The place looks small from the outside, but there are plenty of seatings pass the cash register counter. Great coffee with a cute little window nook to people watch!
Wow. Love having a bougie Brazilian cafe. All the desserts were delicious. Voted the pao de queijo sandwiches. The figo with prosciutto hit the spot. My partner ordered the bife and it was delicious and larger serving than I anticipated at a cafe. I didn't get a chance to try the coffee drinks but they all looked really good. Overall beautiful place to eat, work, people watch.
First timer but I had seen this café on the maps and wanted to go sometime. I walked in on a Friday around 3 PM and it was semi empty. I ordered a roca de Coco because I'm a huge coconut fan and had seen on the reviews that a lot of people were ordering the doce de leite so I got one too. My bread roll came out very nice and warm and it went well with the coffee I chose. I just think that the coffee is already sweet so I probably should've focused on something either more savory or less sugary. I absolutely loved the Rosca de Coco and I would go back for more. This is a Brazilian café. This establishment is huge in terms of square footage and amount of seating. There are plenty of tables whether that be for 2, 4, 6 or 8 people; definitely a nice place to gather and it's close to Ghirardelli Square and pier 39.
I came here to do some work online and grabbed a coffee, which was delicious. As I was leaving I started feeling hungry so I got an Açaí bowl to go. And it did not make it home lol. This was perfect. I'd come back just for this.
I love the place it's close to the beach and it's a perfect place for studying or catching up with friends. The food is also amazing.
Ok the acai bowls here are soo good!! I love how they're beautifully prepared and delicious. Definitely a go-to spot for acai in the city! Two tweaks that would make it better: - I wish the original bowl came with nut butter, it's always an addition - The acai comes with a sweetened syrup which you cannot remove from the base. I wish this was adjustable to not have added sugars
We decided to come in at nice sunny Saturday and enjoyed the experience . I got the drip coffee which was ok (nothing too fancy). They have some other interesting Brazilian-inspired coffee and food items , perhaps we'll give it a try next time
Café de Casa has been my favorite cafe in San Francisco for yeaaaaars. Every location, south city and both SF locations, has its own unique flare. The pastries never disappoint. My classic favorites are the coxinha for a savory treat and a enroladinho de queijo for dessert. You can also never go wrong with the Açaí bowl with peanut butter. The presentation of the bowl is always so fancy. Throughout the years I've noticed the same servers. They have always been so kind with big smiles on their faces. It's truly always a joy to visit and order my favorites and see kind people.
One of the best places to enjoy Brazilian food in the city is definitely Café de Casa. Since I discovered their flavors and textures, I've been hooked. Whenever I crave an enroladinho de queijo or a pão de queijo, I know I can find the best here. The service is excellent the team truly puts their heart into everything they do. From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, you feel the good vibes and the warmth that make you leave happy and satisfied. My absolute favorites are the hot chocolate, the enroladinho de queijo, and of course, the feijoada. Thank you, Café de Casa Team, for sharing a little piece of Brazil with us!
GTG: they have scrupulous Brazalian pastries. I got 2 empanadas, one with tiny shrimp and creamy sauce (empanada de camarao) and the other i haven't tried. I got the fried coxiha: fried croquette. Unfortunately I found a hair at the very last bite. Both were very flavorful. The inside looked very inviting. Great location. Take the F to the end of Castro and then take the end back to Ferry. Parking must be on side streets, don't even try on 17th street. You will be stuck with the dead end.
Café de Casa is my favorite café in the Castro. The decaf soy latte and pão de queijo are excellent. What makes this place special is João and the entire team. Their customer service is exceptional--they always make me and my pug, Max, feel welcome. Friendly people, great coffee, and delicious food. Highly recommended!
Well, my first visit wasn't what I would have wanted. However I have been back several times to give the place another go. I love that they use so much fresh fruit on top of the acai bowl Nice neighborhood hang out very comfortable place
Really cute spot! I got their iced dubai latte, coxinha, and rissole. They were out of the beef empanada the day I went. The Dubai latte was delicious, rimmed with chocolate had pistachios - so good but definitely pricey. For the pastries, I tried the rissole first which had beef and corn and there was so much filling inside which was amazing. It was good and made me full, but the coxinha was still sitting in front of me so I had to try the coxinha too. The coxinha had shredded chicken and had good flavor but I did like the rissole more. Service was great and the workers are friendly. Overall, a great place and I like how you can come here whether you want a pastry or a full meal.

A friend and I stopped by Cafe de Casa while we were hanging out in the Castro. We were drawn in by the enticing Brazilian pastries on display and were intrigued by the Brazilian coffee offerings. I tried the Cafe Bonbon (double shot of espresso with sweetened and condensed milk), and my friend ordered the Hot Brigadeiro coffee. Our order took about 10 minutes to be prepared, and while we waited, we watched yearningly as each pastry and espresso order was churned out. I noticed that a lot of customers ordered full meals in addition to pastries and coffee, so I will have to come back to try the food. We took our coffees to go, and my Cafe Bonbon hit the spot; the espresso was strong and paired well with the sweetened and condensed milk. The drinks were pricey - my friend's Brigadeiro coffee cost nearly $10 - but they were very decadent and tasted high quality. read more

Thank you Andrea! We appreciate your feedback, hope to see you again…
Came here with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon! The interior is clean, the ambience is great, and the staff is very friendly! We shared an assortment of their Brazilian pastries (both savory and sweet) - everything was delicious, especially the pao de quiejo! They had run out of a couple pastries, so I would recommend coming slightly earlier on the weekend - I will definitely be back to try their acai bowls! read more
I saw someone at the 24 Bus Stop with a green drink. Thought it was matcha but ...noooo...it's a green juice that's smoothie like! Cafe de Casa is your local Brazilian connection. Pastels or the equivalent Brazilian turnover/empanada and rolls with coconut (Yum)! I got that cold green juice (greens, pineapple & other fruit and coconut milk). Warmed up baked roll with mozzarella and guava jelly. Omg! Like what my granddad made when I was growing up. So fresh! The Café was packed with happy diners in couples and groups. A very lively ambiance! This is wonderful to find! read more
LIFE CHANGING experience! Had the pleasure of meeting João and was thrilled to get all the best recommendations! I will have to come back and try EVERYTHING one by one but today, I tried their Coxinha and iced Pistachio latte. JUST WOW! Also, their Passionfruit smoothie is so refreshing. Cute atmosphere, clean, great location and above all, the best customer service. Can't wait to come back! read more
Pricey but very filling. It was $10.5 for an açaí smoothie. I wasn't too big of the smoothie as it was very room temperature for me, but the açaí flavor was good and mild. The inside seating and bathrooms are also very nice and there was plenty of community and sights to see in the neighborhood. Service was friendly. read more

If you're looking to try something different, checkout Cafe de Casa. There are so many yummy Brazilian options, from meals to quick snacks. I personally love grabbing a cashew smoothie and an empanada. Everyone was so friendly and willing to answer any questions I had. If the food is too adventurous for you, their coffee is also great. A great place to work, meet friends, or have a first date. read more
I've come in a few times for coffee and pastries, lunch, studying and each time I'm happy with my visit. Just as every hot cafe in SF it tends to get busy so seating can be difficult to snag at times, but it's worth a stop. Everything I've had is good! Their lattes, black coffee, lunch platters, and their cheese bread is my favorite. Love this spot! read more
We were driving to the airport and found this joint. I love açaí bowls and that's why we chose this place. Everything we ordered was delicious. The açaí bowls are spectacular. When it mixed with peanut butter, it really is the best thing ever. All pastries were great too. It's not in my culture, but i enjoyed trying all of it. The patio is so cute. I love seeing people who speak the language enjoy the food that reminds them of their childhood or home. The people are nice, and it was only one person working in the kitchen. It took them some time to finish all the juices and açaí bowl, but understandable. read more
We LOVED IT! Great location, super nice and clean vibes inside. The menu was super comprehensive and yet they had a dozen more options of pastries in the case. The coconut bread w mozzarella was awesome, tho I wonder if the version without cheese would've been just as good. The carne seca was incredible! read more

Cafe de Casa happen to be relatively close to the area we were around today, so we opted to have lunch here. You can have a drink here, breakfast, light lunch, or a full meal. Whatever you want they got you covered. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and you can sit at any table is open. My partner got an Original Acai Bowl (16 oz), Pão de Queijo Bite, Coxinha, and Enroladinho de Queijo com Goiabada. For myself, I also opted for an Original Acai Bowl (16 oz) and a Empada de Frango. Food came quick! Our Acai bowls were served on beautiful bowls and it was aesthetically pretty nice. It came topped with banana slices, strawberry slices, blueberries, granola, and goji berries. It was pretty warm in San Francisco, so this really hit the spot for me, although the amongst all my Acai experiences, it's a pretty standard, basic bowl. Still good though. The Empada de Frango I had was pretty good too. I like that it's baked, and the chicken filling was saucey, but not overly saucey. Flavor was good as well. I sampled my partner's Coxinha, which had a similar filling to the Empada, but for the Empada, they added corn and green olives into the mix of ingredients. Between the Coxinha and Empada though, I'd probably recommend the Coxinha. I really liked the light, fine, crispy, outer layer. My partner enjoyed his meal as well, so we'll probably be back if we're around Cafe de Casa! read more

Best cafe in SF by far. Okay, I know my picture is mid (because I can barely wait 2.5 seconds before devouring the sandwich - it's that good), but I absolutely love this place. The coffee is amazing, the staff is always warm and upbeat, but the food... it is really next level. The chicken sandwiches are so flavorful. I also love the coconut cheese pastry. The atmosphere is also really light and peaceful.. read more

Living in Castro for the Summer, I walked to this cafe countless times for their amazing menu items and pastries. Their mint and pineapple juice, along with all of their other drinks are fresh and made with love. Their lunch is great too - my mom and I loved sharing the milanesa sandwich. Of course, the coconut cheese breads or the chicken croquettes are a must buy as well. I have tried many pastries and menu items from here and all of them have been a 10/10. Great authentic brazilian food always filled with people from the community (which is always a good sign about the authenticity of the food) read more
