Cafe de Casa

I’m writing this review with honest feedback because I truly believe this place has potential. I first visited in the morning for breakfast, and later returned around 1:00 PM with a group from work. Unfortunately, when we arrived at 1:00 PM, there was almost nothing left in the display. I felt embarrassed bringing my coworkers there and finding so few options available, especially after speaking highly of the bakery. The empadas did not have the authentic Brazilian-style crust I’m familiar with, and I didn’t enjoy them as much as I expected. The beef crepe also did not seem freshly made; it appeared to be pre-prepared and assembled when ordered. For a restaurant of this size and reputation, maintaining proper inventory during peak hours is very important. It was also difficult to find parking, and after finally arriving with my group, there was very little available to purchase. Additionally, I found the pricing quite high — paying over $5 for bread with butter felt excessive. I’ve visited many Brazilian bakeries across the U.S., and I had high expectations for this one. Two years ago, I visited your smaller location, and at that time the quality and pricing were noticeably better. I’m sharing this feedback because I would genuinely like to see improvements and have a better experience next time. I hope this is taken as constructive feedback.

Very cute minimalist cafe. Reminds me of the ones in Rio except the “gluten free” items taste as described. Was a bit disappointed in the cheesy bread/Pão de queijo. The presentation is great. Food was just ok. I’d come here for the coffee and vibes.

Came here today for the first time, we don’t live in SF so we didn’t know this place until this afternoon. The coffee was good, and I really like the idea of offering tapioca crepes, that’s a great touch and something you don’t see everywhere. They also offer frozen menu to go. Their service could be better. The guy at the register was pretty meh, disinterested and not very welcoming, which took away a bit from the experience.

A very COOL slot! A gem I would say!! A great spot in the waterfront area without a lot of great options around. Brazilian offer g with unique crepes made from Tapioca (a little bit tough in my opinion). Very fun and unique coffee menu and breakfast and dessert treats. Well decorated and big with great energy and slots to work from for a little while. Highly recommend going in and checking it out, especially if you’re gluten free as there are fun new options easily labeled to try.

This was our first time visiting Casa de Café and trying their tapioca crepes. The texture was definitely unique — a bit different from what we were expecting, and it took some getting used to. The coffee, however, was excellent and probably the highlight of our visit. I ordered the omelet crepe, which had good flavor overall but was unfortunately too salty. My wife ordered the Romeo and Juliet crepe, and she found the texture too odd to eat, but again this was our first time having tapioca crepes . Overall, it was an interesting experience, but the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The coffee alone might bring us back, but we’d probably try something different next time.
