We can brew the tastiest coffee, make the fluffiest pancakes, serve the yummiest sandwiches and deliver the best service in the world – but it means nothing without customers. And at Cafe Brazil, we think we have the greatest customers around.

Every day, you make us smile with your Instagram pics, funny tweets, sincere Yelp reviews, amazing Facebook posts and delectable Flickr uploads.  Occasionally the feedback is less than stellar, but we appreciate the constructive criticism too. It helps us improve. Keeps us on our toes. And for that we are grateful.

We thought it would be fun to showcase an amazing Cafe Brazil Fan weekly and give you guys a little taste of the love you give us.

Our very first Fan shout out goes to:
