    Been coming here consistently for two years and it is still my favorite restaurant in Santa Cruz. The staff is always so kind and friendly, the service is fast and attentive, and the place is always super clean. The food is unbelievably flavorful and the portions are very generous, you can tell that the ingredients are very fresh. The pricing is totally fair. Thank you Cafe Brasil!

    Food is delicious. I've only ever had vegetarian dishes here but I've enjoyed them all. The coffee is STOUT but very tasty and the plantains are great to share at the table. Parking is not so great but find a spot around the corner and walk over, you'll survive. Seating on the patio is really nice and the service is always top notch.

    Has been my go-to favorite breakfast spot in Santa Cruz for years and years! Everything is amazing, and I will always have a soft spot for the banana pancakes (the soft spot being my stomach, lol).

    Amazing service, great recommendations and we were seated quickly as we made a reservation on Yelp. The server was polite and good came quickly. Love the extensive choice of selections and one of the best brunches in the Bay Area. Would definitely come back again and try the more Brazilian dishes next time.
