Pitanga - Brooklyn, New York

Justin R.

Excellent brunch at this popular, healthy-but-yummy hipster oasis. Kind service throughout from all. Tasty veggie burger and salad. Fine bar and atmosphere. Great cafe attached off dining area. Welcoming vibes for all. A case study for observing a Bushwick class in its own inhabit. Latin infused flavors. Bright natural light. Great drink options. Outside seating if the weather agrees.

I think we found our new favorite brunch restaurant in NYC. Such a delicious, clean meal with super fresh ingredients. We loved the restaurant space, perfect for a brunch or dinner date.

Everything was made to order, easy to see why this was recommended by RESY under their “Best of Brunch” and Best of Brooklyn” lists.

We absolutely loved:

🥥 Coconut Love Smoothie
🥚 Poached Eggs on Toast
🍗 Chicken Sandwich and toasted focaccia
🍌 French toast with caramelized banana
🫘 Breakfast Burrito

I have been wanting to go here several times cause it looks beautiful from outside and pretty busy, but honestly the food experience was mediocre and even lame.
When you go to a place and you order “the house breakfast” you expect to get the best of the house. I ordered the “Brazilian Breakfast” (I’ve been to Brazil more than ten times), well the Brazilian breakfast at Pitanga is a tiny metal pan, with a base of 6 spoons of a tasteless beans, that seems to have been taken straight from the can, some chopped tomatoes and onion of top (two spoons) a couple pieces of avocado floating there And with 1 single baked (dry) egg on top. A side of a (half piece!) of cheese bread comes on the side to make this a little sadder.
We also make order a side of Yuca fries (that was not real yuca but a processed paste of yuca - McDonald’s quality )
The service and the space were good overall. They just need to improve the level of the food that was VERY far from being Brazilian or even standard quality at least.

Delicious ! The food is always well presented &’ fresh. Organic, healthy, tasty, and filling. I haven’t tried dining here for dinner yet; however, the breakfast / brunch here is phenomenal ! I highly recommend, you won’t regret it !

I ordered a smoothie and it was full of banana and ice chunks. I could barely get it out of the straw and the texture was gross. I kept trying to drink it to see if I could get over it but it was too chunky for me so I asked if they could re blend it or make me a new one that was blended properly. They told me they couldn’t because I had already drank a ‘bunch’ of it… look at this photo and tell me this is a bunch. If you order a smoothie here make sure you specify you would like it blended well! Super annoying.

I don’t often opt for vegan fair mostly because I never tend to feel satisfied after a meal so it took me awhile to give Pitanga a try. Eventually though you run out of new breakfast spots and one must succumb to Pitanga. Overall this space is very large and welcoming for what is common in the area and I was very impressed with the layout of both the cafe and restaurant. The service was good and attentive and everyone seemed to be enjoying the space allotted by restaurant. As a carnivore you won’t find much you’ll to get excited about on the menu but I’m sure you can find something to get outside of your norm. Overall the food was pretty good I do think the portion sizes were a bit small for the price though.

Pitanga offers a superb dining experience. The classic cocktails are amazing. Caprinhas are a must. Frieda took amazing care of us and each suggestion she made was better than the last. With amazing food, atmosphere, and service it’s hard to say what was the best element of our experience.10 out of 10 must try. Will be back.

We had the opportunity to grab late brunch here and were pleasantly surprised with our entire experience. We hadn't made a reservation but were able to be seated immediately. We looked over the menu and decided to share an order of yuca fries which I had never had before. These are some extremely tasty fried fries that are served with a delicious dipping sauce. I decided to go with the breakfast burrito for my main dish and was also decently filled up given that this was a very well filled burrito. The space itself is very modern and sleek - giving off the vibes of an art gallery that was transformed into a restaurant. They also have a cafe space adjacent to the restaurant as well. A great place to visit for brunch with friends.
