This place is LEGIT! True Brazilian staff and costumers. I had no idea what to order, so I asked the guy behind the counter, who suggested a chocolate strawberry thing. Boyfriend ordered a pastry with caramel, which looked like a seashell. We also ordered these cookie things with guava (??) sprinkled with sugar. Whoa!! Amazing! I scored with my selection. It was a chocolate covered strawberry with some kind of custard filling. I couldn't of ordered a more perfect option for me as I am obsessed with chocolate covered strawberries. Boyfriend's pastry with very flaky and buttery. He was quite pleased. The guava cookie things were firm and delicious!
The sandwiches looked amazing, so I will definitely be returning for lunch and dessert.
Oh yeah... the place was extremely clean and bright. Very nice on the inside. You wouldn't expect this place to be on Powers Ferry. -

Brazilian Bakery Café is an authentic Brazilian Bakery held within the confines of Marietta, GA. I'm only in Marietta once in a blue moon; only when I visit my brother. When he moved to the Powers Ferry area, that opened up his choices of eateries. We've passed by Brazilian Bakery Café on many occasions. One morning we were out for some breakfast, as we drove by I asked if he had ever been there; Keith quickly turned into the second entrance and said, "Not yet".
I've tried a few items off their menu, like these fried balls of chicken and cheese called Coxinha, these are extra good, and a great breakfast snack. There is also Kibe, which I think, was the ground beef mixed with olives and wheat, then fried; also tasty and a good breakfast snack. I've also tried a couple snadwiches like the BB Lombinho. A BBQ pork loin, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pineapple and potato sticks all on a thin crispy bread. To hear it and to taste it are different...the sweetness of the BBQ, the loin, and the pineapple mixed with the saltiness of the ham, cheese and potato sticks; it all comes together in a cohesive master piece, no question it was mind blowing good.
On my last visit, when I decided to write this review, it was on my birthday and on this occasion, I wanted some cake and only cake. Cake, usually isn't for me, it's usually too dry and...cakey; I end up just eating the frosting off normal cakes. The only time I normally have cake is only on my birthday and only pineapple upside down cake; cause its moist and fruity.
A young man named William helped me choose my cake. He let me try a sample spoonful of a few of them; telling me the main ingredient in each. The cakes were too great. Each pounding with flavor and had a heaping bit of cream (not frosting) in between each layer, they were fluffy and heavy at the same time whilst being moist.
It was at this point, I had to make a decision. Four great cakes, one major sweet tooth. I made the only choice possible, I picked two.
The bolo de creme de abacaxi and the bolo de morango ao creme were both just too good to pass up. William was kind of surprise that I chose two, but I am a big ole boy. I ate one there and took the other back to my brothers where it lasted only an hour before I ate it.
Brazilian Bakery Café is a quite, humble place with a nice staff and great food. The idea is great, traditional Brazilian, done cafe style. With a place like this, the owners of Brazilian Bakery Café won't have anything to worry about for sometime to come.
I'll definitly be going back.

The empayada was better than average. Great crust and the filling was very meaty. I did add some hot sauce to the insides. I felt it lacked the punch of flavor that the empayadas of Puerto Rico and other latin countries I have visited. But all in all, very good for a local fix or craving.
I had the Filet sandwhich that had Beef steak, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, corn and potato sticks. Flavor was great, my only suggestion was they used way too much cheese.
I would definitely return again. -

Good stuff. I drove from Decatur on a rainy Saturday night just to satsify my five-month long craving for coxinhas--the Brazilian Bakery delivered.
Coxinhas are badass street food snack things. Imagine a ball of chicken, cheese, and yummy flavors rolled up and fried in potato-ey encasement. The result? Creamy, stick to your ribs food. The ones they make here are pretty authentic, and huge. One was enough to fill me up, but it's always good to have back up.
The atmosphere is fun and it seems like a place the Brazilian community really rallies behind. Pretty sure I was only the person in there who didn't speak Portuguese, but I didn't feel unwelcome either. My only wish is that the seating areas were a bit more comfy looking and conducive to lingering, because the people watching is GOOD! -

Hey Brazilian patrons of this restaurant/bakery, why you gotta stare me down when I come in as if I'm some sorta leper or creature you've never seen before? Good thing I go with my Brazilian boyfriend or I'd probably want to run outta here from all the weird stares I get.
ANYWAYS, things I've tried:
Coxinha: solid. Delicious. I've had a few dry ones though, and I'd prefer it if the cheese inside was less stringy/chewy and more melty/creamy. But that's just my personal preference.
Pao de queijo: really, really good. Chewy and crusty at the same time and so cheesy. We'll usually order a dozen to go.
Pastel with meat: This beats any empanada I have ever had, ever. It's deep fried and the crust is crispy, greasy, golden brown and delicious. The ground beef inside is seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of saltiness and I love that they add bits of olives in there too.
Brigadeiros and beijinhos: I could eat 20 of these.
Kibbeh: Tastes like your average, delicious kibbeh. This has a very crispy crust on the outside, which adds extra yumminess.
Flan: it was just ok. It didn't taste that fresh and it was almost... chewy? Instead of creamy and eggy.
Pineapple juice: it's really sweet. I don't know if they add sugar or something but I had to dilute it with water.
The guys who work here are nice and it's open til midnight on the weekends. Mmm, everything they have there looks super yummy and I'm definitely going back there soon. But with my boyfriend. -

Friendly staff, seemingly large local following..
We came in here to get some sweets to bring to a party, but we had no idea what anything was. The nice guy behind the counter was friendly and gave us some good suggestions. It was a sweet bonus when he would suggest something, and then hand one over the counter for us to sample before making the decision.
They were also cooking some meats on the grill outside, and it smelled delicious. -

Just as Kristen N. said! "True Brazilian staff and customers". I admit, I was a little intimidated since I am not Brazilian when I first walked in. It seems a lot like a Brazilian hang out. But the food! WOW! Amazing! They have THE softest most moist bread I have ever tasted! You can purchase a whole bag of 12 for $2!!!!! There beef skewers are awesome! The meat is so tender and flavorful and always hot off the grill.
The staff isn't the friendliest, but they so make up for it in there food.
Doesn't stop me from going! Everything here is super affordable and they are open late!
One of my favorite places to visit for exquisite food!! -

I first tried the Brazillian Bakery Coxinha at Taste of Marietta and loved it so much that I swore up and down that I would go to their cafe soon and try some other foods, but delayed it until tonight. Man oh man, I should not have waited so long; it was so good!
For dinner I had the Coxinha (fried dough stuffed with chicken and mozzarella cheese), Filet Sandwich (steak, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, corn and potato sticks on Brazilian bread), and for desert I had the chocolate covered honey cake. All was so good!
The staff here was excellent at helping us decide what we wanted and throughly explained what everything was. Very nice guys.
I highly recommend that you check out the bakery soon! As one friend (Christy L.) told me, "Dude. RUN to Brazilian Bakery. It's gooooooooood!"1 Previous Review: Show all »

Cheap amazing goodness. 3 words- TRES LECHES CAKE! Such a creamy little square of joy. Right off Powers Ferry before the Kroger shopping center. I'm so glad this is a new addition to my little list of dessert spots! People there are so friendly as well and will point out whatever dessert/baked good there is. They also serve normal food as well but I haven't had the opportunity to check that out yet.
Yummmm, love the Brazilian sweets here. -

This place is located in a Brazilian themed shopping plaza up in Cobb county. It's the real deal, not a chain. Has the feel of a place you'd find in south Florida.
I had their bacon burger which has bacon, ham, corn, tomato, potato straws, and melted cheese on a brazilian roll. It had a nice flavor to it. Everything tasted fresh. What I mean is that you could tell this wasn't a fast food burger. I've never had corn on a burger before, but it worked relatively well. Also tried the ground beef empanada. Really tasty. It had green olives in it which I thought was a great choice. Fresh pineapple juice with mint. Really great. Got a slice of coconut pineapple cake for dessert. Delish. There's an entire bakery full of tasty looking treats here. I will be back when I get the chance. -

I was working here for over 2 hours one day and they left a large tub of raw ground beef out the whole time. The were also not concerned about the rat dropping that fell from the ceiling tiles on the the food prep areas.

Gosh, I really wish that I could find a similar bakery/cafe in LA.
I went here twice during my stay in Atlanta... luckily enough it was super close to my buddy's apartment.
The staff there was very friendly and I camped out for a bit w/my laptop after enjoying a feijoada (Brazilian national dish - available a few times a week) to enjoy the free WiFi and (not too loud) music being played.
The bakery is much larger than I would have thought judging from the outside. It's pretty expansive once inside. And there are so many choices in the glass that it may be a bit overwhelming for newcomers.
I brought along a group for breakfast the second time around and we chowed down on a bunch of goodies from kibe, pasteis, coxinhas, and various of pastries. Oh and don't forget the Brazilian coffee.
it's just good stuff... -

Did the weekend suburban trip so decided to try something besides Buford Hwy and Duluth. My friend had heard about this place from her waxer? (not sure what the proper nomenclature is for someone who waxes).
This place is great and I wish I would have tried it sooner. Great sandwiches on solid bread for 5 bucks. The coxhina was phenomenal. Really friendly staff who were not annoyed with me and my friend taking a long time to order-- neither one of us know our way around Brazilian food honestly. We also tried a vanilla cream pastry that was delicious and I'm not a sweets person.
As a bonus there is a market a couple of doors down that had grilled and roasted meat outside. We tried a steak stick, which was tenderloin on a skewer with a tomato sauce-- may be the best thing I've ever eaten that costs 2 dollars. Was too full to take home the roasted rib roast but judging by the tenderloin I suspect it's amazing.
I am already thinking of when I'm going back to both places -

So admittedly I picked up all the wrong things... especially when dealing with certain dietary "restrictions" but they all looked sooo good!
Everything I picked up was fried, carb loaded, and filled with cheese (those lil' bread rolls) They were all pretty good, but yea I paid dearly for my little binge..lol.. Out of the fried chicken balls and the cheese rolls,I think the Pastelie ( sorry on the spelling) was the one that stood out the most! Just think of a fried puff pastry filled with shredded chicken and hearts of palm..yummy!
On the other hand the pineapple mint drink was delicious and refreshing! The staff went out of thier way to explain the different pastries and goodies behind the glass. -

I feel weird giving this place five stars, but that's the overall impression I was left with after visiting for lunch with my co-workers. Brazilian Bakery is located close to the intersection of Delk Rd. and Powers Ferry, across from the shopping center with Micro Center. The inside of the restaurant is well lit, spacious, and clean. They offer a wide selection of freshly made cakes and pastries and also have a menu you can order food off of, including pies, pizzas, salads, and most of all, sandwiches.
The sandwiches are reasonably priced, anywhere from $3 to $6. We decided to order the Fillet (beef steak, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, corn and small potato sticks) and the Tudo (hamburger, grilled chicken, ham, cheese, cream cheese, bacon, hot dog, egg, onion, corn, lettuce, tomato, and small potato sticks). We were told that the Fillet was their most popular sandwich and it's easy to see why. The meat is thinly sliced and tender. I've never had corn in a sandwich before and these were quite tasty.
In addition, we had an order of their Bolinho de Mandioca (yuca sticks). This was fresh yuca, not frozen. They were thick and delicious. We also had a sampling of several of their desserts and pastries, including the passion fruit mousse, chocolate mousse, guava and cream cheese pastry, strawberry, cream, and nut pastry, and some of their cheese bread (which isn't on the menu). While I was trying to pick what dessert/pastry I wanted to try, one customer walked up to me and told me to just close my eyes and point because everything behind the glass is good. I'll have to agree with him after sampling all the pastries I did - they were delicious. Needless to say, we all left stuffed.
Some other misc. notes: There are two flat screen TVs on either end of the restaurant so we could watch World Cup action. One of my co-workers was so impressed with the pastries that he ordered two big slices of cake to go. Our server Andre gave us great service and was helpful in describing all the items to us. We will definitely be coming back here in the future. Be sure to check out my Local Photos of this place to see pictures of the restaurant and the food. -

My friend took me over there with my two kids. I ended up buying just about one of everything there. I have eaten a lot of Brazilian food, but by far, this is the best.. It truly is a must try place. I love it. I live in Atlanta, so it is about 18 miles from me, but well worth the drive. I could not believe how cheap the food was. I honestly bought a LOT of food there and only spend around 20 dollars. I will have food for the next 2 days or so from there. That 20 dollars included the meals that my family ate while we were there, PLUS the extra food that I ordered before we left for home. WOW, what a deal and what great quality.
Samples of anything that I would like to try. Fast friendly service. Yes, they speak perfect english.. :-)
MM GOOD. AAAA++++ Rating in my book. -

It'd been several months since my last visit and today I was craving a Brazilian sandwich. But after scanning the menu on the wall, I decided to try the "Torta Frango" instead which I mistakenly thought would be like a Mexican Tortas but instead was this pie-looking dish that was surprisingly heavy (as in "it weighed a lot") when I carried the dish to my table. (I googled "Torta Frango" and it actually means "Brazilian chicken pie".)
If you can picture the torta with me - it looked like a slice of apple pie with the puff pastry layer on the top & bottom, and the inside filling was shredded chicken with green olives in tomato sauce on the bottom, and on top of that is a thick layer of cream. Honestly when I saw cream in the menu description I told myself "no i can't" (for cholesterol reasons) but the guy behind the counter told me I needed to try it ... the foodie part of my brain won :)
Torta Frango was very good, esp. when hot. And very rich. So I could eat just half. Did I tell you the torta cost just $3.49? That's another reason why I like this place - the prices are very reasonable, too. It also means then you have enough money to treat yourself to one of their many desserts. Since the last time I was here, they expanded their space so I assume business is good. They also sell Brazilian coffee by the pound. Very cute place and cute guys working behind the counter :)Listed in: Marietta Lunch Spots, Sandwiches in Atlanta, Desserts in Atlanta

Great service and great food! I think I was better off NOT KNOWING that the "pasteis" exist! As Aimme G. noted, the Frango is amazing. I keep wanting to try the banana one, but I'm also afraid to try it for fear that I'll want one daily. My old stand-by for breakfast is the BB Bauru (grilled ham and cheese with tomato on a crusty roll) and a pineapple-mint juice. YUM!
If you don't know what something is, just ask the lovely folks behind the counter. I've never had bad service and I've never been given a strange look for not knowing what something is. Awesome desserts and savories in the glass cases and most of those items are sold by weight. Taking home a pound of cake never felt so right.Listed in: My Neighborhood

Thank you, fellow Yelpers. I was looking for someplace to grab lunch with a friend, and you guys have done me right yet again. Not only was this place right around the corner from where I needed to be (OK, that was just luck), but the price and taste were amazing. I would not have found this place otherwise.
They have many different baked goods. They aren't labeled, but the staff answered all my questions. I had the fried pastries for lunch...a small BBQ Chicken and a small banana. The large ones are pretty good sized...make sure you see how big these things are before ordering. Either way though, it was a great quick lunch, and it was very inexpensive. I wish I lived closer so I could go more often. -

Brazilian Bakery makes their sandwiches well and prices them fairly. Depending how much you eat, you can get very frugal with your meal here.
I just had a beef fillet sandwich, and it tasted delicious. Even though it only cost $5, it was a lot better than sandwiches in other stores that cost similar.
The ingredients they use are different than your typical American sandwiches. They can use corn, olives, etc. Also their bread is a crispy Brazilian bread. I like their bread a lot because it tastes good and adds a lot of texture and flavor to the sandwiches. It's just different.
I didn't get any sides because I didn't notice them. Afterwards, I did notice they had yucca fries as one of the side items. I love yucca, and I'm definitely going to order that next time.
I looked at their baked goods and they looked yummy. They had various cakes and, of course, the Brazilian cheese rolls (my favorite). They also serve smoothies. I haven't tried any of their baked goods or smoothies, but they will be next on the menu.
I'm putting this in my regular lunch eating list.Listed in: OTP places, Places to Eat Around Smynings

I've become quite the regular of this place..It used to be so hard to find all my favorite little sinful delights that once, could only be had from my times in Brasil... Not since I discovered this little gem!
Coxinha's will always be my favorite..Although I dont think I've had one thing from here that I have not loved.. ;o)
It would be nice if they would put descriptions of the goods next to them... Having all the details of their cakes would sure make it alot easier to pick one out, rather than basing it off of their appearance.
Bolinhos de bacalhau would be a great addition to their menu as well, or something similar to it! -

Today, was my first time here and I cant wait to go back. I stopped by to have lunch with a mate. Had the Palmito sandwich (with chicken breast, ham, tomatoes, cheese, heart of palm, sweet corn, lettuce and potatoes) and coffee, and loved it. Would like to return to try some of their baked goodies such as the Coxinha and Cheese balls.

Summary: Authentic Brazilian bakery and snack/lunch items, try the Coxinha, Lombinho and Pastel...
After Pao De Mel closed, I was looking for another Brazilian bakery, and I guess I found it. Authentic brazilian pastries such as coxinha, pastel and quibe are served, along with guava cookies, sweet breads and other favourites like passionfruit mousse and smoothies/juices with tropical fruits. Reasonably priced lunch place, and I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic brazilian food off the beaten path.
Try the lombinho (pork) sandwich with interesting stuffings like roast pork with cheese, tomato lettuce, corn, pineapple and crispy potato sticks. The coxinha which is shredded chicken covered in batter and fried, and pastel (looks like an empanada).
I am not sure if they have the cheese puffs (pao de queijo), but I'll definitely be going back to find out. -

What happened to this place?
Seriously. It used to be great--service, food.
The food's pretty much the same, but the whole experience has gone topsy turvy--confused people running the counter, half self-serve/half table service with no clear distinguishing between, what with the counter calling the number and then walking around you to take it to the table as you cross paths. The only thing consistent in this most recent visit was the spectrum of inconsistency.
New ownership? Rampant walk-outs? Vacations? There's no telling. Shame, though. Used to be one of my favorite places. Now it's just weird. -

yum. go. right now. and get the coxinha. I think it looks like a teardrop. It's basically chicken filling inside with other stuff, with the outside lightly fried. Tastes really good with hot sauce available on the tables. Tastes just as good the next day if you heat it back up. One is about $2.20 and fills you up pretty good.
I also like the passion fruit mousse - it comes in a plastic cup and is on display next to the cakes. Speaking of, cakes are priced by weight, so I would recommend getting a small slice to make sure you like it. I got a huge slice of the lime cake and thought it tasted weird at first. Got used to it eventually, but not that great imo. Appearance-wise, all the cakes definitely looks pretty though. Mini pastries, I haven't found any great ones. I plan to try out a couple everytime to go for a chicken ball.
Recommend the fillet sandwich. BB chicken was kinda dry. Bread used in sandwich has hard outside, soft inside - it's pretty tasty. -

On my list of places to try AGAIN.
A few coworkers go there to pick yummy food and so I decided to try it for lunch. They suggested a few things but of course i forgot the names right away.
Was pleasantly surprised when I got there:
-its a large space--hugeeeeeeeee counters of baked goods; quite a few tables for dine-in orders
-an extensive menu
-TEXAS PETE hot sauce on the tables haha
-very helpful/nice staff
I didnt know what anything was, so I just decided to order a torta with EVERYTHING in it. It was ok.....it had meat (chicken + sauce of some sort), cheese, corn, hearts of palm, etc. The flavor was fine...but got mushy relatively quick. Probably wouldn't order another torta. Also got a fresh juice/smoothie type thing--honeydew+mint. YUM YUM YUM. it was too sweet, and the flavors blended well. The juice wasn't thick nor was it gritty.
On the way out, I picked up 2 things which turned out to be PHEASFDKDFNOMENALLLL:
-cheesy bread (they sell it by the pound--like $7.00/lb. but I got like 4 small pieces and cost me like $1)
-this fried potato ball with chicken filling (around $2)
and YUM. both were REALLY outstanding and I would def go back for that.
Will need to try more drinks, baked goods, and this bulgar wheat fried ball of something a coworker said was great!
-1 star bc the strawberry cheesecake my coworker got turned out to be AWFUL. Though it looked lush and moist and fresh, it was NOT. it was hard and dense, and didnt taste fresh at all. -

The sandwich I got was really good. I think it was called the Frango? Oh gosh...can't remember. But it was a nice size sandwich with sliced chicken, cheese, lettuce, ham, corn, and little teeny tiny fried potatoes. (don't think french fries) Sandwich was great and all the ingredients were fresh. If I grabbed the sandwich and left it would be 5 stars from me.
But I didn't....
I ordered a side of fries. I don't recommend the fries and I should of known better. Not that they were horrible, but being a brazilian bakery I expected something exciting for the fries and homemade. These were just plain. Next time I will get some mini bites to go with the sandwich I ordered. And the thing that brought it down to a 3 star was... they charged me 1.30 for a refill of coke - which is ridiculous when they serve it from a paper cup. I ended up paying over 3 dollars for a beverage to go with my meal. I honestly think I will bring my own beverage next time. That just irked me. Do you know how much they make off the coke and to go charge a customer that already paid for one again...is a bit ridiculous. OK maybe I am just cheap. But those things matter to me.
So overall..go try out a sandwich and pastries. Skip the fries. And BYOBeverage...ok you probably can't do that. But don't expect a re-fill... -

I ate at BB last night, and was very satisfied with my experience! We ordered several dishes:
Pastry ball filled with chicken and cheese -absolutely divine. This was my favorite item. The consistency and texture felt like heaven in my mouth. It consists of a crispy fried-like outer covering and inside was shredded chicken, cheese, and some other ingredients. It's not on the menu, but apparently it's one of the most popular pastry items. Sooo recommended!
Banana Sandwich -very different, but in a good way! Warm soft bread with mushy banana and melted cheese in between. It's a sweet sandwich, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Torta with shredded chicken and heart of palm -a heavy, thick slice of a pie filled with shredded chicken, olives, a tomato-based sauce, and a light fluffy cream-like substance (which I think is the heart of palm). Also a great dish, and very filling!
Chicken pastry with BB sauce -similar taste to the torta mentioned above, but instead the chicken is in a flat fried empanada-looking shell. Pretty good, but probably wouldn't order it again.
The total only came out to be about $12 and we were full and had leftovers. So it's super affordable! The food is so fresh and amazing! The service is also great, the employees are pretty young, but they're super helpful with recommendations and explaining the menu.
I have consistently been surprised with some of the ethnic gems I've been discovering around Marietta, and this one definitely ranks top as one of them!Listed in: Ethnic Gems in Marietta

I love me a bakery and when I found out that Marietta, GA had a Brazilian bakery honey! im on top of it! I took a group of friends and we literally tried everything! including dishes that are not considered dessert! The Flan! is to die for! and here I thought my father made the best Flan, nope! this place is very clean and peaceful and the clientele is prominently made up of natives which adds to its charm. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is super cute! If in the area definitely stop by....

This place is THE perfect place for cheap sweets and meals if you ever get the late-night munchies. They really do let you sample a few of the desserts, since they don't display the names next to each item (which would be really helpful). BUT the people that work there themselves are helpful already, especially if you look like you're confused on what's what. They are great at describing the ingredients in each dessert, which makes it so much harder to choose just one.
Did I mention how inexpensive they are? If I really wanted to gain weight and grow cavities one weekend, I'd be here buying one, two or four of everything for...hmmmm, $20, give or take.
The store hours run from early morning, 7or 8am, I believe, to 10pm on weekdays and midnight on Fridays and weekends. It's mine and my friends' late-night haven since everything else here in East Cobb shuts down early.
Their desserts aren't the only things I love. They have this chicken pizza thing that's topped with a plethora of corn that's absolutely AMAZING!! If I knew the name I would tell you, but I just mooched off my friend's plate since I couldn't take looking at it without asking for a bite. The whiff of the plate itself made me weak in the knees when it first came out from the kitchen.
It won't be long til my next visit! -

One of my fave place for cheap eats in my neighborhood. The pastel (empanadas) are yummo and you get a huge serving for little to nothing. My fave pasteles here are the Frango which is shredded chicken simmered in a sauce similar to bbq but lighter and tangier. Also the Camaro which is a shrimp cooked in a cream sauce with black olives. Their Lombino sandwich is also to die for!

business is booming at Brazilian Bakery. like my alliteration? btw, the guys that works there are total eye candies! Anyway, the bakery is spacious and well maintained. I guess they're pretty popping with catering and cakes bc a couple ppl came to pick up foods and make cake orders while my friend and I were there. I have never had any Brazilian goodies before, so I selected several random items; fried chicken balls, mini coconut muffin-thingy, guava w/ cream cheese pastry, chicken croissant, cheese balls, passion fruit custard.
The fried chicken balls was one of my favorite; a mix of chicken and cheese in a fried ball of goodness. Mini coconut looked cute, tasted dry. Guava pastry was off the chizzain! I've only had similar guava pastry in Publix bakery back home and honest to goodness, I love Publix baked goods, but their guava pastry was weak! compared to the one here. Chicken croissant was good, wish I could eat this every day for breakfast and not face the consequences. Cheese balls, apparently similar to Japanese cheese balls, was good. It's not stringy or anything, but has the taste of cheese. I mistaken the passion fruit custard for flan bc it had the same color and texture as flan. This dessert was good, but in small dosage for me. It was very sweet, but the passion fruit aroma was definitely there.
I'd come back and try more goodies :) -

On the north side of Atlanta and its suburbs, you might notice a lot of Brazilian eateries. A lot. And their storefronts might look questionable at best from the window of your car.
Brazilian Bakery, however, should not be passed by.
It's at the end of a little strip mall with a South American grocery at the other end, a few salons and a smoke shop in the middle. Easy to miss and easy to confuse with the thousands of other similar strip malls along main drags in Cobb.
Nearly every customer is Brazilian, which is a good sign for the quality of the goods. The cases of baked goods do not have labels or prices; you will have to ask. Luckily the staff speaks perfect English and is very helpful. The menu is in Portuguese first, and English second. Don't be alarmed by the tiny numbers next to dollar signs; the prices really are THAT good. So is the food.
Pasteis are deep-fried pockets of cheese, meat, and other fillings both sweet and savory. The dough is sort of like an empanada, or a beignet, or a fried pie...it will remind you of many delicious things. They come in two sizes, but be warned: the small is actually very large. Think personal pizza size.
If you are not very adventurous, there are sandwiches and salads on the menu as well. The bread is a crispy fresh roll, and the fillings are as good as anywhere else.
If you ARE looking for something out of the ordinary, try the banana sandwich. Fried bananas and mozzarella cheese. It is definitely an odd combination, and you either love it or hate it.
Don't miss the fresh juices. The honeydew with mint is divine.
Hungry for more? Get a dessert. Cakes dripping with strawberries in syrup, rich mousse cups, and other delights await you. If you are looking for an affordable - but not ordinary - way to celebrate an occasion, they do custom cakes. There's a refrigerator case where you can check out some orders awaiting pickup, as well as pick up a bottle of Brazilian soda.
Brazilian Bakery is open all day, not closing until 10 at night. Later on weekends. -

Oh man... if you haven't been to a Brazilian bakery then you need to go to THE Brazilian Bakery in Marietta. My suggestion go hungry and order a X-Tudo or Shes-Two-Doe for those who don't speak Portuguese. It basically means WITH EVERYTHING! Man that thing is enormous and enormously good! Dang I think I'll have to go tomorrow...

This place is full of amazing baked goods, helpful staff and the prices are great. The pastel (fried dough stuffed with various fillings) are great - especially the one with chicken and green olives. I like to order their Avocado milk shake (it's sweetened with condensed milk). There is seating inside so you can eat on the premises too.

I've eaten here a few times now, and remain a huge fan. As others have noted, you must get a coxhinha! It is absolutely moutwatering. They are not on the menu, though I'm not sure why. They make them throughout the day and put them in the case. Just a fried ball of goodness stuffed with chicken and cheese. Mmmmmm. I've also had the various BB sandwiches, my favorite probably being the BB bacon. They put corn and potato sticks in many of their sandwiches and while it may sound rather odd - I can assure you it's quite tasty. We dropped by on July 4th and put together a couple of boxes of their cookies to take to cookouts. They have some interesting flavors and were generally pretty good. Unfortunately, I can't remember the names of any of them, but one was like a shortbread cookie with one end dipped in chocolate. Very good. They also have guava pastries. I'm a big fan of guava. The place is clean and well-lit, with plenty of seating. You will not be disappointed.
