Well, I am Brazilian and just seeing the menu I knew this place was not a legit Brazilian place. No Brazilians working there either. I tried the cheese Balls and I make a much better one at home. Cute place though I like the plants everywhere. If you really want to make it a Brazilian place I recommend deeper research on our food and most famous açaí that has condensed milk in it. Americans might like it the way it is though…
There is this place in San Francisco called Cafe de Casa and maybe you guys can learn something from them… kind suggestion.

Really bad service, very expensive for small portions! Paid 20 dollars on the big portion that was not even filled through half. Also, 2 hours before closing was sold out of cheese bread and all warm savory options. Disappointing!

Great for a healthy choice. My acai bowl had excellent flavors, fresh (and refreshing). I felt better about myself after eating here. They seem to want to keep their pricing reasonable.

A wonderful breakfast place with very friendly owners. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is fantastic! I had the avocado toast with hemp seeds which can be made vegan by omitting the sauce.
Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian
Dietary restrictions: I have an egg and peanut allergy and the owners were very nice and helped clarify if the bread is egg free.

I've lived in the neighborhood for a while, and this used to be one of my absolute favorite spots. It was always a bit pricey, but it felt worth it. Recently, though, something seems to have changed—maybe new ownership? The portion sizes have shrunk to a laughable degree. It honestly felt like a joke—one raspberry, two tiny kiwi slices, and a bowl mostly filled with granola. It’s sad to see another Portland spot take advantage of loyal regulars who are willing to pay anything to stay healthy. Disappointing to see yet another place shift from quality to capitalizing on the trend instead of staying true to their roots. Good luck !

The acai bowls here are delicious, they use fresh, healthy ingredients with a variety of options.
I've tried several of their bowls but my favorite is the Power. Funny enough, I've had the bowls at events instead of the shop so I'm looking frwd to visiting the store the next time I'm on Alberta. Staff is great and the owner is involved in the community so I give them extra bonus points.

Loveeee this place! I’m a huge fan of açaí bowls and haven’t been able to find authentic açaí locally until coming here! There’s a lot of beautiful outdoor seating on the large patio with lush greenery throughout that makes you feel like you’ve transported on a tropical vacation. Even the bright colors all around just make you feel happy. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious! I had a custom acai bowl with the rio base topped with fresh peaches, mint, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and granola alongside their delicious iced chai tea and house-made Brazilian cheese bread.

Food was good. Waited about 45 minutes for 2 bowls tho. 5 customers who arrived after us were served before us. They forgot about our order. I specific asked to make sure they had the original cheesy breads but it was given to someone else in line and the online orders that they were prioritizing over the customers that were already there. They gave me the vegan one which wasn’t great. Didn’t offer to comp but gave us 20% off. Won’t be coming back unless I have all day to wait and want my order wrong.

The açaí bowls here are really yummy! It’s a great breakfast spot. There’s good indoor seating when it’s raining and even better outdoor seating when it’s sunny.

Eclectic hippie spot for delicious acai bowls! The menu is extensive with plenty of options for customization (I recommend researching before going). The acai bowls were dense and nutritious with a generous amount of toppings.I ordered the ultra bowl and added blueberries! The acai is not too sweet and the fruit toppings were ripe. I love the almond butter they use! Superbly nutty and not too oily. I would avoid the cheese bread. It was a bit too chewy, spongy, and pale. The acai shines here.Expect to pay $14-18 for a medium size acai bowl and $4-8 for a drink. Street parking is plentiful.

I ordered the Ultra Açaí Bowl, which includes the ipa base (peanut butter, blueberries, chia seeds, and banana) topped with gluten-free granola, sliced banana, almond butter, dates, and pumpkin seeds. Mine had strawberries instead of blackberries, but I didn't mind. It was fresh and satisfying.
Some of the best most authentic tasting açaí I’ve had. Portions are satisfying and staff is friendly. Pro tip: add the cardamom cashew butter.
