The yummiest Cheese bread since my last trip to Brazil.  The staff is friendly and will let you know if there are deals to be had. They do have a rewards program and you do save more when you join. I only came here for the cheese bread and it gave me memories of being back in Brazil.

It’s with about three tables and seating for about eight people maximum. I want to say that there is standing room but more than 12 people plus the staff there would be really tight.

Pretty clean space too.

What a great find! I had the chicken club panini and it was very tasty. I also bought the double chocolate chip cookie. Knowing that a place is 100% GF is a treat.

Let me start off by saying: WOW! The açaí is the best I’ve had in the city and would definitely recommend the power bowl. I also ordered TWO of the cheese breads ( one original and one pesto) to go and I just realized the only gave me one so I’m really bummed about that (which is why I have to deduct some stars).

If you are looking for a 100% gluten free meal without fear, this is the right place. The prices seem in line with what they sell, the acai bowl was delicious, and the peso bread or the cheese bread should be tried, plus it comes out hot. The place is small but it has a few tables, the service is fast and pleasant. 10/10 and I will return to this place to try more of their products

Update 11/18/24 previously 5 star review: I had to unfortunately change my review since this occurrence has become a constant problem and last week was the straw that broke the camel's back. Also, since no one replied nor reached out to me after emailing them - here is the email with redacted private info:

"It's 2:18 pm and I am sitting in front of your shop in the upper west side. This is an experience I have had many times but today takes the cake.

I ordered my lean steak wrap. I told the employee "for here". Employee then gives me my order in a cardboard box. I asked him why and he said because there's no room. I told him that group of 6 ppl who have obviously finished their meal twenty minutes ago will have to get up. Mind you, that group was very rude and they even had friends who were not even clients come in joining them. Amounting to eight ppl in your tiny shop. I looked at one of them and I told them you're going to have to give me one of your tables. One of the girls begrudgingly complied. And they sat there for another 20 minutes and talking all while five other patrons were waiting to sit.

And  another two friends came over and they had more conversations. I don't know how your employees or your company finds this appropriate. If I'm paying $20 for steak sandwich along with a 22% tip, I expect to be able to sit down for 10 minutes to eat and then leave. Mind you I usually don't care but I had just come from the  orthopedic surgeon's office and I needed to really sit down. I had walked all the way from NYU. So pray, tell me how you find this appropriate?"

I happen to be in the area and needed to grab a quick bite. I found this little place and I was immediately hooked. I ordered the first day the lean steak wrap (made of egg) for extra protein. The next day I ordered the chicken club egg wrap. Both sandwiches were delectable. No dry food and the staff is very friendly. The prices are very fair and I can say they are generous with filling these sandwiches. I was full for the whole day! The only thing I wish they had is the caloric count on their menu which I was told they were working on. It makes choices a bit harder when you don't know how many calories you're consuming. I hope we get that soon. I will definitely be going back there.
