If you want to know what Brazilians eat every morning or if you are Brazilian and miss your daily breakfast, order the "Pingado": sliced French bread w/ butter served w/ coffee & warm milk. Saudades..

Got to get here early or expect to wait at least 45 min on the weekends... 20 on weekdays. The parking lot fits 5 cars only so make sure to wear walking shoes bc parking on the street is limited.

Fantastic cavalos. Try the avocado cavalo for a light breakfast. Acai bowl is always great as are all the smoothies. Parking lot is small and has a very small single lane driveway.

Avocado a cavalo with TOFU! You get some melted cheese AND zucchini that is marinated in the same deliciousness as the tofu. Add an acai smoothie and you're in nutrients heaven.

They are now open until 5pm everyday. Call ahead to pick up your order and eat it somewhere else to avoid the line-up! You never have to wait to get an acai smoothie or bowl though.

Had the beef a cavalier, was delicious. I recommend this dish. The bacon is also great. Awesome breakfast spot. Parking in the back.

Great service, everyone here works their butts off. Had the Greek scramble and Acai Smoothie. Both very solid.

Great choice for breakfast. Authentic Brasilian dishes and parking in the rear.

"Fish Polenta" was average but unique .. Found the restaurant a little bit overrated .. It seems that rates are based on breakfast ..

Best breakfast in SC. Everything is good. For subtle deliciousness get the vanana smoothie -- it's killer.

Delicious banana pancakes!
Courtney McIntyreFebruary 6, 2010
Go to Cafe Brasil. Get an Acai bowl (Jr.) and an Orfeu Negru. Trust me. It's worth the effort. And the wait.
Kara McCainFebruary 21, 2010
The Gallo Pinto is just like breakfast in Costa Rica. Must try, it's awesome!

You must try the açai berry bowl!

I was so excited about this place until I found an insect leg, possibly cockroach, in my food. I reported it and they tried to convince me that it was "an onion" instead.
Erik DigbyMay 17, 2012

Chris WatersAugust 26, 2011
the watermelon juice is to DIE for
Emmalouise BrownJuly 28, 2014
Acai Bowl is the only good thing going for this place. All breakfast items were under seasoned and had no flavor. Over hyped.
