TAP Brazilian Café – 100% Gluten-Free | Tapioca Sandwiches & Açaí | Upper West Side – NYC

OMG I am so glad I stumbled on this place while exploring the Upper West Side. Colorful and fun, healthy and delicious. They have so many options and all gluten free! Their coffee was wonderful and the staff was kind and awesome. I loved all the beautiful murals and overall esthetic of TAP. Def a NY gem and highly recommend! I had the lean steak club Panini at their recommendation and it was incredible with fresh pesto and arugula. Very authentic and unique, will certainly be back! They also have a really adorable patio in a prime location. Must go!!

As soon as you walk in, the vibrant Brazilian vibe encompasses you, from the "green wall" to the tropical murals with parrots, from the sunset orange La Marzocco espresso machine, to the wooden bench seating, and white marble tables. Tropical "plants" strategically placed throughout the store add to the sunny and invitingly warm welcome from the staff - Brazil is here! Speaking of staff, they were all smiles and friendly, particularly the guy at the register. He was helpful about answering questions I had about the menu, and helped me decide on what to order. I decided on the Beet & Beauty Glow protein smoothie, a surprisingly light and not very sweet smoothie of beets, strawberries, bananas, almond milk, dates and collagen protein. The dates add just the right amount of sweetness balanc

Easy to find off of busy 3rd Ave. Comfortable space. Ordered: lean steak and chicken tapioca sandwiches, açaí bowl, OJ with ginger, drip coffee. Came at HH which means buy 2 pão de queijo and 3rd one free. So I tried one of each: regular, jalapeño, and pesto. Also going to try the Cupuaçu bar. Food is excellent. Tapioca "breading" was soft, some edges crunchy like a toasted bread. Flavor's amazing, on point. Pão was excellent texture. I liked the pesto most. The açaí was the best. Smooth, true açai taste (assuming with guaraná). The granola was another highlight. Will definitely try again when I get the chance.

Amazing Brazilian Café — Must Visit! I run the Christmas tree stand in front of the CVS, and I stopped by TAP the Brazilian café recently, I was blown away. The whole place has such a beautiful vibe, and the staff make you feel right at home. Camilla and Amanda are absolute stars, warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. Their service genuinely made my day. The pão de queijo was incredible, and the tapioca bacon, egg & cheese is to die for. Everything is gluten-free and super fresh. If you’re looking for authentic Brazilian flavors, great coffee, and a cozy atmosphere, this spot is a must-go. I’ll definitely be back. 🙌🌿

Got the egg wrap w turkey bacon egg and cheese and OMG was sooo good!!! Egg wrap was cheesy and great texture, I’m still dreaming about it now. Friends tried tapioca and wasn’t as good but decent
