Cafe Brazil "Not Just Another Coffee House" Café Brazil opened for business in December 1991, nestled in the Lakewood area of Dallas, Texas. Café Brazil was founded as a quaint, ten-table restaurant, where you could enjoy a great breakfast and specialty roasted coffees from around the world in a smoke-free, eclectic, relaxing and fun environment. The concept in its original form was an instant success with crowds lined up outside the door 24 hours a day. Café Brazil has received widespread critical acclaim over the last few years including multiple awards from the Dallas Observer, D Magazine and others including Best Breakfast, Best Late Night Dining, Best Coffee, Best BLT and Best Grilled Cheese.
