Gluten-free never looked this good
One of the things we hear most often at Café Patoro:
"Wait... that's gluten-free too?"
Our sandwiches, Brazilian tapioca crepes, guava cornbread, brigadeiro truffles, and of course our signature cheese bread are all naturally gluten-free.
No separate menu.
No compromises.
Just really good food!
Save this for your next gluten-free craving or send it to someone who's always looking for gluten-free spots in NYC.

POV: You stopped stressing about the food.
Pão de queijo, sandwiches, something sweet, coffee, all of it, taken care of.
Graduations. Baby showers. Office mornings.
We cater and deliver. And yes, it looks as good as it tastes!

Hot, cheesy pão de queijo made fresh throughout the day in NYC.
There’s a reason people say it’s the best pão de queijo in NYC.
We don’t overcomplicate it.
Great ingredients.
Real cheese.
Nothing extra that doesn’t belong.
Just a Brazilian classic, baked fresh every morning and afternoon right here at Café Patoro.
Golden and crisp on the outside. Soft, stretchy, cheesy on the inside.
If you haven’t tried our pão de queijo yet… this is your sign.
