Romeo & Juliet Brazilian Cafe

Description: A Brazilian café and snack bar in Charlotte serving coffee, Brazilian pastries, breakfast breads, savory snacks, sweets, smoothies, juices, tapioca wraps, sandwiches, burgers, and casual café meals. The menu includes Brazilian favorites such as pão de queijo, coxinha, pastel, risoles, ham and cheese melts, cakes, brigadeiro-style sweets, espresso drinks, and fresh drinks.

The space has a casual, colorful café feel with counter service, family-recipe cooking, Brazilian cultural details, Wi-Fi, and a menu that works for breakfast, lunch, dessert, coffee, takeout, or a relaxed sit-down visit. Good for trying Brazilian comfort food, grabbing coffee and pastries, meeting friends, casual meals, family visits, and exploring a locally rooted café with a strong Brazilian identity.

Comments: The menu has so much stuff on it I've never heard of, I had to ask for more time to choose twice during my first visit, there's tons to explore! Bright and airy aesthetic, yellow metal chairs and patterned black marble tables, plus a few comfier lounge style chairs along a wall. I wouldn't say it's cozy but it's clean and well designed. There's a ton of food options, but also coffee, tea, and a lot of pastries. Everything's authentic, the staff, the TV's showing news or sports in Portuguese, even the menu. Which makes sense, since it's owned by a Brazilian mother-daughter team.
