Brant Wood: CEO
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.
Soon, Café Brazil expanded to University Park, where the concept entrenched itself as a very popular weekend destination and the premier “deep night” dining spot. Locations were added throughout the Metroplex in Deep Ellum, Cedar Springs, Richardson and Carrollton.
In April 2004, the company was purchased by a group of local restaurant executives with the idea of enhancing the brand, rejuvenating existing locations and growing Café Brazil beyond its successful roots.
