Alfajor (caramel cookie sandwich)
Gladys E.

I stopped by to buy a few things that I enjoy. It was slow but suddenly the line after me became busy. I bought coixinha (chicken) and kibe (beef). I usually also buy some groceries. I am a little disappointed with the high prices, which is not surprising. I bought 3 items and the total was a little much for what I know these items cost. Everything and everywhere things are most costly and unfortunately I never know the prices as they don't provide receipts unless you request. Last time I asked I noticed that there was an extra charge. I am not sure if the charge is for paying with credit/debit card Honestly it's a nice cosy place, coffee and more to enjoy! Only be advised to check prices and extra fees.

So, this is a very cute Brazilian coffee shop with an adjoining mini mart. Visited here because I have an affinity for quaint shops and I needed caffeine. STAT. Stepped in and was impressed by the overwhelming coffee choices for such a small place. I ordered an iced pumpkin spiced cappuccino (because.... It's Fall, y'all!) and tried their cheese bread, which is exactly what it sounds like - melted cheese in a soft doughy round bread. The cappuccino had an authentic taste to it as it didn't automatically remind me of Starbucks or Dunkin whilst the shop had a nostalgic feel because a lot of their foods reminded me of my past Caribbean life. I would visit here again, if only to bring a book and sit outside while enjoying their coffee. A missed opportunity for sure, but I look forward to capitalizing on it next time.

Coxinha and rissoles made for a great snack!

On my continuing ethnic bakery quest, I found Araras on Yelp. Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon with my in-laws. The store is modern and clean, with a nice case of choices. They also have a little shopping area with Brazilian delicacies next door. We had a chicken coxinha and beef rissole each while at the shop and touch a selection of desserts to go. The coxinha and rissoles were delicious, perfectly zesty with great texture. They came with dipping sauces that were a perfect spicy addition. We also grabbed 4 of the cheese breads to serve with our dinner. Those were also great! Perfect chew to the bread and some nice cheesiness. We saved the desserts for after dinner. We had brigaderos, alfajores, coconut cake, and a slice of dulce de leche cake. The dulce de leche cake was quite nice, moist with flavorful icing. The brigaderos were perfect chocolatey bites. Alfajores deserve their own paragraph. They are stunning!! The caramel filling is decadent. The thing I won't soon forget is how light yet rich the cookies are. They melted together with the filling for a cookie that's hard to beat. I'm also breaking out a paragraph for the coconut cake. It's a dessert that unravels in your brain a bit. You go in expecting one thing and get something a bit different. The texture is thicker than expected, the flavors are subtle and present themselves in pops, the level of sweetness is just right. Another really enjoyable bite. I look forward to trying more at Araras!

Iced brigadeiros to start spring, around $4 each.

IG: challengethezagat Support local businesses! Despite the pandemic, their quality and prices are reasonable and always on point. I've yet to explore several things, but their coffee is meant for beautiful spring days. Iced bonbon and hot brigadeiro lattes are still a family favorite!

I stumbled upon this amazing cafe while looking for coffee on the drive home from a short stint in the Hudson Valley. To my absolute surprise it's a cafe full of authentic Brazilian food, snacks, coffee, and desserts. My husband is from Brazil so I surprised him by bringing him home some of the delicious treats and he was SO excited we went back the next day! I wish I had gotten her name, but the girl behind the counter made me a PERFECT latte, spoke fluent Portuguese (as I think most of the staff did), and was super helpful and sweet in helping me choose what to get. This is a true gem and even though it's over the bridge for us, we'll be back soon!

I had passed Araras many times and always heard good things about it, but it's a bit out of the way from my morning commute so I never found myself stopping here for some brew. That all changed though when I was feeling a bit of a thirst midday, and since it was a nice day out I decided to finally check out Araras. The menu has a number of creative coffee beverages, as well as smoothies, pastries, some savory dishes, and acai bowls. Araras specializes in Brazilian products, and a number of items pay homage to the cuisine and culture. I wasn't looking for much except it had to be cold, so I went with the iced cappuccino. The drink was pretty good - smooth, chill, and nice flavor. Overall, I was really impressed with Araras. White Plains sorely lacks independent coffee shops, so I'm glad this one exists. I look forward to my next trip to Araras for some more coffee and perhaps a little snack =)

Cute cafe, delicious pastries, PERFECT COFFEE. The front ladies were super sweet and nice, and everything came out in a few short minutes.

Pocket-size Brazilian café, is located way past the bustling Mamaroneck strip. But it's nicely filled with Tropical touches and lots of specialty packaged goods, Breads- even Cheese. If you're a fan of Brazilian goods, then Araras is your place and you're in luck. Sweets, like their well-known Brigadeiros look adorable and so tasty. Alfajores in Chocolate and other flavors, are all displayed so cute on their see-through shelves. My visit was short- just coming in for a cup of Hot Chocolate but their Alfajores caught my attention and settled on one- to try out. For one, the lonely Caramel Alfajor I had, was freaking unreal. In all honesty, wanted to put that sucker right in my mouth- but forced myself to be lady-like. Anyhow... Hot Chocolate made fresh with 'dark' Cocoa powder, was spooned from a glass jar, into a steam milk machine. She added Whole Milk and steamed away, poured in a cup, pump of Whip Cream for 50¢ (really?) and a dash of the curliest Chocolate swirls on top...cute touch I thought. Good quality for their standards. Kudos to the ladies here for being Westchester's biggest coffee winner and pushing Araras to where it's at. But aside from their coffee and......Hot chocolate- my Caramel Alfajor swept me off my feet! And reason enough to return- for those!

I love this place! Their coffee is the best I've ever tried, and I love my coffee! Their food and chocolates are great, too! Everything I've tried here is super yummy! Their ambiance and atmosphere is relaxed, too. You can sit and enjoy your coffee (and food) there, or you can get your order to go. I would highly recommend this place!

If you like their coffee, they have the whole been for sale and some t-shirts and sweatshirts with their name/ logo. It will be my new go to coffee spot when I hike in this area.

I ordered a matcha latte, blueberry muffin, and egg bites. The matcha latte was awful. Based on reviews I read, a few mention how good it is, but mine pretty much tasted like a hot milk drink, barely any matcha. I am a matcha connoisseur and have had very very good matcha, and I am pretty picky. If this is you at all, then I suggest to skip. It's just not good. I ended up tossing it The egg bites- they were $11, and they were Kirkland Signature brand. Wish I didn't see that. They were fine, but $11 is pretty much robbery. Also, they were still cold when I bit into it :(. If all you need to do is heat it, then heat them thoroughly?.. The blueberry muffin was fine. According to another review, they are sourced from Balthazar. Cannot confirm or deny. Service was friendly, and the shop itself is cute. Maybe the coffee here is better? But not sure, and doubt I'll be back to ever know.
