    Pao de Queijo and Coxinha
    Andrea G.

    I stopped by for Brazilian pastries and realized that there is now a name change. Sunstream Coffee is now Padoca Cafe. I ordered the traditional pao de queijo, which is a giant cheesy bread and a coxinha, which is a teardrop croquette filled with shredded chicken and cheese. Both were delicious. The pao de queijo was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The coxinha was huge and also filled with a ton of chicken and cheese. Super filling. The cafe is small so there only two tables for sitting. It's definitely more for to go. Service was quick. I would definitely come back again to try more of the pastries and maybe their acai bowl!

    I think they didn't rebranding cause the name was different but wow such yummy pastries. I was not familiar with some of these like the coxinha and the powdered milk ball. But both were delicious. I would definitely come again to try more and their acai looked good as well. Service is fast and friendly. It's close by trader joe's and target as well.

    We swung by this morning and got super lucky! A nice parking spot right in front of the door, and food that seriously blew us away. Coming from LA, Porto's is the name of the game, but this Brazilian storefront was next level homemade and delicious. I seriously wish we had a place like this available back home. The cashier was super sweet and patient with us as we perused all the options; we finally settled on the following: 1) Risolis - Beef & Corn 2) Risolis - Ham & Cheese 3) Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread) 4) Pamonha Assada 5) Coxinha I've been off chicken for a while (pregnancy life), but everything else was stunning. The beef & corn risolis was a larger next level potato ball--you could taste how fresh the ingredients were and the spices used were perfection. The ham & cheese risolis was next level decadent--as someone lactose intolerant, I'd risk it all for this one (multiple times). The cheese bread was exactly what we thought it would be; it had that perfect spring as it puffed back into shape after the first bite. Dog dad loved the coxinha, and the pamonha assada was the perfect way to round off our gluttony in a parking lot. The inside of the store is cozy and cute--2 tables available for those looking to hunker down. We were on the move today, so we ate everything in a parking lot after getting gas. Definitely a place you should swing by--I know I'll be thinking about their treats even when we get home.

    The most incredible Brazilian pastries and service, and some great coffee too. The coxinha is like nothing else, and their risoles are so good.

    A coffee shop with unique pastry items both sweet & savory. Parking isn't difficult in the mornings and if you're willing to walk a block or two, anytime is a great time. The staff is friendly and ready to help make recommendations. There are 2 tables inside. My favorite was the coconut & cheese bread.

    Empada de frango
    Elaine W.

    Delicious authentic Brazilian pastries! This seems to be the place where all the local Brazilians come to get coffee and pastries. I tried many of their pastries including their coxinha, rissoles, and empada de frango. Only downside is that they have recently raised their prices. Overall great service and experience.

    Roughly one year ago, I was in Sao Paolo, Brazil for work. I wanted to remember what it was like in the before times (pre-COVID) so I searched Yelp for "Pao de Queijo" and found Sunstream Coffee. Off I went! Reasonably-priced coffee and Brazilian goods like Pao de Queijo (cheese bread), coxinhas (fried dough wrapped around shredded chicken), acai bowls, and more! The Pao de Queijo was the highlight when compared to the mocha which was just okay.

    I had just got back from Brazil and was craving an açaí bowl. Glad when I walked in they were speaking Portuguese. Picked myself up an açaí bowl to go. I was pleasantly surprised that the bowl was large. All the toppings were perfect. Have come back for more bowls!

    Outstanding small business, deserves our support, been coming here for years. The acais are very good especially a hot SF day like today.

    Coxinha x Coconut Bread x  Pao de queijo recheado
    Deneb T.

    I come here on my walk to work in the morning and their pastries always fills me up! Friendly workers, greets you whenever you come in and are helpful if you're not sure what to get. I've tried their Coxincha, Esfiha de Frango com Palmito and Coconut Bread, all are great! I usually get the Coxincha more often than the others. Would definitely be back to try the rest of their pastries and drinks, perhaps. Best to come in the mornings or before the afternoon since they do run out by then. So come early!

    Plastic CHUNKS in ONE BITE
    Andy K.

    Holy crap, this place is dangerous. I asked for an Acai bowl, he blended the spoon in the bowl. I also found tons of massive plastic chunks from the blender press. I still have them on my desk. When I complained, he never said sorry, he said it's fine and he'll make a new one. I asked for a refund and he took back the re-made acai, and he re-funded me the pre-taxed cost. WTF This place is sketch as hell. Never coming back to this sh!t-show.

    Their Coxinha...filling is chicken, cream cheese, and olives
    Emy B.

    03-15-18 I am extremely happy Sunstream is still a staple in the neighborhood. Today I tried their white cherry juice which was blended cherries, water, and ice. So good! I also went in for the chicken and cream cheese filled potato balls which are big, crispy, and hot. Parking can be a bit difficult, but so worth it. I love their small renovated space too. .......... No longer will I worry about wanting to go to Porto's for some potato balls...delicious big ones right in the city! Will plan on ordering some for future parties, thanks to you Sunstream!

    mmmm, coxinha

On the days we have gone, the line has varied from being out the door to a quick walk in and order - truly just depends. Regardless of the long line, these drinks are soooo good. Upon entering the coffee shop, you'll see a good amount of seating, but for the times we have gone, the majority of the seats are taken. It is definitely a variety of people socializing, working, reading books, or just hanging out. Parking is metered or street parking, and we haven't had any issue finding parking! It's also in an area where you can shop around (across the street) if you want to grab a bite as well. Our go to orders include the Mocha Dream Espresso Cloud and the Nitro Mango, but we have also gotten the Hojicha Cloud, which is amazing as well. We love the thickness and flavors of the cold foams - you cannot go wrong with any of the cloud drinks. As popular as this place has become, it truly is worth the trip! We will always make a trip whenever we are in the city!

Staff was kind and patient with explaining drinks, especially since this location is newer. I got the caramel latte cloud espresso and was very pleasantly surprised!!! I usually get specialty drinks half sweet, but forgot this time - the caramel latte cloud espresso was actually just right without adjusting the sweetness. The cold foam on top was light and delicious. They only had one size and it was pretty big. The applewood bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on brioche bread was also amazing. Very savory, not too heavy either. It was mostly just bread though. Definitely coming back to try their other drinks when I'm in the area!

So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.
