Why anyone who knew of this bread would ever eat any other bread is beyond me. This Pão de queijo is phenomenal!!!! I also ordered crepes for our kiddos and they loved them!!! Will be back!

Their combination of food and coffee goes together so well and I particularly love it because they have delicious Brazilian food being done in a way that works perfectly in a coffeehouse setting. Tem muito gostoso e te agradece o que vôces estão fazendo!

It is a nice place to enjoy a good coffee and pastry. Located on a main street, limited parking outside.Pleasant interiors, clean restrooms, good service, they even serve the coffee in real mugs, which is much better than disposable.The downside - the chocolate muffin was salty, perhaps too much baking soda. And the prices are a bit too high. The wall mounted tables are too high, uncomfortable.Still a good experience overall ?

Vegetarian options: Pastries, bagel and cream cheese

Good spot! Food isn't great, but the coffee is good and so is the service, plus they have a good mix of table, couch, and bar seating, and free Wifi with a $5 purchase, although there is a strong Xfinity public wifi signal, so if you have Comcast and just buy a coffee, you can still get on the Xfinity network.

The restaurant doesn’t play music which is uncomfortable, the coffee was watery at best, the food is decent if you get the cheese bread but we waited 30 minutes for our food and 10 of those minutes the food was dying in the service window. Overall not great, won’t be coming again.

Brazilian cheese breads made with tapioca flour and breakfast sandwiches made using it. Great for those looking to avoid gluten and for a tasty breakfast roll that is not a donut, scone or bagel. Coffee is Brazilian, so darkly roasted.

I was staying at a nearby Airbnb and looking for breakfast, I found this place and it was quite pleasant. Not crowded, good service, I ordered the Fotissimo plate, eggs overeasy, bacon, sausage, 3 pancakes and home fries. The home fries were perfectly spiced and piping hot, everything else was nicely done too. The simple coffee with milk was perfect also. A simple but hearty breakfast.
