    16oz guava matcha
    Lilian Z.

    Came on a weekend and the place was packed. It was much bigger than I was expecting inside but we couldn't find a seat in the 30 min we were there so decided to take our food to go. I tried the guava matcha and pan de queijo and both were solid. The matcha was strong but too sweet, even at the "less sweet" level. The cheesy bread was flavorful but very salty and way too small for the price of $4. Overall it's a solid place that I'll return to for drinks but I will def try to come at a less busy time.

    Food: Pao de queijo was SO good! Even better warm. Their lemon meringue matcha was also delicious. Service: Line is LONG but moves fast. Ambiance: SO BUSY!!!

    If you love pão de queijo, make it a point to visit this spot in Cambridge. It's a spacious cafe with plenty of space to sit and enjoy a long meal. Or you can grab coffee and pão de queijo to go. Assuming that the pão de queijo would be small, we ordered two traditional and four with guava to feed myself and my nine-year-old daughter. Little did we know that they are huge with so much guava that it spills out with most bites. We left very full and very satisfied. They are chewy and delicious! And the guava inside is mouth watering.

    Ah bom dough what a CUTE cafe! We came here after taking a yoga class down the street to grab a bite all together and it was such a great spot for a small group gathering. Even though it was clearly bustling we were able to find space - it didn't feel crowded - and the staff when beyond to help us make sure all allergies were recognized and the food was adjusted properly. Shout out to consistently fantastic service and a great location! We had 2 of the eggs and greens, the potatoes were fantastic and one of the eggs were switched out for poached eggs since the main batch is mixed with cream. We tried the gluten free mochi which was DIVINE. Totally recommend coming in to share some happy space with great vibes.

    Yummy pao de quejio, but the value is questionable. By 1:00 pm on a Monday, they were out of several key ingredients that they use on their sandwiches including bacon and mozzarella. Service was also disorganized and rushed. Matcha latte with oat milk was pretty good.

    I LOVE bōm dough and would be here all the time if I could. This is an adorable cafe/brunch spot with a good amount of seating and delicious, well-priced food and coffee options. This is a great spot to take a friend to brunch, or to work during the weekdays (they have a no computer policy on the weekends, likely due to the demand). Their pao de queijo is the star of the show! You can either get it as its own pastry or use it as your bread in one of their sandwiches. I've gotten several pao breakfast sandwiches throughout my visits and they come with tasty sauces on the side that enhance the experience. Their breakfast gnocchi is also unique, yummy, and big enough to take leftovers home. I've tried their mochi waffles, which are chewy and soft at the same time. Their flavored lattes are also delicious--most recently, I got the raspberry mocha latte. This place can get busy on the weekends but tables tend to turn relatively quickly. It's less busy during the week, so sometimes I come here for a coffee and a snack and to work. I love the green decor and the airy vibe. I feel like they could also charge much more but I'm always pleased at how fairly priced their food is (compared to some other brunch spots).

    dulce de leche pao de queijo
    Mel N.

    I order some takeout and was pleasantly surprised! I got the good pesto brisket sandwich with pao de quejio dough, dulce de leche filled pao de quejio, raspberry mocha latte, and iced guava matcha latte. Wasn't sure what to expect, but the sandwich was delicious! I added habanero fig mayo and it made everything so much better. My only gripe was it was pretty greasy but nonetheless flavorful. The dulce de leche pao de quejio was also the perfect marriage of salty and sweet. Lots of dulce de leche was inside and my belly was content. The drinks however, were not anything special. I wouldn't get them again. I recommend the sandwiches and the dulce de leche pao de quejio!

    My friend was excited to share this place with us. Turns out I had been here before for a prior Yelp Elite event years ago. Having only tried their traditional pao de queijo, I was excited to be back again! We got a variety of items including their smoked salted caramel latte iced w/ traditional pao de queijo & doce de leite pao de queijo, crack chicken sandwich, and breakfast gnocchi. We thoroughly enjoyed their delicious drinks in the comfortable and quiet environment. The name crack chicken was fitting since it was so addicting to eat. The gnocchi was also delicious drowning in the rich tomato soup/sauce. Overall, we had a great experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm very happy to have come back again and be more than satisfied with my visit. Looking forward to the opportunity coming again!

    The strawberry matcha was AMAZING. I would definitely come back just for the matcha, the strawberry flavor was very strong. The cookie was pretty good, a little pricy but the cookie itself is bigggg. Fun to get but probably wouldn't again just because outside of the novelty of this giant cookie with chocolate, it tasted like a standard cakey chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate. The bacon benedict was pretty good, the pao de queijo was very enjoyable. However, outside the pao de queijo, the rest of the meal was just decent, nothing too special.

    Love love love! I'd been wanting for a long time to come for pao de queijo - Brazilian chewy cheese bread. My first visit did not disappoint! The Sunny Stack was impressively loaded with scrambled egg and tons of avocado/guacamole on the side, and the (BBQ-based) happy sauce on the side indeed made me very happy. Warning: it gets very messy once you add the two to the already full sandwich! The pao de queijo bun was even better (chewier and cheesier) than expected. It was very reasonably priced too. The guava pao de queijo was filled with lots of delicious guava jam. I had leftovers for dinner. The bread texture was different but still enjoyable. The entire sandwich smushed down a lot over the few hours, which actually made it less messy to eat. They have a sign saying no computers allowed on weekends. I saw a mix of people on laptops, people chatting, and people just focused on eating. Spacious with plenty of seating. Service was great too!

    Such a cute lil cafe! Fresh and bright atmosphere and food. I just wish the portions and water cups are bigger!!! Super busy on the weekends so would be smart to ask a friend to grab a table while you stand in line. Definitely a great place to catch up with friends. I want to come back to try their guava matcha latte!

    Pao de quejo
    Abigail C.

    Came for the pao de quejo and definitely was not disappointed. I ordered a 4 pack and ate it over a couple of days- the bread warms well in a toaster oven and maintained its chewiness.

    Great food and super quick/efficient service! The weekend line was a little long but moved really quick and food was at our table within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The Brazilian cheese bread pastries and sandwiches are pillowy and delicious and they have an excellent array of coffee and tea drinks.

    Thank you, Muqueca, for warming me up…read more Fish with Shrimp Moqueca: Made in the Capixaba recipe, this version replaced red palm oil and coconut milkthem with tomatoes--which happened to be my favorite. The broth was warm, flavorful, and refreshing. The initial notes are the sweetness of onions and bell peppers, followed by the delicate aroma of cilantro, leaving a clean taste impression. The whitefish fillets are tender and flavorful, yet still retain a subtle chewiness. The Pirão sauce, made with the fish broth and tapioca starch, was rich and thick, enhancing both the saltiness and umami, even reminiscent of Cantonese style abalone sauce. The two flavors were distinct yet complementary, a true delight with rice--though fresh, higher-quality Thai jasmine rice would be better. The earthenware pot, bearing the marks of time, kept the food warm; the portion was also very generous, perfect for sharing. I ended up taking some home for a second meal. Flan: Although I was quite full, the deliciousness of the moqueca piqued my interest in trying dessert. The pudding had a smooth and delicate texture, unlike the often sticky flaky texture of supermarket flans. The egg flavor wasn't strong, while the caramel syrup was rich and smooth, with an irresistible initial bitterness followed by a delightful sweetness. Plus, the syrup was generous, making it wonderful to coat every slice of cake in it. No wonder it's their signature dessert. Hot Sauce: The homemade hot sauce was highly recommended by my server. It didn't look very spicy, but it was far beyond my tolerance. However, I must admit it was incredibly delicious, with a refreshing citrus flavor and a smooth, emulsified texture alongside the spiciness, creating a very rich flavor profile. Being unable to handle spice is a real shame in its presence. The server's movements were elegant, the service attentive, the pace comfortable, and he satisfied some of my curiosity as a cuisine lover.

Service was attentive and nice. However I noticed a few things... The servers carrying the meat weren't the most customer friendly. Overtly quiet, barely smiling or talkative. The manager scored major points for taking the time to visit our table, introduce himself and make sure we were taken cared of. However the manager did proceed to have a meeting with his servers near all the dinners. Overall, Fogo de Chão is great. Worth visiting if you're craving Brazilian BBQ or dining with a group.

If you love meat and high quality.....this place is for you! FOOD: This is where things really take off. I let them keep it coming, flipping that green placard and trying everything from beef to chicken, from sausage to those rich, fatty cuts of steak that just melt as you eat them. The quality of the meat stood out immediately, well-seasoned, cooked right, and served fresh throughout the night. The side dishes were not an afterthought either, they held their own and complemented the meats perfectly. I also had a caipirinha, Brazil's signature cocktail, and it was refreshing, balanced, and exactly what you want alongside a meal like this. AMBIANCE: Located in South Boston, near that wonderful circular swingset, this place is like located in a hotel. Once inside Alma Gaucha, you get upscale vibes. There is a lively, upscale energy in the room. It feels like a place built for celebration, whether it is a birthday, a group dinner, or just a night out where you want something memorable.

SERVICE: Top notch across the board. The staff was attentive, engaged, and always one step ahead without being intrusive.

It has been consistent for the most part in terms of their food selection, but this time they did not offer Fraldinha or Alcatra anymore on their Dine Out Boston menu. Their cold/hot food bar is better than Fogo's selection by far. It seemed there were more limited meats that came by especially since we were seated close to the entrance of the restaurant despite my card being green the whole time. I would expect everything on the limited menu to show up at least once and the wait time for specific cuts of meat took way too long even with requesting a cut from the staff. Somehow the cheese with honey never shows up either. I went during weekday lunch and the restaurant was semi-busy in the front half of the place up until the end of my visit in which there were only a few tables left and I still didn't get any additional Picanha. They came around with the cheaper alternatives more often. The meats I was served were seasoned well, but the variation in temperature for cuts I got were somewhat off putting despite requesting medium rare each time. There were some perfect temps to start off, but half the time they cut me thin slices of well done meat. That was my table's experience this time around unfortunately. I'd come back again since I've had many better experiences here over the years and I hope this was a fluke and not the fact that it has gone downhill.

The Food~ The spicy sausage is juicy and rich with a bit of a kick. The garlic and regular Picanha meat are also soft and tender. The crusty skin with the garlic and salt bits mends well with the meat. Paired together with the jasmine butter rice neutralizes the saltiness and pulls you back for more. The oxtail and soup is also very good. The warm soup with the tender oxtail paired again with the rice is the perfect combo. There wasn't a lot of vegetable options but I'm not complaining :) The Logistics~ There is plenty of parking on the street and also a public parking lot near Blanchard.

She'd mapped out a perfect little afternoon and evening, starting with an indoor market that was full of local art and vintage charm. By the time we wrapped up there, we were hungry. With so many restaurant options around, we chanced it and landed here. The moment you step inside, you're hit with that scent of garlic and seafood. My kid and I gave each the 'look' that said: this is it! Casa Portugal is inviting and decorated in soft blues+whites giving a coastal feel and the service equally matched the energy perfectly: attentive and kind. Our plump and juicy shrimp in tomato sauce starter was rich and full of garlic. It was the kind of appetizer where you find yourself wanting extra bread just to sip up that garlicky sauce. For our main plates, my kid picked the grilled octopus, and I went with the sea bream. The octopus was "like butta," and had that perfect char on the outside but silky inside. My sea bream was nice and I particularly liked that they got rid of the head and tail for me. Both our man plates by the way- had a nice amount of potatoes and steamed vegetables. And here's another part that really stood out- pricing. For the quality and freshness of the seafood, everything felt reasonable. All in all, come to Casa P. for a good meal.
