Pitanga NEVER misses. They are easily one of Brooklyn’s top healthy cafes. I’ve dined in and also ordered delivery. Both were flawlessly executed with delicious food. The açaí bowl is the perfect size, perfect temperature and perfect ingredients and toppings. The flavor is exactly what you would want in an açaí bowl. Sweet enough but not overpowering. Their cafe drinks are also delicious and perfectly made. The staff does a great time getting the drinks out quick and efficiently. The smoothie (the berries one) is so delicious and fresh. I feel healthier as I’m drinking it! This spot is 10/10 in every area. I’m excited to be a frequent customer of Pitanga! Ps. Look at hot perfect the delivery is… have you ever received drinks that haven’t leaked at all??? Amazing!!

In Brooklyn for the weekend with a friend who lived in the neighborhood a couple years ago. This place feels like home. This spot was so cute, food was incredible and the service was friendly and top notch. They had gluten free options like the Banana Bread which was also Vegan. This place is a dream. Hope to be back soon. ❤️✨

I really love the old setup and the food from the last time I visited in March. Acai was a letdown, not like I had it last time; the base was not consistent, a bit liquefied like it was blended. It is still one of my favorites for the area whenever I visit. We shall see next time.

Typical hip Brooklyn food at the hip Brooklyn price point, although the yuca fries alone make this place worth the visit. Grab a drink and an appetizer and visit with some friends.

Went here for breakfast with a friend and really enjoyed the food—especially the yuca fries, which were my favorite! The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes it great for a casual bite. I’d definitely come back for the food alone. That said, the service was just okay. It felt a bit off having to pay and tip at the time of ordering, especially without knowing what kind of service to expect. Nothing about the service stood out, but it wasn’t bad either—just not particularly memorable. Overall, I’d return for the food and the ambiance more than anything else.

I don’t often opt for vegan fair mostly because I never tend to feel satisfied after a meal so it took me awhile to give Pitanga a try. Eventually though you run out of new breakfast spots and one must succumb to Pitanga. Overall this space is very large and welcoming for what is common in the area and I was very impressed with the layout of both the cafe and restaurant. The service was good and attentive and everyone seemed to be enjoying the space allotted by restaurant. As a carnivore you won’t find much you’ll to get excited about on the menu but I’m sure you can find something to get outside of your norm. Overall the food was pretty good I do think the portion sizes were a bit small for the price though.

We had the opportunity to grab late brunch here and were pleasantly surprised with our entire experience. We hadn't made a reservation but were able to be seated immediately. We looked over the menu and decided to share an order of yuca fries which I had never had before. These are some extremely tasty fried fries that are served with a delicious dipping sauce. I decided to go with the breakfast burrito for my main dish and was also decently filled up given that this was a very well filled burrito. The space itself is very modern and sleek - giving off the vibes of an art gallery that was transformed into a restaurant. They also have a cafe space adjacent to the restaurant as well. A great place to visit for brunch with friends.

I’ve been a customer at Pitanga for five years now, and it’s always been one of my favorite spots for breakfast. My go-to order is a smoothie, breakfast burrito, and pao de quiejo. I’ve brought friends and family here over the years. The food is consistently great and it’s been a place I’ve loved supporting. That said, I’ve really noticed how much the prices have climbed. My most recent visit came out to over $50 for a breakfast of one. A few years back, that same meal was closer to $30, which already felt pricey. Pão de queijo is now $9 each! It just feels out of step with the spirit of pão de queijo, which is usually an everyday snack. I’ve actually started making my own at home and for the same $9, I can buy the ingredients for an entire batch. I’d happily be here every week if the prices were more reasonable. But as much as I love the food, I’m honestly not sure if I should come back. I get that New York is expensive, but the prices here have become so high.

I love the food here simply bc it is Brazilian but the customer service has made me leave several times. The only reason I come back is for the food it’s unfortunate that there isn’t any welcoming faces or words nor friendly service. Belkys was extremely sarcastic and rude on my recent visits of which if it wasn’t for the other waitress who served me which also was indifferent I wouldn’t have tipped at all.

As a Brazilian, I can say that this place is a rip-off. The food is indeed fresh (at least that), but it's very bland and the wait time is far too long. It's also far too expensive for what it offers; a sandwich with regular bread and a regular egg for almost 20 dollars could at least be made with better quality bread, but it's anything you'd find at a cheap Brooklyn supermarket. The "pão-de-queijo" (cheese bread) is decent, and so is the açaí. I would only go back there for that.

I have been wanting to go here several times cause it looks beautiful from outside and pretty busy, but honestly the food experience was mediocre and even lame. When you go to a place and you order “the house breakfast” you expect to get the best of the house. I ordered the “Brazilian Breakfast” (I’ve been to Brazil more than ten times), well the Brazilian breakfast at Pitanga is a tiny metal pan, with a base of 6 spoons of a tasteless beans, that seems to have been taken straight from the can, some chopped tomatoes and onion of top (two spoons) a couple pieces of avocado floating there And with 1 single baked (dry) egg on top. A side of a (half piece!) of cheese bread comes on the side to make this a little sadder. We also make order a side of Yuca fries (that was not real yuca but a processed paste of yuca - McDonald’s quality ) The service and the space were good overall. They just need to improve the level of the food that was VERY far from being Brazilian or even standard quality at least.

The food here is genuinely excellent — I truly enjoy it every time. However, the service timing is completely unacceptable. Waiting 30 to 45 minutes for something as simple as oatmeal is unreasonable by any standard. The bigger issue, though, is delivery. If you order delivery, expect to wait anywhere from one to two hours. That is not an exaggeration. Blaming Uber or a third-party service is not a valid excuse — the restaurant chooses to partner with that service, and managing that relationship is their responsibility. If the current system is not working, then it needs to be fixed or replaced. Hire dedicated drivers if necessary. It’s extremely disappointing because this is a great place with serious potential, but the service experience is undermining the quality of the food.
