Best açaí place in SF! This place is so cute and inviting. It’s been on my list, so I went on the weekend after a workout class. I ordered the Favela bowl without bananas and with agave drizzle rather than condensed milk and dined in. With the first bite, I knew this place was legit. Only one other place (Corner of Brazil in East Bay) have I gotten açaí this good and fresh. I enjoyed it very much, and each bite left me wanting more. Can’t wait to come back for another bowl and maybe a pastry or two next time!

BRASIL CAMPEíO DE MUNDOOOO ??????Very cool cafe with a depth of Brazilian flare that is hard not to like, from the food, to the groceries sold on the side, to the hot food (which was unfortunately not there when I was there). All those elements blend together perfectly into this quaint cafe with plenty of seating to boot.BRASIL NÚMERO 1 CAMPEíO PENTAAAAAA ?????????

Not shown in this picture but I can safely say the brigadeiro (chocolate ball) and pão de queijo (cheese bread/gluten free) is consistently on point ?. Definitely worth trying.

Amazing spot. Miguel is so kind and welcoming! The pão de queijo is gluten-free and delicious, as are the açai bowls (sem granola). Wish I still lived in San Francisco so I could come here more often!

Needed a great coffee show near me in San Francisco and I’m glad I came here. They have these addictive Brazilian cheese breads (pão de queijo) that are delicious. Make sure to come here when they come out fresh. They’re also home made. If you’re craving something more summer try their delicious açaí.The mission is lucky to have this coffee shop around. Owner is super friendly and welcoming.

They are under new ownership, and I have to say the new management is doing a great job. Their pastries and appetizer like options are fresh to order and staff is super friendly. Their pão de queijo cheese breads are home made by the owner himself who takes pride in getting the recipe to be as close to the ones from brasil as possible. Give them another try because the new management is doing a great job. Plus their latte is delicious as well as their acai bowls!

Delicious pão de queijo, absolutely demolished it. Clean and nice interior. They not only offer Brazilian pastries and food but also have Brazilian products ranging from biscuits to hot sauces.Coffee paired with their pastries ?

I really like what they did with this cafe. They made it even more hospitable and there are many places to sit. The addition of the hot food buffet is a really great idea. I miss the buffet at another place on Valencia that closed down years ago. The food was really good and moderately priced for SF. I had a nice portion for about $15-16. Had rice, tri-tip and chicken stroganoff and the toppings of a little bit of a salsa and farofa was really nice too. It was a good place to sit and eat without having to have a huge crowd or to wait for staff. Like the predecessors they also have coffee and Brazilian snacks such as pão de queijo, kibe and all the good street foods of Brazil and some pantry staples available for purchase.
