With the Santana's Breakfast, I was served two large pancakes! One would have been more than enough! Besides the American toast offerings, there are many Brazilian breads and pastries to accompany whatever you're having. Other than breakfast, I have enjoyed the pão de queijo, the sandwiches, a burger and most often, the coconut breads! It's hard to leave Santana's without a treat of some kind to have later....The bakery products are gorgeous! Also, the staff are very sweet, attentive, patient and hard-working. There are long lines sometimes and as another reviewer suggested, they should have a pick-up line for people who have ordered ahead. That said, the women really move fast and the lines do, too! Delicious coffee, too!

The staff is really friendly and the large is quite large. If you aren't a volume coffee drinker, go for the medium. They make poppers daily, I keep on forgetting to try them when I go. One of these days I'll get them hot out of the oven. The açaí is also great, nice and cold. The only thing I wouldn't revisit is the breakfast sandwich. The egg was cooked perfectly, but the cheese doesn't melt properly and the bun was toasted, but lacked flavor. If the bun was buttered, it may have helped.

It's a little small inside but it's nice and cozy so you can chill and eat your food for a little bit. The service is not too bad. It's a reasonable wait time plus most of the desserts. They just grab it and put it in a bag to go so you're ready. Don't have any weight to do anyways I would still come back for more desserts in the future since it's literally like four minutes from the house

First time visit and this is so fresh and delicious!…read more This box has a very flaky pastry topped with sweet brown sugary topping and inside is a sweet spread with ham and cheese. You have to hold it over something to catch all of the flaky pieces! There is also a ham and cheese croissant... their croissant style is more dense than a typical French style. It's more substantial and super fresh, like when you try fresh baked bread from the oven. Delicious. There are rolls in here with mozzarella type cheese baked in. The rolls are dense but very soft and pillowy/fluffy. All of the breads are a little sweetened, even the plain roll and plain croissants which would be excellent with any type of hot or cold sandwich you want to make at home!

I will 100% return for this Churro con arequipe - I thought I was getting a Mexican style churro so I was somewhat disappointed when I got a long donut filled with a sweetened condensed milk sauce, but it still tasted good Plantain with guava and cheese - I've never had this before and it wasn't bad, but I personally wouldn't get it again I made a pickup order through door dash and my food was ready 25 minutes early (This doesn't seem like a place that you need to order in advance and I am generally against restaurant intermediaries). I bought 10 items for $31 which isn't bad considering how long this food has lasted me. Some items were room temp by the time I got home and they all heated up nicely after about 10 mins in the toaster oven at about 320. I would highly recommend eating these items warm. I will most likely return at some point to try different items although I would reorder any of the above except for the plantain with guava and cheese. There are also plenty of baked goods and pastries at the counter that don't appear on the door dash menu.

They had a number of tables available for those who wanted to consume their purchase right away. Nothing was labeled, which makes it tough to order. No names, no prices. I went with a potato and chicken empanada, and an apple triangle pastry that was generously topped with sugar crystals. The savory was well filled, while apple shrank as cooked as always. Both were tasty. On another visit I tried a few other items. The pan de bono was a wider flatter version of the round bunuelos pequenos. I found that I prefer the former.
