| - I'm rating this place vs other bakeries, not based on it's authenticity/Brazilian-ness.
10 years ago, when my buddies used to live a few doors down, we would come over to Brazil Bakery stoned out of our minds and in desperate need of munchies. I remembered the selection of pastries being vast and extremely tasty. We would grab a dozen of these badboys (I think they did 12 pastries for $10) and gobble them up.
I wandered back here today after asking my old friend to lead me to it.
Even completely sober, this place still got me pretty excited. It was exactly how I remembered. Much bigger inside than most bakeries, with seating on the left hand side of the shop and the pastries displayed on the right. They have lots of fresh bread and buns too. But the pastries/treats are what's really impressive - they have lots!
They have your usual Portuguese custard tarts, donuts, croissants, cookies, brownies and I'd say at least 50 different pastry treats, pannacotta, etc. My eyes were boggling out of my head.
I settled on a small square with oreo cookie crumb bottom, vanilla custard layer and strawberry layer on top with some white chocolate shavings. YUM!
Do it up, if you're in the neighbourhood.
