Nearly eight years ago, our journey began right here in Pacific Beach, where we all found friendship and a sense of belonging. As Brazilians, we couldn't help but notice the absence of the true quality of Açaí from back home. This realization sparked a dream within us - to share the authentic Açaí experience with our community through our own unique recipe. Moreover, we envisioned creating a welcoming cafe that would become a cherished destination for all. Our commitment goes beyond Açaí; we've partnered with local artisans to offer a selection of locally sourced brews and pastries, ensuring a holistic experience that celebrates both global flavors and local talent.
