As a brazilian native, im always looking for authentic flavors. This place has it all! Their sweets are amazing, the coffee is original and the cheese bread is literally to die for! Totally worth the calories! Dont walk, run!

Perfect location for a Brazilian treat! Love that it’s hop over to the west side , today my son and I visited for the first time bc we were missing Avós house in 🇧🇷 ! The Brigadeiro was rich and of quality , the Pao de Queijo was pretty good pls don’t expect the same prices you would in Brazil it’s not practical this store is operating out of the heart of soho & is delivering more then just pastries to many it’s a nostalgic stop or just a great treat ! Totally wish they carried Pan but the guaraná makes up for it. Staff was kind and welcoming ! We’ll be back !

The Pao de Queijo was good but even after warming up still cold inside.

If you find yourself in the Houston St/LES of Manhattan and want a tasty Brazilian treat, this is your spot! Of course I had to share my love of all things Brazilian with the owner (who’s been there 10yrs making these delicious bites) and talk about how much I miss my Brazilian family, Elizabeth & Sergio, and brought a bunch of goods for the meetings back at Astor Place…tasted as authentic as being in a bakery in Saõ Paulo…
