Brazilia Cafe

NoHo is a neighborhood with a high concentration of high quality espresso: in a few blocks radius the choices include Think Coffee, La Colombe, UR Cup and Gasoline Alley. The espresso density and quality further increased with the recent opening of Brazilia Cafe.

The professional service and great presentation are a prelude to a gentle espresso that pleases your taste buds without hitting them with excessive bitterness. Acidity is absent, leaving room for the full enjoyment of South American coffee.

The small chocolate donut was complimentary and much appreciated.

O'Cafe

Brazilian coffee is the king at O Cafe. The espresso is strong and dense, with a nutty flavor and a hint of licorice. Acidity is pleasantly absent from the first to the last sip.

The reclaimed furniture creates an informal and warm atmosphere that invites you to sit and relax while enjoying your coffee.

Another good place at Chelsea, for both a coffee and a light meal. Talking about food:  sandwiches and baked food are excellent and deserve a separate review.
