I reached out this morning to place a large order but wanted 1 sweet item and 1 savory item in every bag! #Spreadingjoythrufood was bringing snack treats to Lowell Fire houses! They were so accommodating and pleasant to work with! Their online ordering thru Facebook even gave 20% off your 1st order! The smell as you walk in was so sweet and the fresh baked breads and pastries looked great!! I always look forward to Pastel De Nata on every holiday with my in-laws! The are sweet flakey custard tarts! And for our Savory section I picked Coxinha (Chicken croquettes), Risole de Presumto e Queijo (ham & cheese Croquettes) and Pastel de Carne (fried puff with beef) With 50 of these bags in my car I was so hungry delivering our city fire fighters!! read more

See all

Oh my! Do you crave moist yet firm Portuguese white corn bread, malasadas, and beautiful Brazilian baked confections? Get here!!!

I have gone there for many years. Their products are fresh and very tasty. The staff has always been accommodating and friendly.

Tried some Portuguese tarts from here- they did not taste very good. There are better shops in Chinatown Boston

Just got some pastry, which were just OK, but only because they were puff pastry based, which make a mess. Breads and rolls looked awesome

I love going to Portuguese bakeries for the sweet smell of fresh baked goods. Most bakeries I've been to close up early, but this bakery was still open around 6PM when I rolled in here on a weeknight. Bonus! Since there are no Portuguese bakeries in Manchester NH, this was a small treat for me. There are two display cases filled with a good selection of assorted pastries, sweet rolls, and cakes and a center table stocked with bagged Portuguese breads, rolls, cookies, and other assorted baked goods. They also serve coffee plus there's table seating in front. I had the Creme Puff Pastry filled with creamy egg custard ($1.50), very similar to the Chinese egg custard pie, which went well with my coffee. read more

Lowell Portuguese Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

I love love authentic foods! These little joint is amazing!! I am definitely coming back for more.

I love this place! The pastries are delicious and super affordable!! Can't find great tasting snacks like this anywhere else for the price. Ladies are always nice and place is clean. Love it! read more

I love to support local businesses whenever possible, especially if they are in my hometown! Despite growing up in the area (and being away for a significant period of time), I drove past this bakery God knows how many times, but finally stopped in to check out their pastries. I tried the pastel de nata (original and lemon). The lemon seemed to have a 'lil more filling in them, but they were tasty. If they were served a 'lil warmer, I think that would have earned the 5th star for me. The server behind the counter was also very nice. Would like to stop in and try some of the other pastries and breads they have! read more

They have great customer service, the prices are reasonable, the coffee is absolutely delicious, the breads are deliciously bake and tasty along with some other items. I'm not Portuguese but I would strongly recommend this bakery. read more

The bread here is amazing. The croquettes are as well - I remember eating frozen ones when I was a kid, but these are a totally different experience. Amazing! Worth coming down from Manchester, NH! read more

Until a friend referred me, I had no idea this wonderful bakery existed. Entering I was warmly greeted by a gentleman like I was entering his home. I decided on an assortment of pastries & also some bread. All we're packaged well for travel so I could bring them for a dessert to a friend's house. After dinner when it was time to open the box & arrange the pastry on a platter, I could see my hostess/ host were both very pleased. Well, we all devoured the entire platter...all absolutely delectable! I cant add which was my favorite as each one was different that we shared. I've been back since a few times & my new " friend" has been as cordial as he was for my first visit. I can highly recommend this bakery read more

This place sucks. They claim to have malasadas on the weekends, but never do. I drove 15 miles based on the good reviews but the first time I went the girl said it was coming later in the day. I ended up buying a sweet bread and some pastries and went home. A few weeks later I went back and the same girl said that she hasn't seen the malasadas in a few weeks. So disappointing but it's not worth 4.5 stars. read more

Yes indeed, this is a good ethnic bakery. Their sweets are delish, and their savories are wonderful too. I've gotten chourico stuffed rolls and various other goodies. Last year I needed a platter of assorted things for an international event and thought of this place. I visited, placed my order for 6 of these, 12 of those, and make it 2 dozen of these...things were fresh and nicely packed when I picked up my order. read more

You gotta try their bread that has cornmeal mixed into the batter. Sorry, I don't know the Portuguese name for it. It's not cornbread. It's bread that is wonderfully chewy because it has cornmeal in the dough. It's a small, reasonably priced bake shop. It's worth it to travel to that scary part of Lowell (in the daytime, anyway). read more

The only thing I would change about this place if I could, would be to make it stay open 24/7! The pastel and coxinhas fried upon request is amazing! So fresh tasting. The only bakery that really compares to bakery's from Newark New Jersey! And their bread with coconut and condensed milk is amazing! I hope they never change! Unless it's to stay open 24/7! Recommend to anyone! read more

Definitely the only place I will ever go to for all of my bakery needs. Their bread is outstanding. The slagadinhos are top notch. Ham and cheese on bread is the simplest thing ever but they make it seem like there is some type of magic to it. Love love love the pastries. All around best bakery I've been to, and also very well priced while not compromising on the amazing quality. If you're craving a nice breakfast, some bread, salgadinhos, or if you just have a sweet tooth and want some fresh pastries, I would not recommend anywhere else. read more

I am disappointed about the pastel de natas. They did not have enough filling for taste. They were not delicious. They need to improve, by making good pastel de natas, by putting a little more filling. read more

I have tried ordering from them the past two holidays, and both never happened. I call a week in advance to put in a small order, but everyone who picks up does not seem to speak English and can't correctly put in an order (even while using the Portuguese terms for the food). The person pretended to put in a Thanksgiving order because when I called to confirm the day before the holiday, they had no record of it. No clue what happened with the Christmas order... someone else who could not speak English put in an order and said they were open on Christmas (when they aren't). Called today to confirm and the person also sounded confused; i was placed on hold for 10 minutes while the counter-girl talked to her coworkers before just hanging up on me. This hadn't been a problem before this year so no clue if there are new people working. The food is still great but the service has been horrendous for me... read more

Have been a customer there for years now. Fantastic Artisan Breads. Great Delicacies, and pastries. They have been doing great things recently. Every time I go there, I have a good experience. Very Authentic feeling with great service. read more

Bakery has gone down hill in the last couple of years. For example a couple of weeks ago I was craving breakfast sandwiches from there, it took a week of going in every day to get one. On the 1st day they had no cheese, the second day still no cheese, the 3rd and 4th day they had no ham but finally had cheese, on the last day the girl tried to tell us they had no bread. I almost lost my mind, a bakery with no bread.... She clarifies that they only have the small breads and not the regular one, I request 2 small sandwiches then and with a little attitude I finally get my long awaited sandwich! read more

They re-opened! So I was thinking this would be a better experience! I went in and the same thing. I literally went in there for the same thing I went in there for last year. I went to get an Egg, Cheese and Bacon sandwich. The girl was like we don't have cheese or bacon, we just re-opened! She was kind of young so in my head I go "Just re-opened! Shouldn't you be fully stocked and ready for people to come in". Plus I saw people in the place the night before getting ready. I couldn't believe that they still aren't selling sandwiches or anything else besides bread and desserts. I understand it is a bakery but again just going off the bakery I use to go to in Worcester. They are losing out on extra money. 1 Star because the coffee isn't bad. read more

The products they offer are amazing. Fresh and great flavor, but I feel as if customer service could be somewhat better. Other than that, great food options. read more

Love the small bread in the morning and the Portuguese Sweet Bread. There are also quite a variety of portuguese and brazilian sweets. Some Brazilian food products are sold here too, like the famous Guarana soda. There are a few places to sit and have your coffee with you morning paper. The only accept credit if the purchase is $10 or higher. read more

Their sweetbread is the BEST. My husband is Portuguese and from RI, which has many amazing Portuguese bakeries, but his favorite sweetbread is this one. Great neighborhood bakery. read more

This is by far one of my favorite bakeries in the area, every time I go I tend to ask what just came out of the ovens recently and get at least two of whatever that was. The breads are awesome too and so flavorful read more

I'm not sure how to spell Popsic?? (Portuguese rolls) But damn are they good. By the way, I've had Popsic from many a bakery from different Portuguese areas in the states, they might make the best. read more

When i walked in and up to the pastry case all i wanted was a piece of cheesecake (pregnancy craving) normally i go to another place but they were closed due to holiday so i figured let me give this place a try. The girl says "everything is nice and fresh i just put everything out "... Umm fresh?? The "fresh" strawberries are wilted and moldy ! So i Opted for something different that looked fresh.... I went with an egg custard (nata) and some coconut custard looking thing... Not impressed! They werent fresh at all. The dough was gummy and the fillings were dry. The sweet bread was the only thing that was good. If i do come back it would only be for the sweet bread. but highly doubt ill be back in. read more

Really fast and reliable service, and their breakfast sandwiches are absolutely to die for. The bread here is always fresh and I've never been disappointed with them. Great bakery! read more

I went to this bakery for some European pastries. Superbly impressed... Traditional Portuguese desserts... Impeccable
