Chamas de Minas Bakery

The Best Brazilian Restaurants in the Northeast | Eater Philly

"At the northernmost point where Castor merges with Bustleton Avenue, I find Chamas de Minas — part bakery, steakhouse, and pizza shop — but the standalone bakery is what sets it apart, offering a wide variety of Brazilian and French breads, rolls, and pastries plus hot items like coxinha and risole (fried risotto balls). I recommend the Brazilian-style carrot cake, which is a more decadent chocolate style that still includes carrots, and pairing any pastry with a cup of imported Pilao coffee — and on the way out don’t forget to say, 'Obrigado e tchau.'" - Amanda Stahl
