If you…read morehave Greek people in your life, this place is worth the trip for imported treats and baked goods. I did notice they also had a refrigerated section with prepared foods like pastitsio and moussaka. It's a small shop, but very clean and has very interesting food at every corner. Everything was very fairly priced. The baklava is la carte. I got a small assortment of about 7 small-medium sized pieces of baklava and my total came to under $20. The girl behind the counter assured me that the majority of what I bought stays fresh for weeks or even months and she gave me storage tips for the custard I purchased. I will def be back!

It would be nice to see some additional Gluten Free protein options. Overall good choice for baked goods with a lot more options to taste in the future.

Recently, I was there to buy cupcakes for my son's class. That can be pretty expensive. As I was doing the math, the counter person introduced to me BUNDTINIS! If you are on a budget, this is an ample alternative to their individual sized bundtlets. BUNDTINIS were more than enough is size and stature for my son's class party. The children were equally excited and were sufficiently satisfied. The flavor is still explosive, and a dozen BUNDTINIS are more than half the price of a dozen Bundtlets so he was helpful in offering this alternative. I love this brand, product and location and will keep coming back.

The team LOVED the cake so much that we ended up placing another order for the same week Their customer service is great and everyone is so kind! When it was time for pickup, I was honestly surprised at how big the place actually is. It's a bakery AND a deli, they do catering, and they even have seating inside! The ambience is very New York feeling It literally made me feel like I was back at home. And they really have EVERYTHING in there! They have iced lattes like cookie butter, pumpkin spice, and so many more flavors. Pies, cookies, cakes, pastries, ALLLL the desserts you can think of. Everything looked amazing and I wanted to try one of everything I definitely will be back for a sub, and everything else of course! Bova's Bakery whoooo??

This place has amazing, inexpensive Brazilian goodies galore. They have an extensive menu, printed…read morein Portuguese, which (thank you, babelfish) tells you that the only products available are the ones that are on display that day. Cool. I am totally fine with that. Because everything I've tried from here has been amazing. Sombremesas=Desserts. They have oooeey gooey coconut bars, some peanut buttery things, chocolate mousse, a pudding that tastes like flan with a carmelized top, bon bons galore, cake, caramels, and rice candy...I'm falling into a sugar coma just thinking about it. Over 20 selections are listed on the menu that I can't read, and the most expensive item is the "Pudim Grande"-large pudding- which I'm pretty sure is what they call the flan-like thing. Everything else ranges from $1.50 to $2.50. The treats are different than typical American bakery fare, some are ridiculously sweet and some are very understated. It's a taste adventure I recommend embarking on. Salgados=Salty (this is the heading on the menu). Ha! That's an accurate way to describe the treats listed here. Pretty much you will find an assortment of fried goodness...Croquete de Presunto e Queijo (Ham & Cheese Croquettes), Empadas filled with chicken, ham, beef, or cod, plus a bunch of other turnover-like meat pockets of goodness. I've had a round one filled with very flavorful chicken & cream cheese, a ham & cheese one, a steak one....all delish. The prices range from $1.90 to $2.85, with one outlier at a whopping $3.50. All very filling & not too too greasy. There are hot sauce & mayonaisse packets available if you are so inclined. A cheap lunch (or munchie fix) for sure. My friend & I like to grab a couple sweets & a couple salties (If they call em that, I'm calling em that. Dammit), drive to the beautiful cemetery right down the street, split everything in half, and stuff our faces. Last time we spent about $8.00 and couldn't even finish all our goodies. There is also a large selection of breads for sale (got 4 ham & cheese rolls for $1.00 one time) and apparently they make sandwiches...the language barrier prevented me from realizing this when I was there; I'm excited to try one once I translate the menu. Also there are "Polpas"-which translates to pulps...which according to the fine print can be mixed with water or milk. I'll be trying one of those, too. Probably the abacaxi (pineapple). Yum. To wrap this up: This place is great. It can be a little hard to find because the store is not very clearly marked: look for slightly tinted plate glass windows. They have all that I mentioned above plus coffee, a buffet on the second Saturday of the month, Brazilian candies & other products you can't find many places. There is also a very friendly and accommodating staff. If you ask them what's good or what is inside something they will help you out. Live a little. Visit Chocolate Bakery.
