    Ordered the 10oz açaí bowl + customization and the Romeo & Juliet sandwich, which has mozzarella cheese and guava jam. Very quick service, was able to walk in and walk out within 5 mins. The only option for tipping is cash. The sandwich was really good, the thickness of the bread allows you to perfectly experience the chewiness, I think it was a little more jam than I prefer but that's just personal preference. I would say 4oz açaí bowl plus the sandwich would be plenty for a breakfast

    Out of all the kitanda espresso's that I've been to I would say this is my favorite one. I can also say I've learned that acai bowls for breakfast was not invented for people like me, but their baked goods are. I absolutely love coming here for breakfast or lunch. Beware this place is in the Amazon zone right ok the edge of construction so trying to maneuver this area can be a bit tricky. If u miss a turn u may end up many blocks away before turning around in the right direction. Parking is super limited but I've literally always gotten a decent spot. Once you make it inside, smell the food, and see all their options, your realize why its worth it and still better than most smaller cafes you've been to. I always order something sweet and savory when I come. The bread is just amazing. No yeast, yes this is right up my alley. It's so hard to find a yeastless bread that isn't all the way flat. I'm tempted to go almost every day, but I don't out of fear of somehow overdoing it. Did I mention this is a Brazilian inspired cafe. Oh yea makes sense that this bread is so special. They even have the good brands if drinks. My date almost cried when she noticed they had her childhood favorite chocolate milk. That alone was worth it. What about their pricing? Yes it's a Brazilian cafe, but their prices are spot on. Pray they keep it this way so I can keep coming. I've had to stop eating at a lot of my goto spots in the area and have started cooking much more. Well, this place is one of those spots that I can even eat at more than once in a day. Thank you to the people that opened this location. Not even sure how long it's been around, but I can say, I've been taking full advantage. Thanks guys.

    I was told about this place and stopped by for a smoothie and snack. I ended up buying a fruit smoothie & hot dog roll. Both the smoothie and hot dog roll was pretty good. I'm definitely stopping by again

    Love this chain :) Cozy shop. Convenient location. friendly staff. Delicious sandwiches and acai bowls per usual.

    My recommendation: the Tudo Açaí Bowl
    Lloyd H.

    The coffee was great...not bitter; so smooth; not burnt; everything I am looking for in a cup of Java. The açaí bowl was the best I ever had. I recommend the Tudo Açaí bowl. Hands down delicious with an amazing combination of the highest quality ingredients! Skip Starbucks and try Kitanda!

    This was a nice find min away from our Airbnb while in Seattle. It's not common to find a Brazilian spot with these savory "snacks" we find back home so we were super excited. The place is very nice and modern and quite a selection to choose from. We only tried the coxinha (chicken cones) and pão de queijos. The coxinha was ok but the pão de queijo was really good. I really like the idea of making sandwiches with them but I preferred the original with no filling. The only thing is that service was really slow...it took us probably 15 min to get our latte and cappuccino, and even the food, it's reheated but still took us longer than I would have imagined. We were in no rush and didn't mind waiting but it was an oddly long wait. Nevertheless might be back before we head back home!

    Such a great little small cafe that specializes in Brazilian bread, coffee, and açaí bowls. The Romeo and Juliet sandwich is my favorite so far, with a balance between sweet from the guava and savory from the cheese. The açaí bowl is very large, and lasted me two separate meals! I've also gotten their Brazilian coffee, which is coffee and condensed milk and it was delicious. Service is prompt, and there is wifi for those that need. There isn't a ton of seating, but it wasn't super busy when I went so I was able to find seating with a group of 4 people. Overall, a nice spot to enjoy a quick bite!

    What a great find! Everything I had was great here, including a chicken ball, the açaí bowl, and their coffee. Very fast-casual kind of place and the wait wasn't long at all. The place itself is in a busy part of town so you have to look out for parking, but it's not too bad. Perfect little treat for a post-workout or a pre-hike meal.

    Doce de leite is a cream not a syrup.

    Just ordered an Kitanda Cheese Bread with Doce de leite and extra of doce de leite and they sent me a cheese bread field with caramel. I'm Brazilian, I know the difference of the taste, this is unacceptable. I don't care if another people can't tell the difference or if the workers that maybe never try the food say that caramel and doce de leite is the same because is not the same taste, consistency, whatever, really disappointed. Was my second and last order from this place online.

They don't just have salads at the salad bar. All the sides such as rice, potatoes, fish, soup, with all the fixings are there. People come around to the tables with the meat on large skewers and cut at your table. Beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. It can be pretty overwhelming if you are not a big meat eater. There was a good selection of desserts. Most of us shared. I had the crème brûlée and shared it with the husband. After 3 spoonfuls, I was done, but it was so good. The wait staff and the folks serving the meats were very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was kind of noisy, but it was really crowded. Of course, it was Mother's Day. So even with a reservation we still had to wait. There were 14 of us. Of course we had to wait to get enough tables together for us to be seated. My only complaint was the waiting area. I get it. It's Mothers Day. People were waiting outside on the sidewalk because there wasn't enough room in the waiting area. They should invest in those beepers for when our table is ready. Otherwise, it was a nice experience.

But that's not my style so here I go... First off, the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant as you immediately step inside is spectacular. It's elegant but with a casual feel. Or maybe it was its casual with an elegant vibe... either way, you cannot go wrong. Depending on the time of day, if the wait is long, I'd suggest grabbing a drink from the full bar. Once seated, we ordered our drinks and headed over to the salad bar/cold cuts and grabbed some select items. I'm always careful to not overload on the trimmings as I'm here for the various cuts of meats. Pretty simple process. You flip your marker (green) over for cuts of meat being offered and over again (red) if you want to enjoy your meal. Then on and off again. The skewers of meat are divine, ranging from bacon wrapped chicken, to sausages, to a variety cuts and cooked beef, pork, or lamb. I opted for a 6oz. Lobster tail dripping in succulent butter, as well! Such an amazing experience! Thank you to the staff of Fogo and all of the chefs... hats off to you! As always, enjoy and Happy Sampling!

So sad to see such a shining star of a place in Tacoma fall so far. Seeing almost empty on a Saturday night confirmed it's not just us that has noticed such sad changes to the place.
