The first place we went upon our arrival in Santa Cruz was Café Brasil. Some family friends had recommended it to us in the past, but we had never been able to make it here. We ended up waiting 30 minutes for our table, but we used that time to figure out what we planned on ordering so it was worthwhile. Finally, we were right in the middle of this brightly colored dining area. The place was absolutely filled to the brim with people and servers and cooks sliding their way in and out between tables, yet the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.
I had the potato scramble with sautéed mushrooms, tomatos, green onions and mozzerrella cheese all baked into a little bowl of heaven. It was fantastic.
We all had the Junior Açai Bowl with açai smoothie, strawberries,banana, apple juice and guarana syrup. Served in a bowl, topped w/ granola, strawberries and banana. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful, and the entire experience was so fresh and unique. Café Brasil prides itself on being eco-friendly from its to-go boxes to the little signs on the table informing us that water would only be provided upon request.
When we left, we noticed that we were quite full, but not uncomfortably so. That’s when I realized what a significant difference it makes eating food that is healthy and high quality for your body.
We left the restaurant happy, full, and ready for our next adventure.
