    Frutas (FR)
    Maddie M.

    I got the frutas açaí bowl and kitanda bites. The açaí tasted great with fresh fruit. The service was fast and the cashier was friendly. Came on a Monday morning and was fairly busy. It's on a corner street so a decent amount of places by the windows to sit and people watch.

    I come here often for their Frutas Açaí bowl they have reasonable prices and ingredients are fresh and the staff is always friendly - I wish there was a way to tip them other than cash. Your staff deserve tips and us customers would be happy to be able to tip them with CC

    Kitanda Espresso & Acai is a local Brazilian coffee chain that has pao de queijos, coxinhas, coffees, and acai bowls. We came here early in the morning to grab some items to go to bring back - a Brazilian coffee that has condensed milk, pao de queijos, and coxinhas. The coffee was strong, but could have had a bit more of the condensed milk (which could be requested on the next visit). The pao de queijos were actually dry, and I'm thinking it's because of their larger size? I wish that they were chewier. The coxinhas were more on the bland side and had a strong chicken taste/odor to them - honestly, I've had better ones! Service was friendly, but definitely slow and forgetful - we were waiting for some time for the pastries, and we had to go up and give them a friendly reminder as our order was incomplete. There is some seating inside, but most seem to get their orders to go. Extremely limited street parking in the area and can be quite difficult - best bet is to use public transportation. +incomplete orders +forgetful staff +difficult parking in the area

    Caramel Latte
    Thien-Kim B.

    Got a Caramel Latte and it was so good! Good value and quality. They were pretty busy for a Monday morning at 11:30am but the drinks come out quickly. A little confusion between me and another customer when picking up my drink since they don't call out order numbers or names, but nothing major. If I get a chance to stop by again I definitely will try their Brazilian Latte.

    São Paulo with coconut and PB added
    Daniel S.

    Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Pretty tasty Açaí bowl. I added PB and coconut chips to the São Paulo and enjoyed it. It's quite sweet, especially with the condensed milk. Came to ~$11.50 after tax. Seems a little pricy to me but it's the least expensive açaí bowl I've seen in the neighborhood. I'd come back and get it again.

    Dirty Chai
    Oris B.

    Just imagine an over sized cheese puff hollowed out and stuffed with cheese, spinach, eggs and served with a dirty chai. Upon entry I received a warm welcome following preferred options to remix their menu while, soothing bossa nova blends with ampiano in the background. I forsure wasn't expecting the vibe presented to me but the surprise was a great morning booster! Check this place out!

    Ola! Boa tarde! My friends and I have been customers at Kitanda since they opened. We have always loved getting their Acai bowls, Coxinha, Pao de Quejo, and Iced Coffee - especially since we have either lived, studied, or visited Brazil. As regulars, we have always been treated well- except for today. Typically, we order Acai bowls and ask for it to be scooped out fresh rather than handed to us pre-frozen. We like to eat our Acai soft rather than frozen since we can just buy the frozen pre-made Samba ones ourselves from the grocery store. Although the lovely workers have always been accommodating, today was embarrassing. After we noticed that our Acai Bowl was frozen (as seen in the picture compared to mine that was freshly scooped), we kindly asked the male worker on staff (had glasses, dark hair, black shirt) if he could change it. Again, this HAS been done for us MULTIPLE times - especially since we never try to be rude. After explaining the situation and how we have been accommodated before, the male worker agreed. HOWEVER, once the WHITE female on staff (brown/dark brown roots and bleach blonde hair) overheard the conversation, she refused to accommodate us in front of everyone. Even after we politely explained the situation to her and asked again, she still refused and said that the Acai Bowl was "fresh" but that she had put it in the freezer 20-30 mins prior (yet it was STILL rock hard). I do not mean to be fickle in this review, but it seems that the common denominator is that THE ONLY TIME WE HAVE BEEN REFUSED IS BY WHITE FEMALE WORKERS and we are BIPOC/Latina women. Shoutout to the Brazillian guy who is always so kind that works there- he always accommodates us and is happy to talk about the Portuguese language and Brazil- something that is comforting as I experience saudade for my time in Brazil. Sadly, we now feel uncomfortable ordering from the White staff at Kitanda- but we will definitely be coming back when they're not there! - also, just overheard that the male worker were LATE to their shift today (06/28), most likely explaining why they didn't feel like they had the time to serve us a softer Acai bowl. We hope that our time and loyalty as customers is considered when training these employees in the future. Ciao!

    Brazilian Latte and Kitanda Bread Original with Cream Cheese
    Lauren S.

    Checked out Kitanda because it's one of Cap Hill's few cafe's with west facing windows to capture some evening sunlight and enjoy a late afternoon coffee Was pleasantly surprised by the great window seating with around 6 seats, lots of area to put laptop and snacks. I ordered a Brazilian latte and Kitanda Bread Original w/ Cream Cheese and Nutella spread. Truly, everything was great and so satisfying!!! Also very affordable which is a great perk given the general cost of coffee and pastries in the area. Also, music was fire and was at the perfect volume but isn't too distracting. The staff was generally nice -- direct, but nice! All you really need from a cafe. Another disclaimer, it was hard to get connected to the wifi server at first. Just gotta ask and try your hand at the spelling!

    I love it here! I get my Energy bowl and it's so good! The staff is always very nice. There is another açaí place close to here but Kitanda in my opinion is better! I like the bread too! My favorite! Yum yum

That said, there were a few things that kept the experience from feeling as good as it should have. For the first 30 to 45 minutes, we kept seeing the same meats while several of the premium cuts never made it to our table unless we specifically asked for them. They eventually came, but at this price point, guests shouldn't have to keep requesting the signature cuts. We also ordered a pitcher of sangria without being given a drink menu or told it was $48. Finding that out when the check arrived was definitely a surprise. We also didn't learn until the end of the meal that our 25% off promotion wasn't valid on weekends. As the night went on, the service dropped off quite a bit. After about an hour, it started to feel like our table was being overlooked and that it was time for us to wrap things up. We also weren't fans of the three-payment limit for larger groups, which made settling the bill more complicated than it needed to be. We'd still be willing to come back because the food was genuinely good, but next time we'll probably keep it simple, skip the sangria, and avoid bringing a larger party. There's a lot of potential here, but the overall experience needs to match the quality and price of the food.

    Food is great but this is not the place for someone with a small appetite…read more I found the salad bar amazing! I probably could have eaten just from the salad bar and be satisfied. They don't just have salads at the salad bar. All the sides such as rice, potatoes, fish, soup, with all the fixings are there. People come around to the tables with the meat on large skewers and cut at your table. Beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. It can be pretty overwhelming if you are not a big meat eater. There was a good selection of desserts. Most of us shared. I had the crème brûlée and shared it with the husband. After 3 spoonfuls, I was done, but it was so good. The wait staff and the folks serving the meats were very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was kind of noisy, but it was really crowded. Of course, it was Mother's Day. So even with a reservation we still had to wait. There were 14 of us. Of course we had to wait to get enough tables together for us to be seated. My only complaint was the waiting area. I get it. It's Mothers Day. People were waiting outside on the sidewalk because there wasn't enough room in the waiting area. They should invest in those beepers for when our table is ready. Otherwise, it was a nice experience.

Since it was my first visit, I tried almost everything. Unfortunately, that left me with more food on my plate than I could finish--and I definitely ate too much. I wish the meats were served in tasting-size portions rather than such large slices. Smaller portions would make it easier to sample more options and reduce food waste. The food itself was okay, but it didn't quite live up to the price. The lamb was my favorite, and I probably should have saved more room for it. The steaks were decent, but not the best I've had. I also tried the Brazilian lemonade, which had a slightly bitter flavor from the lemon peel. Overall, Fogo de Chão offers a fun and memorable dining experience, especially for first-timers. However, the food quality and flavor didn't quite justify the cost for me.

You'd think the gauchos were personally rationing the beef for winter...we were lucky if we managed to flag down three measly slices of meat all evening. Since the skewers were treating us like ghosts, we decided to order the dry aged steak that's supposedly sized for four people. Total fiction. What arrived was barely enough to satisfy two mildly hungry toddlers. Getting anything to the table took an eternity...drinks, side dishes, basic eye contact, yet the second we finished eating, the bill appeared at Olympic sprint speed. Truly unmatched efficiency when it's time to swipe the card. To top off the premium priced misery, the women's restroom was an absolute disaster zone. At this point, paying top dollar for neglect, false meat promises, and dirty restrooms is a hard pass. There are far better places to drop this kind of cash. We won't be back.
