Oh man, this place was good. Wanted hot chocolate in the area, but also ended up getting lunch. Got the arugula salad and the mini pdq sandwiches. delicious! I liked the ham and cheese one and pesto one. The salad was surprisingly good too and filling with all the toppings. The hot chocolates were good, not great. It was more milky and dark chocolate than solid milk chocolate. I did like the marshmellows though. They have about ten seats but it's a cute place and tons of foot traffic/kids. Nice street in fidi too. read more

Wow just wow. The food and the service is incredible. The atmosphere is welcoming and cute. I happened to stop by and it was incredible! There was the cheesebread that was delicious but surprisingly the pesto flavor was my favorite. I got a breakfast sandwich and when I say PERFECT I sure mean it. My friends were all incredibly happy with their orders. Standouts were: breakfast sandwich, pesto cheesebread, guava cornbread, and the carrot cake (has chocolate on top). The berry scone is yummy too. Service with a smile and very helpful! I can't recommend enough read more

I was looking for a cafe to grab a quick coffee and I came across this place. The workers were extremely friendly and welcoming. I got the Iced Dulce De Leche Latte and it was delicious. I wish their sizes were bigger so I could've had more of it. Their Brazilian Carrot Cale caught my eye and I decided to get it. It was absolutely delicious! I love chocolate and carrot cake so I knew I had to try it. The carrot taste wasn't too strong and the chocolate wasn't overpoweringly sweet. I highly recommend if you do come across it! Apparently it's only served on the weekends. I hope they have it daily soon! read more

Cafe Patoro - Brazilian Carrot Cake - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Primarily focusing on brigadeiro (fudge-like) and various pao de queijo/PDQ/cheese breads, this is a nice new Brazilian bakeshop and coffee shop located in South Street Seaport. They also have a few tiny sandwiches and some breakfast/lunch options along with La Colombe coffee. There weren't many people in there and it was already a bit late and they were already out of some of their "PDQs" as well a cake but but overall the food was quite fresh. The staff was also very nice and also patient with some tourists who came in shortly after me. The desserts here I tried was excellent while their PDQs were fine. I solely had two PDQs (regular and olive) with their cream cheese spread (extra 50 cents) and a brigadeiro cookie. The PDQs were fine though a bit pricey. They reminded me a bit of a Brazilian take on Bantam bagels, those usually cheese stuffed bagel bites which also happen to be both convenient and a bit pricey though with a better cheese here. I've had pao de queijo before and I found the olive one to be a bit better (I assume more since it felt like it was more worth it for the price.) The spread was well a spread. It worked but I think one should be for free if you order enough of them as it just adds cost. Their cookie was a lot better. The middle reminded me of the eponymous fudge truffle and the outside had a good amount of sprinkles. It was soft and quite delicious and well worth it (I believe for 3.50.) It's probably would be one of the better chocolate chip cookies in the city if the texture on the outside was as good as the inside. I'd definitely get one of those again if I am in the area and I have a sweet-tooth. 2.5 (Traditional PDQ) 3.0 (Olive PDQ) 4.0 (Brigadiero cookie) This is a a welcome new place in the South Street Seaport but I couldn't help but think that the cookie was a lot better. They do have deals for their PDQs but I still think they are a bit too much. Good place though. read more

I'm a bit surprised that the cafe I went to is the same as the one with all these glowing reviews. When I found out about this place, I was so excited because I love Brazilian food and there aren't that many such offerings in the city. However, I ordered a sampling of each cheesy bread and a slice of brigadeiro cake, and everything was just meh. The brigadeiro ganache on top and between the cake layers were good, but the cake layers themselves tasted like cheap boxed cake mix from the supermarket. It was nice to try it, but there are many other bakeries in NYC which make better layered cakes. At least, the cake was moist and tasted like it was made this afternoon... ... unlike the cheesy breads, which were very dry and tough. Keeping in mind that it's very hard for Brazilian pão de queijo to be dry, with their glutinous texture and oil content, the pieces they sold me must have been really old. The total of $14 I spent here for a slice of cake and 6 dry little cheesy breads was not outrageous, but felt a bit overpriced due to the disappointing quality. They do have coffee and lunch-type offerings. Maybe others are having more luck with those. read more

Came here for some sweets. The sweets were okay and a bit too expensive. I think each brigadeiro was $2. The cake in a cup was decent quality and decently priced. May come back for their savory products to try later since they are conveniently located for me. The sweets I must say were a little disappointing. read more

My review is simply based on customer service and the pao de queijo. These heavily little bites of cheese filled bread are my favorite. I stumbled on this cute cafe while cutting through the side streets of the seaport district. I've since visited 4 times to solely purchase Pao De Queijo by the dozen (or three ). Always friendly staff ready to greet you upon entering. TIP: They freeze and reheat just fine. In the warmer temps, you can grab a tiny two seater out front. read more

This cute Brazilian coffee shop was down the street of our hotel. We were really impressed and had so fun planning our day out there. The workers were super friendly recommending us things to do and what is popular at the coffee shop. We tried the banana muffin and it was delicious! Not too sweet, I would say the top part is but the rest of the bread not really. It was very moist which was so good with your coffee. Not only that we had the Pao de Queijo and OMG it was SOOO GOOD! we actually came back on our last day to get more of them, that's how good they were! read more

Cute place that smells good as soon as you enter the space. If you're looking for PDQ (Pao De Queijo) aka Brazilian cheese bread then this is the place to go. They serve PDQ and coffee and offer a nice space to relax on the weekends - especially if you're looking to get away from the hectic crowds in Seaport. This place definitely is a hit for FiDi residents as well. read more

What can I say about Cafe Patoro?! It's truly a FiDi gem! Their breakfast sandwiches are incredible, with flaky pastries that leave your mouth watering. The drinks are phenomenal, with the hot chocolate being not too sweet like other cafes. As someone who hasn't had much exposure to Brazilian food, I jumped at the chance to try some Pao de Queijos and I'm glad I did - make sure you ask them to warm it up! A little bit of a wait to get food sometimes but it's worth it and the service is good. read more

Yummy I've been here multiple times. It's located on a cute cobblestone street in seaport, tucked away from the financial hub. They have a cute small seating area.

Their coffee and Brazilian puffs are a hit. read more

Always love this little cafe. A staple in the South Street Seaport area, they sell the Brazilian cheese breads (pao de queijo) and an amazing cornbread that I'm completely addicted to. The coffee is good and they have other baked goods that are always made and baked fresh there daily. The storefront is small but there are a few little tables and a bench to sit at.

I have been putting off reviews for awhile until I recently had their signature pão de queijo. They are delicious chewy clouds of cheesy goodness. We've been coming to this café for years and pretty much tried all the different flavors. The original is our favorite, but I would not hesitate to buy the other ones should the original to sold out. So I come here for the cheesy bread, but I had a chance to eat their almond croissant. I break out in a rash when I eat almonds, but that didn't hold me back from inhaling one. They are SO good! The amount of almonds both inside and outside of the croissant is heavenly. The cornbread is excellent too, but do try the carrot cake. I am not a big fan of the chocolate on top, but it's a good contrast to the cake and I would eat the carrot cake plain anytime! It is fluffy and just sweet enough. I am pretty sure I have been indulging too much, but carrots and corn count as vegetables... so there's that. read more

I love this place so much and I'm THRILLED they are finally back. As always the Brazilian iced tea is so refreshing and not overly sweet. The Roasted Garlic Pdq is my fave pastry from Patoro but the classis is good too and they make them fresh every day. I havent gotten it since reopening but oh my goodness the Brigadeiro Cake is the best thing in the world. When I had surgery last summer i got a slice delivered as a treat-yourself moment Whenever someone visits (which....it's been a while lol) I bring them to Patoro for great coffee and some unique Brazilian treats you can't find anywhere else read more

Stopped by for a quick coffee while strolling through South Street Seaport. I'm always in the mood for a sweet treat but unfortunately it was about an our before their closing time so there wasn't much left to choose from so I took a pass and we just got two small coffees $5 total. The coffee was good and the employees were nice and they had a small seating area but no available outlets to recharge my phone unfortunately. I think it would be better earlier in the day when there's a better selection to choose from. read more

This is an adorable cafe. For the longest time, I was searching for a Brazilian cafe that offered the infamous pao de quiejo, my favorite cheesy bread. It's a small shop but with plenty of choices. The woman who assisted me was very friendly and helpful. The pao de queijos were popular because when I ordered, it was nearly gone (and there were a lot of flavor options!). For $6, you get 5 slightly bigger than average pao de quiejos and had to get a slice of brigadeiro cake for $6.25, which looked amazing. There were a few tables available so we decided to sit down: three adults and one stroller. The woman graciously offered to heat up my pao de quiejos which I immediately nodded with force. Nothing like warmed up bread to make my afternoon snack even better. Thoughts on the five pao de quiejos: Original - you can't go wrong with the classic. Got two of these and glad I did since we all shared it. It's just unbelievably fantastic, brings back memories when I first had this deliciousness 10 years ago at a Brazilian restaurant and still taste as fantastic as ever. Pesto - hint of pesto flavor without being overwhelming. Pepperoni - i love pepperoni so thought this would be cool to try. Little bits of pepperoni are embedded in the pao de quiejo. Light aroma, good taste. Roasted garlic - for those who love garlic, this would be a great treat. Very fragrant and a subtle smell yet strong taste when you bite into it. All of the pao de queijos had great consistency and pulled apart nicely. Of course, as I received my items, a fresh batch of originals come out of the oven...melt*. Brigadeiro - never had this cake but saw lots of reviews and photos on this and of course had to try! It looked like a piece of yummy chocolate cake. The description for it is a dark chocolate cake with Brazilian chocolate truffle filling. Fairly small sized slice of cake for $6.25. But the richness, consistency, texture, freshness and taste make up for it. Not sugarly or too sweet, right amount of dark chocolate without being bitter, perfect amount of filling and frosting/sprinkles. Good pick and so glad I tried it. It felt like a guiltless dessert. My mom tried the coffee there and loved it. She went with the Colombian blend and it was so aromatic! No need for sugar...that's how delicious it was. Adorable spot. My husband wanted to try the cold brew but already had his max for the day. Would definitely come back to satisfy a weekend afternoon craving. read more

This is simply one of the finest Brazilian cafés outside of Brazil. Probably the best anywhere outside of Brazil. They make the most amazing Pao de Queijo and other Brazilian specialties.

I don't do a lot of yelp reviews, but I have to throw Patoro a shout-out. I spend most of my time in coffee-shops and I am a creature of habit so I am pretty picky, here are my thoughts... Ambience: 5/5 - Bright, colorful, and usually decorated for Christmas, Easter, World Cup, etc. This little spot will certainly bring some cheer to your day (especially in the holiday seasons). If you prefer a dark dingy, hipster-y spot, this isn't it. Also, it's clean. Coffee: 4.5/5 - Great coffee, decent-sized pours, strong espresso, artful lattes. All in all, one of the better ones. Currently they are using La Colombe roasters. Food: 5/5 (wish I could give 6/5) - Amazing food, very creative, highly instagrammable, not too unhealthy, but overall delicious. On the savory side, the pao de queijos speak for themselves (just try it, please), great empanadas, and the quiche is out of this world. On the sweet side (I don't, but plenty of folks do have a sweet tooth), it's a paradise for chocolate lovers (they make their own confections), and they bake all their pastries in-house so they are super fresh and flaky. My recommendation is to go for the brigadeiros (bon-bons for the english-speakers). New creation is the PDQ waffle w. brazilian cream cheese + guayava syrup (yeah it's as good as it sounds). Pro-tip, they use their chocolate in the mochas, so I think they are best-in-class there. Seriously I cannot understate how much better in-house chocolate is than instant powder, Ghirardelli syrup, etc. Amenities: 4.5/5 - Good wifi (they just upgraded). Power strips under the bench (you gotta look for it). 1 Bathroom. Not much to say here. Seating: 4/5 - Not a lot of seating, but usually something opens up in a few minutes if there's a line. 5 small-ish tables. Employees: 5/5 - Amazing people, always with a smile or a joke, seems they are all Brazilian. They will brighten your day without fail. For me this is always the determining factor when it comes to coffeeshops, if you are the same, you will love this place. 6-7 great people and a rotating cast of 2-3 on any given day. Patrons: 5/5 - They bring in a good crowd, a mix of tourists, random locals, and regular customers but everyone has been polite and not too loud (which can be annoying). Little bit of a Friends or Frasier vibe here, you will get to know some folks if you come back a few times. Pretty sure someone is working on a screenplay. Zero bad experiences so far. Location: 5/5 - Front street is like another time and place. A little slice of quiet and fresh air in the middle of a noisy and bustling city. Beautiful storefronts just off the water. Really retains that Ol' Seaport vibe. I somewhat regret writing this post if it contributes to making the place less quiet. X-factor: All the above notwithstanding, there's something to be said for the fact that this place is different from every other great coffeeshop. They have a story and a unique feel due to the strong Brazilian vibe (the employees, the food, the flag hanging in the window, the imported juices and sodas, etc). I really like the fact that it feels like you are stepping into another place entirely when you go there. It could just as well be located in Sao Paolo, but luckily for us it's smack dab in the middle of downtown Manhattan. :) That is all, thanks for reading. TLDR: unique and amazing place, never been disappointed and I go there a lot. read more
