Cafe De Casa

It turns out a guy I went to high school lives in South SF and insisted we meet here. It ended up being five of us, but, no matter. He also ordered up a combination for me that's not on the menu; it consists of Brazilian Tri-tip with a plantain. Next came a plate of beans and rice along with a ton of tasty veggies and some kind of potato salad (????). It was all delicious! I tasted The peanut butter Açaí and recommend it highly. They make a yummy Kombucha and some fabulous Salgados (pastries).Don't walk out without trying different coffees. My little buddy, Charlie, has a secret for that, too. One which I figured out was doubling the tip. He samples coffees and other drinks, secret menus and gets the word on the local scene. No wonder they climb all over each other to wait on God ole Charlie!The people here are a delight. Their patio/garden area was a treat and the location worked out great for everyone. 02/25

Unfortunately, I've had two unpleasant experiences in recent months at Casa de Casa. Both times resulted in extreme food poisoning, (once in September where me and two friends all experienced it) and again just last Friday after consuming an acai bowl. I was bed ridden for 24 hours.It's worth noting that I called to inform the manager after this most recent time and she was incredibly kind and apologetic when I reached out. She offered to cover medical costs and is sending the affected food for testing. She also mentioned that around 15 people contacted them in September with similar complaints on the acai bowl which is sourced from Brazil and had a high count of something that caused the illness when they ran testing. I did not ask for a refund or for bills to be paid but her honestly and her very caring response is why I offer 2 stars instead of 1.While I sincerely appreciated the manager's response, the recurring issues are so concerning that I will never return. I was quite disappointed, as I had previously enjoyed the food and atmosphere. However, the health concerns outweigh the positive aspects.I hope Casa de Casa can address these problems promptly to ensure the safety of their customers. They seem to be very busy and prior to my past two visits I had not gotten sick and enjoyed my meals there.

Hands down the best Acai bowl in SF/Peninsula!!! Not only that, their pastries and entrees also are consistently immaculate. They have awesome spicy sauce that has huge flavor and big kick to spice. Small shack with friendly service. I've been literally going here to get my acai bowl fix for the past 10+ years that I haven't even written a review in order to gatekeep... but the credit is due! I literally have made an effort to try other spots for acai bowls and I just keep coming back here as they really set the bar. Original Acai Bowl - 5/5 - The acai is cold, creamy enough, and screams good quality. Doesn't melt fast like other spots that appear to use frozen acai juice. Fruit are always fresh. Love how they cut the banana so thin. Granola is sweet and plentiful, almost as if it was dipped in honey. I like to add chia seeds and on occasion condensed milk. Acai Smoothie - 4/5 - you get their good quality acai in smoothie form. Does taste sweeter than the acai in the acai bowl. It seems as if they throw in some granola for a few crunchy bites here and there. Nice option if you are driving or can't chew for some reason but I'd rather get the bowl. Frango de Milanesa - 5/5 - Huge thin crispy piece of chicken full of savory flavor! All the sides were amazing from the garlic/butter rice, beans, salad (dice tomatoes & thin lettuce strings), and vegetables (looks like Mac salad but a spinach dip flavor with olives, peppers, and heart of palm). All of this mixed with a little of their hot sauce is a legit trip to flavortown. Coxinha - 5/5 - Crispy but doughy outside with a nice creamy and mild spiced inside flavor. Shredded chicken throughout. My partner really can't order anything else but this one and I can see why. Rissole de Presunto de Queijo - 5/5 - imagine a Brazilian ham and cheese hot pocket on steroids. Ham is diced into small pieces and the creamy cheese is very indulgent. Pretty filling. You can get this with corn too but I always stick to ham. Pao de Queijo Grande - 4/5 - always served warm and sets the bar for these bread cheese balls. Perfect texture with it being more doughy with a cheese flavor. Is on the smaller side compared to other pastries they provide for the same price point. Americano de Salsicha/Presunto - 4/5 - fresh and good quality. Bread is light. Both meats are not greasy at all. This is my go-to when taking a break from fried foods. Disco - 5/5 - breaded beef patty has a good size with the beef seasoned really well. Definitley needed rice when I ordered this one time lol. Enroladinho de Queijo - 5/5 - mildly sweet with good quality mozzerella. Ice Coffee with Chocolate - 4/5 - strong coffee flavor with subtle chocolate note

I really liked the ambiance of this cafe, so I was hoping to give it more stars but it fell short a little based on the service and quality. When you order, the cash register tries to trick you into giving a 25% tip which is wild to me since it's not a full service restaurant. The food I ordered was pretty good but the prices were a little high for the amount of food given. The pineapple and mint juice I got was very good and refreshing. I would likely go back just for the juice!

Yes to everything on their menu. I always leave full and dancing samba on my way out Thank you Cafe de Casa

Cafe De Casa was an accident find for breakfast nearby our hotel this past weekend. We ended up going twice on this short visit. I got the Acai Berry Bowl $16.75 on both days. I really enjoyed the consistency of their Acai mixture as it's thicker than most places and has a structure to it. So you get a really good mouthful as opposed to other places where it's often runny. I feel like this is how Acai bowls should be. The kids enjoyed their Empada de Frango and Coxinha. I can't say much about it since they ate it all and didn't share any of it. While enjoying our brunch, we saw the neighboring table get their orders and was amazed. Order after order of the steak or chicken lunch would come out and we were just an awe. The steaks were falling off the plate, and there was an additional plate of sides (rice, beans, salad, etc.). The Husband was convinced we needed to return the next day to get an order of the Bife Acebolado (grilled steak plate) and we convinced my sister and hubby to come as well. Unfortunately for us, we arrived at 10 am and it was busy. We were lucky to grab a table, but the devastating part was that lunch isn't served until 11 am. Big fail on our part. So everyone got their ready-made pastries to enjoy. (As we were in line, we saw items disappearing before our eyes, so arrive early if you want a selection.) The Husband and Little Guy enjoyed Abracadinho de Salsicha $5.95 and 2 Esfirra de Carne $5.95/each. The Little Gal had the Carrot Cake with Chocolate $7.70. It had a stronger orange flavor than carrot though. It's a good size cake and probably should be shared as she couldn't finish it. I also enjoyed the Pao de Queijo Grande $4.50 as I just love Brazilian Cheese Bread. (I have a bad habit of filling up on those when visiting Brazilian steakhouses.). They offer a large and small version, and the large one was just yummy. In retrospect, I should have grabbed a few to go, but the line was ridiculously long the whole time we were there and when we left.There is limited garden seating available. Once you place our order inside, you can hopefully grab a table and they will bring your order out. The Husband will definitely be on a mission to experience their lunch at some point. They are closed on Sundays, so that will make it a bit tricky during our weekend visits.

But a really good 4. It's popular and lots of techies hit this place; Order ahead for pickup is a definite. The stars are really the pre-made offerings, savory and sweet. I remember coxinha from when I came here 10 years ago, and I don't recall other Brazilian restaurants in the general SSF, Daly City, etc area. We got 2 entrees to take away. The proteins are generous and great quality: biftek and a massive perfectly deep-fried pounded chicken breast. I've forgotten the menu name for chicken but it was the Milanesa preparation. Menú is small and focused. Great looking Açaí bowls. Tempting desserts. Plenty of Portuguese speakers; my Spanish works also. One entree is enough for another peep or fill that PM craving. Really nice place.

I'm so sad that this place is all the way on the other side of the Peninsula (as someone coming from Mountain View) because this place is so worth the drive. From the entrees to the drinks & pastries, everything in this Brazilian cafe is incredibly delicious!I came by for lunch since I was up in South SF for business. I've driven by this a number of times now, but because they close early-ish (by 3 pm), I've always kept this place in my bookmarks in case I happened to be here during their operating hours. Upon entering, you see an assortment of savory and sweet pastries on display. The menu is simple - a few entrees to choose from, drinks, acai bowls, and a few others. I ordered the Frango Acebolado (grilled chicken with grilled onions), Pao de Quiejo, and Guarana soda.The Frango Acebolado does take some time to prepare (~20 mins), but once it came out, I was shocked. It was SOOOO much food for only $20! The chicken was fresh and juicy, and the sides were plentiful! I absolutely had to get a to go box to take home half of it for a 2nd meal. The Pao de Quiejo was fluffy yet chewy, with a subtle cheese pull to it. They also sold Brigadeiro (Brazilian fudge) as well, but only in a 5 pack! I was reaaaaaally tempted, but alas I resisted... but I won't resist the next time I'm back!

Epic Yelp find near less than a mile from SFO. Some of the best coffee ever. Top five coffee I have had. Brazil pasties are unique and hearty. I loved the coconut and mozzarella roll. Sounds a little different but so good.No inside seating. Parking in front or small public lot to side. Outside on a nice day is great. This day was misty overcast and ok. Servers are busy but coffee is made one at a time so not fast. Because it is good and close to a neighborhood and the airport, lots of locals getting their morning caffeine. Obrigado!

We are visiting the San Francisco area and this was the perfect start. Excellent service and great food! The portions are huge!!
