Kitanda Espresso & Acai

BRASIL NÚMERO UM!!!!!! The Pão de Queijo is really good here. Im a big fan of the Ham & Cheese Americano and the Coxinha. I also recommend the Açaí bowls and the Café Cubano. The market is also a goldmine for Brazilian snacks and grocery.

I really like it, but their coffee is sometimes very hot, I often have to pour more milk to cool it down. ?

The staff is friendly and this place is always delicious, but the store is very outdated. Please upgrade.

Nice neighborhood cafe with some light food options and snacks! Also has a supermarket area where you can buy all sorta of Brazilian goods.

The smoothies and coffee are great! Really loved the Acai smoothie I got. The lattes were also both very pleasant and not too bitter or over diluted with cream. The smoothie wasn’t overly sweet, which I loved.

Thought the sandwiches were good, but I wasn’t a fan of the sour tasting meat pockets. I generally like them to be savory, but that could be a Brazilian thing. The bread though was very soft and fluffy. I really liked the chicken sandwich: the bread was very stretchy and there was a good amount of cheese with arugula. Sort of like a Costco chicken bake on steroids.

everyone knows this is my go to acai place!! the acai is fantastic, never differing in quantity. BUT if the cheese bread is on another level! we bought a pack of the frozen ones and started making them at home- they were THAT good! i would 1000% rec buying the frozen packs of 15 cheese balls for ~$20. and the coconut cheese pastry is also so good! if youve never tried the pastries here ur missing out

Miserable ordering experience -

I happened to be in the area and wanted to give them a shot. I went inside and to their credit they looked fairly busy. I went order counter and it was unattended for several minutes.

After being ignored, I wandered over to the self-order kiosk. It had their products and prices but the menu has to reload everytime someone ahead of you completes an order. The connection is horrible though. Pictures and blurbs about the product are SLOW to load while scrolling. I imagine this is what the first cavemen wifi was like.

Frustrated, I gave up and walked out. I'm sure their coffee and food are great but the ordering experience was simply the worst.

Such good food and coffee! The Brazilian latte and cheese bread sandwiches were standouts. I'm absolutely coming back for breakfast.
For anyone who feels there's a language barrier there are self order kiosks. I don't personally believe there is one, but it's there.

Very Brazilian coffee experience. But the morning breakfast rolls were incredible. Dense, slightly sweet buttery bread with all my favorites inside!!

Language barrier is a hard stop and may cause others to not want to go back if the staff cannot understand what we're trying to order while always looking and treating us as if we're a burden to them because we do not speak their language. I was not impressed and this'll be my first and last time visiting this establishment. Opinions do vary, I am very aware. I know there are a lot of good reviews for this place as well and perhaps those good review people have been going there for sometime in which case of course they would be treated different. But that is not how it should be. All customers whether old or new should all be treated the with the same respect. Ok I'm done ranting.
