Cafe de Casa is such a hidden gem by the wharf! We've walked by a handful of times but popped in on the 4th before watching fireworks. The interior is really spacious - there are a variety of table sizes that can easily accommodate one person or a large party. Despite them having a steady flow of people we barely had to wait to place our order & everything came out very promptly. We tried two of their specialty coffee / matchas - the Dubai chocolate latte & matcha verde w amarelo which were both great. We decided to stay for the World Cup game & got a couple bites & Brahma beers that we really enjoyed. read more

DO NOT PAY FOR DELIVERY We paid extra to have our order delivered to our hotel and used the restaurant's order-ahead option. We scheduled the delivery for 9:20 a.m., but by 8:40 a.m. the app showed it had already been delivered. The problem? There was no food at our hotel room. I tried contacting the delivery driver by text, but never received a response. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after leaving a generous tip. We later found out the driver had left the food at the hotel but never told the front desk which room it was for, even though they had all of the delivery information. As a result, our food just sat there until we eventually had to go down and get it ourselves. In the end, I paid for a delivery service that I never actually received. Instead of enjoying the convenience we paid for, we had to track down our own order. Based on this experience, I would not recommend paying for delivery. If you're ordering from this restaurant, save your money and pick it up yourself. I paid for a service, but I did not receive what I paid for. Then to make it worse the breakfast sandwich was just OK. Nothing to write home to mom about. To say the least we will not be ordering her again and would not recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been craving Brazilian cheese bread after eating one from a Brazilian steak house and this place definitely satisfied my cravings for it. Their Pao de queijo is a large enough portion where you can half it. Also tried their cheese waffles but it didn't have the same cheesy bounce that the pao de queijo has. But the dipping sauces was a great addition and paired even better with the pao de queijo. Might just order that on the side next time. Overall, the ambiance was very chic. Saw a couple dogs sitting on the floor with their owners so I'll choose to dine in the next time I bring my pup. read more

I came here because of the reviews, but now I'm questioning if we all went to the same place. After landing from my flight and walking down along the Fisherman's Wharf to see the piers, we stopped at Cafe de Casa for our first bite and a place to cool down. The interior is honestly gorgeous. There's a lot of seating and fun decor all around, and it feels like a place you'd want to sit and hang out for a while. The menu is displayed on the wall and offers Brazilian style cafe items like cheese breads, sandwiches, pastries, and specialty drinks like matcha, coffee, and seasonal beverages. Right away though, the service felt off. The workers came across pretty uninviting and seemed more focused on chatting with each other than interacting with customers, which is always a red flag. The prices are also pretty steep, which might be because of the location. I ordered the pistachio matcha and the Brazilian cream cheese sandwich. I don't like my matcha too sweet because I want to actually taste the matcha, so I asked for less sugar. Instead, I was told they'd just add less pistachio cream. The drink ended up being really disappointing. It tasted super flavorless and almost watery. The pistachio cream itself was nice and had real pistachio pieces on top, but it didn't save the drink. For almost $10, it just didn't make sense, especially when their regular matcha is around $7.60. Also, there were no prices listed for seasonal drinks, so you don't really know what you're paying until checkout. The cheese sandwich was good and warm, filled with that Brazilian cream cheese. It was enjoyable, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. It's about the size of a McChicken and priced at $7.60, which feels a little high considering there's no protein, just cream cheese. Overall, I'm not sure if this is just a tourist spot because of its location near the piers, but I left more confused than satisfied. read more

Another "Too Good To Go" find- and it was amazing, I want to return. First, this Brazilian cafe has the most beautiful sandwiches at incredible prices. I can't think of a spot where you can get a basic sandwich for $10 muchless these cheese bread sandwich beauties with salmon, Brazilian cream cheese, dried beef and shredded mozzarella or tomato, mozzarella and avocado. Or with Prosciutto di Parma, arugula, ricotta and fig jam. Ok, that'll cost you a bit more at $15 but you catch the drift. We received for our TGTG bag a box of three enormous savory and sweet pastries. One was filled with shrimp, another was a cinnamon sugar and the third disappeared so fast I just heard a mumbled "It's really good!" (thumbs up). Coffees, açaí bowls, crepes and delicious juice drinks, we need to return for a proper sit-down experience. Three locations at Fisherman's Wharf (Beach Street), Castro (17th Street) and South San Francisco. Service was very kind, it's an ideal spot to slow everything down and enjoy good food. Obrigado! read more

Love the cafe. Bumped into it while roaming on Fisherman's Wharf, very close to Ghirardelli Square. A Brazilian coffee shop offering pastries, desserts and coffees from Brazil. They have Caramel Flan, Brigadeiros, Cheese bread and various other brazilian faves. They also serve a Brigadeiro coffee which I ordered. It was cappuccino served in chocolate/condensed milk laced cup. So for sweet coffee lovers just a stir would do the magic. They serve it both hot and iced. The interiors are roomy and decorated with real plants all over the cafe. Loved the seating and menu choices. Must try when there. read more

I was looking for lunch options before a fleet week boat cruise but the area is pretty touristy. Not this place, it was gorgeous and delicious! There was a pretty long line at noon on a Saturday but it was moving at a decent clip. I ordered: - the cafe bombon drink: STIR BEFORE DRINKING. Otherwise the first sip will be bitter espresso, but the brigadeiro sauce is at the bottom which gives it the perfect bitter sweet balance - cheese waffles with brigadeiro (chocolate sauce) and doce de leite (a less sweet variation of dulche de leche). The "cheese" wasn't too savory and contrasted nicely with the sweet thick sauces. I may or may not have eaten the remainder of the sauces with my knife after I finished the waffles and these are gluten free! I need to come back to try the GF crepes and sandwhiches. Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby but several paid garages nearby - gluten free options in entrees (not pastries) read more

Absolutely loved this place! Great cafe close to Russian Hill/Fisherman's Wharf. I appreciated how organized they were with respect to ordering in person vs doing online pickup, especially on busier weekends. Prices were pretty reasonable. $10.50 for a large green juice that's fresh made was solid! I also tried. - Coxinha - objectively good, maybe not for me; if you aren't normally a fan of creamy pulled chicken, don't feel pressured to get this... - PDQ ham and cheese sandwich - simple but delicious - Enroladinho de Queijo - coconut bread stuffed with mozzarella cheese. This was my favorite! I love sweet and savory things. Altogether a great, spacious location to grab a drink and pastry in the morning. read more

In San Francisco you can enjoy the taste of Brazil while on a Beach ( not El Rio but Beach street in SF) . This place use to be a TGI Fridays(the stories) .Inside it feels like to you stepped into an urban amazon jungle as you stepped out of the concrete tourist trap jungle in SF. There are lots of plants inside to give it a natural ambience. This place has a little resemblance of the former Rainforest Cafe at the Wharf without the bells and whistles and minus the theatrics .You see and meet lots of tourist inside and some asking for drink and food recommendations in SF. The Cafe de Casa serves Brazilian classics like Pão de Queijo (Portuguese for cheese bread )and the Açaí with berries along with some empanadas. I usually enjoy trying the BBL (Brazilian Brigadeiro Latte). I tried the latest offering which is a hybrid of Dubai Chocolate and BBL (Brazilian Brigadiero Latte )and it's called the Dubai Brigadeiro Latte. The drink was not too sweet and chilled on ice. The drink also had the Dubai chocolate with pistachios on the rim on cup like a Margarita has salt on the rim. It was a pleasant surprise it was refreshing and gave me a jolt. The Casa de Cafe is an oasis if you want to have a personal reading session, study session, work session, or a squad yap session. After going to Pier 39 for the 7D ride for a "thrill"and lunch at the tourist trap called the Wipe out Bar and "Grill" I headed to the Beach ( street) across from Buena Vista Cafe a few blocks from "Russian Hill" for a taste of "Brazil" Casa de Cafe ( House of Coffee) where Chimichurri sauce "will spill" on empanadas with a "shrimp fill" while enjoying a "BBL" ( Brazilian Brigadero Latte) and the Dubai Brigadeiro Latte is so refreshing you want a " refill" read more

It's not every day that I see a traditional Brazilian tapioca on the menu! I was so excited to try and the tapioca did not disappoint. I think they may have made the cassava crepe before and assembled it because it didn't seem made to order. I could totally be wrong but it was a ~little~ hard. Coxinha was excellent! Brigadeiros were delicious. Long line that moved quickly and friendly staff :) Next time I am in San Fran I will most likely go back. Very cute atmosphere, must say. read more

Cute cafe with tasty pasties & coffee. I tried the "Enroladinho de Queijo" (coconut bread with mozzarella) and "L'Avelã" (cappuccino made with Nutella). The bread was served warm and was fresh. The coffee was ok, could have been a touch stronger, but the Nutella made for a unique flavor combination. Total came to $17, which i think is a touch on the pricey side, but the location is also in a very touristy area, so it's understandable. Great space to work or hang out for a few hours, very open floor plan and spacious, comfortable seating. read more

Do not trust their hours. I rushed to get there before their closing time of 6 PM. I arrived at 5:40 PM to be told, very rudely, they are closed.

Had been wanting to try the coffee from this spot for a few years now and finally got to go. Visited a Saturday around 3PM and although there were a few folks around there were plenty of open tables. During the week it's a nice spot to work and grab a coffee and food, although they do have a 75-minute max screen time policy, so keep an eye on that when planning to visit with that intent. During the weekend they don't allow screen time (unsure if only a few tables or all of them). It's a pretty chill spot. I ordered a latte. It was very good and not very acidic. I really liked it! Overall, I would 100% revisit this spot to try their dulce de leche iced latte and cappuccino (which is my go-to coffee drink), and their pastries which looked very tasty too! read more

Ótimo café para lembrar o sabor do Brasil. O suco estava delicioso, e os salgados são incrivelmente saborosos e muito bem preparados, beirando a perfeição. Só não levará 5 porque o café parecia um chá de tão fraco que estava, e os atendentes não foram receptivos e demonstraram mau humor. Great café that brings back the taste of Brazil. The juice was delicious, and the savory pastries are incredibly flavorful and very well prepared, almost perfect. It doesn't get 5 only because the coffee was so weak it tasted like tea, and the staff was not very welcoming and seemed to be in a bad mood. read more

If you are someone who likes dessert for breakfast, this place is for you. Not only do they have interesting Brazilian coffee, they have plenty of Brazilian desserts available for breakfast. I got the iced brigadeiro coffee, which is like an iced Brazilian mocha. For dessert-breakfast, I got the Brazilian carrot cake (very different than American carrot cake) and coconut bread (like a Hawaiian roll with coconut) -- both gave me an energy boost to start my day. Of course, they also have acai. The neighborhood is by the touristy Ghirardelli Square, so the customer base is mostly tourists, but the space is large enough to accommodate everyone. It's a lovely space with lots of windows and light -- to study, to work, or to relax. read more

This place was so modern and visually appealing; classy, light colors and plants. It has large variety of Brazilian pastries like their version of empanadas and flan. They also have a good variety of coffees, lattes with their own special twist. The Dubai Chocolate latte looked so pretty and delicious, but this morning I was trying not to do sugar, so I had a regular coffee, and it was just right! It's definitely a high-end kind of place. I feels like a luxurious experience compared to most coffee places. They also have breakfast items, sandwiches, and acai bowls. It's the kind of place that feels like your treating yourself to a special treat plus the clean/modern ambiance. read more

If you just saw the name of this place, you probably wouldn't have guessed that it was a cute little Brazilian Cafe with amazing service and food options. Well actually, if you called your restaurant cafe of home, it makes sense as to why everything just felt cozy and of high quality. And that's what the owners were aiming for! Right from the start it was just a beautiful place to chill, and the staff was so friendly giving their suggestions and making sure that we were taken care of! We had to share some items due to the options that were there. The coconut pastry was like a coconut bread, and oh boy was it yummy. Not too sweet but just enough. The vegetable empanada tasted good, not too crazy in flavor but fresh in the vegetable taste. And we got their fries which were thin and crispy, just the way I like them. But here is the kicker. Their hot sauce. Was. Spicy. And. Amazing!!!! It can definitely kick you in the butt if you aren't careful, but oh boy was it good and paired well with almost anything. Had a sourness to it like Cholula but depth like Sriracha and their own goodness. Finally don't forget about the Acai Bowl, which was a solid bowl. It wasn't too sweet and looked beautiful, but nothing out of the world. I would highly recommend checking this place out and seeing if you would call this place home as well! Everything is on the pricier end, but a solid option in the fisherman's wharf area. Their hot sauce keeps me thinking about this place on loop read more

A Delicious Bite of Brazil Last week, good friends of ours mentioned Café de Casa as a good addition to the neighborhood. So, we got curious and decided to go and check it out. When we got there, only two people were ahead of us, so we did not have to wait long. While in line, we checked out all the enticing items on display. However, since our visit was during breakfast, we only tried a few breakfast items. The space is fairly large, and it is well-designed and comfortable. The line goes past a big menu on the wall and by the counter and displays, which will make you hungry and drooling by the time you reach where you place your order. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The young man who patiently helped us answered our questions and made good suggestions. We ordered coffee drinks: an Abraçadinho de Salsicha, bread dough stuffed with turkey sausage, bacon, and cheese, and a Mané Pelado (yuca cake with coconut). They gave us a tabletop number for our order, and after we sat, I noticed that we could order additional items by scanning the QR code on it and have our order delivered without having to stand in line again! Nice touch, I thought. The coffee was fabulous, and Abraçadinho de Salsicha and Mané Pelad were delicious. I am not a big fan of cakes, but this yuka and coconut cake was very good. While we were sipping our coffees, the line grew very long, and it made me glad we got there early, so keep that in mind if you are visiting. After we got home, I researched the restaurant and its founders. Café de Casa is a family-owned restaurant with three locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was started in 2010 by Lucimar Canedo and her daughters, Thais and Amanda Moreira. Lucimar, a native of Brazil, brought her passion for delicious, home-cooked food to the restaurants. "Café de Casa" means "Coffee House of Home" in Portuguese. This is supposed to reflect their commitment to providing an inviting atmosphere where customers can enjoy authentic Brazilian cuisine. If you would like to learn more about the restaurant, KQED has a very fun article about it in its food section, published in July 2024. I will include the link at the end. So, if you are visiting the Fisherman's Wharf and are hungry or feel like sipping a cup of nice coffee, try Café de Case on the corner of Hyde Street and Columbus Ave, right across from the Hyde Street Cable Car station.

I've walked past Café de Casa countless times on my way to the Buena Vista area and the aquatic park in San Francisco, and I can't believe I missed it until now! The interior is bright, sunny, and incredibly inviting. could easily spend all day here. The food is AMAZING!!!! (I'm not a fan of exclamation marks, but in this case, they're absolutely necessary.) The staff was not only friendly but also quick. One thing to note is that there's a 75-minute time limit for tables. My plan is to order food, enjoy it for 75 minutes, then switch tables and order more, followed by coffee and crepes for my third round--because I liked this place that much. I will definitely be back. read more

A nice Brazilian cafe that took over a former Starbucks on the corner of Beach Street and Fisherman's Wharf. Airy, relaxed, friendly spot that is very suitable for the area where tourists are Tend to be on the go and want something light and fast. This cafe is pretty much for them. All the small bites, Brazilian pastries, crepes, acai, etc. As for me, a bowl of acai is a pretty serious matter. As a person who frequently in Hawaii and had some of the best acai on the islands (Paia Bowls on Maui & Island Vintage on Oahu) I really wanted to measure the Hawaiian style acai against the original acai where it's origin came from, Brazil. I like Hawaiian style acai more but I still highly recommend this cafe. Try their pastries. read more

Watch the slippery entrance. Enjoyed meeting friends for brunch in this Brazilian cafe. Each baked good was said to be gluten free. The tapioca crepioca pancakes were tasty and chewy. The first morning we had the Brigadeiro coffee, mocha, ham and cheese crepioca. The next morning, we had the veggie omelette and doce de leite coffee. Issues on both days: 1 The Cafe de Casa sign on the floor at the entrance was wet and very slippery. Since it often rains here, it is important to choose a surface that is not slippery. 2 An employee was sorting washed cutlery and throwing it into trays for about thirty minutes.
