    MY FAVORITE ACAÍ BOWL!! it's a simple, no frills bowl so don't go in expecting those indulgent bowls with tons and tons of toppings and flavors. Also do get the traditional! They put condensed milk and milk powder which gives it such a great nutty flavor that I can't get enough of. I was worried that the condensed milk might make it too sweet, but not at all! She also sells small Brazilian pastries (that are usually all meat filled) and other small bites too. There's a small seating area and also space outside to sit as well. It's a small store run by one Brazilian woman, so remember to be patient and give them a try!

    My daughter needed a quick snack before her next wrestling match and did not want anything heavy. We both love açaí bowls and when this popped up we had to try it. It is a one man show inside but super efficient and friendly. I ordered 2 Americano açaí bowls, and several pastries to try. We had the chicken cochina, chicken empanada, and ground beef triangle. Surprisingly the pastries were warm when we got them and were solid. The empanada and coxhina had the same filling, different dough. All were good as well as our bowls. I think if the bowls had blueberries it would've been even more fire. Very solid place, worth a stop of craving authentic açai.

    Seen a food influencer try this place so I took the kids, glad we did! It was amazing. Everything was so good and the guy working was so helpful and explained what everything was! We were super happy with it.

    Inside

    I happened to be passing this cute little place because I needed to make a u-turn at the main intersection, and decided to pull over an give it a try. I remembered someone told me about it before and saidnits very good. I had the green smoothie and a cheese bun. The proprietor was very friendly an efficient. I liked my smoothie, and it was a nice touch to a sunny day. They do take cards for payment as well

    Traditional Açaí

    Such a cute little place with a calm and relaxing vibe. There was no wait, and the service was fast and friendly. My açaí bowl was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still really delicious!

    Situated on the corner. Small location but great service. I've always had the Americano Acai bowl but decided on trying this flavor. This satisfied my sweet and acai craving.

    Açaí bowl was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and the service was quick. Only downside is that there is very limited parking.

    Cute mom and pop shop right off the freeway! Came for the Acai bowls, they offer it in both brazillian style as well as american. Lady was super nice and sweet

    I never would have found this spot if not for Yelp. The kiddos wanted acaí bowls for lunch, and we found this spot and it was so damn delicious that I'm headed back tomorrow. I also had one of the chicken pastries, which I inhaled in a matter of seconds.

    Good customer service and one of the best açai bowl i ever had by far. Im a first timer there and I will return for round 2

    Açaí bowl and chicken coxinha

    My favorite place to get some real authentic açaí bowls and the chicken coxinhas are warm and flavorful! Come support and check out this family owned business, everyone is very friendly and welcoming!

    Food truck turned store front? Ellen and I were looking for a snack to tide us over until dinner and since we were in the Richmond area, she found Brazuca Acaí. It's a little store with a food truck in front. When you walk in there are three small tables so this is mainly more of a to go place especially if you have a party bigger than 2. Brazuca Acaí has more than acai bowls. They also sell fresh fruit juices, pastries and sandwiches. We ordered a traditional acai bowl which was a good size. The lady who made it took great care in the presentation. I had never had an acai bowl with powdered milk and condensed milk. It added a different texture to the bowl but ultimately started becoming a little too sweet for me. She had asked us if we wanted everything but we wanted to try it as they made it. They accepted credit cards as well as cash. Street parking only as they are in a residential neighborhood. Go and support this small business!

    I wrote an English and Brazilian Portuguese version of this review!…read more Wow! Where do I begin? Food five stars! Staff five stars! Venue five stars! It's been a long time since I have personally been around a room full of Brazilians outside of Brazil and felt so happy to be there! My wife and I were looking for a place to watch the Brazil versus Haiti, World Cup game and call a place where I took my first Portuguese lessons 17 years ago called Bossa Nova Brazil. A nice lady on the Phone recommended Brazil bistro and I'm sure glad she did! Outside of my mother-in-law (and my wife) this was one of the best sitdown, traditional Brazilian meals I've had in my life! I didn't catch his name, but I will on Wednesday when we go back to watch the Brazil v Scotland game. Kudos to the chef! He came out several times and was very nice and mingle with everyone and complimented me on my Flamengo jersey The zoo was so fresh and well seasoned. They cooked picanha steak to perfection The Feijão tropeiro, coxinhas, pastel de queijo and much more was so good! I didn't get a chance honestly to try the pastel, but the table next to us had two of them! If this place was closer to where I live, I probably would eat here every other day Outside of going to Brazil this was the best experience I've had in a long time sitting down, enjoying the food, people and the culture and futebol I wish I could give this place 10 If you've never been to Brazil, but want a little taste of it and you're in the El Cerrito California area it's definitely worth stopping by! Brazilian Portuguese: Uau, por onde eu começo? Comida: cinco estrelas! Atendimento: cinco estrelas! Ambiente: cinco estrelas! Fazia muito tempo que eu não estava pessoalmente em um lugar cheio de brasileiros fora do Brasil e me sentia tão feliz por estar ali! Minha esposa e eu estávamos procurando um lugar para assistir ao jogo Brasil x Haiti da Copa do Mundo, então liguei para um lugar onde fiz minhas primeiras aulas de português há 17 anos, chamado Bossa Nova Brazil. Uma moça muito simpática ao telefone recomendou o Brazil Bistro, e ainda bem que ela recomendou! Tirando a comida da minha sogra -- e da minha esposa -- essa foi uma das melhores refeições brasileiras tradicionais, em restaurante, que eu já tive na vida! Eu não peguei o nome dele, mas vou perguntar na quarta-feira quando voltarmos para assistir ao jogo Brasil x Escócia. Parabéns ao chef! Ele saiu da cozinha várias vezes, foi muito simpático, conversou com todo mundo e até elogiou minha camisa do Flamengo. O suco estava muito fresco e bem preparado. Eles fizeram a picanha no ponto perfeito. O feijão tropeiro, as rosquinhas, o pastel de queijo e muitas outras coisas estavam muito bons! Sinceramente, eu nem tive a chance de provar o pastel, mas a mesa ao nosso lado pediu dois! Se esse lugar fosse mais perto de onde eu moro, eu provavelmente comeria aqui dia sim, dia não. Tirando uma viagem ao Brasil, essa foi a melhor experiência que eu tive em muito tempo: sentar, aproveitar a comida, as pessoas, a cultura e o futebol. Eu queria poder dar 10 estrelas para esse lugar! Se você nunca foi ao Brasil, mas quer sentir um pouquinho do sabor do país, e está na região de El Cerrito, Califórnia, definitivamente vale a pena passar por aqui!

This place has been on my list for some time now and I'm so glad I finally had the chance to stop by. There's plenty of street parking or there was on the Saturday i went around like 3/4pm. It was definitely a bit confusing. You do order first, but you should definitely scope the tables first because they will ask you what table number you would like to sit at. I didn't realize that there was another side so I sat on the register side. I ordered the Picanha plate, coxinha (it's like a chicken pastry), and the carne pastel. Because you order first you don't really get any service other than them dropping off your food. I don't know if they offer water. I did try to ask for some, but they didn't hear me and I was too scared to ask again The coxinha was a bit mushy for me on the inside. The pastel was huge, I can't remember if they were $7 or $8 each but I thought it was worth it, the ones I've had had in Brazil was definitely smaller. My Picanha did have a chunk of fat on it and my fries were undercooked but I still enjoyed it. They also have a little market that you can check out. I will definitely be back.

Love the aesthetic. While there is limited seating indoors, this feels like more of a grab-and-go style spot near the Cal Berkeley campus. There were a few students that came through while I was waiting on my order. I grabbed a smoothie and a bowl ~ checking out the menu a bit more thoroughly for next time, I'll order the Bowlieve Me, Baby (Red Dragon Fruit Base) or the I'm So Blue Without U (Blue Spirulina Base). You can adjust your toppings, and there's a checkbox to select the almond granola (GF, vegan) or with no granola. The bowl sizes are small, medium, large (8oz, 16oz, 24oz) and it looks like the smoothies come in one size. For the smoothies you can pick your plant milk (coconut/oat/soy come with a charge). They also serve energy balls that look adorably delicious and eye-catching. The bowls and smoothies are aesthetically pleasing and incredibly nourishing. What a fun find and win for the East Bay if in the area + need for a bit of elevated (and beautiful) nutrition. Smoothie-wise the Strawesome is delish and the Greenergy looks great! You can find parking in the garage across the street (I think the first hour may be free?) or street parking near/around the area with a short walk. Can't wait to know more about this special spot! Will def be back.

I appreciated the call and that they offered substitutions, but it's surprising for an açaí/smoothie shop to run out of such a basic ingredient. I ordered the basic açaí bowl with regular granola and no goji berries. Unfortunately, I received chocolate granola and goji berries anyway, so I had to pick them out myself since I'm not a fan. The bowl also looked nothing like the photos advertised, and the açaí itself had a bitter taste. Maybe it was just an off day, but the texture was much icier than the smooth, creamy consistency I was expecting. My friends also weren't very impressed with their orders. Overall, the staff was friendly, but the food didn't live up to the expectations or the menu photos.
