Staff is not friendly when communicating the rules of the establishment. There is effective communication when your server has a smile. She didn't deserve a tip and appears she made one of our coffees wrong on purpose as she made us pay in advance fine we had to leave because we brought pastries in from Cretia's bakery down the street. 1. You cannot go to the bathroom unless you order first 2. No outside food (just coming in for a beverage (coffee) will not suffice). Rude communication and the coffee was subpar. Based on other reviews, so glad we didn't park there! read more

I enjoy the chicken crepes when I visit. I order a single pancake to satisfy a sweet tooth. The service is very hit or miss. Our server was too casual for me and disengaged for me. However, I know there are other servers at this location who are naturally pleasant. I may not remember a name but I look forward to their friendly face. read more

I had some out of town visitors who wanted to try the restaurant and I hadn't been in years so I suggested the bishop arts location. When we arrived I was surprised to find parking in their very tight lot. Over to the left I saw a public parking sign but more on that later. They were quick to seat my table of 7 and took our orders quickly. Server was nice as well. He did come by with a parking lot QR code sign but I must admit, I didn't think it applied since I was in the lot. But again I'll circle back. Food came and my sandwich and fries were fine, but quite basic. It wasn't bad but I expected more. Ok, about parking. We had a discussion outside about parking, signs and the QR code that was provided. We realized even in the lot directly in front of the building you should scan a parking app and enter your info. I went back in to scan the code, but I believe it was too late and shortly I will receive a !90 dollar! parking bill for not scanning the QR code when we arrived. There's a lot of talk online about this location, the parking situation, and the $90 parking bills... I guess I'll wait and see but can already confirm my visit was not worth such confusion. And it for sure wasn't worth another $90 (we spent around $200 already!) read more

Was looking for a good brunch spot and had been wanting to try cafe Brazil so figured why not. While the food was delicious from the brunch tacos which they use real cotija cheese in to the banana bread French toast to the mimosa with blood orange juice, the service was lackluster. We had to ask our waitresss numerous times for straws, if there was a cake in the back to purchase etc. we asked so many times that eventually we asked a different tables waitress and she helped us out. If not for that the experience would have been great. They also offer a large assortment of spots to sit inside and outside read more

We sat for at least 15 minutes before anyone came to our table, while servers walked right past us without even acknowledging we were there. We eventually had to flag someone down just to place our order, which took forever to arrive. And when it finally did, the food was cold; there were only two of us! This place has really gone downhill, and I won't be coming back! read more

There is absolutely nothing Brazilian about this restaurant. Not a single Brazilian food on the menu

The food was pretty decent, the coffee to milk ratio of all of their drinks was disappointing; however, when we told them they immediately returned with an extra shot of coffee. The service was extremely kind and pleasant, a bit slow but we didn't mind since they sat our large party almost immediately and returned quickly with our drinks after we ordered. read more

First time going here for breakfast. I ordered the Cholula spicy Chicken, Bacon and Waffle. Food wasn't really spicy but good flavor. Service was slow but it was kinda busy on a Sunday afternoon. Bottomless coffee was a nice addition. Got to try several different types of coffee while waiting on food. read more

I've been here before and brought folks here and thought I had left a previous review so I'm taking that into consideration with this review. First let me start off by saying that they are understaffed and it's HURTING then badly!!! We visited on a Monday morning and there were two waitresses who also doubled as hostess. When you walk in, there is a sign stating to wait to be seated and they do not seat incomplete parties. We were seated quickly, reviewed the menu and then waited for someone to come take our order. And the wait began. A lady walked by and I asked her can we order and she proceeded to take out order. And then there was more waiting. Eventually our food made it to the table and although it looked good, the taste was not anything to write home about. The crepe I ordered was bland, the banana were over ripped, the cinnamon bananas were under ripe. She totally forgot the juice which worked in my favor as she put it in a to go cup as we were done eating by the time she brought it. The French toast was covered in fruits but the bread itself didn't look like it has been soaked in any type of custard. I asked for crispy bacon however this was where bacon starts to have that dusty burnt taste. The saving grace was the frozen hot chocolate which was seriously good but as I came to eat and not just drink my meal, this visit was far from my previous visit. They need HELP!!! read more

We had dined earlier and were in another part of town doing a few things when the coffee/desert bug hit. So I pulled into a place I knew was solid for deserts and coffee(not at this location but in general). Unfortunately, there was one guy handling the entire dining room by himself!!!! So, I'm going easy on the review and I will say, He had an awesome attitude about working the entire front end by himself. Hopefully, he gets some help soon because I love the brand and don't want to see them suffer. this was my first trip to this location but I've never had a problem with the others. go with lowered expectations. read more

I ate here a couple nights ago. Out of town we. I LOVED it. So much so that I decided to go back tonight. I wanted the patio. It was empty. I sat out there and people watched the other night and wanted to do the same again. "Sorry the patio is off limits due to this work group here". The work group that wasn't using the patio. Seats me in the middle of the restaurant. Loud. Noisy. Completely lacking any view (see reason for patio). I wait. Ten minutes go by with no sign of anyone paying attention to my table or acknowledging me. But they have been out to the work group a few times. I called it quits. Disappointed. The service and food Monday night was top knotch. Thursday night left me utterly disappointed. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to go. Last week, a group of 5 of us went there for lunch. The parking lot is now a scan and pay lot. You have to pay before going into the restaurant. Once you go in the restaurant, there is a sign that allows you to scan a QR code that gives you 3 free hours of parking. Unfortunately, since you have to pay BEFORE going in, you are charged and you don't get a refund. My charge was $8.09 for 1 hour while another member of our group was charged $97.00. While the food is just ok, the parking situation is unacceptable. The parking charge issue was mentioned to an employee who said that we would be refunded the parking charge. This has not happened. Our group will not ever be returning to Cafe Brazil and they have lost me and my family as customers. read more

Don't think this will make my list of repeat visits. I was not greeted upon arrival. I wanted for some one to stop by to say sorry for the wait at the hostess desk but no one did so. The sign on the front read wait to be seated. Would you return? It was not a full restaurant inside or in the patio. It was only 3 tables with diners inside and one family of 6 on the front patio. Rosemary potatoes and Coffee were good. Period. Other locations are much better. I should have listened to other Yelpers.... take your dollars where they are appreciated. And, by the way, someone keeps an eye out for unexpected persons to park their vehicle in their parking lot and go enjoy the day at Bishop Arts other fine eateries and shops to have cars towed. Do not park here if you are not eating at Cafe Brazil or working out at the fitness center next door. read more

Randomly went here for dinner, we were sat immediately because it was empty. Ordered the chipotle steak and eggs. The steak was very flavorful along with the eggs. However the potatoes were very undercooked, I had to force my fork into them and was only able to eat 2 because I just couldn't take it. The diner itself is a tad bit underwhelming, the booths had holes in them so I definitely think it's time for an upgrade. read more

This place is conveniently close to mi casa so it's my go to for breakfast/brunch, I love coming here because they have a pretty good selection of vegan/vegetarian dishes. Also if you love coffee they have an open coffee bar with about 6 or more flavors to choose from, if you don't want the dairy creamer they offer oat milk and almond milk. My go to dishes are; French toast, Veggie migas, vegan tacos. So this visit I chose to try something different, I went for the grilled cheese with avocado and tomato, it was just alright they didn't really grill it down to perfection I still had unmelted feta cheese, I hate sending food back so I just ate it. Bestie had the black bean burger with sweet potato fries she enjoyed it. I gave this spot an average rating simply because staff and food can be a hit or miss, but as I stated earlier I pull up for the convince oh yes and coffee. read more

Been meaning to review this place for awhile. Went here with my bf the morning of his b-day to get some breakfast. The place was nearly empty, and just by looking around I could see why. This was the first time I've been here in the almost 4 years I've lived near BAD. While sitting at our table I noticed trash on the floor, food remnants under tables (not just crumbs but fries and lettuce) and the man who appeared to be the manager literally walked by what appeared to be torn straw paper wrappers on the floor numerous times dead center on the dining room floor. As someone who works in the industry this was absolutely shocking to me. It immediately showed the lack of pride and care taken in the establishment but you could see that by the ratty booths with duct tape on the seats and chairs with chunks of foam exposed. I ordered some kind of cold brew with sweet cream that was really tasty and a club with sweet potato fries. The food was fine. My sandwich was surprisingly good. The fries had a bit of an old oil aftertaste to them but they were nice and crispy which is awesome when it comes to sweet potato fries. You could hear the music in the kitchen blaring along with the music in the dining room which was rather annoying. It was weird that I did not see or hear any of the staff speaking to one another. Then I went to the restroom.... If I had gone to the restroom before eating I wouldn't have eaten there at all. It was positively disgusting. I don't know what I expected after seeing the manager/owner guy walk past trash on the floor of the dining room numerous times, but if there is no care as to how the guest areas are taken care of or the cleanliness and sanitation of the restroom...I can only imagine what the cleanliness of the kitchen is like. Our female server was sweet but not very present. None of the staff that I saw looked happy to be there including the manager guy. When you don't care your staff isn't going to care. After leaving and on our way home my stomach starting hurting. Both my bf and I had to take turns using our restroom for a good few hours, putting a damper on our plans for the day for his b-day. Neither one of us felt particularly awesome the rest of the day. Giving two stars only because our server was sweet, but I won't be eating here again. read more

Food was good, at least mine wasn't cold but hubby reported his was cold. Service was slow. Ambiance is lacking but my omelette was delicious! Iced tea is also bottomless so I think that saved it for me. read more

If your undergarments have the flu, go to Cafe Bra's-ill instead. I remember about a decade ago when Cafe Brazil was the new thing. Everybody was talking about how awesome it is. The problem is, for me, it's not even Brazilian. I don't know what it is. Some kind of new American Fusion. It doesn't do anything for me. Prices are not cheap. And now there are something like 10 of them all over DFW. So I'm going to pass. I've eaten only at a couple of the locations - this one, and Fort Worth. They were somewhat similar experiences, I give them both a very average 3 stars. read more

I kept our order sweet and simple -- black bean burgers all around, along with cold brews topped with vanilla foam. Sister-in-law loved her vegetarian migas. Service was friendly but a tad slow -- pretty sure the place was slightly understaffed due to the pandemic. Five stars, anyway, as our vegan burgers were freaking PERFECT. read more

Overall it was okay not bad not great. Parking was not a problem visited on a Saturday about 12:30 for lunch and the restaurant has its' own parking lot. I had the smash burger which was okay. It is a two patty burger and comes with fries. Again not great not bad. I would visit again and would try something else. As you can see from the pics it was not very busy so getting a set was not problem and the service was not bad either. As for eye candy well I did not see any. It has potential for having some because of the location but there wasn't any this day. read more

I was pleasantly surprised !!! I was in town and my family took me for a nice lunch for traditional BBQ but aahhhhhh they had a "closed" sign on the door so we needed an alternate option. Lucky us!!! We waked just across the street to cafe Brazil and had a fantastic lunch before I was swept off to the airport. Portion sizes were great, service was efficient and friendly and the food tasted fresh and delicious! I am just surprised they weren't completely packed - the name threw me a bit and I didn't know what to expect but the options are diverse and seem to have great choices for everyone. GO!!

Pubic Hair Waffles on the menu today. We had not visited this location in a while, but it was one of the only brunch spots in Oak Cliff without a wait on Sunday. Now, we know why. Service was slow, food was mediocre. The worst part was finding what looked like a pubic hair in my waffle. I only wished I had found it before I almost finished my entire plate. read more

Horrible service. Came in with my girlfriend. Waited to be seated for ages even though there was plenty of open tables. Workers straight up ignoring us. We were seated without menus and were left waiting for our server while workers kept walking past us. One waitress made eye contact with us multiple times and didn't even say anything. Two people came in after us and had their food served before we even had a waitress come by to take our order for drinks, let alone food! We just got up and left. Absolutely horrible service. read more

This is my first time here, for brunch on Sunday. The menu has nothing Brazilian on it (unless you count black bean soup.) It's more like low budget Mexican. We had loaded fries and broccoli and Brussels sprouts 'cause we weren't feeling Mexican foodish. Basically boiled vegetables and prefrozen fries served with watery ranch dressing. There was loads of cheese, bacon, and jalapeños on the fries, but they were the kind that is made out of processed potatoes (not actually slices of real potato) so they were really greasy. I'm not saying we didn't eat it--and the prices were really reasonable. But it was more like a run down Denny's. The server was super sweet and the iced tea was excellent. But I won't be back. The most concerning thing was--the person who was sanitizing the booths where people around us had been seated was using A BROOM (that she had just used on the floor) to sweep them off. I didn't see her any type of antiseptic spray afterwards either. It really grossed me out. read more

Meets the basic needs of a breakfast. Coffee is served in coffee bar style which, for me, feels like getting my coffee at Wawa. This also means that the coffee is not always piping hot (mine was just warm). However, it's cool that I get to pick out a different coffee blend with each cup. The menu had a few healthy options so I chose the Power Breakfast with quinoa, egg whites, spinach, fruit, and avocado toast. I liked it and it was exactly as described on the menu. My husband was underwhelmed by the level of cleanliness. I was disappointed to not see any semblance of any food that was inspired by Brazil. Overall, it's a solid place to get a meal but with so many great options nearby, it doesn't quite compare. read more

Cheap and cheesy interior... Questionable cleanliness... I would say the same level of care would be found in a fast food restaurant. During the times of Covid-19, I would think having a "public coffee bar" or a "coffee buffet" would be less than ideal. The coffee was good, but room temperature. Menu choices were pretty good, portions were generous. I had the chicken and waffles which I felt were above average. My wife had the power bowl breakfast which she enjoyed. Would come back in the future, but maybe a kind of place you go to 1 or 2x a year maximum. read more

First, it took forever for someone to even come over to acknowledge that I was waiting to get seated. That should have been my sign to leave. But we wanted to give it a try. Finally seated and our waitress came over and took our drink order and then our food order. We got our food and our waitress disappeared and never came back to see if we needed anything, no refills, anything. After sitting there for like 10+ minutes after finishing our meal, we had to flag the waitress down to get our check. She dropped it off and disappeared again. So we just paid with cash and left. The breakfast was mediocre. read more

The reviews of this location is spot on unfortunately. Definitely don't go MIDWEEK because these are the nights when they try the new hires. I stopped in at 9:01pm last night basically because it got late and my appetite was really prepped for a different spot that happened to be closed. I walk in and I see 3 servers, 1 looks like she knows what she's doing, the other 2 were stumbling, bumbling, fumbling...you get the picture. One of them sees me, doesn't acknowledge me, walks by. The second person, Sonia(sp) a clearly older woman who is not haven't a great night but is VERY NICE, however, nice doesn't equal skill or speed. I sit down, I ask for water with lemons. 5 to 7 mins later, I get water, no sign of lemons. I place my order, Chips & Salsa for the appetizer and Veggie Migas for the entree. 20 minutes in, still no appetizer. No, they don't make their chips fresh. 25 mins in, here comes the chips and salsa, 1 minute after that, my entree comes. The Migas were good. The potatoes they were served with were warmed over and BARELY. Nothing worse than a freshly made dish right next to something that's clearly not fresh. I eat the Migas, I leave the potatoes. All the while, not one check from Sonia(sp),not one refill,not anything. She finally stops and I mention the lack of service and she IMMEDIATELY blames the cook. "Ma'am, the cook didn't bring my water late or my food out all at the same time." She long pauses....then just, reaches for the check. So I ask, "is this the response to my concerns, you just hand me the check and that's all?" More deflection. I ask her to get the manager on duty. Victoria, a very understanding young lady, totally agreed with my assessment of things and begged forgiveness because and I quote "I have to work with them every night and they're new and I've gotten many complaints from other customers." She discounted the bill and took my number for the manager. The Central Expressway location is better. read more
