Its vibrant green paint job, and canary yellow trim make it hard to miss. Brazil serves breakfast and lunch, and specializes in a skillful blend of Brazilian and American fare. Expertly prepared egg dishes, including Brazilian omelets, and a perfect eggs benedict, combined with excellent coffee, spicy, crispy home fries, and fresh baked bread make Brazil a must-visit for diners who appreciate the best in cafe dining.
