One of my favorite food experiences on this trip to NYC. I chose it as the food I wanted to have one more time on the day I left, getting carry out before taking the train to JFK airport. The online order and pickup process couldn't be easier. The pao de queijo is perfection and deeply satisfying if you like cheese and bread. It's gluten free as it is made with tapioca flour as well. The steak sandwich (I had it with the tapioca wrap) was super flavorful. The Brazilians know how to do meat! The tapioca wrap is okay. Some bits of it are like hard croutons which I don't like crunching on. read more

We received 4 wonderfully delicious pão de queijo and wow! This is perhaps some of the best pão de queijos I've ever had! And I even lived in São Paulo! So I know a good pão de queijo! I've also had pão de queijos from other spots in NYC, and Tap definitely triumphs them. I heated up the pão de queijos because I cannot eat them cold. I heated them in 350 for about 15 mins. They came out so fluffy and perfectly decadent with cheese. Each pão de queijo gave me 4 bites, definitely not enough!!! I will absolutely be heading over to Tap on the upper west side as soon as I can! read more

Good spot for a quick lunch not too far from Central Park. It caters to any diet really so parties with mixed dietary needs should try this spot out. I had the smoked salmon egg wrap, my husband the caprese tapioca sandwich, and our daughter had an acai bowl. We got a couple pão de queijos - definitely try the pesto flavor! We enjoyed all our food, everything came out fast. It's a bit cramped inside as far as seating goes but it is NYC after all. Would visit again! read more

I usually don't go to these health food stores / cafe type restaurants, but I decided to give this place a try. It's funny because I deeply associate the TAP acronym with Taiwanese American Professionals. Either way, this place was so much better than I had ever imagined and I will definitely be back. - Traditional Brazilian Cheese Bread - Definitely one of the best cheese breads I've had. I was a bit hesitant on ordering this at first because it seemed like it would just sit in the display case for a long time, but it was delicious! It was very chewy and was filled with cheesy flavors. - Spicy Brazilian Cheese Bread - I thought this was okay, would opt for the original version instead. - Monster Bowl - I haven't had an acai bowl in so long and I really should have it more often because I love it so much. Sure the weather isn't the best to eat this right now because it's windy and cold but the bowl was delicious. I was surprised that at every bite there were still nuts, fruit, and cacao bits to give it a complex flavor and texture profile. - Chicken Club Tapioca Sandwich - I didn't really know what to expect from this very expensive sandwich, but it was so much better than I thought. They essentially formed tapioca into a shell to hold all the ingredients which was very cool. The shell also added a crispiness factor to the sandwich. I thought the sandwich was going to be very flavorless and dry but the tomatoes helped create more moisture and they had cheese coat all over the tapioca. Overall, great experience at Tap and I would come back for more, surprisingly. read more

What a great find . I was in the city to see a show at Beacon Theater on a Friday evening and we wanted something quick, good, Gluten free and healthy and boy did this hit the spot. The place is small but does have a few tables insides. It's Brazilian. They have these delicious protein smoothies, fruit smoothies, power bowls, Pao de Queijo which are addicting and delicious . The Sandwiches are made out of Pao de Queijo instead of regular bread or wrap. The chicken for my mini sandwich was shredded, full of flavor and not dry! Some item I found were a bit pricy. They had a delicious coconut brownie. Piece was tiny and it was 6.00 . Sandwiches varied in size and price . But everything is made fresh , authentic and Gluten-free safe . It was very tasty! Staff was friendly, service was wonderful. I'd love to go back if I'm In the area! read more

Obsessed! This place is paradise for someone with a gluten and dairy allergy. Everything is gluten free and they have such amazing vegan cheese to substitute in the sandwiches. The wraps are good but my absolute favorite are the tapioca sandwiches which can be made without the parmesan crust. They have the most insane texture and are unlike anything else I've had. The best combo I've tried so far is the chicken club tapioca with vegan mozzarella. I order it on Uber eats almost every week lol. It can be hard to trust Uber Eats when you have allergies but I totally trust this place and it has become my go-to. Whenever I place an order, they bring it in an orange tap bag with a happy little message written on it for me. Thank you tap!! read more

Came here for a snack in the afternoon and was happily surprised by how much we liked their smoothie! I'm really excited to try their açaí bowl next time since the base is probably just as good. The smoothie was well mixed and light, not overly sweet and no ice chunks - problems I've had with other smoothies around here lol. Also, the cheese bread we got was so good!!! They were pretty light inside and every bite was really cheesy and satisfying. We tried both the regular and the spicy cheese bread, and found that the spicy bread wasn't all that spicy - it tasted fairly similar to the normal one with a slight kick to it. But make sure not to order it expecting something super spicy lol Can't wait to come back here and try the rest of their menu!! Service was quick too and very friendly! read more

Overall this was a good breakfast that fueled me up for the day. I opted for the egg wrap avocado & eggs and removed the cheese, i would order it again but could have used some hot sauce. The açaí itself was good and the fruit was fresh but the granola was not as I expected. The granola had whole cashews and lots of seeds as opposed to your standard granola- again it was good just not as I was expecting. It's a very tight place, seating is limited but we were able to get an outside table. As soon as I sat down I was pooped on by a bird so definitely a risk to be aware of it when you're sitting outside anywhere. read more

Brazilian cheesy bread! I got all 3 flavors of the cheesy bread - traditional, pesto, and spicy. The breads are not filled with cheese but I believe the cheese is incorporated in the bread. The spicy one had a jalapeño taste to it. The pesto one just tasted like your average pesto. The traditional one was my favorite, probably because it was the most moist one and fluffiest out of all of them. The other 2 were a bit on the drier side, but still good taste! The breads were a good size, as big as the palm of your hand. Service was fast as they had it ready. It was also near closing, so not many people were there, but whenever I pass by it during the day time, there's a good amount of people. read more

Came here two different times for different items and both times were great. The first time I ordered the small açaí bowl and it was really good. The texture was smooth and creamy and was the right amount of sweet. It was very refreshing. The second time I ordered the chicken sandwich for pick up. It was really tasty and didn't leave me feeling bloated even though it was quite a bit of food. It's definitely on the pricey side for a sandwich but was very unique and tasty. The service was great both times. The staff were nice and got my food at a reasonable time. When I ate there, it was in the evening so there was plenty of seating and it was pretty chill. However, when I got pick up, it was a beautiful day and the place was packed. So if you plan to eat there on a nice day, it might be full. Luckily Central Park is nearby.

Came here with my friend and I can't believe I just walked by this place - it is amazing!! When you walk in, it is a bit chaotic to order because they're so busy and the place is on the smaller size (NYC haha), but they give you a clicker and food came out relatively fast for a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the caprese panini that incorporates their Brazilian cheese bread - it was so awesome (a little oily, but I liked that the shell of the sandwich was crunchy). The pesto they put it in was amazing too - super flavorful and not too salty. They have a huge menu - I'm definitely coming back to try either the fruit smoothie or the acai bowl. They also have their three Brazilian cheese breads, and honestly, if you need a quick snack, they're only $3.50 and super delicious!

Everything was so colorful, delish and healthful, making me relatively guilt-free while committing gluttony. There were so many recipes I rarely have the opportunity to experience, yet here they were - all at the same bar. I particularly enjoyed the roasted zucchini, pickled tomato, greens with roasted pears, and persimmons. For those who require animal protein, smoked salmon and chicken salad were available, as well as pork at the Feijoda bar. Speaking of which, I wasn't a fan of that section. The Feijoda was too salty while the lentil soup was too bland. The ambiance was elegant and staff were professional. There were a few issues for me personally: none of the staff replenishing the food spoke English, they had to correct my bill twice, and the person who answered my call was scripted and mechanical - I might as well talk to a bot.

She gave amazing recommendations on what to order for both food and drinks and had such a pleasant personality, which really made the night special. Our table ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, and the portions were perfect. We started with the cucumbers, which were super refreshing and flavorful. Definitely get the crispy rice -- every version was great, but the crab and salmon tartare were the table's favorites. For crudo, we got both the yellowtail and the salmon, and the yellowtail was so good we had to order a second round. The skewers were also a hit. Each one comes with its own sauce depending on the meat or veggie, and they come three pieces per skewer, with a minimum order of three. We tried the beef, chicken, and eggplant, all cooked perfectly. We ordered all three desserts. Our favorite was the crêpe cake. Definitely order this.

Steak was not tender, as it was difficult to cut especially with the knife they had available. Fries were not crispy enough and very bland. I also got to try the Crispy Salmon and Cheesy mushroom rice. Crispy Salmon had a delightful crispness on the edges. The Salmon was also succulent and flaky. Cheesy mushroom rice was cooked perfectly, with plenty of irresistible melty cheese with mushroom and tasty seasoning. Service was decent. Prices were not bad. However, I would not return because the food was mediocre.

While the other place might make a slightly better burger, Hamburger America wins on the overall experience.

The ambience - very very old school hamburger joint vibes; surprised there were no servers on rollerskates inside lol. But very fun. The service was friendly and prompt. I ordered the fried onion burger and a side of slaw. The slaw...while having good flavor (I think a kick of mustard), was just drowning in watery mayo. But on to the burger - good lord were those onions piping hot lol, but very very tasty and added a nice element of sweetness to the burger. The smashburger patties were nicely cooked - though I did find the patties didn't really have the crispy lacing, perhaps of the added moisture from the onions; with a great video of the griddle and kitchen, it did seem like the classic smash burgers did have that crispy look. Either way, the burger was still very satisfying and I'm glad I came by. I'll definitely have to come in for the classic smash and compare!
