The pasty round with cheese and coconut is delicious, light on the coconut for a perfect blend. Then absolutely options for Gluten Free for Yucca or Corn Cake, both very good. And, the Brazilian Cheesy Bread Bites are tasty. They do need to be eaten same day otherwise they harden quickly, overnight; Option, they can be frozen then defrosted. 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.

A place that you would order your birthday cakes, pastries, cookies, breads, deli sandwiches, and of course pan pizza. Alice of pan pizza is a popular breakfast or lunch option! In addition, there are quiches, calzones, these amazing looking loaf cakes, pies, cannoli, deli salads, and much more! Just being open on a Sunday was a huge plus. We need to pick up some sandwiches for an early lunch. We ordered large (only $1 more than small) and they are ginormous! Definitely shareable or enough for a second meal! We ordered a side red potato salad. And of course a pound of cookies / biscotti! Everything tasted great! I hope we have time for a second visit during our trip! It was very busy around 930am on a Sunday morning. Very organized and well staffed for the business. Most were picking up pre-orders (cake, etc.). Ordering sandwiches wasn't an issue that early and pans of pizza were out! Love the East Coast and surely miss it! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Most of the customers seemed like local regulars! That says a lot too! Parking is very easy. Large lot shated with another business. Front and then a larger lot on the side. Nice as most parking in this area (including Marblehead and Salem) is street parking only, very few lots! There are plenty of tables for dining inside. Our next will.be hot sandwiches and/or pan pizza and calzones!

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.
