Cafe Brasil
1410 Mission St, Santa Cruz, CA
Crema's Take
“Café Brasil nails the Brazilian aesthetic with vibrant murals and a genuinely transportive atmosphere, though the service can be inconsistent—some visitors rave about açaí bowls and specialty drinks while others hit frustrating waitlist delays despite empty tables. The dog-friendly patio and family-friendly vibe make it a solid casual spot for a leisurely breakfast or smoothie, as long as you go in with flexible expectations about wait times and food quality that can be hit-or-miss.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Wow! Absolutely delicioso!! We had the Açaí bowl(best one EVER, according to a 9yr old), Beef a Cavalo and the Orfeu Negro. Fresh, tasty and filling. Dog friendly patio. 10/10 would recommend! Don’t sleep on the house made hot sauce! 💥🔥🥵
We went here Saturday for lunch and we waited less than ten minutes. We were going to Seymour Marine Center, so when we pass by here the place looked packed, so we decided to give it a try if the wait wasn't long. When we sat down, our drink order was taken right away. I got the…
