Fresh everything! Great service, low prices and a calm, modern, inviting, air-conditioned seating area. Exactly what more could we ask?

Would come back for their Pastèis de Nata (Portuguese egg tarts) any day! And they can heat it up for you upon request too. It was flaky crisp, the custard was fantastic with the right sweetness, and wasn't greasy despite all the buttery crust layers. I also tried their Brazilian chocolate balls (chocolate & condensed milk) which was super sweet. And Pata de Viado (sponge cake with coconut, egg yolky cream & cinnamon) which had interesting flavours buttt the sponge cake was on the drier side. Overall, lots of Brazilian & Portuguese pastry selection and everything was very reasonably priced ! read more

Very good food and coffee, middling to terrible service. Today was the worst yet. My friend and I stood at the coffee station for 10 minutes while three employees went in and out of the area without even acknowledging we were there. Finally I asked one of the employees if they could take our order, and he rudely replied, "Well, I'm doing another order right now!" We left. We're never going back. read more

Very happy to see this local Brazilian bakery is alive and kicking through this crazy time. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and patient with me as I walked through the space wondering what to get. I saw a few things I was eager to try on the savoury end the coxinha made with chicken and the other pastry made with fish , pasteis I think it's called. Both tasty! The highlight for me was their version of the morning buns. One of the best french buns I've had in this city. The perfect crust on the outside and so soft and fluffy inside. Really enjoyed them! Definitely going back for those. I had wanted to buy some pao de quejos, cheese buns but they are only available on weekends! So one of these days .... I will get some. read more

Such a great vibe and the place is looking amazing after a refresh. Staff are nice. Seems like so many regulars. So much kindness read more

Brazil Bakery and Pastry - Great for journaling - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A 24 hour bakery? Yes, please! Brazil Bakery and Pastry is a large bakery/lunch spot in West Dundas. They, of course, make the best of pastries and munchies from Brazil, but they also bake fresh bread and pastries. If you like donuts, order their chocolate sprinkle donut. It has a slight lemon taste to it, but after a few bites, you're hooked. It's cheap, moist, and sooooo good! When we visited Toronto, we'd go here daily...literally. read more

My friend told me that people from Brazil are known as "Brazzers", I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, perhaps one of you can tell me. Whatever they are called, they make freaking amazing Pasteis De Nata. What to get: Pasteis De Nata, a Sumol Orange drink, maybe more. What else: A Pasteis De Nata is a Portuguese Custard Tart, and it will cost you next to Nata. I've been in love with Brazilian/Portuguese Custard Tarts for years now, ever since I first discovered them in... damn, I can't even remember where. Possibly in Toronto itself at Golden Wheat Bakery. This place makes an excellent version, not perhaps as perfect as my faves at Progress, Brick Street and Golden Wheat, but it's right up there and easily a five-star bakery. It's flaky, with a very thin but doughy crust. If you're lucky for the Dutch bakery you're on the wrong side of the street. You should head over to Pastry Dutchy on the left hand side. This place is huge (like... never mind) with tons of other options, and masses of drink choices imported from Portuguese-speaking countries such as the excellent Sumol Orange Soda (makes any orange soda made in America taste like crap, which they do anyway - try it), and Guarana sodas of course. Service is nice, the place is busy and spacious and friendly, prices are okay (not cheap by any means), and it really feels like a little corner of Brazil in the middle of Toronto, which granted is a very Brazilian-influenced city. And if your underwear is feeling poorly, count yourself lucky because I have it worse. My bra's ill. read more

Brazil Bakery and Pastry - $2 - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5 stars for the Pateis de Nata ... I know its Portuguese Custard Tarts but guess what, the Brazilians did a pretty good job. I've been trying all the Portuguese Custard Tarts in the area and my current reigning favourite is Venezia with Novita, Caldense, and Nova Era all serving up decent versions. Brazil Bakery is a large cafe with a take out bakery on the East side with the west side having all the tables and seating. There is a lot of space so you're never feeling crowded and there windows do offer a lot of natural light in so it's not too dark and cave like. The bakery does feel a bit dated but in a good way. It's like time stood still when everyone would come in for their coffee and pateis de nata first thing in the morning before heading into Toronto or on Sundays after church. The bakery offers a lot of breads and they're all baked in house. Lots of loaves or buns to choose from the many many racks. They also have lots of cakes pre made for you or the many sweets ... there is a mountain of cakes, tarts, and cookie types. Pateis de Nata - For only $2.80, you get 2 freshly made custard tarts. That's right... for less then a cup of coffee at a good spot, you get 2 of these! It's a complete steal especially when across the street you have to pay $5.50 for 1 tart. Anyhow, these are quite nice... crispy crust that flakes and shatters when you bite into it. An oozy centre that is more like a molten cake than any firm eggy custard. It was a novel approach and i do like it. As for flavour, I found the custard to be sweeter than Venezia and more generically one note (just sweet). I didnt taste any egg or vanilla. Still a great pateis de nata! 3.5/5 Definitely come for the super affordable and well made tarts... grab a large loaf while your'e add it. I saw they do make fresh donuts but they werent there during the week day. You'll be served quickly and be enjoying your custards with a few pieces of change in your pocket. read more

This would be my first time having a Portuguese tart outside of a Chinese bakery that also made egg tarts. I find that egg tarts and Portuguese tarts are very similar. I went into Little Portugal to find these more legitimate tarts to see if I liked them. The woman who took my order was extremely kind and helpful and recommended I also try a milk tart when I asked what else I should try. I ordered a few Portuguese tarts and milk tarts. The portuguese tart was sweeter than the egg tart of Hong Kong which is totally fine by me. It was good and I definitely can confirm that I like Portuguese tarts. The milk tart was even sweeter than the Portuguese tart and to be honest, I have no idea how to explain the taste. For this one, it might have been a little too sweet for me. read more

PLEASE READ NOTICE TO THE END. Yesterday my sister Sandy went to this bakery in Dundas and Sheridan to buy a sweet bread last night her husband cut a slice and ate it without knowing there was something wrong with it... this morning after my sister woke up she made a cup of coffee she was going to sit down to cut a slice of sweet bread for herself and was disgusted by what she found in the bread was a huge COCKOROACH that was baked in bread this is unacceptable. Today she went there to talk to the manager and told her what happened the woman was in shock she said she would take care of the problem my sister said if she did not she said to the lady that will call health and safety board will have an update tomorrow on what is happening this is so disgusting read more

When I worked at Dundas and Lansdowne, this was my bakery for lunch, coffee, etc. The homemade soup and veal sandwiches with tomato sauce and onions are good, but the pastries tend to be hard as they are kept in the fridge for too long instead of being constantly replenished. The Espresso and lattes are good, but the latter is rather small for the price. If you are in the area and want a coffee or a quick lunch. this place is acceptable. The service is less than spectacular as the waitresses are moody, but otherwise, good to go. Prices are generally acceptable overall. This place also tends to lack the hipsters that infest some of the surrounding businesses, which is a positive. It instead caters to the blue collar Portuguese and Brazilians in the area, a group of patrons that do not annoy me. read more

Randomly stopped in here while walking in the area one day and the pastries caught my eye from the window. I've tried a few of them and they're super yummy! They have a big variety of pastries and breads and I always have a tough time in choosing what to take home. The egg tarts can be a bit on the sweeter side, but they remind me of the burnt parts of toasted marshmallows (which I love). I've definitely made this place one of my go to places for when I'm having a sweet tooth. Also, the fact that they're open late is a bonus! read more

The nata is sweet, and has a custard of a nice consistency. The shell is crunchy and softly flaky. Great to eat on a warm summer day. Get six natas to get them tax free, which is good, but you may want to share the six natas with two or three friends. Despite the more rugged exterior, the jnside is clean and well furnished. Next time I go to Brazil Bakery I will try some of their other baked goods which also look good read more

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. read more

This is a great place in an area that doesn't have many places to grab a quick bite. My favourite thing is the ability to walk in grab a fresh bun from the racks, go up to the counter and get them to make a turkey sandwich. They slice the meat to order and pack it with tomato, lettuce and Havarti cheese. The best part it's under $5! The have a great selection of grab and go items like cod cakes, chicken balls and meat patties. You can also just order meat and cheese like you would at the deli counter to make you own sandwiches. You can grab coffee/libation and sit down for a meal as well. read more

I saw very good review and I tried. It was a nice bakery. They had varieties of products and I could find Brazilian type pastries even Brazilian custard puddings. Their prices are very good. I am not sure about their qualities and taste of pastries. I had been trying Brazilian pastries in many different countries, and I do not think this Brazil Bakery and Pastry is the best. read more

Fantastic. Huge selection, cheap, and authentic. The custard tarts are the best, but don't be afraid to try everything else (although that would take a while). Not cool, not trendy - just good. read more

Now that donuts are trendy in Toronto, don't waste your time going elsewhere and paying $3 for a small and dry one with hipster toppings and flavours. The donuts here are simple, perfect, and cheap! Cornbread, cod fritters, and custard tarts are all very good quality. One problem is that there are so many items that look delicious and if you have questions the staff isn't always adequately fluent in English. read more

This is one of my all time favourite bakeries. Their breads are good and their pasteis de nada quite good. They are better at the breads (in my opinion) than the pastries. For authentic Portuguese pastries I go to Doce Minho on Dufferin. Counter staff at Brazil Bakery are always helpful and polite. Love their bread buns. read more

First and foremost, this place is awesome. Now let me reiterate - as another pointed out - if you're looking for fancy toppings on your hipster donut than this place isn't for you. They serve up decadent pastries and their buns are always fresh and fluffy. Prices are very reasonable by any standards. I brought a dozen custards to a dinner and they were a complete hit (crunchy on the outside an silky smooth on the inside). FTW. read more

The basic run down of this place is when you walk in there is a bakery type counter on the right side selling everything from cured meats to desserts and various baked goods, and then bread racks up by the front window. The left hand side of the entrance, serves as the cafe and restaurant. I've come here a few times, most recently as a friend wanted to grab a coffee to go, which I believe was about $1.75 for a medium take out cups worth, and the coffee received a good review. The have pre-made sandwiches in the fridge near the bakery side for $3.80 which are good if you need something quick and on the go (albeit a bit bland due to a lack of sauce). They also have decent paninis and sandwiches that can be made on order from the cafe counter for a couple bucks more. The flavours of everything I've had were good but not generally impressive. But for what you're paying, it's all perfectly fine. In full disclosure, I've never been a big fan of their baked breads. I've found that they are way too crusty and dry. I understand there is a natural crustiness normally associated to Portuguese bread, but this stuff just seems overly unworkable. I've also had mediocre results with some of the desserts which didn't seem fresh as they should've been, but that was usually when buying snacks in the evening that likely were made at the start of the day. All in all, the place is pretty cheap and what I would define as decent but not great. 3 stars! read more

I think they have the best custard tarts in the city. It's the pastry, thin and crisp, perfect texture for a massive amount of custard (perfectly caramelized on top) read more

This is one of those places that is filled with Brazilian and Portuguese patrons from the neighborhood all the time. It's my go-to bakery for fresh buns, Portuguese sweet bread and a whole lot of yummy treats. Unlike other yuppie places charging $3 for tarts, this bakery will only take a dollar from you. Desserts are old style, made by one of those mommy-types in the kitchen. Try them with an espresso. If you can excuse the staff's influency in English you'll discover that this is a place you end up being loyal patrons of. read more

While the desserts are great, the service is horrible. No one complies with the mask mandate. The employees leisurely engage in chatter with customers not wearing masks, instead of telling them to put on a damn mask. People also stand way too close to one another. We are still in the midst of a pandemic and they seem to have forgotten that. Sad considering so many customers are elderly. read more

We went to this place last Saturday and was amazed at the variety of pastries, custard tarts and bread. However, their customer service sucks. Not sure if the reason was being busy due to the street festival but that's still unacceptable being in the retail bakery business. I hope the management will find time to train their employee's good customer satisfaction. Their products look good but service wise needs improvement BIG TIME ! read more

There are many fresh baked breads and treats here. 1/2 of it is set up like a "to go" bakery - the other half is a tiny cafe where you can sit down and a waitress will come to your table and serve you. On that half they have a TV playing with Brazilian or Portuguese television shows. As like a lot of places in the Dufferin and Dundas area, this place is very influenced by Portugal. Even though it is "Brazil Bakery" - it is more of a Portugal bakery. read more

Great food. However, as a portuguese bakery, I think they should have labels for their pastries and food products. instead of knowing the name of the product of what I want, I can only describe to them what it looks like. It has caused some confusion and I didn't always get what I asked for. Also, if you want a grilled cheese and ham sandwitch, it would take about 10 mins to prepare and grill it, so not a quick grab and go type of food. But the food is awesome and their prices are not bad. read more

One of my favorite bakeries I like to go to! If you ask me, you are not going to find much better custards in Toronto, or any Portuguese or Brazilian pastries better than the ones they have. They have a wide variety of pastries, ranging from cakes, to custards, to donuts. I am also a big fan of the cod fish balls which are fantastic with their traditional flaky bread they have. This is always the bakery I go to when I pick up pastries for parties. Moreover, I recommend you come here for dessert. Try a custard!
