    Ordered the 10oz açaí bowl + customization and the Romeo & Juliet sandwich, which has mozzarella cheese and guava jam. Very quick service, was able to walk in and walk out within 5 mins. The only option for tipping is cash. The sandwich was really good, the thickness of the bread allows you to perfectly experience the chewiness, I think it was a little more jam than I prefer but that's just personal preference. I would say 4oz açaí bowl plus the sandwich would be plenty for a breakfast

    Out of all the kitanda espresso's that I've been to I would say this is my favorite one. I can also say I've learned that acai bowls for breakfast was not invented for people like me, but their baked goods are. I absolutely love coming here for breakfast or lunch. Beware this place is in the Amazon zone right ok the edge of construction so trying to maneuver this area can be a bit tricky. If u miss a turn u may end up many blocks away before turning around in the right direction. Parking is super limited but I've literally always gotten a decent spot. Once you make it inside, smell the food, and see all their options, your realize why its worth it and still better than most smaller cafes you've been to. I always order something sweet and savory when I come. The bread is just amazing. No yeast, yes this is right up my alley. It's so hard to find a yeastless bread that isn't all the way flat. I'm tempted to go almost every day, but I don't out of fear of somehow overdoing it. Did I mention this is a Brazilian inspired cafe. Oh yea makes sense that this bread is so special. They even have the good brands if drinks. My date almost cried when she noticed they had her childhood favorite chocolate milk. That alone was worth it. What about their pricing? Yes it's a Brazilian cafe, but their prices are spot on. Pray they keep it this way so I can keep coming. I've had to stop eating at a lot of my goto spots in the area and have started cooking much more. Well, this place is one of those spots that I can even eat at more than once in a day. Thank you to the people that opened this location. Not even sure how long it's been around, but I can say, I've been taking full advantage. Thanks guys.

    I was told about this place and stopped by for a smoothie and snack. I ended up buying a fruit smoothie & hot dog roll. Both the smoothie and hot dog roll was pretty good. I'm definitely stopping by again

    Love this chain :) Cozy shop. Convenient location. friendly staff. Delicious sandwiches and acai bowls per usual.

    My recommendation: the Tudo Açaí Bowl
    Lloyd H.

    The coffee was great...not bitter; so smooth; not burnt; everything I am looking for in a cup of Java. The açaí bowl was the best I ever had. I recommend the Tudo Açaí bowl. Hands down delicious with an amazing combination of the highest quality ingredients! Skip Starbucks and try Kitanda!

    This was a nice find min away from our Airbnb while in Seattle. It's not common to find a Brazilian spot with these savory "snacks" we find back home so we were super excited. The place is very nice and modern and quite a selection to choose from. We only tried the coxinha (chicken cones) and pão de queijos. The coxinha was ok but the pão de queijo was really good. I really like the idea of making sandwiches with them but I preferred the original with no filling. The only thing is that service was really slow...it took us probably 15 min to get our latte and cappuccino, and even the food, it's reheated but still took us longer than I would have imagined. We were in no rush and didn't mind waiting but it was an oddly long wait. Nevertheless might be back before we head back home!

    Such a great little small cafe that specializes in Brazilian bread, coffee, and açaí bowls. The Romeo and Juliet sandwich is my favorite so far, with a balance between sweet from the guava and savory from the cheese. The açaí bowl is very large, and lasted me two separate meals! I've also gotten their Brazilian coffee, which is coffee and condensed milk and it was delicious. Service is prompt, and there is wifi for those that need. There isn't a ton of seating, but it wasn't super busy when I went so I was able to find seating with a group of 4 people. Overall, a nice spot to enjoy a quick bite!

    What a great find! Everything I had was great here, including a chicken ball, the açaí bowl, and their coffee. Very fast-casual kind of place and the wait wasn't long at all. The place itself is in a busy part of town so you have to look out for parking, but it's not too bad. Perfect little treat for a post-workout or a pre-hike meal.

    Doce de leite is a cream not a syrup.

    Just ordered an Kitanda Cheese Bread with Doce de leite and extra of doce de leite and they sent me a cheese bread field with caramel. I'm Brazilian, I know the difference of the taste, this is unacceptable. I don't care if another people can't tell the difference or if the workers that maybe never try the food say that caramel and doce de leite is the same because is not the same taste, consistency, whatever, really disappointed. Was my second and last order from this place online.

    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.

The problem was there there were some meats that were extremely dry. For the price that they charge, this is unacceptable.

Highly recommend this spot over the "other" Brazilian-style restaurants. The location, atmosphere, and overall vibe were impeccable, and the service was top-notch from start to finish.

What really stood out was how attentive and interactive all the servers were. They kept the meats coming nonstop and made the entire dining experience enjoyable.

    Very unfortunate experience. Our waiter had no interest in being our waiter. When we arrived, I saw…read morea big piece of meat on the floor right next to my chair, so I asked the waiter "can you please ask someone to pick that up?" He just looked at me like I was nuts to ask him that. A few minutes later, we put in an order for drinks. I got sangria, my husband asked for a specific Merlot. I got my drink but we continued to wait for the Merlot. Like 10 minutes later, waiter says "we're out of that merlot do you want something else?" Husband says "sure, there was another Chilean merlot on the menu can I have that?" (Back to the meat on the floor, waiter never handled it. My husband ended up getting a paper napkin, picking it up and walking somewhere to throw it out.) So the waiter shows back up with a sample of a wine and says to my husband, "would you like this?" He walks away... about 10 minutes later he comes back and he says "so did you like that?" My husband says "no actually I did not can I please see a menu?" the waiter walked away and never brings back a menu... he actually never came back again until I asked for the check. When we were finally done with dinner, I really was very disappointed with this waiter who did a terrible job and I didn't want to leave him a good tip, but then I realized that we had several servers because this is a Brazilian steakhouse where they bring the meats to your table and sliced them at your table so we had several different people who were deserving of a tip. I figured tips were split among all of the workers and so I didn't want to impact everyone else's tip. When we got the bill, tip was included and I said "well, this makes complete sense. He has zero incentive to do a good job."

We originally planned to order the Indulgent menu for three to get the lobster tail. Our waiter suggested doing two churrasco dinners plus the seafood tower instead, saying we'd get more seafood for about the same price. I mentioned we also wanted the free dessert that comes with the Indulgent menu, and he reassured us, "I got you on desserts." We appreciated the deal. However, about 20 minutes later, he completely disappeared, likely having clocked out. When we were ready for dessert, we had to flag down another staff member, who said she didn't know who our waiter was or where he went. She initially told us she could only offer one free dessert, which wasn't what we had been promised. Eventually, a manager stepped in and honored it, which we appreciated. Still, it was concerning that no one seemed to know who our server was. If shifts are ending, there should be a proper handoff instead of just leaving tables unattended. Service felt rushed as shifts were ending. When we asked for more cheese, one staff member seemed reluctant, then later dropped off a full plate of something else when I only wanted one piece. She clocked out and left at the same time as us. The ambiance was nice, but I was surprised my clothes smelled afterward. This didn't happen at a way smaller location I've visited. Food was mostly good, with a few misses. No one brought us filet mignon until I specifically requested it near the end. The biggest disappointment was the "seafood tower," which turned out to be more of a basic seafood plate. For $112 (before tax), it was very underwhelming, bland, overcooked, and chewy, with no sauces to complement it. We came for the steaks but ended up spending a good 20-30 minutes on seafood that was completely tasteless. I'd never get seafood here again. This could have been a 5-star experience if not for the service issues and the disappointing seafood.

I've been to other Brazilian steakhouses but this was my first time at Fogo de Chao. We both went with the full Churrasco for the experience. Similar to other reviewers I felt like the meats came around in waves, making for awkward periods of waiting for more food. The ribeye was pretty good but some of the other cuts of meat seemed a bit dry/tough. Whenever they were walking around with more meat it seemed quite chaotic in the restaurant. We were seated in the back by what I assumed was an event space and that area was especially a bit tight and chaotic with employees coming in and out of there. One thing I did really love was the fresh pineapple! The guy carrying that one kept running out so fast. It was delicious and paired very nicely with the steak. It's a great location too, so much to do nearby. They also validate parking which is a plus. Overall, I would say the Churrasco experience is not worth the price. For 2 people we paid close to $200 when it was all said and done. For that price I would rather go somewhere with a more romantic and peaceful ambiance.
