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

It smelled really good inside Tap. I ordered the Lean Steak Club Egg Wrap and cheese breads. The food was prepared fast and tasted really delicious. The presentation was great. The staff were friendly and informed me about happy hour specials. I was not hungry when I visited with my kids. I felt satisfied afterward, and my belly felt really comfortable. The monster Açaí bowl was delicious. It’s more economical to order a large bowl and share instead of two small ones in my opinion. The chicken club was tasty. The chicken egg wrap was amazing. It’s nice to have Tap in our neighborhood.<br><br>Updates: I’ve been going to Taps since they opened (a few years ago). Their items are always delicious, and Tap has THE BEST açaí bowls and pao de queijo compared to any other places I’ve tried.

I went to NYC for 4 day vacation and tried them on the first morning. LOVED their power up smoothie and pesto PDQ so much I went all three mornings after too. Genuinely the best smoothie I’ve ever had, and it paired well with their Pesto PDQ which was also very yummy. Highly recommend.

The lean steak sandwich was Sooooo good! Their lattes is also very good.

Their egg wrap has absolutely no business being this good. Everyone working there was also so incredibly nice… felt like nyc’s version of southern hospitality :))

This Brazilian café has a very interesting concept. All of their products are gluten-free, and their baked goods are made with tapioca.<br><br>The pão de queijo is delicious—they offer three flavors (traditional, spicy, and pesto). We ordered the traditional, and it was warm, cheesy, and absolutely tasty.<br><br>We also had a latte and an iced latte, both of which were excellent and clearly made with high-quality coffee.<br><br>My daughter ordered an organic baby açaí bowl with granola and strawberries. It was very refreshing, and the flavor combination was perfect.<br><br>We will definitely be back—there are so many other items we’d love to try, like smoothies, tapioca sandwiches, and more

I loved this place when it first opened— good quality, tasty food and smoothies. Prices were always high, but I didn’t mind when I felt like I was getting something for my money.<br><br>Starting last year (or maybe earlier), they began to add more ice to their smoothies and use less fruit. AND they bumped up the prices.<br><br>I know the Zenergy smoothie well, and I can’t even drink it anymore. There is so much ice that my head hurts even when I sip it slowly. Can barely taste the fruit.<br><br>Just today I got a prosciutto & mozzarella sandwich. I kid you not that there were only two to three small pieces of prosciutto (not large pieces like you get in stores or other restaurants) on the sandwich and a thin layer of mozzarella. The pão de queijo completely overwhelmed the meat and cheese.<br><br>The sandwich is nothing like what they show on their website. Not even worth $10, let alone the $14 they are charging.<br><br>My son has celiac, so I will let him continue to eat here, but I’m done with being ripped off like this. I can get a large prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich on focaccia at Rosetta for $10 or just make it at home.

This place is AMAZING! The cheese bread chicken club Omg. I have celiac disease and this place is 100% gluten free!

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

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!!

Amazing Brazilian Café — Must Visit!<br><br>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.<br><br>Camilla and Amanda are absolute stars, warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. Their service genuinely made my day.<br><br>The pão de queijo was incredible, and the tapioca bacon, egg & cheese is to die for. Everything is gluten-free and super fresh.<br><br>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. 🙌🌿

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.<br>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.<br>Will definitely try again when I get the chance.

A cafe with a warm, homemade feeling that everything is made with care.<br><br>The Brazilian cheese bread is Incredible - freshly made, with a perfectly crispy outer layer and a soft, pillowy interior of light & fluffy dough, mixed with the satisfying chewiness of the cheese.<br><br>The acai bowl was also very good - solid portion size, the acai was not too diluted, and with a good proportion of the layered protein powder & peanut butter.<br><br>Service is friendly and unpretentious, very casual and welcoming. Lots of seating inside as well.<br><br>Very highly recommend! :)

This exceeded our expectations, which were already high based on the reviews. I had the spicy tuna and my daughter had the breakfast sandwich, accompanied by oat lattes and gf chocolate cookies. Absolutely delicious!! And it was such a treat to be able to order anything safely, since everything is gluten free!

I had no idea that tapioca could be so good! They sell many specialty Brazilian items with tapioca flatbread and more. I had the Lean Steak Club in the tapioca flatbread and a traditional Brazilian cheese bread. It was really delicious and it was the perfect brunch to start my day. The employees are also really nice and I love the art inside. I highly recommend this place!

We ordered the six-pack of the cheese bread for $17, selecting two of each variety (regular, spicy, pesto). The tapioca sandwiches were really satisfying. As someone with celiac, the freedom of the gluten-free menu was amazing. We’ll be coming back.
