Kitanda Espresso & Açai

I've been to these guys plenty of times before. Their Kitand bread sandwiches are delicious. Whether you want something sweet or savory, they have a good variety. I went for the Lean Pastrami Kitanda. What I first like about the sandwich is that it is nice and small and not overall stuffed with ingredients. You are able to taste the pastrami, the spinach and the mozzarella on every bite. As for the texture of the bread itself is slightly crunchy at first bite, but once you keep chewing away the texture becomes more soft and chewing. It does not have a big amount of salty taste, but none the less, it is an overall yummy and delicious experience.Oh the young staff (most likely UWS students) are always super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Some individuals who work with the public need a better disposition. Customer service is key not a shitty attitude!Really disappointed people deal with costumers who.make mistakes and get dismissed with crap attitude. If you don't like your job or having a bad day stay the fxck home. Your welcome

This is a smaller location in the WSECU building. My usual's are the chicken croquettes, the bread, and jasmine tea. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't comment about that, but the jasmine tea is so strong and delicious.If you like sweet stuff then you will like their smoothies. I had one and it was way too much sugar for me. I will say the same for their acai bowls. If they would lay off the sugar on those things then I would eat them. This is a quiet place that never gets too crowded or loud the way a Starbucks would. There are tables available for sitting and there are always lots of students there hanging out and studying. There are also Brazilian products available for sale. What I love is that you can also buy the bread and chicken cones frozen and take them home. The location is only convenient if you are on foot. Whenever doing business nearby, I stop in and grab a treat.

Delicious! I had the Kitanda bread and a chicken cone. They were hot, fresh and delicious! I bought some bake at home breads so I can serve to my family and friends. Yum!

Went to this Kitanda location to study while waiting for my car to be serviced nearby. It's adjacent and shares the same space as a BECU, so their wifi is BECUs. I ordered a latte and the cheese breads and they were both delicious. The service was also fast. I did overhear the worker saying her co-worker was a no show/cancelled so she was super busy. She seemed stressed and complained that no one tipped her that morning. That's when I realize they don't allow tips on the screen and only cash tips. Hopefully they change that soon because hardly anyone carries cash or small bills these days. I did come here to study, so I was a little disappointed by the lack of outlets. I only saw one in the corner next to the window and "bar" type seating. Wish they had more.Bathrooms were clean and code locked. Overall a good experience, just wish they had more outlets!

I love acai bowls and Kitanda has been one of my favorite places to go even waaaaaaay back in the day when acai bowl places were far and few. I usually just get the Traditional bowl, but I switched it up and got the Louco bowl (nuts and peanut butter galore). I think the best bowls are more "fruity" that "nutty", but just my preference! They use Sambazon Acai puree packs which is my favorite to use at home (can be found in shop as well). A must try is the "cheesy bread" which come in small and regular sizes. You can also buy some frozen bread to make at home (delicious fresh out of the oven).

I've been here twice for breakfast, specifically for the acai bowl. Bowls and coffe drinks are tasty but prices are crazy high.

I got a coffee and an Acai bowl. The Acai bowl was yummy, with fresh fruit and granola on the one I got. The coffee was strong and had a good flavor.This place is on the first floor of what I think is an apartment complex so it's a little tucked away and parking in the area may be hard to find. I walked here while getting my car serviced nearby.If there's a line I think servie would be slow, as there was only one person working. So if you're in a hurry I wouldn't say this is going to be fast.

Friendly service and good food. The place is nice even though it is in a building, but what would you expect at University Av. Quebra um galho as the Brazilians say.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Açaí bowls are wonderful. Coffee was too mild for my taste but still good.
