I had the pleasure of visiting Casa Manioca & Caramelly Pastry here in London, Ontario, and I can honestly say it was one of the most delightful food experiences I’ve had in a long time. I actually went because a friend of mine works here, and I’m so glad they introduced me to this hidden gem—it truly feels like a slice of Brazil right in the city.
The first thing that stood out to me was the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and take time to explain the different Brazilian snacks and desserts, which was very helpful since some of the items were new to me. You can really feel the passion behind the food, and that makes the whole experience even more special.
Now, onto the food—the star of the show. Everything that I had was absolutely addictive:
What impressed me most was the authenticity, you can tell everything is made with care, using quality ingredients, and staying true to Brazilian tradition. It’s rare to find a spot that combines both comfort and novelty, but Casa Manioca & Caramelly Pastry does exactly that.
If you’re in London and looking for something unique and delicious, I highly recommend stopping by. Whether you’re craving savory snacks, decadent sweets, or just want to try something new, this place will not disappoint. I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’ll bring more friends along so they can...

I am a gringa so I didn’t know coxinhas only come with chicken. They were actually a mix of, coxinhas, bolinha de queijo, risoles de carne. I went back and the woman immediately said (before I had a chance to speak), “what did I do wrong?” Her presence was not friendly and she made me feel small and like I had done something wrong. My wife is Brazilian and I was trying to get her a bunch of coxinhas, the large ones. I felt like I was taken advantage of for being a gringa. Too bad for them that I do speak a bit of Portuguese 😂Lol. Definitely look for another Brazilian place (there are better ones in the city) if you’d like to try out Brazilian snacks (They will also help you understand what you are ordering and...
Read moreWent to this mall as I was visiting the city. This Brazilian bakery has the perfect combination of the best Brazilian treats: cakes, brigadeiros, and savories. I tried this chocolate cake filed with a white chocolate mousse... "absolutely delicious!" Perfect balance between sweet and moisture. Their "Pão de Queijo" (cheese bread) comes with melted cheese on top, which makes this snack unique. The owners are Brazilian and just opened their front store in this mall! If you want to try a popular Brazilian snack and delicious and fresh cakes and brigadeiros, you should come to their store. It has tables and chairs, right in front of the store, so you can buy your treats, sit and enjoy. Staff is very friendly, price is affordable! Parking and accessibility for wheelchair are offered.
