Brazilia Cafe

Wonderful service, quick, great coffee. I’m not sure about the other products, but the coffees and teas are terrific.

There was a giant pastry tower and a film crew interviewing the chef when I walked in. I should’ve realized that it was that kind of place and walked out. All I wanted was a coffee. Regular coffee. After standing at the counter for a solid 5 minutes when a guy was behind there purposefully not acknowledging my presence, he finally, begrudgingly took my order. He was clearly annoyed that I only wanted a coffee. As he was pouring it, i asked if they had soy milk and he ignored me. I thought maybe he didn’t hear me but then he answered when he gave me my coffee. Then u had to pay at another register (even though there was one right in front of him, I swear he probably thought it was beneath him to operate it, like he was with pouring coffee). There was some mixup there and the girl had to come back to the register I was originally at, but she took someone else’s order first, when she had seen me at the other register!
This place is seriously pretentious and doesn’t know what it wants to be. Be an exclusive restaurant, you’ve already got the staff for it. But don’t have an (overpriced) coffee bar and then get irritated when people order from it. Oh, and the coffee was mediocre.

Pretty chill café. With a quiet space to work in the back. I got the chai ice tea. Nothing that special, lacked flavor.

Guys, please do yourself a favor and go to Brazilia Café. You will know what a really good service is.
I went there for their waffle coned hot chocolate. When I ordered it, the girls said they discontinued it. I got upset because I came from midtown only for that. The manager saw it and said he would try to recreate something similar. So he took an ice cream cone and added some chocolate syrup and espresso there and that didnt come out well. Thats why they gave me nutella latte to try. And all these was on the house. Yep, I am so going back. I am definitely going to try their Acai bowls.

Nice café with lots of options besides coffee! They have a full coffee bar with your typical range of espresso drinks– soy or almond milk offered for my non-​dairy folks out there. A bunch of pastries and other refrigerated bottled drinks are also available. I like their iced almond latte better than the hot.
On the opposite side of the coffee bar there is a juice and smoothie bar! Surprisingly the juices here are AMAZING (I say that because it was a pleasant surprise at a coffee place). Juices are ~$ 7.50– pretty reasonable for new york (where bottled juices are 10 – 12 bucks!) They also have a variety of smoothies and acai bowls.
If you want something more decadent, go for some ice cream/​gelato! They have dairy free ice cream as well (I think from DF mavens).
I have not had the chance to try their food yet but there seems to be a decent amount of healthy, fresh options!
I like the décor of the store– high open ceilings and lots of natural lighting during the day.
Great option for coffee/​juice/​smoothies or a healthy snack if you are in the area!

The ambiance is classy and pleasant. The latte was lacking flavor and fullness. The chai was just okay. Not as flavorful (or cheap) as the one from dunkin donuts.
Just, okay.

Really spacious, clean and comfortable place with good service. My husband and I both had a kale salad for lunch and both loved it.
Speciality: these guys roast their own coffee in Brooklyn.

I went to Brazilia Café for the first time this morning and had a pretty bad experience. I ordered a banana rama smoothie with no cinnamon since I have an allergy. I made this clear to the person taking the order. I waited awhile to pick up my order and the person making the smoothies said, «Did you order the banana rama?» I said, «Yes, with no cinnamon.» Then she handed it to me. After one sip I tasted cinnamon. I told the person who made the order and she rudely said, «You ordered the banana rama.» I said yes, but I told both the cashier and you I did not want cinnamon. She made me wait 10 more minutes to make another. It was okay. Definitely not worth the experience. Will not return.

I come here for breakfast all the time.
They. Make a wicked sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich. Coffee is great. Service is fast. Love it here.

Brazilia Café is a nice break from the usual starbucks that you go to here in New York. The prices are all pretty good, and if you’re here for the food, you can know that you’ll get a fair bit of variety here.
Brazilia can be experienced in three ways: you can get your coffee to go, get a coffee and find your own seating, or sit and order in the more restaurant-​y section of the café. I’m not sure if there’s waiter service here, but it’s different from the rest of the areas where its just a seating bar where you sit down by yourself. Still, worth checking out.
They have wifi here, but IT DOES NOT WORK

One of the best breakfast in the area
Delicious food and coffee, nice place with good seating area, CLEAN!!!
Service is the best, unbeatable prices

I’ve tried so many drinks here, and none have lived up to my expectations. Their cold brew almost always falls short, and their hot coffees and mocha drinks leave something to be desired. They only stick to the classic flavored, and none of them are that good to be honest.
What brings this café up to three stars is their stellar sandwiches. On the flip side, almost all of their sandwiches deserve five stars. I’ve tried around three and I love them all the same — the cubano, roast beef, and chicken salad are all winners.
Overall recommendation — skip the over priced drinks, and just buy a sandwich (or acai bowl — they’re pretty good too).

Take-​out area for coffee, smoothies, pastries, and gelato in the front, and dining room for more substantial meals in the back.
On the weekday morning I visited, it was quiet. No line. I ordered an iced coffee and almond croissant. Given the taste and price, next time I’d just stick to ordereing from a street cart, but if you want to sit down inside to eat, it’s a chill place.

Came here to do a little studying. The place is big with three bar counters to sit or some tables in a quieter corner. Got an iced latte, I think this is the first place I’ve seen where the iced is cheaper than the hot.
Friendly and attentive service.
*free wifi
*if you’re using CUPS, they only allow to go orders
*don’t sit at the table by window facing 3^rd street by the «employees only» door. Surprisingly they use this door like every 15 minutes.

Great açai bowl! Delicious.
Good ambiance and staff with a nice staff. Lots of different options to eat and also a vast variety of coffees. The juices are incredible specially the green one: the grass is always greener which they had samples to try.
Worth coming for a refreshing afternoon in the hot summer

Don’t need to order anything else if you’re going to get an Acai Bowl, as they were pretty filling. Ordered the Green Acai Bowl, however, it just tasted like a normal berry smoothie and was much more watery than I expected. The Tropical Acai Bowl, however, was amazing. Would recommend purchasing that one instead. I think it is the avocados that do the trick.

Best gelato ever!
My favorites are the red velvet and the salted praline which is made with soy milk! I could eat the gelato at Brazilia café everyday!

Groupon deal breakfast with bestie! Once entered, we seated ourselves and had to wait a while before the waitstaff tended to us. We presented the Groupon deal (on my phone) and after checking with the management, our server found out it was still applicable for lunch. Hooray!
The Acai bowl seem to be a favorite for many so I wanted to try one. But no one ever mentioned how cold it was! I felt like I was getting brain freeze, so I ask to exchange it for a sandwich instead. The juices are amazing as they sound, so healthy and delicious at the same time.
I would probably come back to try their coffee drinks!

Wer nach europäischem Service und Gaumen in New York sucht… hier ist «the place»…Essen, Service alles Top… und das bei einem Brazilianer…:-)

As an NYU student, I pass this place often. From the outside, it looks like a spacious coffee place with people hovering over their Macbooks doing work. Being a student, of course, I mentally bookmarked it in my head.
Finally, one night between classes I decided to try it out with a friend to study.
I thought this was a place just to grab a coffee and maybe study but inside it is much different then seeing it out on the street peering in. This place has it all– it a smoothie bar, gelato bar, salad bar, regular alcohol bar, and restaurant in the back. When I walked in I was a bit confused with all these different options because I had never been to a place like this before. I do not like being confused by NYC restaurants especially when I am tired and hungry. The man in the front thought we should sit in the restaurant part so we were led to the back I was already annoyed and did not want to be served by a regular. I just wanted to grab a coffee and sit down with my friend to study.
I was extremely disappointed with my order. I ordered the Macchiato and it was TINY (about the size of the candle holder it was next to) so a little more than a shot. The coffee menu did not have any description of the coffees so I would not have ordered the Macchiato if I knew it was a portion for a mouse. Especially for $ 4.75! I could have gone to Starbucks across the street for a Macchiato with 5 times more coffee and probably the same price!
As for service, the staff here is very friendly. My friend and I were greeted warmly at the door and the man there patiently answered any questions I had. Our waiter was very nice as well and understood that we just wanted coffee even though it was in a restaurant. The man who rang up my purchase also added my NYU discount automatically which was very nice of him.

Low key and swanky coffee shop. They also sell delicious smoothies and sandwiches. You can get a decent meal here without breaking the bank.
I got a green smoothie that I would go back and get again. The barista seems professional and takes his cappuccino making skills seriously!

Très frais et propre ! Service rapide. Honnêtement une très bonne adresse pour tout ce qui est smoothies, plats simples et goûteux, principalement froids.
Le pain est croustillant est le sandwich au roastbeef est excellent.
Bonne adresse
