This light and airy Brazilian spot is equal parts juice bar and coffee shop, with a small but diverse menu of healthy leaning breakfasts (bowls and sandwiches). I was excited about to see that they have several gluten free options - including gluten free bread!! I got a breakfast sandwich on GF bread with eggs, cheddar and avocado - it was yummy, filling and the GF bread didn't break into a million pieces! Plus their pao de queijo - a Brazilian cheese bread - is fluffy, yummy and made with tapioca flour, so it's gluten-free! This spot also has a great adorable interior and lots of seating - plus a variety of seating! There is a larger more communal table, some smaller tables and chairs, and a mix of hard backed chairs and interesting soft seating like some vintage looking couches. read more

Pitanga - Comfort Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

"I'm sorry giving you special treatment on your birthday is the opposite of good customer service, I have worked in the food industry for 5 years ... so I know these things" ahhhhh... there's a reason why most hospitality, food service purveyors, retail and just about EVERY other industry annotate your birthday when onboarding -- so they can **delight** you during your very special day. So let's start by saying, that I have given pitanga 5 stars for food in the past and will probably continue to go there as long as they have a monopoly on "healthy" in the area and I objectively think the food is amazing. They say there's a fine line between love and hate... I LOVE their coconut express - it's caffeine heaven and I HATED that there was so many obstacles to obtain it on my very special day. I think this day, that I so uniquely got to share with Mother's day, might have been a day where our lovely service provider woke up on the wrong side ... or maybe mommy was upset. Who knows... Here is how the beginning of this convo went: "Hey so I just ordered breakfast on Uber Eats, I didn't see how to add the coconut express. Would you be able to just include it and add an additional charge?" Eager for my tasty delight "I'm sorry that's not possible" Counter person replies "Oooh that sucks, then can I just pay for it separately and you just add it to the delivery order?" Looking for a solution "I'm sorry we can't do that" Counter person quips **** How can you not do this??? Is the customer service that bad or is the lack of understanding of your POS system that is truly lacking? "Hmmm - thats odd, can I speak to a manager - it's my birthday and I don't see how we can't physically place it on in the delivery?" Still looking for a solution "I am the manager" replies the manager, who is also the counter person, who then proceeds to tell me that I am wasting her time as she has other customers to attend to (nice). AGGGGHHHHH the frustration I'm not mad at our ginger friend behind the counter (I don't discriminate against red-heads no matter what people say!). My 10 + years of working in the restaurant industry from tending tables, bars, catering, managing and consulting franchises identifies that Pitanga systemically is not set up to succeed for deliveries. They have one person behind the counter doing order taking, barista, delivery management and apparently they are also the manager -- it's just too much for one person at peak times. Every time I order delivery there is a complication - I wish this was a one-off offense. I eat out of there at least 1 a week and it sucks to see the system fail the quality of service for repeat customers. Lucky for me, my good friend who was taking care of me as I recovered from an injury knew better than to ask me "snuggles or coconut express?" He knew the answer to that and went and picked up my caffeine smoothy crack. Breakfast was delicious and, lastly, served. read more

Excellent food and quick service. Egg/black bean/salsa burrito (I think called wake up burrito) rocks.

There are some real man bun vibes at this place... wow! So many literal man buns. Come here to meet hot vegans and yoga boys I guess lol. I had the "big healthy bowl" which was pretty good but I really wanted to spread some sauce all over it. This ain't California produce. I would come back for the food, but the crowd and ambience kind of killed it for me. There were no open seats at 10am on a Monday and there were like five people wifi camping - one girl had an entire 4 person table to her self with her gross study crap spread all over the seats looking like she'd been there since 6am. I feel like the staff should say something at point. read more

If you want a stomach ache get the Brazilian breakfast. Coffee and fruit was good. Should have gotten a burrito.

Tried the acai bowl this morning. 'Nuff said. So good. So much crunch with the bee pollen, granola healthy goodness, coconut flakes. I always love their chocolate croissants too. Always ask for it warmed up. :) unreal flakiness. One of the best croissants I have probably ever had. I also love their vegan carrot cake, the texture and taste is AMAZING. They have shredded bits of carrots in it, definitely a must try. Coffee here is always yummy too, you won't get a huge coffee cup, but it will definitely be quality. This place is a little pricey, but the flavor and quality Are worth it. Great little quiet, relaxing, airy Brazilian cafe in bushwick. read more

Was craving an acai bowl and heard they had good ones here. I kinda customized it. Coconut shreds, strawberries, granola and the almond butter on the side. It was delicious! I do think for the price it should be a larger size but whatever. I'm visiting and it was a nice treat. I walked around the cute neighborhood to check out the street art and shops....stopped in again before heading home to get a latte. If you can believe it....they use homemade almond milk! It really made it so special. Rich and creamy. Perfect latte. read more

I am giving 4 stars because it's a bit over priced for Bushwick... but the food is delicious, I've had the Brazilian breakfast and the açaí bowl and juice. The breakfast is so good, but the portion is small so it leaves you wanting more. Coffee is also great! Great place to do work, doesn't get too crowded. Chills vibes. read more

Pitanga is just awesome. The mood, the service, the menu. I can't recommend Seasonal Quinoa Bowl more. I feel everyone will adore this heavenly food. And workers were very kind and courteous. Pitanga... What a great find. read more

Have I been transported back to California? Everything is fresh and green here. You can truly taste the difference. The ambiance of exposed brick walls and plants invites those wishes to grab something quick or work peacefully. Yes, there's wifi. The staff is also very friendly. As for food, I had one of their salads, but will totally come back for an Acai bowl or juice. read more

Back in brooklyn for first time since March 15. So happy to see my favorite coffee shop still open and busy! The best lattes and smoothies. Today I got a little GF cheese bread that made my morning! read more

Pitanga has some of the best acai bowls in nyc! The acai texture is never liquidy, they give you lots of great toppings and overall the balance of ingredients is amazing. Also try the pao de queijo, they are large and delicious. read more

Oh my word, one of my favorite places in Bushwick. The smoothies and acai bowls and avocado toast and coffee are all delicious! Everything tastes like top quality and savory and you get really sad knowing you're having your last bite and sip of that drink. Definitely recommend it, not only for the food but also it's a really chill hip place. Love it! read more

Pitanga - Soooooooo yum! Addicted after my first bite! - Comfort Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

OH MY GOOOOOOOD. THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!! There's a pandemic happening right now and they are still open serving people for pickup. My sister and I got a veggie burger, iced oat mocha, and an iced latte. My sister wanted her iced latte sweet and she loves things very sweet, the amount of sweetness was PERFECT! Main was our server/cashier and they were SO SWEET! The order was repeated back to me. I go to cafes very frequently and my order is always wrong 80% of the time. Literally, i'll go somewhere with someone and their order is correct and mine is wrong??? ANYWAY. Main was great! Love this place and will be back! read more

I would drive 25 mins out of my way to come here. Introduced my whole family to this gem. Most days I would endure the rudeness of the manger (i think he's the manager), however when my mom came and he was unbelievably rude and crass with her - this is where I draw the line. The owner is always sweet and kind- it's sad that because of him she will lose more customers. I hope things change. All customers - but especially those that are loyal and drive 25 mins out of their way to bring business (especially in these trying times) should be treated with respect. read more

5 stars across the board. Top quality food and customer service. Never regretted a single food or drink choice... so, have fun staring at the menu for hours trying to decide. read more

Best açaí bowl in Brooklyn .... From there smoothies to there healthy bowls, veggie burger and there must try sweet potato fries ... can't go wrong choosing Pitanga ..... read more

My second acai bowl from this place and it just hasn't let me down! I ordered the Peruvian açai bowl again but I added strawberries and told them no honey. It's a lot less sweeter this time and so I'm happy! It's so delicious! read more

Going to different places getting açaí bowls I can say this place has the best, their Pitanga bowls are too good.

I love to explore new coffee shops; and Pitanga was new in Bushwick neighborhood. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff. The owner is consistent in applying her health beliefs into her food menu and juices. If you care to have fresh and organic food and juices, this is definitely your spot. For the same price or even less, instead a blueprint bottle or any other cold press juice from wholefoods, you can get a fresh made delicious smoothie or juice. *MUST TRIES: cheese bread (is to die for), Green monster smoothie (house special with avocado, dates etc) and if you are a coffee lover like me, give a try to the espresso smoothie they have on the regular menu, is superb! read more

I came here for the first time a few weeks ago and it was the best açaí bowl I've ever had.

I have been passing this place for months every morning and never thought to step in until I wanted a good smoothie and I think the smoothies here are really good. I love how they have so many juice and smoothie combinations to choose from unlike the maximum 6 choices you have at chain joints. I finally had an acai bowl from here and it was so good. Crunchy granola and bee pollen, bananas and crunchy, fresh almond butter. And it's was cold so I can see this being a summer staple for me. Can't wait to try more items from their menu! read more

Probably one of the best açaí bowls I've had! And the pao de quiejo is delicious, you get a very large piece and it's served warm. In addition, the service was excellent, so it was a really great experience. read more

I am so sad I'm moving out of Bushwick solely because of the love I have for this place - The staff is always super friendly upon walking in, the wait is never too long, the place is great if you want to sit and eat/do work, and the Pitanga açaí bowl is one of the best I've ever had. I'll definitely go out of my way to come back to Bushwick just for this place! read more

I wanted to love this place. The ambiance is so beautiful and relaxing, with lots of counter space to work. They serve a variety of juices, smoothies, acai bowls, coffee, and light vegetarian fare. I came in at around 4pm, and they were sold out of coffee and acai, the two things I was most interested in trying. The barista was surly and did not offer any suggestions for alternatives. The food menu seemed boring and overpriced-$12 veggie wraps, $8 avocado toast. I decided on a Viva Verde smoothie, which came to $9.50 with tax. It was okay, and included plenty of OJ, kale, mango, and banana. However, I feel it was overpriced for a non-organic smoothie. I think Pitanga has a lot of potential for greatness, considering the ever-gentrifying nature of Bushwick, but they need to step up their game. Diversifying their menu and ensuring they do not sell out of popular items would be a great start. read more

If you're like me and love acai bowls, then you must know that this place definitely makes one of the best I've ever had. The ingredients they use are always fresh, organic and the granola is homemade. I tend to always go for the "Peruvian" bowl but I know they are all equally as good. Also, they have the most amazingg "pao de queijo" aka Brazilian cheese bread, which is a must in this place so please trust me and just get it... and ask them to heat it up for you! read more

We went here on a Friday morning to get a quick breakfast. What a surprise to see a place offering gluten free Brazilian cheesy bread snacks (pão de queijo)! My boyfriend ordered a breakfast sandwich with avocado, egg, cheese and tomato along with an iced coffee. The prices are comparable to what I would expect in the neighborhood-which is a little high. I ordered the pitanga acaí bowl. The place has a really nice airy vibe, seems like there were some regulars who come to do their work there. Our order took a little longer than I would have liked, probably about 20 minutes, but we weren't in a huge rush and it was a nice place to relax. Overall, both of us really enjoyed our food, the ingredients were high quality and the flavors were great. I would say the iced coffee was mostly ice in a small glass cup, which is a shame because it tasted great. If you're in the mood for an acaí bowl, I would definitely recommend! read more

I really liked the coffee here and usually get the same thing everyday. I stopped getting coffee here when one of the blonde male servers was rude to me and told me "we don't make that" when I asked for an extra shot of expresso lol. god bless tho. read more

Açaí bowl is actually just a glorified bowl of ice... flavorless and cold. Do not order. Service was good tho

This is my favorite coffee shop in this neighborhood! I've tried their iced coffee, matcha and almond milk lattes, all of which are good. They use a cold brew for their iced coffee, though I believe 9/10 places do that these days to avoid watered down brew. They also have an extensive menu of juices and smoothies that I have yet to try. For food, there are acai bowls and baked goods with vegan/GF options (banana bread and carrot cake). The banana bread is my go-to, it's a little more like a sponge cake and it's topped with walnuts. read more

There is nothing more beautiful than the Pitanga Acai bowl. I have legit been waiting it every other Saturday for 6 months, whilst enjoying their cold brew or matcha, reading a book in bed. Always fast & fresh, def the BEST tasting acai bowl in Bushwick, plus best bang for your buck! The Big Healthy Bowl is also delicious & healthy, the poached egg & warm mushrooms bring it next level to other quinoa bowls. A must-try!! read more

This is my absolute favorite place in ALL of Brooklyn. Not only is the menu delicious but the staff extremely hospitable and friendly. Great energy! Peaceful, rustic,clean vibes all around. Great coffee! To die for açaí bowls! Freshly squeezed juices & smoothies! The list goes on and on!! read more

The pao de queijo and other housemade gluten free items are amazing. They are a must try! The ambiance is great and the staff are nice.

Love this place and glad it's so close to home! An incredible fresh and healthy menu with lots of smoothie and juice options which I'm really excited about! They serve Kitten coffee and the barista was definitely skilled. I got my cortado with homemade coconut milk and it was well executed. The design of the place was incredible and made it warm and inviting. They only serve food until 4pm though but accommodated us when we arrived at 430 for our first visit. Great friendly customer service guys! Thanks for the amazing experience! read more

Good Juice, but man it's way too over priced for Brooklyn! I had the avocado toast and a 9 dollar Juice. You'd think you'd get some better service paying 9 dollars for a juice, but staff is rude and basically didn't even say hello. What do you want sort of a deal. There's nothing really special about their juice, I've had just as good juice at Tony's Pizza down on Knockerbocker. I asked a friend who's been in Brooklyn longer, bushwick area, and she said that most ppl have tried this place but then go to Owl Juice Pub. I went there it was a whole different vibe. Cheaper, food just as good, juice was better, but much cheaper and friendlier. Hate to give such a low rating but it's a shite feeling getting taken advantage of by someone who doesn't appreciate you are even there... read more
