Tapioca is a comfort food for me. I am Brazilian and I come here often. I always Oder the same thing. Sometimes I love and sometimes I don’t. There is no consistency. I believe is due to the high employee turnover. My advise to the Tap is to be more consistent on quality. Also, every time I bring a friend I feel bad because they don’t allow clients to use the bathroom. I am stubborn and I keep coming. But I’m never sure whether it will be great or not. I have hopes.
Loved the steak sandwich. Tasted very fresh. The tapioca wrap stays super crispy compared to a regular bread bun. Nice environment to enjoy breakfast or lunch
Today was my 1st time coming to this venue, the hospitality was excellent. The customer service was top notch too. The cafa was clean. Highly Recommended this Brazilian cafe, the food was was exceptional good.
Ordered Pesto and Cheese Cheesy bread with Iced Black Coffee. Cheesy bread was SO good, highly recommend!
Its all gluten-free, which is very cool. I had a vegan sandwich. However, I was not happy with the price/quality ratio. The sandwich was small, the dough was hard and tasteless. It was not worth my money...Nevertheless its nice, that everything is gluten-free without any contamination!
The best gluten free tapioca and egg wraps - everything was 100% gluten free and delicious! Would recommend
Amazing! I ordered a caprese egg wrap and it was great to say the least. Staff was really friendly and the place looked impeccable. Not only low carb and gluten free... It was Delicious too!
Delicious gluten free avo and egg wrap and great coffee! 10/10
The food is so delicious! A great pit stop for small bites or quick pick-me-up snack. They also have a ton of options for a full-fledged meal. The staff is lovely and so helpful!
SO YUMMY! The cheese bread 10/10 , the cookies 11/10 if that’s possible. Staff was super sweet, kind and helpful. Great music and positive ✨vibes✨
Perfect spot to grab breakfast or lunch. My first time trying tapioca crepes, and they were surprisingly delicious. I ordered a savory Avo & Egg and my friend had a sweet Nutella crepe and we both loved them. If youve never tried one before, this Brazilian café is a must visit! Space was ambient, but with the need for social distance, very limited.
I LOVE that the menu is gluten-free and safe for celiacs. I tried the organic chicken club sandwich and the chocolate cookie and it was all delicious! Thanks TAP NYC
I believe the food they make is completely gluten free, however several of the desserts are from the Brazilian bakery, Brigadeiro Bakery. This bakery, delicious as it may be, is not a gluten free facility so not safe for coeliacs, and definitely not two of the selections they had at the restaurant. Some of the desserts, (not from Brigadeiro) that appear to have been made in-house, were GF so just be careful or stay away from desserts.
I frequent the one on Columbus Avenue. Best acai bowl I have ever had. Also their tapioca crepes are unreal. I give this place a 10.
A wonderful experience coming here. The tapioca crepes are brilliant and diverse in flavour. It is excitement for the eyes and tastebuds. Service is superb – all staff are warm and helpful. Coffee is prepared perfectly (and they have oatmilk!). Pastries are delicious and all gluten-free. Same goes for the entire menu. Not your typical Brazilian or health food restaurant - give them a try 😋
Got a wrap and a smoothie. Both were amazing. Most of their solid items are very dairy-laden so be aware of that. Pretty pricey, but was all high quality.
Exceptional experience. Great ambient, food was delicious and very kind people.The steak tapioca sandwich was one of the best things I ever ate.
Brazilian cafe!Food 5/5I came for coffee but I think it specializes in Brazilian cheese bread. Looks amazing and lots of people came just for it. Will come to try some other timeService 5/5Super friendly and helpful. Everyone was wearing mask and sanitizing the tables everytime someone leaveAmbiance 5/5Very well spaced. Indoor and outdoor dining available. I was sitting inside right in the middle of the store and it felt very spacious and safe
Tap is the nicest coffee shop in the upper west side. They sell Brazilian treats and specialty food, the original cheese bread they bake is better then anything you can find even in Brazil. Also on the menu are the gluten free and delicious tapioca crepes, savory and sweet options, and now even better with the wrapioca a wrap with gluten free tapioca flour and eggs on the very thin and deliciously light doe. Im addicted to those cheese breads!
This place tasted great with unique naturally gluten free tapioca but also delicious for everyone else too! Thanks for the friendly professional service!
Love that it’s 100% gluten free nothing to worry about for celiacs. Food is good, great options just a little bit pricey. Quick and easy lunch spot
The matcha latte tasted above average but its microfoam could be improved. The latter could be an issue of consistency: our cup had a level 3 microfoam (large visible bubbles) while another customer had one with velvety smooth level 1 microfoam with no visible bubbles.The crepes are tasty overall. However, none of us like the taste of the topioca wrap. While tapioca may help with gluten intolerance, the sales pitch that it is a healthy energy boost is debatable. Tapioca is essentially pure carbohydrate and is definitely not ideal for maintenance of weight or blood sugar levels.Everyone at our table enjoyed the tomato soup. Nevertheless, we are unsure if the soup is made fresh as we saw the staff refilling the soup pot with a carton.
Refuse access to the restroom to 2yo. Incredible zero empathy with child in need. Employees in this place deserve heavily training and basic education. FYI review Restroom Access Act.
Obsessed with this place! Everything on the menu is delicious! Favorites are Monster bowl, PB Natural, Organic Chicken Club and the pão de queijo!! Friendly staff!
Best açaí bowl at about $12-15 I think - the granola is perfect and the fruit were very fresh and tasty. The cheese bread was awesome (must try) - the tapiocas were very good too - I always have the “anytime” which is simple but very good - overall a great spot for a brunch or if you want something healthy for lunch or a coffee time.The picnic box is highly recommended if you are going to Central Park around the area...
Interesting place. I’m actually trying out a paleo diet, so I walked in because of their Tapioca crepes. I also ended up trying their yucca sticks, which are like fries. This stuff was great. I had the carnitas. They add a ton of pork. The yucca fries were actually good. Even if I was not on this paleo diet, I would have enjoyed it. It was different and good. Oh, and their coffee is good too. It’s from Irving farms.Space - small place. Most tables are for two people but you can fit 4 on some.Prices - somewhat reasonable.Service - staff was friendly.Food - see above. I liked it. Warning, it’s different.Families - tough to fit a large family and I don’t see my kids loving this food. But it’s up to you!Caution: No bathrooms!
The best pão de queijo in New York! Better than most I had in Brazil, really. Their açaí and tapioca are also absolutely amazing. If you want a taste of Brazilian snacks, this is the place!
Delicious Brazilian bread. nice, quaint cafe on the east side. Food is decently priced and completely gluten free.
Tap NYC is a great place to get gluten free food. They have amazing food and the staff is amazing. I would definitely recommend coming here for great food.
When I lived in NYC this was one of the places I regularly got cravings for. This is so good. And healthy! 🤩 I almost always had the salmon crepe but all of the ones I tried were delicious. Don’t miss out on this place. The only think I didn’t like was the loud music so I didn’t really enjoy sitting inside there. But the food is worth it 👌
I have Celiac disease, so having a gluten free restaurant like TAP close to home is a dream come true. Since theyve opened, they have continued to have great food and great service!
Delicious! Their hot chocolate is the bomb!!! Their Brazilian cheese rolls are incredible. ❤️🥰🤗
Visiting with my celiac daughter and this place was such a wonderful place to have close by....good service, great food amd clean !
The food here was really good and coming from a person with celiac this was a perfect place just to come and grab some food.
Gluten free food. Unique, interesting crepes and small baked items. Good food and good service. Small place with limited seating available.
Only had coffee and pastries. Cappuccino was excellent! Coxinha was pretty good, pao de queijo a little dense but still giving a 5 because coffee was so good!
The no. 1 completely Gluten-free delicious breakfast place in New York! There tapioca based cheese bread and crepes are 😋😋😋 highly recommended for celiacs and non-celiacs alike!
Great service, delicious food. It can be so hard to find a satiating meal while traveling with Celiac. 5/5!!!
One of the best brazilian cheese bread I have ever ate. Tapioca sandwich is delicious too.
LOVE TAP! So excited for an easy alternative to gluten! Their cheese breads are to die for! I ordered the salmon sandwich, it was so good. The vegan cream cheese was a good flavor but strange consistency when it was heated. Couldnt really understand putting vegan cream cheese with smoked salmon lox slices, but it was yummy!
I was so disappointed with this place. I got one of the wraps and I don’t know how it tastes in the restaurant but by the time I got home, about 15 minutes after buying it, the wrap was rockhard and scraped the top of my mouth in a painful way so I had to just eat the fillings out of it and throw away the wrap. I have to say that the tapioca cheese puff that I got was really good. I was really disappointed with the main course and it was basically a waste of money as mostly it was inedible.
Good place for a gluten-free brunch!The wrapioca is a must try, flavorful, unique, only lacking in quantity. Service was quick, ambience is good.
Great service and really good quality of tapioca! The cheese bread is amazing!! 10/10 would recommend!
Amazing! Had to duck in somewhere from the rain and just happened to be walking past. Warm chocolate chip cookie and a black coffee on the UWS during a hail storm? Heaven
What a great experience. Tapioca and Acai are better than Brazil. I’m gonna be back soon.
I am Brazilian and I just loved the place!! I had mushroom and goat cheese tapioca and the cheese bread!! Totally recommend it!!!
I am completely obsessed with this place. Everything here is delicious! Highly recommended!
My Brazilian friend brought me here, and it was delicious! Highly recommend the spicy tuna tapioca sandwich :)
I have 2 family members who are gluten free and 2 who are not... And we all found TAP NYC to be incredible. The cheese bread was an awesome appetizer and I highly recommend the Lox and Cream Cheese. Next time Id get the Wrapioca instead of the crepe but it was all good.
I love their pao de queijo, we go to Brooklyn for it sometimes. Now I know where to find it in nyc. The uws location has frozen pao de queijo and if you’ve never tried Brazilian food and/or your gluten free you must try this place. This is the mushroom crepe (made from gluten free tapioca flour)
Love that everything is gluten free! Mushroom & goat cheese sandwich was amazing! 10/10 🔥✨
Your service was excellent just like your acai bowl
Very tasty chicken sandwich
This is soooooo good ! Your tummy will thank you for eating HEALTHY 😍
Good for quick bites when you crave falafel sandwich. Falafel was decent and vegetables were fresh for $6.
Cool place (modern and clean design) but food is too expensive and tapioca dough was not properly hydrated making it to dry and crumble. Was tasty for what you pay I expexted top noch! Service wasnt great either.
I love the food, and the fact that it’s delicious and gluten-free makes me over the moon happy.
Great service, very friendly staff and food was amazing. Highly recommend cheese bread!!! :)
Recently Tap NYC quietly changed the sizes of their acai bowls to be SIGNIFICANTLY smaller while still charging the same prices. Comparing what you get to what is on their menu display, you can easily tell youre being ripped off. The largest monster bowl is now in the cup that their smaller bowls were in, while the 2 smaller ones were made EVEN smaller. I was assured it was the same, which is blatantly wrong, but even if they were the same volume, the amount of fruit and other toppings you get are way less than what was given about a month ago. On top of that, the staff always seems disorganized and more often than not youll need to remind them that you havent gotten parts of your order that they simply forgot about.
Best place to have a trully brazilian breakfast!!
Delicious food and wonderful service! One of my favorite spots on the UWS.
Soooo delicious! Great food and a sharp looking decor with friendly and helpful staff.
First time trying a tapioca crepe! Different but delicious and excellent customer service (:
Cozy and cheerful, If you are nearby Manhattan, it’s the place to be for a lunch or a pause for a nice cup of cold Matcha. A warm welcome, fresh ingredients and delicious combinations of tapioca. Definitely, it deserves a visit!
Was really excited to try this place as I’ve missed crepes since going gluten free…but these definitely are not typical crepes and do not fill the void. It was interesting to try something new but is overpriced and very meh. Same with açaí bowl, one of my least favorite I’ve tried before
Very good! Service is super fast, they staff is friendly and very clean establishment. I had the mini acai bowl $8 small but soo delicious!
So delicious! The tapioca “wraps” are excellent, and they have Brazilian tapioca cheese bread and sweet treats as well. Delicious and very reasonable prices. I wish they had a bathroom - food establishments should be required to have restrooms.
The tapioca crust is crispy and filling. Satisfying and delicious.
Had the goats cheese and mushroom wrap- great brunch item & very filling meal. It was delicious and the kind of gluten free food that is just plain good for its own sake, not a sad imitation of something it can’t be. I loved the chewy/crispy texture of the wrap. Will definitely come back to try other things.
Tap NYC is one of the best if not the best cafe in the UWS, not only serving coffee, espresso drinks and the usual but also the best Açaí & best sandwiches ever & also the whole store is Gluten free!!!
The best tapioca!! Incredible açai in the middle of NYC, better then Brasil!!!
Everything is gluten free so really great as a quick lunch spot!
I found the menu to be very unique and full of variety. You want sweets? They have it. You want savory? Oh yes they have that too. I loved their acai bowl with nutella and their salmon biscuits. Drool. The salmon biscuits were also so well priced, I thought they made a mistake at first lol.
Loved feeling taste of Brazil in the heart of NYC! Good quality food!
Love that TAP is gluten free! The classic sandwich is delicious.
Healthy and tasty dishes from Brazil. I recommend this place!
I’m addicted- spinach feta egg wrap is my go too! If I’m greedy, I’ll add steak. It never fails and the service is great too!
Such a cute cafe!!! It smelt like heaven and I look forward to coming back!
Comfortable place and authentic Brazilian food! Great experience!
Amazing place for gluten-free meals, treats and snacks.
Good coffee and excellent Brazilian cheese bread. If you have to eat gluten free, this is your place! The sweet treats are also good (a little sugary, as usually are gluten free treats in general, even though theres really no need for that much sugar). Recommended!
Great food. Amazing staff.Cheese bread is to die for.
Really tasty tapioca and the best açaí I had in Nyc.
Sat around waiting a long time for my food. When I ask why, they said it would r ready momentarily. 15m later they admitted they’d just forgotten it. Very disorganized and slow service
Great gluten free and vegan options. Cheese bread is a must!
Delicious and authentic Brazilian food! Muito gostoso! :)
Best cheesebread, tapioca and açaí you will ever taste!!
I order from here frequently but was very disappointed on my recent order of 2 items through Uber Eats.. The organic chicken crepe was missing the tomato and the açaí bowl was missing the strawberries. I took the time to go back to the store and while the manager (?) apologized she then said “these things happen” and I should just accept that. No offer of credit or a real apology. Really- you run out of ingredients that are in the dish and makes it taste the way it’s supposed to and your response is “it happens”!
Delicious and authentic tapioca helped with my Brazilian food nostalgia!
Best gluten-free place! Just had a lunch and their açaí is so yummy! definitely gonna comeback 😋
The pao de queijo is divine. Definitely worth trying
Great customer service! Food looks yummy! Nice music!
The tapioca “crepes” are better than most in Brazil, and they have the best açaí this side of the equator! Grab a PDQ (pão de queijo) and a bag of frozen to take home. This is a great place to pick up food for a picnic in Central Park.
Love the food but they will not accept cash payments- this is illegal in NYC. I will update my review when they start taking cash again.
Awesome experience. Best açai in town! Tapioca crepes very good too.
Loved the zenergy smoothie ! Refreshing and full of flavor.
This place was so cool! Ive never tried tapioca crepes before, but theyre quite good. The size and way that theyre made at TAP make them sort of like a taco, and you eat it similarly to one.They also had guarana soda, which is delicious.
One of my favorite places in the neighborhood to come for a quick bite and a coffee
Healthy. Quick. Friendly. Delicious!
Employees are professional and Cheese bread and Açaí is amazing!
Amazing amazing amazing tapioca! For those who had never tried it before and for all the Brazilian who miss this wonderful typical food from Brazil, it is really really worth the visit! Not only do they have all types of tapioca (I had the avocado with egg on top with a salad on the side) , but they also have Açaí, which I love and the decor and staff are really nice and welcoming! I am definitely going back there again when I visit NYC!
This is a hidden gem. The tapioca crepe was surprising delicious. The cheese on it was a nice touch. I had the steak crepe which was perfectly cooked, and the texture went really well with the crepe. Definitely recommend
I love TAP!! The best tapioca crepes and pão de queijo sandwiches in NYC! Glad we moved a couple blocks away and are able to come all the time 😍Service is impeccable and place is very clean and organized. Kitchen is quick and everything is so fresh and delicious!Thank you guys
They serve tasty tapioca very well done made with good ingredients. If you’ve never tried tapioca before that can be something different and quite an acquired taste. It’s gluten free, crunchy and soft at the same time and a good alternative to bread or tortillas.I find it quite expensive considering that in Brazil tapioca is a street food, simple and cheap. One might not be very fulfilling, so you probably will wanna get 2 of those and that can be a bit expensive.Love the fact that they are offering Brigadeiro Bakery goods now!
One of the best place that i could rely on fast service of food and drinks that would fill in your taste buds. Yohan was so cute and so friendly.
Ordered here for a while and typically really great food. They forgot to put goat cheese on both orders however and the salmon today tasted vastly different (worse) than in the past.Dropped the ball today pretty hard but willing to order again.*Edit. Ty for the response. I understand and look forward to ordering again!
I got the acai bowl which was way too sweet and heavily priced. The sandwiches that other patrons had looked like the way to go.
Staff was great, beverages in the front were warm and my warm sandwich was slightly cold on the inside. Definitely one of the few Brazilian places in the city which offer an array of cultural dishes. Sort of a let down for my wife who is from Brazil and was slightly underwhelmed. Might go back for another try 🤷🏽♂️
My friend brought me there to try the tapioca sandwiches. Incredible tapioca crepes make perfect low carb, low calorie sandwiches. Fresh ingredients and fabulous service. Great coffee as well. Love it!
Love this place, plenty of gluten free options!
The açaí bowl Was amazing
Worst sandwich I’ve ever had . $14!!!!!!
Whoever is in charge of making the tapioca wraps is not going a great job at the Columbus UWS location; the tapioca balls are just falling apart everywhere and it looked nothing like the images posted online. I would reconsider getting this wrap
Great new spot! Had a great evening there with my friends. The decor was spellbinding. The staff was up to par with a Five Star restaurant (always smelling in your direction). By the time I tried one of their brazilian Tapiocas (GLUTEN FREE), specifically the Vegan, I never wanted to leave. Great location.
Absolutely Loved it! The food is delicious, and so healthy. I think I am their number one Tapioca Fan!! Their Brazilian coffee is the real deal, cant even begin to describe the cheese bread (which I learned is gluten free!) and brigadeiros... to die for.
I havent seen a restaurant with 4.9* rating before with 50+ reviews so high hopes - but this place is completely average. Its a coffee shop essentially that sells tapioca sandwiches that cost $10. Ive never had one before but theyre basically white tasteless cardboard (that looks like polystyrene). We had one with cheese and tomato which was literally just a slab of cheese with 4 slices of tomato. For $10.I wonder if the reviews below are real with so many people only have 1 review, all left 4 months ago and saying similar things!
This was my first time trying tapioca anything. I liked it, and I love that the entire menu us gluten free. I tried parma tapioca wrap. Would return to try more.
Food is always great. But would always take to go.Not good seating and music is always far too loud to sit inside and enjoy your food.
Best cheese bread in the town and best Brazilian breakfast 🥰🥰🥰
For the first time since my diagnosis, I could walk in some place and eat literally anything I want- the whole joint is gluten free. The bread is super cheesy and yummy. I had a pulled steak sandwich and it was to die for. If I lived closer I would be back often. Until next time....
Very tasty!!! Dedicated gluten-free facility.
Best açaí I have ever had in America.
The tapioca was good with some items but a little weird with others. Good idea for GF, but I think it could be improved somehow.
Absolutely delicious food and lots of great healthy options; would have given it five stars, except they don’t let customers use the restroom! Upon inquiry, I was told that the State deemed it wasn’t up to code and they had to either re-do it or lessen the number of tables. Personally, I would have gone with redoing the bathroom for customer’s convenience (and frankly, necessity—after drinking all that coffee!!).
The cheese bread and açaí bowls bowls are great!
Very nice spot!! I loved the cappuccino with latte art, served with a little carrot cake on the side! Besides that the tapiocas are amazing and actually at a very good price! I had one with organic chicken and it was great! I recommend trying the Brazilian brigadeiro as well.
Delicious healthy food in the heart of UWS! Very friendly service and amazing atmosphere. The peanut butter and banana tapioca is just incredible, a must-have! The açai bowl with strawberry and nuts is also quite tasteful. Will definitely come back many times for breakfast, lunch or a snack post-workout.
Came in with my kids to enjoy great healthy food! these tapioca crepes are gluten free, no sugar or fat! also, the door ramp makes it easy for the strollers. Parents appreciate it!
I thought coming here would be cheaper than starbs… I was served way less coffee, charged the same, & they don’t even offer a restroom for customers. I’d say no.
The local bum Gregg Hughes (yes 2 G’s) sits out front and yells at people trying to eat. Its extremely annoying and makes the dining experience very unpleasant.
Food is so good, perfect cheese bread
Açaí is amazing as well as cheese bread!
I recommend this place. There are meals from Brazil.
Great cocktails and the truffle fries are amazing!!
Wanted to like this place, got very sick after eating, also the espresso was bitter and poorly extracted. The staff was unfriendly, told me I should learn Portuguese while I was ordering. I advise to anyone who hasn’t tried. Stay away.
Best açaí bowl in NYC!I LOVE a good açaí bowl and have tried a good number of them throughout NYC - TAP has my favorite by far. The Monster Açaí bowl is only $12 and comes with unlimited toppings (fruit, granola, cocoa nibs, etc).The cheese bread is also top notch.Fast friendly service, good amount of seating inside and a cute little patio out front. Highly recommended!
Always a solid and great experience visiting TAP NYC. The food is great and the staff is super friendly. If youre looking for a savory tapioca crepe, try the Parla or Pollo. Their acai bowls are great as well if youre looking for something sweet.
They have excellent food. I recommend the Parla. It is Swiss cheese, prosciutto and arugala folded into the talicoa crepe. I prefer it without mustard. I recommend the Pao de Queijo as well. They label it as Cheesebread for the blanquitos. It is excellent and almost always fresh, because it sells out quickly. Definitely eat at this place!
Nice place with nice authentic Brazilian tried the pao de queijo (cheese bread). No restrooms for customers.
The food is so good and the inside is so beautiful and nice!
Best Brazilian inspired-food and coziest place Ive been to in NYC in ages!As a Brazilian whos constantly in NYC, Ive been dreaming of a place like this in ages. Incredibly tasty blend of healthy + comfortable Brazilian food! Perfect for New Yorkers - both homesick Brazilians and natives who want to explore the best my country has to offer. Got to meet the owner during the weekend and considering his talent, team, and the atmosphere theyve created Im sure this will be a summer rave. Ill be back every single day Im in NYC to eat the one and only tapioca worth eating in town! Congrats!
Fantastic!! Best acai bowl in the city
This restaurant is the one I like best. I go to plenty of restaurants but here I keep coming back again and again. The crew is very professional and the food they cook is so tasty. I never decline to have a decent dinner in this restaurant. Highly recommended.
Totally celiac friendly and delicious.
The food is good and the place is nice. If you want to grab something and go, it is great for it! However, dont count on this, only checking the website hours. TAP is extremely inconsistent and gives you the impression that they open it when they feel like it, and it happens pretty much every morning.
Ive been getting iced cortados all over city for 5 years and only question Ive ever been asked is how much milk would you like in there?! I know many people who order them! Never a problem. I dont mind that woman at register wasnt sure what to charge etc so asked someone else but when that person then acted like it was I was asking for something extraordinary, plus saying he has to charge extra because I said its usually just a little more milk than a cortado (I didnt even insist on the extra milk as I could see it was an issue!) and seemed annoyed and unhappy with my request, I thought this is just bad service. Then he handed it to me without a word when I said thanks! I was in the food industry and know people who continue to be and no one I know or have ever encountered would care that much over a few mls of milk! Or act with hostility. Not only will I never go there again but Ill be telling others. Its not rocket science.. its a drink! And a smile and positive demeanor would have equaled a tip, positive review and telling people to frequent the establishment.
Great, healthy food with good prices and a complete gluten free menu. Additionally, the best hot chocolate. I visited a few times while in NYC and the staff were friendly, helpful and timely.
The tapioca was delicious. The place is clean, nice, comfortable. The staff is friendly. 👍 / 👎 The price is more expensive then what I expected for tapiocas and pão de queijo. It should have more flavors of tapiocas, like cheese and guava jam.
The location is cool and seating is good. But prices are higher than I expected. The Acai I had was Small but really good. Expensive probably due to the high overhead to have a place like this in New York. It was good to try, but not a place I would think is a must go back to visit for me.
One of my favorite places, but... one of their baristas pretty much always messes up my orders (sometimes I have to go and pay extra for things I still want to have in my acai bowl), but today it was kind of enough of this, so I mentioned to her (her name is Lu) that she added things that I don’t want (also my friend did not get what he wanted).So once I did that, she simply goes: “no one likes you here and don’t tell me how to do my job”. Takes my bowl and dumps it... wow!Well she did another one for me with lots of attitude and commenting on how annoying I am to her and everyone else.This is unacceptable...I will leave it here just to make someone take a responsibility for their costumer service improvement. Even though the rest of people who works there are really nice.But food is amazing, no complains about this part.
LOVE it! The atmosphere is welcoming, excellent service and the healthy food is SO delicious. The tapioca mushroom is the best. I highly recommend it and cannot wait to go back.
Very nice place, great location and decor!The staff is very friendly and deliver orders expeditiously! I tried the tapioca, acai, the expresso coffee and the brigadeiro. I liked them all but definetly the tapioca was my favorite! Very good meal at reasonable price! No doubt it will be added to one of my favorite places.
Incredible place - the pão de queijo is better than most I’ve had in Brazil!
100% gluten free! This place has mini sandwiches, crepes and wraps, allafe with tapioca flour! A little pricey but really good!
Very upsetting. Had an allergy attack to something in my food and they didnt care, didnt offer me a refund or offer to make something else. I was very clear about my allergies. Also, when you go to a gluten free establishment you like to hope they are super aware of allergies and possible contamination of other foods you are allergic too in their pots etc. They couldve cared less and I will not be going back.
Super cute place! Love the setup!
Food was amazing. However, at 39 weeks of pregnancy, I really needed a restroom and they made me go to a diner next door :(
Is it too much to say TAP NYC is life!!! Always a pleasure to come here and feel welcomed and not to mention their excellent food and service. Thanks guys! ♥️🙏🏽✨
Reminded me of my hometown. Thank you.Best açaí and Tapioca ever. ❤️
Good food. Good for gluten free
It was nice!!! All gluten free!
My new favorite place ever! Excellent gluten free AND LOW CARB options.
The food is delicious and its a good option if you are gluten free. No restrooms service.
I walked by and the beautiful orange sign and decor called my attention and wanted to try their Pão de quijo, i orded and when I get my wallet out then the cashier tells me is Card only no cash.Please just put a sign on the that say Cash only,Thanks
The açaí here is easily the best I have ever had. I am brazilian and I have tried açaí all over including top places in Brazil.
Yum! Yuuuuuuuuuumm! Cheesey balls! So soft and warm and round and delicious!
I used to go there often when they first opened for their matcha and GF options. Felt like my kinda place. Then they decided to not let customers use their bathroom. ??? How are you a cafe/ restaurant that serves coffee, tea and food and not have a bathroom?! I never went back.
Coffee/lattes were good. The little cheese balls were great. The tap crepe was...weird? Grainy little plasticy pellets w some filling - not great. But those cheese balls...
Delicious and original brazilian gourmet food
Love this place but super upset as I just found a hair in my crepe 😣
Walked by it the first time, not expecting so much to be gluten free. Many gf options, vegan too.
Definitely the best - and original brazilian - açaí bowl in NYC! the homemade cheese bread recipe is also so delicious!
Cute little place serving amazing tapiocas for a decent price! Love coming here when I miss Brazilian flavors. The carnitas tapioca is my favorite.
I had a scrumptious breakfast paired with a creamy cortado here while working on my laptop. They have strong WiFi, DELICIOUS food, fast service & the staff were very helpful.
Today I visited TAP NYC at Columbus and 72st. Upper West. Just to taste a delicious AÇAI. But , in addition to the Açai , i had a delicious coffee , some brigadeiros (brazilian chocolat) and pao de queijo ( cheese bread) , and a TAPIOCA. !!! My God !!!!!!! Excelent !!!! And excellent prices ! And the ambient !!! I will go there every day !!
Friendly staff and good food.The store on 73rd and Columbus is supposed to open at 8am and a few times I’ve gone at 8:10 and the door was locked.Unfortunately for me 8am is late enough for my favorite coffe
Delicious and all gluten free!
Loved it!!!! Amazing tapiocas, different flavors, delicious! Coffee is very good too and açai is true to its origins. Will be back!
We visited on a Monday evening. The atmosphere is casual. I ordered the beet salad which was tasty, except very few beets! Limited bar selections and very poor service!
The place offers a great variety of fresh food. I loved eating here. Employees are always kind, rates are fair and the spot is always clean.
- Toilet out of order- THE guy forgot to serve my coffee (only 2 clients)- I was forced to tip when served at counter- Dirty tables from past customers
Delicious cheese bread and açaí.
The crepes look a bit different but have lots of taste. We preferred the savory crepes to the sweet, which normally isnt the case. I would return.
Really good place. Healthy and delicious. Not super cheap. But the reason I gave 4 stars is that with a party of 5, we had to ask twice about our order that took long.
Tapioca crepe caprese different, healthy, delicious
The chicken club with avocado was delicious!
Awesome spot! Amazing tapioca and açai, great prices, fantastic ambience, etc. I will definitely make this a routine stop during my weekends on the Upper West Side
Excellent crepes. Good coffee. Fast service.
Delicious pao de queijo with Guarana !! Unfortunately not able to have a coffee ,seems the machine was broken. Cool place and atmosphere just next to the Central Park

2022-01-22Food was okay taste wise, but definitely worth trying considering it’s gluten free. I got the mushroom and cheese tapioca sandwich. Pricey, given its size and lack of sides, for $15-$17 after tip.Was disappointed by the nonchalant attitude of the person taking my order (and staff in general). It was straightforward from their menu- no edits. Even Starbucks tries to be more caring when placing an order! Plus, food was served without even water or cutlery. Had to ask for every little thing. No restrooms, even though it’s a decent sized place. Won’t be coming back anytime soon! Especially considering the number of wonderful restaurants with great service in the area.

2022-04-30When looking for GF options, especially in such a big city, a designated 100% Gluten Free place gives me such peace of mind. TAP NYC checked a lot of boxes for me!

2021-08-25Delicious Brazilian, tapioca based food! 100% gluten free so no worries for celiacs. I had a sandwich and shared some of the cheese bread. Would definitely recommend for a quick and surprisingly filling lunch!

2021-11-18We come for the cheese tapioca rolls, which are heavenly warm, soft delicious rolls that melt in your mouth! Almond milk latte was surprisingly good for a place that is not primarily a coffee shop… Not too sweet and quite good!

2022-05-01I LOVE Pao de Queijo. I have a few Brazilian friends and have asked them to teach me how to make them. These ones were delicious, I’d say even better than my homemade ones

2022-03-30Great place! If you’re looking for some Brazilian treats this is a place that I would definitely come back to when in NYC. Great quality food and the portions are big as well. Don’t forget to order one of the pão de queijos!

2021-10-25I was disappointed with this place. The $12 açaí “bowl” didn’t even have an entire fruit serving on the top of it and the granola was rock hard. The artificial sweetener was over powering and the “bowl” was served in a cup. I had a cheese roll which was good but I wouldn’t come back here. Also the outdoor tables could use a wipe down, they were not clean.

2022-02-15Why travel all the way to Brazil lol when you can have delicious pão quiejo (cheese bread) in nyc! So happy this little gem of a place is in my neighborhood. I wake up craving their Power Smoothie (organic açaí, banana, strawberries, cocoa nibs, almond butter, vegan protein powder). So delicious! and I could never just have one cheese bread lol it’s perfect. I love how toasty it is and served warm. Yummy!

2021-12-06They have Pão de Queijo! That was worth it, although it was a bit too crispy on the outside the inside was just right. The coffee was okay but not the highlight

2022-02-06Delicious food and great service always. One of my favorite places to stop for lunch for a wrap or grab cheesy bread as a snack. It’s hard for me to find good gluten free options that are just as tasty! This place hits the spot every time
