"Been coming to Pitanga since the near beginning. It’s one of my favorite spots in the world, let alone Brooklyn. I can pick anything from the menu and know with confidence that the quality and care standards are as consistent as they were when they first opened. The service is great. Order at the register and your food is brought to your table. The ambiance is relaxed and casual. You can also bring your laptop to work at select tables. Now, the food: Wow! Simply my favorite pão de queijo ever! Grab the Brazilian breakfast. The açaí bowls are fantastic – the Peruvian is my go-to. Smoothies, too. And the sandwiches and salads… vegan and gluten-free options all around the menu. But try the vegan AND gluten-free banana nut bread: they tend to sell out, and rightfully so. A must-try if you’re in the neighborhood, imo. Consider this an exercise in self-care. Your taste buds and body will thank you afterward."
