"The owner of Café Patoro opened this spot because she missed the pão de queijo she ate as a child in Brazil. These chewy little cheese balls draw long lines at this daytime, counter-service café. You’ll get the most baked-cheese flavor from the plain version, but our favorite is the ham and cheese with little chunks of crispy pork. Fill up mostly on those, but save a little room for dessert. The gooey brigadeiro cake is a chocolate lover’s dream." - Kenny Yang, Matt Tervooren, Hannah Albertine
