Amazing Brazilian Café — Must Visit! I run the Christmas tree stand in front of the CVS, and I stopped by TAP the Brazilian café recently, I was blown away. The whole place has such a beautiful vibe, and the staff make you feel right at home. Camilla and Amanda are absolute stars, warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. Their service genuinely made my day. The pão de queijo was incredible, and the tapioca bacon, egg & cheese is to die for. Everything is gluten-free and super fresh. If you’re looking for authentic Brazilian flavors, great coffee, and a cozy atmosphere, this spot is a must-go. I’ll definitely be back. 🙌🌿

We come to Tap so often because the quality never disappoints. Their açaí bowls are always so fresh, healthy, and full of flavor—you can really taste the difference! It’s our favorite spot when we want something nutritious and satisfying. And the cheese balls… absolutely delicious! Warm, perfectly cooked, and so addictive – they’re a must-try every time we visit. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the food is consistently amazing. Highly recommend! 💯

TAP is my happy place. The food is adventurous, comforting, healthy, high quality and absolutely delicious. The proprietors genuinely care about people, both their customers and their employees. They’ve created a warm, fun, relaxing refuge that you’ll want to hang out in regularly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TAP is an absolute gem on the Upper West Side. Every time I come here I feel like I’m back in Brazil. The tapiocas are perfection, the açaí bowls are divine, and the smoothies are so rich, fresh, and delicious. Every sip tastes like home. The staff is warm, friendly, and genuinely Brazilian in the best way. You can feel the love in everything they do. The whole place just radiates good energy and authenticity. It’s perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. My favorite spot when I want a real taste of Brazil in New York.

Easy to find off of busy 3rd Ave. Comfortable space. Ordered: lean steak and chicken tapioca sandwiches, açaí bowl, OJ with ginger, drip coffee. Came at HH which means buy 2 pão de queijo and 3rd one free. So I tried one of each: regular, jalapeño, and pesto. Also going to try the Cupuaçu bar. Food is excellent. Tapioca "breading" was soft, some edges crunchy like a toasted bread. Flavor's amazing, on point. Pão was excellent texture. I liked the pesto most. The açaí was the best. Smooth, true açai taste (assuming with guaraná). The granola was another highlight. Will definitely try again when I get the chance.

I am so happy I could have safe Acai as a gluten free person! The bowls taste great and there are many things to choose from!

Incredible food and service. Lovely manager who took good care of us. It was amazing to be able to eat at a 100% gluten free restaurant with fresh Brazilian ingredients. I inhaled the food too fast to take a picture

A cafe with a warm, homemade feeling that everything is made with care. The Brazilian cheese bread is Incredible - freshly made, with a perfectly crispy outer layer and a soft, pillowy interior of light & fluffy dough, mixed with the satisfying chewiness of the cheese. The acai bowl was also very good - solid portion size, the acai was not too diluted, and with a good proportion of the layered protein powder & peanut butter. Service is friendly and unpretentious, very casual and welcoming. Lots of seating inside as well. Very highly recommend! :)

This exceeded our expectations, which were already high based on the reviews. I had the spicy tuna and my daughter had the breakfast sandwich, accompanied by oat lattes and gf chocolate cookies. Absolutely delicious!! And it was such a treat to be able to order anything safely, since everything is gluten free!

We ordered the six-pack of the cheese bread for $17, selecting two of each variety (regular, spicy, pesto). The tapioca sandwiches were really satisfying. As someone with celiac, the freedom of the gluten-free menu was amazing. We’ll be coming back.

It smelled really good inside Tap. I ordered the Lean Steak Club Egg Wrap and cheese breads. The food was prepared fast and tasted really delicious. The presentation was great. The staff were friendly and informed me about happy hour specials. I was not hungry when I visited with my kids. I felt satisfied afterward, and my belly felt really comfortable. The monster Açaí bowl was delicious. It’s more economical to order a large bowl and share instead of two small ones in my opinion. The chicken club was tasty. I probably would try the chicken egg wrap next time. Renzo Gracie Members receive discount for orders. I added the savings to my tips for the kind staff. It’s nice to have Tap in our neighborhood.

I had a very positive 4-star visit to TAP Brazilian Café. Both the food and the service were high points, earning 4 stars each. The atmosphere was also good, providing a dependable 3-star backdrop for a high-quality and reliable meal.

Good acai bowl Lack of flexibility. Told them I have allergy but still charged extra for replacing granola to coconut flakes.

Philippa King

Really good gluten free tapioca sandwich, I got the spicy tuna with a mango coconut smoothie. The smoothie was fine. Grateful to have gluten free options but this is so expensive - I spent over $30 for a sandwich and a smoothie which is kinda outrageous even for NYC. But the food is good and it’s a cute place.
