¡Dios mio que Rico! Quaint little coffee shop serving custom made cakes and Portuguese pastries. All items are winners. The empanadas are big. Two roasted chicken empanadas make for a quick meal. They take pride in the smallest details...you can tell by the coffee they serve. It is your usual americano coffee...but it is not acidic at all (like starbucks), and it goes smoothly to wash down the flan and the custard pies. I recommend the chicken croquettes (shredded roasted chicken well seasoned). I loved them. read more

Awesome! For the "sweet or sour tooth" who will not soon forget the cakes, pasteries, salgados, salgadinhos and much more Gio Docinhos Cafe has raised the bar! Service is excellent, the cafe environment is inviting and after you have enjoyed the experience if you need a train to NYC it's just a short walk away! I absolutely recomend you not miss this "jewel"! read more

I asked for a recommendation and the staff didn't hesitate to help with a smile. They clearly loved what they do and treated each item with care. The shop looked well kept, and I noticed them wiping tables after every customer. I got the lemon blueberry scone it was zesty, fluffy, and had real fruit pieces. Clean packaging sealed the deal. I highly recommend this place. read more

Picked up their fried spicy cheese croquette aka coxinha and this sweet treat called beijinho de coco that reminds me of the Philippines because it's made of coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Also got iced matcha latte with oat milk. Fast service. Comfy wonderful interior. read more

I just wanted to say how happy I am to find Gio Docinhos! First of all, I loved the store design, it's so beautiful. I ordered different Brazilian truffles for my oldest son's wedding ceremony, all the guests just loved them! They were delicious and so well presented. And then, for my youngest son wedding shower, I ordered the passion fruit mousse, which was a delight! Everybody just loved it, people asking me for the recipe, and going for the second round. So, I will ordering it again for his wedding and of course, more of those little delicious sweets! Thank you for that and for the excellent care of the staff and workers! read more

Elegant and sophisticated Brazilian confectionary shop and bakery. Very easy to miss, and fairly tiny, but the interior is incredibly charming and the staff friendly. They are known for their decorated cakes, sweets, and Brazilian confections, popular for birthday parties. They have the largest selection of Brazilian confectionaries that I've ever seen, with over 15+ varieties of sweets/brigadeiros. They are all labeled by flavor, from beijinho (coconut kisses), leite ninho (powdered condensed milk), romeo and juliet (guava and cheese), cajuzinho, and many more. They are bite sized, and all delicious and unique! Check them out and try as many as you dare! read more

I can't thank Gio and her staff enough for the superb service at my wedding. Her delicious Brazillian truffles and wedding cake are just the best quality deserts I have ever had! I've been a customer of her store for years and knew she would not disappoint on my big day! My guests were very surprised at how flavorful the wedding cake was, and I still receive compliments on it! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIO for any event. Thank you!!! read more

Adorable little bakery in Newark. You can tell it's genuinely Brazilian by the people that work there and the types of desserts that you can find. No one really spoke English, but it was simple enough to just point to what you want. We tried the 4 leches and churro cake and both were amazing. There's no place to sit, so you'd have to take whatever you get to go, but their cakes hold up pretty well even after a few hours! When I was there, it seems like there was a couple there ordering a wedding cake (or something of that nature) so I guess they do custom orders as well. read more

This review is solely based on terrible terrible customer service. Unfortunately, I never got to try the actual deserts. I came in to order a simple cake. A kind lady was helping us. Someone else walked in and was being helped, it's impossible to not listen as the place is tiny, they messed up the date for his cake. That was first thing that alarmed me. Then who I assume was the owner, Gio, abruptly and rudely comes out and tells us her team is too busy to help and asked for us to come back. I told her we can't as we live too far, she said she can call so we can discuss details. 6 days after we scheduled a phone call, I'm still waiting. Extremely unprofessional. It was something very simple I wanted, so now I have taken my business elsewhere and for much cheaper price. She wants $120 for a naked cake, which is a joke. Go to any other place and you'll pay half that , with good customer service and can order quickly. Save your time. read more

Ordered an amazing Brazillian cake from Gio for my Mother's birthday party. The gringos never tasted such exotic flavor combinations before. It was a big hit. I will be ordering all my special occasion cakes from them. The staff was very nice..especially Thiago read more

Heaven on Earth? Yes. This is the place. The Brazilian chocolate truffles known as "Brigadeiros" were absolutely divine. They have many options, and something for every taste. Chocolate covered strawberries, and some of the most beautiful cakes. read more

I am so Happy I chose Gio Docinhos to get my wedding cake done, it was the cake of my dreams. Everybody in my wedding loved it! The cake was beautiful and the taste amazing! I even ordered some Pāes de mel (a Brazilian desert) for my wedding too, they were amazing as well, they came in wrapped on lace with a turquoise bow. They will do everything the way you want, even better :) If you are thinking about getting your cake for the wedding done or anything, you should definitely do it with Gio Docinhos. read more

Giodocinhos is a delicious treat! I'm so glad she opened up her own store. I don't live in New Jersey, but I would come here all the way from RI just to have some Brazilian treats (specifically brigadeiros) made by Gio. My family has used her services for kids birthday parties for a few years now and she's never failed us. Always delicious, always well done. Bravo! read more

We have been hearing about Giodocinhos for a while now and I finally had the time to stop by. What an experience... To start, great service starts your journey at this beautiful location and then you get to feast your eyes on all the goodies, as the presentation in the store is amazing and this is all before you get home and get taken on this flavor rollercoaster that awakens all your taste buds. With all that said, simply amazing. Much continued success. read more
