Iced Americano with cream
Paul M.

New Brazilian coffee shop in the Southcenter mall. They offer smoothies, açaí bowls, Brazilian snacks, and coffee. I ordered the iced Americano with a little cream. Good coffee!!! Not bitter, just rich and smooth goodness. Inside is nice and I enjoyed the Brazilian music that was playing. Service was friendly and my order was prepared quickly. Price was also reasonable. Good spot for coffee and to visit with friends

Popped in for a coffee and light breakfast. Got the Brazilian latte with almond milk (espresso, milk, condensed milk) it is similar to a ca phe sua da but sweeter/less intense- not bad a touch sweet. Tried the little chicken cones and they were super good, like a bite size chicken pie but with more filling and less dough. I also got the Kitanda bread with guava spread- super yummy- savory and sweet, soft and pillowy but had nice texture. Tried the coconut bun and it tasted old/stale.

Mango Frappe and Kitanda bites - found this place while roaming around the South center mall. Never tried Kitanda bread before. Decided to try the bites. Made of tapioca flour and cheese. Loved it. Picked up a few breads later along with the Mango Frappe. Perfect for a summer afternoon. Loved the service and staffs there. Amazing. One cozy place to sit and enjoy the food while having nice conversations with friends. Will visit again!

I was visiting Washington from out of town for a friend's wedding, and really wanted an acai bowl (i'm highkey an acai bowl fanatic), and luckily we found this place in the mall nearby. And I was pretty hungry so I was pretty open to anything. Ambiance: This place was in the mall, so it was easy to find. It was surprisingly busy inside which is usually a good sign. But not much else to note. Service: The service was pretty standard, not very personal because the employees were just trying to get through the line. But I did ask for my receipt which they could not provide because they had an issue with their machine, so they asked me to come back in a few minutes to get it, which I did like 10 minutes later. Food/value: A very mid acai bowl, not even accounting for the price they charged for it. First off, you can't really customize or change things, plus there were very few ingredients in it. I know I might unfairly be comparing to BYO acai bowl places, but I'm used to having more ingredients and having the bowl full. But this bowl was much smaller than what I usually get and for what I paid ($13.10 after tax, though I think I added peanut butter). And the limited ingredients made for a poor experience. Overall, would not come back. Maybe other people have had better experiences, and I'm sure the lackluster acai bowl experience is because they might specialize in their other food/drink items. But nonetheless, I was pretty disappointed.

This spot has always been a bit odd to me. Brazilian coffee spot with, I suppose, Brazilian style sandwiches (very small), and a single shelf unit of Brazilian goods. The spouse got the sandwich with sausage and said that the sausage was cold in the middle. He did not finish it. I got the turkey and cheese and it was fine, smaller than expected, I appreciate the use of gluten-free bread; also appreciated the little treat they put on top of the coffee.

The açaí bowls here are everything! So creamy and not to sweet. Many combinations to choose from for the perfect açaí bowl or make your own or customize your bowl. The options are endless. No matter which açaí bowl you get, the toppings are always fresh. I mean always. You won't get over ripe or underripe fruit here. The coffee here is a game changer. It's such a high quality. It's medium-dark blend. Smooth and bold without being bitter. These beans from Brazil are the holy grail. And my oh my. The Kitanda bread (pao de queijo) had a nice crust but soft and chewy on the inside. Made from tapioca donuts gluten free too! Pairs so well with the coffee. I do like it plain but it's hard for me to turn down the dove de leite. Brazil's caramel. This location is always clean and the staff is always very friendly and nice.

Acai Bowl
Smaly K.

My cousin brought me an acai bowl from here, and I don't eat these often, but I thought it was pretty good. I'm not sure which one I tried. She enjoyed hers, too. I didn't finish it though, since I was eating other food also. Been wanting to try some of their pastries.

Brazilian Cream Cheese on Kitanda Bread $3.79
Dianna N.

Energy Blast $10.79: When I long for a delicious acai bowl like I've had in Hawaii, Kitanda fits the bill. It tastes pretty good despite missing the tropical surroundings. I found 10 oz to be a good size for sharing between 2 people. Brazilian Cream Cheese Kitanda Bread $3.79: I love cheese bread. Since I could get it frozen to bake at home plain, I wanted to try it with a topping while I was here. I thought this one was OK. The cream cheese didn't really leave an impression on me. It also wasn't served warm (makes sense as the cream cheese would probably melt). Next time I want to try the bacon egg and cheese sandwich on this bread. Ham and Cheese $3.79: This was ordered from the case. It's like a fancier hot pocket. I personally prefer hot pockets still (pepperoni specifically) but my boyfriend enjoyed this. ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here.

Ordered brew coffee and brownie. Brownie and coffee not bad,not wow but and not bad. But service is veryyyyyy slow,staff completely ignore us and guy who was before us. Then finally one worker see us,started take order but coffee is finished on us. Food 4,service 1 stars. Food recommend but you need waiting long.

Energy Blast Acai Bowl
Sara V.

I'm a big fan of the fresh açaí bowls and baked goods. High quality, fast, and powerful caffeine Brazilians are used to and love. There's ample seating in both the inside and outside of the store (in the mall). The frozen cheese bread you can bake at home, not a big fan as much. I may be spoiled since my step mother is from Brazil but it didn't taste like much. I feel like it's the kind of thing that works better fresh and doesn't work reheated as well.

Incredible coffee and pastries. Another popular shop now located in the SeaTac airport and it…read morealmost seems unnecessary to leave... unless you want to see little things like the Space Needle and downtown Seattle. THE DRINKS | Variety of coffees, espressos, lattes, and seasonal drinks. I ordered... - Pumpkin Spiced Latte (8 oz.) | Made with real organic pumpkins, pumpkin spices, and topped with pumpkin pie sugar. I hate to compare, but it's way better than Starbucks' pumpkin spiced latte in that the flavors are strong with a smoother finish. - Drip Coffee (12 oz.) | A robust coffee that'll jumpstart your morning. THE FOODS | Pastries & cookies. I ordered... - Morning Roll | Croissant shaped as a muffin. Flaky crunch on the top and buttery soft inside. Warmed up and this morning roll is amazing. THE CAFFE VITA FEELS | Small coffee shop with a small display case for pastries and an area to add sugar and cream to your drink. There's also a stand to the right of the cashier counter where 12 oz. coffee grounds are packaged for purchase. THE ORDERING LOGISTICS | Line up and order i at either Caffe Vita or adjacent Beecher's for food or coffee. I stood in the Beecher's line for food and Caffe Vita for coffee and a pastry, not realizing I could've ordered both at either shop. Coffee subscriptions can be found on their website. They ship within 48 hours of roasting their coffee to ensure you're getting the best flavor.

Not happy with these drinks. Extremely pricey for the small volume and poor taste I drink coffee…read morearound the world, and this one was not good. If I could take back this purchase, I absolutely would. Also, the people working there don't seem to get along.

I saw a few posters for this in Terminal D and the Filipino flavors were what got me! The perfect…read morespot to grab a bite to eat before a flight, especially if you're in need of a coffee fix and the Starbucks line is insane. Unlike Starbucks, they actually have legit ube flavor (and other Filipino flavors like pandan and turon) for their drinks. I got an ube matcha (super delish, tho in the future I'd ask for less sweet) and a spam musubi (wrapped in plastic wrap, which makes it the perfect airport snack to eat without having to touch it with your hands). It's a little out of the way tucked near Gate 21, but I'd definitely take the short detour if you have the time for some yummy treats!

Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #109…read more I was not expecting much out of Neighborhood Bubble Tea and Cafe - Boba in an airport in the US? No way it could be any good! But on a recent trip to Nashville, we decided to trudge all the way over from the A-gates to give this place a try. This shop is tucked away in the side arm of the D-gate area, making it much less crowded than the main walkway in the terminal. There are two ways to order - firstly via the kiosk (no line when we visited) and secondly in person (a line of 5 or 6 people). Black Milk Tea w/ Boba ($8) - I ordered via kiosk to save time and totally blanked on the fact that it doesn't allow ice or sugar level adjustments. Just as I went to pick up the drink about 5 minutes after my order, I thought about this fact and started worrying about the sugar levels. At 100% sweet, I typically find most other boba shops cloyingly sweet. This place, fortunately, uses cane sugar, so the sweetness is more mellow and not as grating. Even at full sweetness, while a little too much for my palette, isn't harsh or overwhelming. The drink comes with whole milk by default. Unlike other more premium shops that only add a splash of milk on top, this one seems to be more like 50/50 tea vs. milk. This adds a bunch of richness to the drink, but also increases the dairy flavor quite a bit, which combined with the sugar overpowers the tea a little. There's still some of the malty and somewhat fruity notes towards the end of the sip. They add a ton of ice. That's something I will definitely be asking for adjustment on in the future. The boba isn't bad at all. There are some issues with consistency in terms of size and due to that, texture. They are soaked in brown sugar syrup, giving a soft and velvety texture on the exterior. The smaller pearls are chewy throughout, while the larger pearls are a bit too firm and grainy towards the center. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 I was really surprised by the quality of the drink I received. Honestly, before visiting, I thought this would be more of a 2 star kind of place! They also serve some really intriguing Filipino snacks that I'd love to come back to try out.
