Walking distance from Grand Avenue sits a cafe full of exotic flavors, friendly characters and reasonably priced snacks and lunches, all in a restaurant smaller than your average living room. What Cafe Di Casa lacks in size, however, it makes up for in its unique menu and helpful staff. With authentic Brazilian offerings like beef stew with yucca and loads of meat-filled pastries, it's no wonder the tiny restaurant is usually packed. Stop in for some breakfast pastries, like their famed cheese bread, and be sure to grab a cup of coffee, which they brew fresh one cup at a time. For lunch, the cafe serves daily specials and a selection of meat dishes that come with rice and beans. If the contents of a dish are unclear, one of the staff or patrons sitting at the counter (many of whom are Brazilian) will likely step in and help decipher the menu.

For a chill spot to refresh and relax, cruise on over to Samba Rock—bicycle parking is free inside the cafe. Designed like the favelas (shanty towns) in Brazil, the café has an ambiance that exhibits Brazilian culture through its delectable menu. Samba Rock specializes in the Amazonian super-fruit: açai. All menu items are original recipes of the owner and include açai bowls and smoothies. Samba Rock also provides coffee, espresso drinks and even cold yerba maté blends. On Sundays, customers can witness an element of true Brazilian culture with a demonstration of Capoeira Angola.
