Cafe Brazil - Breakfast pablano and hash brown casserole - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I was searching for a breakfast spot open super early as it was only around 6:30am on a Sunday morning. Got super happy when I discovered Cafe Brazil. Thought maybe I found a cool hole in the wall or a Dallas hidden gem. That was not the case. The restaurant is a bit older which isn't the issue but the tables show it. The menu wasn't expansive but I did find something worth my appetite, the chilaquiles. It was a lot different than anticipated. The tortilla chips were crispy but instead soggy. The chicken it came with was pretty good though. I got house potatoes with it and they were on the bland side. Overall this meal held me over till lunch. So it served its purpose. The lady who took my order was quick and nice as well. My food was just under $20 read more

I only bought a bottle of water so I'm not commenting on their food. Why do you charge sales tax on a bottle of water? It's illegal to charge that tax. Do better. read more

If you get hungry like me at 3 in the morning and need a spot for just about anything, look no further! Not only was it quick and easy to order, but the food was GOOD good. You know that feeling when you wake up craving French toast and they deliver exactly what you were hoping for? Yeah, I almost cried! As the self-appointed President of the Late Night Eating Club, I highly recommend all members make their way here. Grab a seat on the patio at 3 AM, enjoy the vibes, and thank me later. P.s it's freezing cold if you stay inside to eat and yes they add 20% gratuity read more

The food is okay. Ambiance is trash but it's acceptable because they're renovating or whatever. Terrible service though. They canceled my DoorDash order just because they didn't want to take any more orders. DoorDash doesn't even let you order right before closing, so they can't use that excuse. I checked with DoorDash and they said the restaurant canceled it, but when I asked the worker, he tried to say DoorDash canceled it because they were closing...even though I ordered about 30 minutes before they closed. I ended up ordering in person, and the worker gave me what looked like half a slice of cake...One of the layers was completely missing. Definitely felt intentional. read more

24/7 restaurant right in Deep Ellum to stop by after a long night. My coworker and I wanted breakfast, I wanted to go to Waffle House and he wanted to go to Cafe Brazil. I haven't been to a Cafe Brazil since 2018, so why not? The loaded breakfast bowl was alright, but it left us both feeling not so great. Service and ambiance were alright. Although Cafe Brazil does a have a bigger menu with more varieties, I would still stick with my go to due to it being cheaper, better and service I get is usually great. read more

Cafe Brazil - Loaded Breakfast Bowl with Chorizo and Turkey - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Food is getting g worse with time and it's such a shame this is use to be a good spot for breakfast. First my order, which was the veggie omelette, toast and fruit cup. The veggies were cold as the fruit and the only thing warm was the coffee and omelette oh and the toast was horrendously burnt on one sided the service was prompt but my goodness the place was trashed. It was so bad I even offered to wipe off my own table. This is hurting my heart writing this because I love this place but the quality has certainly taken a dive. Also customer service isn't what it used to be. After bringing my disappointment up to the server she made no attempt to fix the issues. I promptly paid and will never be back again. Oh and they only had two kinds of coffee available. Go figure. read more

As others have said, this place is going downhill. It's not what it started out as, was one of my favorite breakfast spots in the Dallas area. The banana french toast was just ok, it definitely was not up to expectation. I give 3 stars because the snicker latte was a big win. It was good. I hope this place goes back to its roots! read more

Omg I'm obsessed! They have 5 different coffee bean roasts to try and that was exciting. The portions were huge and everything was delicious. Service was super quick easy and very kind! They have a little bit of everything on the menu so will satisfy everyone! It seems to get busy as the day goes on but around 9 am Sunday was perfect read more

Good size portions for a reasonable price, pretty good flavor, although a bit greasy. The potatoes had rose merry which was a lovely flavor. I also enjoyed a caramel macchiato which was sweet with a strong coffee flavor. The service was friendly and relatively fast. The ambiance isn't fancy but is more diner like. read more

Overpriced and charged 18% gratuity for a party of 6 even though it was 4 of us handled the costumer service horribly as well

This isn't so much as a review as it is a tip. I would avoid ordering the seasonal pumpkin pancakes. I just tried them today and they lacked pumpkin flavor. I'm better off making them at home. The server was kind enough to take it off my check. I did like the bananas foster waffle though. The foster syrup they do well read more

So I've been to a few different locations but the outcome still seems to be the same, not good. We walked in and the waitress was at the bar area eating her meal. She greeted us and told us to sit anywhere that we liked. Then we waited and waited for someone to assist us . . . We were the only people in the place (I should have known better). During the wait, I go to get coffee. The first two coffees I attempted are empty. I flag down a staff member and mention this to her and she proceeds to make a new batch of coffee. I go take a seat and we are still waiting for someone to come help us. She finally comes over and I had to request a menu and we put in our drink orders. She comes back with the drinks and we order our food. Now I go back for the coffee and still NO COFFEE - I see it has been brewed so I call another staff member to please sit it out so I can get some coffee. Sadly, the coffee isn't what I remember being so great about this place. We get our food and as much as I love crepes, these ain't it. Crepes are thin and light, these are thick and chewy. I was excited to share my crepes with my niece as she has never had them before but I had to tell her not to eat those as you don't want to start your food experience on a bad note. My niece didn't request tomatoes in her omelet, it was filled with tomatoes. The waffle lacked flavor . . . It was just disappointing. Overall I think that my memories of this place is what made me come back but I think this place will sadly become part of the memory as well. read more

I love the Deep Ellum location. Staffers are always very friendly and make you feel like you are at home. I have an ESA small dog and he is always welcome there. My husband died 4 months ago and the staff have become to know me and do their best to raise my spirits during this horrific time in my life. My husband was killed in a fatal car accident. I'm still trying to come to terms with my new (alone) life. The food is delicious, the staffers are compassionate and I have not ordered anything I didn't like. 10 thumbs up to Cafe Brazil and their staffers. read more

I loved my breakfast order from this place that I ordered through doordash. I ordered Hashbrown casserole & banana bread french toast, along with hazelnut latte. I loved the french toast as I am a banana-bread lover. The flavors were perfectly balanced. It also had fresh cut bananas and strawberries that tasted good. The hashbrown casserole was good but I was expecting them to send side salt & pepper to enhance the flavor. The hazelnut latte was good too but had extra sugar in it. The food was good & worth the money. Would definitely try more dishes from this cafe. read more

Cafe Brazil - Outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Cute cafe in Deep Ellum. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon for a lunch with a friend. Most restaurants were closed at this time of day in Deep Ellum, but we ran into Cafe Brazil and there was only us and one other person at this time. Very chill, cool colorful decor and an impressive coffee display. We started a cup of coffee, there's a cute self-serve setup with 5 different kinds to choose from and all the fixings. We also ordered the southwest egg rolls to start. They are made to order so they came out very hot and they are huge- it took me about 5 bites to finish one. It comes with avocado ranch and sour cream, I really enjoyed the avocado ranch with them. Our server was super cool and very knowledgeable about the menu. A hot pick was the chicken waffle and bacon breakfast. It comes with all three of those things plus a hash browns casserole and over easy egg. I don't eat eggs and they were cool with making it without the egg. The chicken fingers were lightly battered and seasoned perfectly. The waffle was nice and crunchy with a fluffy inside that soaked up the syrup. The casserole was was nice and cheesy and the bacon was the cherry on top. I really enjoyed everything and it was really intimate and quite. My only feedback would be the flies- we sat by the window and the flies were going a little crazy and it slightly disturbing. read more

Cafe Brazil - Amazing Coffee selection - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Best coffee - and the temp is always spot on - you don't have to wait for it to cool down. Great coffee - big selection.

Street tacos delicious I recommend the chicken Breakfast tacos has pancakes as tortillas Not much to look at. A great hole in the wall. This place is a local hangout I never would have found if not for a recommendation from my friend. There was a huge selection of dessert and so many breakfast options to try. When I am back in town, I plan to try out this location on my next visit. read more

Food was good. But we had to order our food at the counter rather than receive table service outside. Did not understand why? The place needed cleaning. Only a few patrons were eating so staff was not very busy. Someone should have cleaned up the litter on the floor: paper napkins, pieces of paper, etc. Carpet needs replacement. Restaurant needs some investment: a fresh coat of paint, new carpet, new tables and chairs. I used to be a regular customer of this location, but the place has really gone downhill. read more

Horrible service ordered Horrible service if you go late. We went after a conference and ordered a full meal, and after our table finished and we got up 3 times to ask about our food and 30 minutes later. we got this, and then cold pancakes. They forgot our order. Very disappointing read more

FOOD POISONING Writing this as I eat. A sausage cheese and bell peppers omelette with hash browns on the side. I've seen roadkill more appetizing than what they brought out.

It gets an extra star for being one the only places open late, but unless you are THAT starving please do not come here.

I was so excited to go to Café Brazil after checking them out at the Morning After Brunch last month, but I was super disappointed in not only the food, but the service as well. After getting seated and checking out the diverse menu I was super excited to try the turkey Migas. Our waiter recommended it and the crepes that my friend got. I am not a huge coffee drinker, but the waiter insisted that I get a shot of espresso. The espresso was super strong and had a very bold profile, so I sipped it slow while waiting for our food. Our food was brought out fairly quickly, but it was cold. My friend and I thought that is may be possible because of the dishes we ordered? I was surprised that the eggs in my turkey Migas was cold. As I proceeded to eat I was surprised that the waiter recommended this as the Migas were not super flavorful. The potatoes and eggs were missing a lot of flavor and just overall did not taste good. It was the same for my friends crepes and bacon. They both were tasteless and cold. He does not like sending food back, so he just ate as much as he could, which was very little and stopped. With each bite I could tell he was so unhappy. Our waiter, who disappeared until the check appeared, was not very sympathetic when it came to our opinions about the food. His response was "well you know not to get that the next time then". I was expecting a helpful response, but not that. I definitely would not come here again just based on the customer service, but the food really needs improvement. Sorry Café Brazil. read more

This place is great! They have a delicious and unique vegan burger as well as some surely amazing vegan tacos for just $9.99! The burger was a house made black bean patty that didn't really hold together but it was kind of fun to try and figure out different ways to consume it. The whole grain roll and all the toppings were terrific as well. They serve breakfast/brunch 24 hours a day so that's awesome too. Love the super chill and cheerful vibe of this place. Our waiter was very helpful and even helped us to navigate the city. Overall it was an awesome meal and an even better experience! read more

Staff is completely incompetent. Completely forgot my tortilla soup and I ordered the Mexican omelette and ended up with a chicken fried steak. Those two things are nothing alike. I guess you can't expect anything in deep ellum to be decent anymore. I assume everyone working in here is just as drunk as the people walking the streets of deep ellum. Don't order food delivery service from this Cafe brazil. They don't answer the phone either. Trash. Absolute trash. read more

Honestly this hurts my heart. This use to be my go to spot in college but has gone down hill. I had the bacon chicken and waffles today with fries . Only thing edible was the chicken and the eggs. The fries were soggy bacon half cooked and the waffles were also soggy. Even the syrup was runny and had a funny taste to it. 22 bucks wasted. The service is ok but I'm pretty sure they hire people with past substance abuse problems which I can tell from the conversations they have with each other in front of customers. The vibe is typical DE all walks of life mingling together. That part is still awesome but man they gotta whip those cooks into shape read more

Slightly busy for Wednesday morning but ample parking. I like the Deep Ellum vibe. Green walls & some funky art on walls. Due to Covid no longer able to sample all coffees.

Cafe Brazil - Chorizo empanada plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It's been a couple of years since I've been to Cafe Brazil. Usually the food is delicious and authentic. Unfortunately, it is not anymore. We ordered the chorizo empanada and Chilaquiles. The food came out quick but it was lukewarm. My tortillas had a bean and a blueberry stuck to it. Mind you my meal doesn't come with black beans nor fruit. The empanada was hard and cold inside. The Chilaquiles was soooo salty it was not edible. Our server was great but we didn't finish our dishes. We just paid and left. read more
