They have an extensive cafe menu that I will come back to try.

I parked in a number spot and didn't have an issue as I was in and out, but the non numbered spots were full. When I walked in there was a couple freezers on the left and some fridges at the end and then a big old case of marinated meats. I was just going to get some frozen baguette breads for $7 but the meats looked too good to give up so I got some garlic & herb chicken thighs and mediterranean chicken breast ($8 each) Was checked out by wonderful ladies and can tell it's family oriented and cares about helping people out. Though they are selling at stop and shop I would prefer to go into their store front. Even though the hours are a bit early 7-3.

I love this place. The meat is fresh, and while there's often a language barrier between me and…read morethe butcher, I always end up with what I need. Do yourself a favor and get yourself the sausage here-it's all meat and not a lot of fillers, and different varieties (chicken, pork) are $3.99 a pound. They have various meats marinating as well that I haven't tried. I have purchased beef ribs here and they were a fraction of the cost of what they would have been at a regular grocery store and no where as fresh. The butcher always seems to be the same gentleman whenever I go in and he's always very welcoming and smiling. The rest of the grocery area is great-it's really clean and well stocked and the products are well presented. If you like Coca Cola made with real sugar versus corn syrup, they sell it in glass bottles, as well as a large variety of other imported beverages and products. They have a small amount of produce, and it's all fresh and decent as well. The counter staff is really friendly as well. I whole heartedly endorse shopping here!

I have studied a little Braz Portuguese, and I can tell you a little goes a long way in winning his friendship. If you go in, try saying "bohm jee-ya" (mornings) or "boa tar-jay" (afternoon/early evening). Thank-you is oh-bree-gah-to (if you are a man) or oh-bree-gah-ta (if you are a woman). My Portuguese fell short in getting exactly what I wanted, but he was prepared: he called over the pretty cashier, who is fluent in English, and happy to help. The steak I bought was trimmed BEFORE weighing according to my specifications. It was excellent on the grill. And it wasn't all that expensive for a nice steak.

I ended up with ribeye steaks to serve three. My wife warned me that they were expensive but in my opinion well worth it. I jumped online to see how to cook them and I ended up broiling them. This filled my house with smoke but again well worth the smoke alarm test. The owners of the market were very pleasant and nice to deal with. They cut the three ribeye steaks from a large piece of beef. They were very fresh and delicious. I will definitely be going back to purchase other items from this market. I think it is important to support local businesses like the Maplewood meat market. You just can't get quality food like this in a supermarket.

If the winter and spring don't get you, the Somerville. Okay they definitely are not as good as the sensational spectacular Pastelaria Vitoria just down the road which are the best Pastels I've ever had outside of Brazil. But they are definitely 5-star worthy and extremely cheap and spectacularly friendly and they make extremely good Abacaxi Com Hortela, which is the pineapple mint drink that I love so much. They have all kinds of other good delicious Brazilian goodies and they are cheap and they are authentic and most of all, the woman here is an angel. And she's one of the friendliest people in all of Boston - so there's no way I'm not giving them five stars even though it's only my second best pastel in the city. Note, it's also one of the best in the country because the US has barely any top notch authentic Brasileno Pastels! And if you're wondering which area it's in... it's in the Pastel-area of course!
