    I've been craving Brazilian cheese bread after eating one from a Brazilian steak house and this place definitely satisfied my cravings for it. Their Pao de queijo is a large enough portion where you can half it. Also tried their cheese waffles but it didn't have the same cheesy bounce that the pao de queijo has. But the dipping sauces was a great addition and paired even better with the pao de queijo. Might just order that on the side next time. Overall, the ambiance was very chic. Saw a couple dogs sitting on the floor with their owners so I'll choose to dine in the next time I bring my pup.

    I came here because of the reviews, but now I'm questioning if we all went to the same place. After landing from my flight and walking down along the Fisherman's Wharf to see the piers, we stopped at Cafe de Casa for our first bite and a place to cool down. The interior is honestly gorgeous. There's a lot of seating and fun decor all around, and it feels like a place you'd want to sit and hang out for a while. The menu is displayed on the wall and offers Brazilian style cafe items like cheese breads, sandwiches, pastries, and specialty drinks like matcha, coffee, and seasonal beverages. Right away though, the service felt off. The workers came across pretty uninviting and seemed more focused on chatting with each other than interacting with customers, which is always a red flag. The prices are also pretty steep, which might be because of the location. I ordered the pistachio matcha and the Brazilian cream cheese sandwich. I don't like my matcha too sweet because I want to actually taste the matcha, so I asked for less sugar. Instead, I was told they'd just add less pistachio cream. The drink ended up being really disappointing. It tasted super flavorless and almost watery. The pistachio cream itself was nice and had real pistachio pieces on top, but it didn't save the drink. For almost $10, it just didn't make sense, especially when their regular matcha is around $7.60. Also, there were no prices listed for seasonal drinks, so you don't really know what you're paying until checkout. The cheese sandwich was good and warm, filled with that Brazilian cream cheese. It was enjoyable, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. It's about the size of a McChicken and priced at $7.60, which feels a little high considering there's no protein, just cream cheese. Overall, I'm not sure if this is just a tourist spot because of its location near the piers, but I left more confused than satisfied.

    Delicious pastries, can't wait to try!

    Another "Too Good To Go" find- and it was amazing, I want to return. First, this Brazilian cafe has the most beautiful sandwiches at incredible prices. I can't think of a spot where you can get a basic sandwich for $10 muchless these cheese bread sandwich beauties with salmon, Brazilian cream cheese, dried beef and shredded mozzarella or tomato, mozzarella and avocado. Or with Prosciutto di Parma, arugula, ricotta and fig jam. Ok, that'll cost you a bit more at $15 but you catch the drift. We received for our TGTG bag a box of three enormous savory and sweet pastries. One was filled with shrimp, another was a cinnamon sugar and the third disappeared so fast I just heard a mumbled "It's really good!" (thumbs up). Coffees, açaí bowls, crepes and delicious juice drinks, we need to return for a proper sit-down experience. Three locations at Fisherman's Wharf (Beach Street), Castro (17th Street) and South San Francisco. Service was very kind, it's an ideal spot to slow everything down and enjoy good food. Obrigado!

    Cappuccino (8oz.) Brigadeiro COFFEE

    Love the cafe. Bumped into it while roaming on Fisherman's Wharf, very close to Ghirardelli Square. A Brazilian coffee shop offering pastries, desserts and coffees from Brazil. They have Caramel Flan, Brigadeiros, Cheese bread and various other brazilian faves. They also serve a Brigadeiro coffee which I ordered. It was cappuccino served in chocolate/condensed milk laced cup. So for sweet coffee lovers just a stir would do the magic. They serve it both hot and iced. The interiors are roomy and decorated with real plants all over the cafe. Loved the seating and menu choices. Must try when there.

    Cafe Bombon (4oz) (espresso sized)

    I was looking for lunch options before a fleet week boat cruise but the area is pretty touristy. Not this place, it was gorgeous and delicious! There was a pretty long line at noon on a Saturday but it was moving at a decent clip. I ordered: - the cafe bombon drink: STIR BEFORE DRINKING. Otherwise the first sip will be bitter espresso, but the brigadeiro sauce is at the bottom which gives it the perfect bitter sweet balance - cheese waffles with brigadeiro (chocolate sauce) and doce de leite (a less sweet variation of dulche de leche). The "cheese" wasn't too savory and contrasted nicely with the sweet thick sauces. I may or may not have eaten the remainder of the sauces with my knife after I finished the waffles and these are gluten free! I need to come back to try the GF crepes and sandwhiches. Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby but several paid garages nearby - gluten free options in entrees (not pastries)

    PDQ Ham and Cheese, green juice
    Eva H.

    Absolutely loved this place! Great cafe close to Russian Hill/Fisherman's Wharf. I appreciated how organized they were with respect to ordering in person vs doing online pickup, especially on busier weekends. Prices were pretty reasonable. $10.50 for a large green juice that's fresh made was solid! I also tried. - Coxinha - objectively good, maybe not for me; if you aren't normally a fan of creamy pulled chicken, don't feel pressured to get this... - PDQ ham and cheese sandwich - simple but delicious - Enroladinho de Queijo - coconut bread stuffed with mozzarella cheese. This was my favorite! I love sweet and savory things. Altogether a great, spacious location to grab a drink and pastry in the morning.

    In San Francisco you can enjoy the taste of Brazil while on a Beach ( not El Rio but Beach street in SF) . This place use to be a TGI Fridays(the stories) .Inside it feels like to you stepped into an urban amazon jungle as you stepped out of the concrete tourist trap jungle in SF. There are lots of plants inside to give it a natural ambience. This place has a little resemblance of the former Rainforest Cafe at the Wharf without the bells and whistles and minus the theatrics .You see and meet lots of tourist inside and some asking for drink and food recommendations in SF. The Cafe de Casa serves Brazilian classics like Pão de Queijo (Portuguese for cheese bread )and the Açaí with berries along with some empanadas. I usually enjoy trying the BBL (Brazilian Brigadeiro Latte). I tried the latest offering which is a hybrid of Dubai Chocolate and BBL (Brazilian Brigadiero Latte )and it's called the Dubai Brigadeiro Latte. The drink was not too sweet and chilled on ice. The drink also had the Dubai chocolate with pistachios on the rim on cup like a Margarita has salt on the rim. It was a pleasant surprise it was refreshing and gave me a jolt. The Casa de Cafe is an oasis if you want to have a personal reading session, study session, work session, or a squad yap session. After going to Pier 39 for the 7D ride for a "thrill"and lunch at the tourist trap called the Wipe out Bar and "Grill" I headed to the Beach ( street) across from Buena Vista Cafe a few blocks from "Russian Hill" for a taste of "Brazil" Casa de Cafe ( House of Coffee) where Chimichurri sauce "will spill" on empanadas with a "shrimp fill" while enjoying a "BBL" ( Brazilian Brigadero Latte) and the Dubai Brigadeiro Latte is so refreshing you want a " refill"

    Awesome little Brazilian cafe located right in the heart of SF. Having been to this place several dozen times at this point, the vibes are super chill and the menu is plentiful. Nice little getaway from the craziness of the city.

    Hot chocolate, iced doce de leiche & l'avella
    Nicole O.

    Cute café near Ghirardelli Square with a great ambiance and delicious drinks. We didn't order food, but the egg sandwich looked really good. The guy at the counter was friendly, and the staff was quick to clear and clean tables. It is a bit pricey, but that's expected given the very touristy location.

    Coxinha, Sertaneja
    Elle K.

    It's not every day that I see a traditional Brazilian tapioca on the menu! I was so excited to try and the tapioca did not disappoint. I think they may have made the cassava crepe before and assembled it because it didn't seem made to order. I could totally be wrong but it was a ~little~ hard. Coxinha was excellent! Brigadeiros were delicious. Long line that moved quickly and friendly staff :) Next time I am in San Fran I will most likely go back. Very cute atmosphere, must say.

    L'Avelã (back) & Enroladinho de Queijo (front). $9.05 & $6.65, respectively. A bit pricey, but fresh!
    John N.

    Cute cafe with tasty pasties & coffee. I tried the "Enroladinho de Queijo" (coconut bread with mozzarella) and "L'Avelã" (cappuccino made with Nutella). The bread was served warm and was fresh. The coffee was ok, could have been a touch stronger, but the Nutella made for a unique flavor combination. Total came to $17, which i think is a touch on the pricey side, but the location is also in a very touristy area, so it's understandable. Great space to work or hang out for a few hours, very open floor plan and spacious, comfortable seating.

    One of the best acai bowls I've ever had 5/5 Coffee 5/5 Very chill hipsterish ambiance A great rest stop or meet up spot Ample seating

    Carla K.

    The acai bowl is fresh and pretty. There were so many people in line but it was organized and easy to navigate. The employees were managing the crowds well and very attentive and respectful. The seating is very comfortable and the area is spacious and modern. It's a great place to meet up with friends to enjoy Brazilian pastries and brunch.

    Pretty inside!

The dishes were between $15 - $20, and the kabob plates allowed you to select two sides from 3 selections (yucca flour, yucca stew, and beans). I've had yucca, but not in flour or stew form. I thought the stew would be a soup, but it was a steamed piece of yucca, which was not bad. I learned what it was after ordering it. Also, yucca flour is literal flour that is in a small ramekin that you would sprinkle on all your other food items. I am pointing this out to anyone who is a first-timer at a Brazilian restaurant. I experienced, got schooled, and passing the knowledge to you. As the previous reviewer said, the pot of chili in oil on the table is fire, so eat in moderation. It has fantastic flavor but is very, very spicy. All the dishes were unique and tasty except for the beef kabob, which was overcooked steak on a stick.

I was honestly surprised and blown away by this dish because I changed my order a few times! Most of the menu is in Portuguese with barely any English! I couldn't read the names of most of dishes, but thank god for Google Translate! So I wasn't sure what I was ordering.... This was the perfect dish in terms of flavor, taste, texture, and quality! It has all my favorite elements! Crispy Mini Fries, Juicy Succulent Shrimp, Cheesy Rice with Ham & Peas! The Fresh Acerola (Brazilian Cherry) Juice was also a little bit sweet and tangy! New type of juice I tried for the first time! Definitely coming back to try the Picanha aka Queen of Steaks (Top Sirloin Cap Steak) and other tasty dishes on the menu! Overall 5 outta 5 for food, taste, quality, service, and ambiance! If you want a great dinner restaurant with wine or a delicious lunch with a beer, this is the spot!

Matt had been talking about Brazilian steakhouse every time he saw something that reminded him remotely of Fogo de Chao, so I figured this opportunity might be of interest to him. Come to find out that the day after I make the reservation he asks if I'd be willing to go a Brazilian steakhouse for the long weekend, so I got to surprise him with the fact that I already had a reservation. I'm not the biggest fan of Fogo de Chao based on my prior experiences there. I do believe that I have been to a Show de Carnes location before and had another great experience, but also Show de Carnes's Memorial Day promotion was slightly better than Fogo's and I much preferred that their location was outside of the city even if on the other side of the bridge. I did have to call the morning of to delay our reservation slightly, but it was taken care of for us without hassle. We even got seated closer to the original reservation time when we ended up running early. There isn't much space to wait in the front lobby area especially on a packed night, but everything looks very upscale from the wine bottles on the wall to the crystals above the self-serve side buffet. As far as mandatory meats, I have a couple of personal rules when it comes to Brazilian steakhouse, including go light on the sides and only go for the beef. Picanha is my favorite, extra rare too, so I made myself a whole pincanha meat salad while probably giving the guy cutting the meat a good scare. The grilled pineapple is also a must, followed by the cheese and honey. Matt got a lot more variety but it takes a while for the guys to come around with meat that has already been sliced up some so I can get to the parts that I like. We got a papaya cream and passion fruit mousse for dessert, which we probably really didn't need but enjoyed thoroughly as we are both dessert people. As it was a busy night, it was not too easy to flag a server down. I saw picanhas skip our table left and right so I'm not sure there's an established route for them to bring the meat around. The staff did seem to work together with great teamwork, and someone always stopped by to make sure we had more water and our choice of sides. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone that is a protein or all you can eat fan. The regular price per person is definitely steep in my humble opinion, but if you can catch a promo it'll be a great time. Also, don't choose between still or sparkling, ask for tap. I will not be getting got again next time.

My party of 3 dined here on a Saturday for a little girls night and snagged a reservation on short notice (just a day prior). Honestly, the experience was underwhelming. We ordered a pao de queijo to start with two entrees to share. The pao de queijo, coming with just three measly balls, was dense, dry, and far from worth the hefty $8 price tag. The pao de queijo at Fogo De Chao is far superior which is not saying much, but at the very least, the famed Brazilian BBQ restaurant chain offers their bread gratis. The two entrees we ordered were the seafood stew and half rotisserie chicken. I'll admit the chicken was wonderfully cooked with every morsel succulent and juicy. But, the bed of rice was a tad too overcooked and the scant vegetables left the cohesive whole disappointing. Again, the seafood stew was underwhelming and the pilaf-esque rice seemed to make up the bulk of the "stew." I'm not sure if I'd dub seafood atop an oz or two of gravy as stew but perhaps stew is a subjective term.

I've come here around 4 times before and have eaten everything from both the Italian and Brazilian side of the menu. Dominic and the family that owns the restaurant is warm and inviting, and he walked us through the menu and its history with his father the first time we came. The menu is authentic and reflects the cultures of his family and we loved that. The pizzas are made fresh and they make it every way from thin crust to Detroit but what really gets me here every time is the cornmeal crust pizzas they offer. It's very unique and the crust is the perfect sweet crunch that compliments every bite. I usually get a pizza and way more apps than it is appropriate for one person but they're just that good. The Brazilian cheese balls come with a sweet strawberry jam that I have to smear on every bite. The French fries are the same McDonald's cut (if you're a fry enthusiast like me, you'll know that the cut really matters). The bruschetta is fresh and loaded with tomatoes. And each variety of the croquettes they have are delicious but I often get the chicken and cream cheese ones. They're seasoned really well and creamy. What really stood out to me the most about this place is that the restaurant feels like a part of the West Portal community. Every time I go for dinner, there's a woman who's there eating her dinner. The first time I went she mentioned she comes here everyday and to my surprise, she wasn't lying. That last night, I watched her there again 4/4 times eating her dinner. On my last night, I ate my pizza while I watched Dominic and his friends grabbing a beer together catching up at closing time. And I watched regulars say goodbye like they were saying goodnight to a good friend. Mozzarella di Bufala feels like home in a different way, and I can't wait to come back again in the future when I'm visiting SF.
