Similar to other reviews, I don't speak Portuguese & they don't know a lot of English. They do try to answer the question of 'what is it?' We bought a few things. The best for me was the large rolls that were 3 for $1.
Most items were on the sweet side with a unique flavor. We ate everything so nothing was bad. The yellow cake looking pieces were a Yuca cake. I'm still not sure what the 'Yuca' is but she pulled out the package with 'yuca' on it to try to help me understand. The cake was a very moist & sweet yellow cake that was large enough that everyone in the family had a taste. The chocolate cake was not what we are used to either but it was completely eaten as well.
The sweet items are heavy. I don't know what makes them heavy but my guess would be whatever they use for flour. I am not a cook or baker in any language so take that in their favor. The portions are very generous & reasonably priced. We did not try the hot buffet items as we were not there for lunch & I'm quite a picky eater.
I have nothing bad to say about the place except to ask them for an English label on items as well as Portuguese. Next time I'm at the Navy base I will stop in to see what else I can try. We stopped in around 2:30 pm so it was late for a bakery. Hopefully I can get by...

I tried two different savory pastries and a chicken skewer. All were delicious. No table service is provided. English is not their first language. If you want savory for breakfast, get there early, before 9am, for a...
ย ย ย Read moreThe selection was small, but the food was excellent. Their baked goods are also amazing. The staff was friendly, but there is definitely a language barrier that could cause issues for some patrons. I would highly recommend trying the black beans and rice, the best I've had in a long time. Some of the food was a little closer to room temperature than I prefer, but it was still good and fresh. The location is easy to miss if you're not...
