Cafe Noponto — Restaurant in Newark

I visited this restaurant hoping to enjoy a traditional Brazilian breakfast. As a Brazilian, I’m familiar with the cuisine, but I don’t usually dine at Brazilian breakfast spots, so I struggled with the ordering process. Unfortunately, the staff seemed disorganized, and when I politely asked for specific items, I noticed eye-rolling and one employee even commented, “Today has already started off difficult.”

I asked for regular coffee but was served coffee with milk. When I mentioned this at the counter, I was told that their regular coffee comes with milk and that I should have ordered black coffee instead. The attitude was quite dismissive, and I felt embarrassed to raise the issue, especially since I was with others.

Throughout, I remained polite and respectful, but the service left much to be desired. I would not recommend this place based on...

Stopped by after a long flight, being Portuguese I thought the name was nice! Inside was kind of blah and somewhat messy. The lady at the register was not nice, kinda of pushy while I was taking my order. I asked about the pastries they had and she made me feel that I should already know their menu. So I didn’t buy pastries. I had ordered 2 lattes and only paid for them because the barista had already started them and I felt bad walking out. Not WORTH your time. I can’t stand people that don’t appreciate a customer walking in, specially during a pandemic. Coffee was extremely hot and extra sweet! We did not drink it. ...

Used to be a great bakery called Casa do Pao de Queijo for many years, called there this morning to order ahead because i was short on time, the order would total 2$ and change but the lady refused to take the order due to the fact that i had to pay ahead on the card which made no sense to me because so many places in the area take full orders to be paid cash. But that was ok if it wasnt for the lady hanging up on me and the other lady in the bakery giving me such a big attitude when i got there! Great way to start...
