Kitanda Market - Coffee and Acai

Very friendly and quick service! Açaí bowls come in large portions! Comes in a plastic tub but I would say it’s study enough to be kept as a reusable container, which is nice. I got the Frutas, if you like an assortment of fruit/medley, would highly recommend this one! They give lots of sweet and fresh fruit, and the dry toppings are a nice balance/crunch! Got a flan as well, just the right amount of sweetness. Nice and smooth texture, with a good amount of sweet sugar syrup to go with it! I accidentally ordered a hot espresso using the self-order screen but I quickly went up to them and asked for an iced one which they were able to quickly change for me. Overall, very open well-lit store and low-key/chill atmosphere. Will be back to try some of their bakery items, frozen items, and take a

Best drip coffee! To be honest i did not expect it because it was in a thermos but it really was delicious! Also they had the coconut treats. I'll post pictures of it they were very yummy too.

Nice neighborhood cafe with some light food options and snacks! Also has a supermarket area where you can buy all sorta of Brazilian goods. The smoothies and coffee are great! Really loved the Acai smoothie I got. The lattes were also both very pleasant and not too bitter or over diluted with cream. The smoothie wasn’t overly sweet, which I loved. Thought the sandwiches were good, but I wasn’t a fan of the sour tasting meat pockets. I generally like them to be savory, but that could be a Brazilian thing. The bread though was very soft and fluffy. I really liked the chicken sandwich: the bread was very stretchy and there was a good amount of cheese with arugula. Sort of like a Costco chicken bake on steroids.

Really nice place! Friendly and helpful staff. Mini market has a bunch of Brazilian items (like Mate gourds and loose leaf!). The Spinach, Egg, and Cheese Kitanda Bread looked and smelled so good I ate it before taking a pic. The pão de queijo 'bun' was amazing. I've only been to the Alderwood location previously and wasn't too impressed, but this location changed my mind.

It was awesome. The "Pão de queijo" sandwich was just like what I remembered from a trip to Brazil a very long time ago, both in flavor and texture. The staff was very friendly and authentic. Highly recommended.
