"Stopped by O Cafe and had their Pão de Queijo — a savory, cheesy Brazilian bun with a crispy outside and chewy inside. Super satisfying! I just wish it had been warmed up a bit before serving to really bring out the texture and flavor. Also enjoyed a nicely made cortado, and the staff was very friendly. The space has a lively, welcoming vibe, with a diverse food menu that makes it easy to want to come back. That said, it’s not ideal for remote working—a bit too crowded, and no Wi-Fi available, which may be a drawback for those looking to work or study here. I did notice a lot of people ordering chocolate cakes and other pastries, so I’ll definitely be back to give those a try next time!"

"Super homey place with yummy hearty food! Loved their chai. No wifi and defective outlets however so only somewhat WFH friendly:)"

"Disappointing. While the ambiance is nice, the staff messed up my order and doubted me when I expressed their error. My açai bowl was ice cold, hurting my teeth and impossible for me to eat. Regretting the 20% tip. Coffee was good, so maybe worth it for a to-go order."

"Warm, welcoming Brazilian café with superb coffee, unique drinks, and a standout menu of both sweet and savory options—don’t miss the year-round gingerbread. Beautiful space, great seating, and a relaxed, vibrant vibe that brings a refreshing Brazilian sensibility to Manhattan."

"If you’re a fan of unique flavors and great textures, don’t miss the Lemon Almond Polenta Cake at @ocafenyc . Its coarse yet satisfying texture, paired with a hint of refreshing lemon and a perfectly crisp, caramelized exterior, is absolutely delightful. The Pão de Queijo is a classic—though it’s best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for that ideal softness. Pair it with their Mocha Latte, which strikes the perfect balance with its rich chocolate flavor—neither too sweet nor too heavy. The café also has a stunning, plant-filled interior that’s ideal for relaxing or capturing beautiful photos. Can’t wait to return and try their light meals next time!"
