O PORTUGUÊS - European Market Inc. — Local services in Redland

So I just called in trying to find out about two products, the person that anwsers, says hello in english, i proceed to ask my question. She goes on to state that she doesn't speak english, I ask is there anyone there that can't, she says no and hangs up. You can understand the question in english and respond in english, but you can't help me? Ridiculous, you won't be getting my money as its a 32 mile drive from my house to the store, thats why I was calling instead of making a wasted run. I can just imagine if your attitude was like that on the phone, what would be your attitude of me entering the store and wasn't a "local" that can't speak portuguese. It's a shame as I just came back from both lisbon and porto and the people were so nice. Guess you all have become to "americanized" huh to...

I can't speak highly enough about the European Market. My Portuguese family has gone there for what feels like decades and there are certain items I can only get here, unless I drive up to NJ or go to Portugal. The Pasteis de Natas are fantastic, Bolo de Berlim equally good. If you like Sumol, they carry cans and big bottles in all flavors. The frozen croquettes are great, as are both the linguica and chouriço, which is very flavorful and fairly priced.

They carry a lot of non-perishable food and drink products, bread, different authentic olive oils, traditional canned sardines etc.

They also seem to have a good range of Brazilian foods, but I know less about that.

Ample parking, easy location, very friendly staff. Not sure if it's owned by the same people anymore, but still...

We went to the Indonesian store next to them because my friend was shopping there. On our way out, we thought we could stop by the store since it is fairly new ( we never seen the store before). So we went in there and the owners didn't even acknowledge us. There were looking at us like we were some thugs or something (full disclosure yes I am AA) and my friend is Asian. She asked if they carried any vegetarian products, the lady at the counter gazed at her as if she was saying "get out of here" indeed they carry a lot of meats, poultry no vegetarian food or products. Bad first experience. We may stop by again next time and see. I hope owner read this and make...
