Amazing gluten free option in NYC. I ordered the tapioca sandwich with chicken. Absolutely delicious and an iced match lemonade. Sooo good! I give them 100 for food, service and all. Good job! read more

The guy ringing me up was all smiles, but the woman making my matcha cappuccino couldn't have been bothered to acknowledge me or smile. I usually don't care too much about this, but the difference was stark. Definitely get the Brazilian cheese bread. It was spot on! No bathroom for customers. That's a bummer. read more

Tap - The Best açaí in NY ever ! I - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I never heard of tapioca crepes, it's not a thing in California so I had to try it. It's essentially as crispy as a Taco shell but less brittle, with a starchy taste. My opinion? It's not bad, but definitely don't see it exploding as the next big food trend. The carnitas was actually really tasty and tender. Service was average and price is moderate to expensive for the portion. One crepe was not filling at all. I do like the cozy cafe-style interior. 3.5 stars from me, rounded up since I appreciate the uniqueness! Food: 3.75/5 Value: 3.25/5 Service: 3.5/5 Overall: 3.5/5 read more

Yum! This place is great. Nice and healthy choices including tapioca sandwiches, açaí bowls and smoothies. I got the mini panini which is also tapioca and it's a great price for either a substantial breakfast or light lunch! read more

For the past couple years or so, I've been lusting after Jeff O.'s gorgeous Upper West Side food pics. Seeing the neighborhood's culinary scene through his lens made me want to rethink my entire "the Upper West Side sucks for food" philosophy. Ultimately, I could no longer resist. I contacted the man himself and he was kind enough to give me a list of his favorite haunts to help me plan a mini food crawl in the area. So Jeff O., this one's for you: The thing to get here is definitely a tapioca crepe. LOVED its uniquely chewy cum crispy texture! A lot. I think I'd get a different filling next time, though. Wasn't that crazy about my goat cheese, arugula and mushroom pick. The cheese totally overwhelmed the veggies and it was all I could taste. Nonetheless, this was so different in the best of ways. Also tried some pao de queijo, aka Brazilian cheese bread, and liked this, too. Maybe not as airy as what I've encountered elsewhere, but packed with flavor. Experienced a bit of sticker shock with the 2 for $5 price, but then, am used to getting this at random little storefronts in Newark, New Jersey. Both of these are gluten-free by definition, in case that's a selling point for you. This fast casual cafe offers minimal seating and fwiw, sells their pao de queijo frozen to reheat at home. Also spotted brigadeiros, Brazilian condensed milk truffle-like treats, should you be in the mood for something sweet. read more

Eh... I got a steak sandwich at the midtown location. Service was polite and helpful. The ambiance was cute and the food was average. My real complaint was the price point. I understand that its NYC and this is a gluten free Brazilian restaurant was almost $16.00. Way too much for what you get. read more

Amazing food!! Coffee is great! I got the traditional cheese roll (pao de queijo) and it's soooo good. 2 for $6 but I only got 1 for 3.25. I would get two next time. The young woman who works here idk her name but she's soooo sweet and helpful with the menu. read more

Really loved this place when I went in person. Everyone is so nice. And love that everything is gluten free! I took one star off because I ordered the power bowl ($16) and I didn't really understand what the milk powder was going to be like but didn't expect it to just be literally powder in the bowl. Thought it might be blended into the acai like a protein powder? But it was just in there like a layer or topping and honestly did not taste good at all and ruined the rest of the bowl for me. It was all in the peanut butter too which is my favorite part and was impossible to eat around. It's really weird just eating a powder straight up too. Would not recommend for the price or just get it without the powder. read more

Came here in a rush to order some hot chocolate. It was one of the best hot chocolates I had in the city. Very chocolaty and not too sweet.

The place have the best Brazilian vibe with good service and the real taste of Brazil

The acai bowl (the Monster Bowl) was too sweet for my liking but the toppings were delicious and numerous. The real star is the Pao De Queijo - especially the cheese and the jalapeno! read more

Best Acai and best cheese bread in the neighborhood. Yet no healthy alternatives for those who have concerns with sugar and carbohydrate loads. No WC available. Friendly staff but have experienced poor customer service and poor customer's appreciation from management and owners several times. read more

The best açaí place in the world. The monster bowl is the only way to go. It's a lot of açaí, but the toppings are what makes this truly incredible. This place is expensive but I can't help but go nearly every other week - I always do one monster bowl, and one pesto cheese ball which is just *chef's kiss* read more

On a girls trip with my daughter and this was our first stop in NYC. The jalapeño cheese bread was out of this world and both of our mini panini sandwiches were amazing. The service was outstanding - so friendly and welcoming. Ambiance was super cute. No celiac reaction which was to be expected since it is 100% gluten free. I couldn't recommend this one more. Top notch and we will probably visit at least one more time while we're in the city. read more

Got the parma crepe. It was pretty good but felt like it was overly oily. I was pretty full by the first half. Would get it again but felt like it was bit overpriced at ~15$ read more

Cute spot on the UWS! I came with a friend on a Sunday at 1pm and it wasn't a problem getting a table. (You order at the counter and seat yourselves.) Most of the tables only seat 2, though, so bringing a group in might be tough. First impression of the tapioca crepes: these look like styrofoam! But are thankfully much tastier. They're chewy with a slight crunch, and somewhat airy. I ordered the Eggs Benedict crepe. Overall it wasn't bad, but 1) the portion size was pretty small, and 2) the egg is fried, not poached. (I suppose a poached egg would probably be logistically difficult. But the brunch fiend in me was still a bit disappointed.) My friend got the carnitas, which was slightly larger than my crepe, but still rather small of a portion in my opinion. I wouldn't say tapioca crepes are my new go-to, but they're definitely worth a try - and a nice gluten-free option! read more

My wife and I got: 1. The chicken club on the tapioca wrap 2. The and avo wrap on an egg wrap 3. A traditional and a pesto cheese bread 4. A plain iced latte Each thing knocked it out of the park. Nothing was disappointing at all. Probably the best gluten-free breakfast wrap/sandwich I've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

I came here on Sunday 12pm. You order at the counter and seatings are first come first serve. We didn't have trouble grabbing a table. Interior was cute and comfortable. We ordered: Lox cream cheese crepe - Average. The texture of the tapioca crepe is slightly firm and chewy. I asked for no capers but instead got a ton in it. I didn't see any red onions so maybe there was some miscommunication? There was a ton of cream cheese and not enough smoked salmon.. sadly since the crepe was nearly $13. Acai bowl - Good, beautifully presented and overpriced. I checked in for 10% off but I'm not too sure if I actually got the discount. The cashier looked confused when I showed him. I didn't complain about the capers either. And I'm not sure why the water cups were the size of a espresso shot. I don't think I will be returning. It's an interesting "healthy" concept but I prefer traditional crepes. read more

After a frigid morning in which I had to duck like a squirrel in and out of stores just to pull off my gloves and respond to texts/emails, I finally went into Tap because they advertised WiFi and there didn't seem to be a massive queue. Had to wait awhile for a seat to open up (with everyone else ignoring my silent pleas to hurry up) but the guy behind the counter was friendly, offering a loyalty card. I first ordered my standard of chai latte, which came frothy and sweet and actually hot rather than lukewarm. It came with a Hershey's kiss, which was a cute touch. I ended up getting hungry so I went and got a banana and a banana cake sitting in the display case. Some of the other menu items sounded delicious, like the açaí bowl and the tapioca crepes, but man oh man, I could have eaten five of those banana cakes. So, so moist. Overall, a warm neighborhood cafe. If you want seats on a weekend, get here early. read more

Been really excited about trying this place, but wasn't feeling my lunch too much. Got the vegan tapioca crepe and the banana muffin. Compared to the fluffy, gelatinous tapioca crepes I've had at other places, this one is very firm and hard, with zero taste. The banana muffin also had way too much nutmeg in it, though the consistency was so fresh and great. I'd like to try their carrot cake, which seems to sell out often, but wouldn't get a crepe again. read more

Everything in this place is gluten free! How amazing is that. I had the veggie cassava crepe with vegan cheese! I also got a banana muffin and my hubby got the chocolate carrot cakes! Talk about delicious The reason this place loses a star is because there is no public bathroom. Booo, a real bummer, especially if you traveled far to get to this place. You may want to make your "Employee Bathroom only" for paying customers as well. Average customer service. I would give it a 3.75 read more

Overpriced! This place is grossly overpriced. I ordered a tapioca crepe with Caprese filling, and with the $15 price tag, I was expecting something to blow me away if not at least fill me up. Although the crepe looked cute, I did not like the taste (it was too starchy for my liking), but the portion size was horrendous. I am not a heavy eater by any means, but after eating a crepe and one of their cheese puffs, I was still hungry. I could have bought a similar Caprese sandwich for half the price, which would have not only tasted better but would have also filled me up. I think Tap is trying to create a fad with the tapioca crepe but not sure how that will work without any returning customers. I can see people trying to it just to see what it is but never coming back again. At least that is where I am. I would have given two stars, but I am giving one star because of the outrageous price and also to offset the high rating they have (I have no idea why). read more

The Brazilian tapioca is very different from the taiwanese tapioca. This crepe was very unique but the tapioca by itself doesn't taste like anything. I liked the crepe as a mid-meal snack. The acai however was extremely sweet!! It's made with fruit juice instead of almond milk. If you like juices, you'll enjoy this acai bowl; otherwise stick to the crepes. I don't know if this tapioca will become the next fad, but for what it's worth it was worth a try. read more

Went on the hunt for a gluten free hot breakfast and was definitely not disappointed. Savory and sweet crepes, cheesy bread, acai bowls, and a variety of drinks. I tried the veggie wrapioca. It was delicious! Cooked to perfection and so fresh. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

I can't recommend TAP enough!!! For starters, you know the saying if the restaurant is from a different culture and it's filled with people of that culture that's a good sign, well this place is Brazilian and you can always catch them here. The food, coffee, and just overall energy is everything you want in this kind of low key, quick eats restaurant. It's my favorite local place and I got once a week for an Açaí bowl, it's the best by far in the city read more

This cafe is probably the biggest symbol yet of how dramatically the UWS dining scene has been shedding its reputation as a total wasteland. It's chic, it's delicious, it's bougie af, and it's got a trendy new food - tapioca crepes! - that you can barely find anywhere else in town. Usually, with any cool new food, there needs to be like a dozen downtown places selling said cool food before it comes to the UWS. And yet, here we are! Anyway sorry that introduction was really long. The crepes are good! Expensive, but good. The fillings provide most of the flavor, while the tapioca lends a really interesting textural element that's crisp and puffy. Eat your heart out Soho! read more

The best açaí bowl I've come across. Large portion- ya it's pricey. You're in NYC. No restroom.

This review is only for their crepe. Though they are famous for the tapioca crepe, I personally found it bland and the texture was hard and odd when compared to a traditional French crepe. This might be a good option for those with a gluten free diet. We got both savory and sweet crepes. Both skimped on the fillings inside and were small in size. read more

Nice little coffee shop in the UWS! They brew with Irving Farm Coffee Roasters so I had a nice cup of coffee as I was working on an assignment. Free WifI! Unisex bathrooms. The tables are mainly two-seater types and can get pretty crowded. They have a public restroom and great customer service! They pretty much forgot about the food I ordered.... but gave me two additional free drinks to compensate for the long wait. I got a "tapioca crepe" to munch on. I had a smoked salmon one. It's basically like a classic lox & bagel with capers and red onions but instead, they use tapioca! Tapioca apparently is not just in boba (bubble tea) drinks! Would definitely come again to do some work, but would have a backup plan in case it got too crowded! read more
