finally called the steakhouse next door. They weren’t really apologetic to me and they gave me a free dessert but that doesn’t make up for the waiting after they told me my food was ready.showing up and they weren’t even there to help. I will not be coming back. That was really bad service.

The Terra Grill is fantastic! We were greeted promptly. The person working asked us if we'd been there before and if we had any questions. We ordered 3 Sfihas: a cheese, a Brazilian sausage & cheese, and a Nutella & strawberry. He also convinced us to try the cheese bread. It was all served hot & ready to eat. My favorite was the sausage & cheese - but it is hard to choose a favorite, they were all outstanding. We ordered the food to go and the person working offered us each a small glass of the Brazilian Lemonade - made with limes. Wow! I'd go there just for the lemonade!
There was also a small "party room" in the back which appeared to hold 20+/- people in a separate room.
Try this place - you won't be disappointed.

The mango smoothie was delicious! Super thick and fresh! It was the perfect amount of sweetness and not artificial tasting at all. Definitely will be going back!

Service was good but the pizza wasn't even close to being done. The bacon was raw. Disgusting! Shame this was our first and only visit.

Unfortunately, the so much waited experience was not good. We travelled about 3h to have lunch and dinner at this place yesterday and the service staff was lazy, the environment was dirty, including tables with left overs and the food was a far cry from the Brazilian cuisine. The pastel was out, the empanadas were over fried and greasy and the pizza for dinner came wrong and when we asked the staff, they challenged what we ordered instead of fixing the issue. We will not go back and we don’t recommend it.

Somewhat novel menu. I ordered the turkey avocado sandwich which was amazing. So good and so much avocado for only $8. I also had the ham and cheese sandwich. My boyfriend didn't like the cheese, but I thought it was good. Perhaps Cheddar and maybe mozzarella. We also had a tropical smoothie. VERY seedy. It might have been part of the pineapple rind. May have also been the passion fruit seeds. Neither of which should be eaten. My main concern was that I placed an online order for a later time. Prepaid. When I arrived, it wasn't ready.

There was only one person working the entire store and man she knocked it out of the park! She was calm under pressure! She was fast without losing quality and accuracy! She was friendly and the dessert was delicious! Looking forward to returning!

Kid-friendliness: They were very welcoming and I would see absolutely no reason why you couldn’t bring a family with children in there

I saw a Facebook ad for this place. I love trying different ethic foods so I couldn’t resist. I had an Açaí bowl. It was crazy delicious. I will definitely be back to try other menu items… the Sfihas look so good!

Solid food for a solid price. Sandwiches we ordered were pretty good and a great value for 12 dollars and that includes a drink and fries.
