Pão Brasil Bakery

I've grabbed food from the buffet before, but it was my first time trying the açaí. The buffet is extensive and everything I’ve tried tastes great. But that açaí….its the best açaí I’ve had in Massachusetts. Update 11/9: This place is a hidden gem. I’ll drive the 20 minutes on any given day for this quality.

Friendly staff, tasty food, and a fun vibe — plus lots of parking! I originally came here just for the açaí bowl- so fresh and creamy, with a refreshing berry flavor, and that pure joy of digging into milk powder and condensed milk : ) I also tried their buffet and bakery items — both are fantastic!

This is Brazilian buffet with Brazilian meat. It’s cut off the rotisserie They have a very eclectic buffet. They have everything. But I have to tell you that they have this dessert. It’s unbelievable delicious. There’s no other place I’ve ever had that has this, and I would describe it as a spongy soft moist cake. This really light textured mouse and chocolate. It is a TEN. 10!

When we lived in Natick MA last year, this used to be my go-to place to buy fresh pastries and cakes! The nutella shortcake, carrot cake and the fruit bread are my favorites! A lot of local (Brazilian) ppl visit here so I know it's very good!

The food here is truly amazing, which is why this is so hard for me to write. My experiences with customer service have left me feeling hurt and uncomfortable. I usually come here with my sisters, and on one visit we were given a bag to carry our food. While walking to the parking lot right outside the entrance, the bag tore completely. Our drinks spilled, the food fell onto the ground, and what was left was soaked. When we came back to explain what happened, an employee did offer to replace the drink, but said the food could not be remade—even after clearly seeing the ripped bag and the food spilled in the parking lot. That was really disappointing. On a different visit, I stopped in to grab a quick meal. My card declined, and instead of handling the situation privately and with understanding, the employee discussed it openly with another worker. I was told I needed to call someone to pay or the food would be thrown away. What hurt the most was when he then asked my younger sister—who was visiting me from foster care—if she could pay for my food. That moment was incredibly uncomfortable and embarrassing, and it crossed a line. I understand concerns about food waste, and I truly respect that, but the way this was handled lacked empathy and professionalism. I’m doing the best I can while taking on adult responsibilities and trying to support my younger siblings, and that interaction left me feeling judged instead of understood. This has been one of the few places I could afford to bring my sisters, and it meant something to us. While the food is wonderful, I don’t feel comfortable returning unless there is more care, compassion, and professionalism shown to customers.

Servers were very nice wish i could say the same about the food.. i ordered a chicken pastel and the inside was cold.. Luckily the owner of the place was here and i easily went up to him and explained my issue. I also work with food so i completely understand that since it was close to closing time workers must be tired. The only thing was that i was not the only customer, there were about 15 other people in the bakery… He offered me a new one and which was fine and i understood.. The only problem was that the 2ND pastel was not only also RAW but half empty!!! The owner was so so nice and gave me a full refund.. Hopefully they take this and moving forward can better the quality.

Food was fantastic and staff was super friendly! During their busier times it can be hard to find seating and move around the small space. But quick service and reasonably priced :) will be coming back again!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pão Brasil Bakery, and I can confidently say that the experience was nothing short of remarkable. The food is absolutely delicious—authentic, juicy, fresh, and well-cooked. Every bite was mouth-watering, leaving me craving more. The atmosphere is wonderfully chill and relaxing, with a vibrant buzz of background noise that creates a fun environment for chatting with friends about anything and everything. I truly felt at home. Additionally, the pricing is extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality of the dishes. After indulging in this nourishing and satisfying food, I felt as if my heart had been reborn. I can't wait to return! In fact, I’m tempted to redirect the funds I had set aside for airfare to Brazil and instead regularly indulge in the culinary delights at this amazing bakery. Why take a long flight only to endure subpar American airplane food before being pleasantly culture shocked in Brazil when I can enjoy the flavors of Brazil and immerse myself in its culture right here? Pão Brasil Bakery has won my heart, and I plan to visit a million times.

Great Brazilian bakery! I stopped in to pick up some Brazilian pastries for a coworkers birthday and ended up going back twice in the same day to get more because I couldn't narrow down my selection. The employees were very friendly and patient with me as I asked questions and tried to figure out what to order. Everything I bought was DELICIOUS and a huge hit with my coworkers. There wasn't a crumb leftover.

Amazing ambiance - good for a group of 4-6 people. I loved their Tres Le Ches, it's of my favourite. Also they serve epic strawberry shortcake. A lot of employees work here and hence the service is quick.

Good service The food is really good And the environment is nice Will go back cause i love me some Brazilian food

Overall rating: 3.5 stars Food: Brazilian pastries and beverages as well as a hot food bar Texture: smooth and soft chocoflan, jiggly also got chocolate fudge cake which was rice too Pricing: $5-8 per dessert Ambiance: walk in restaurant with booths and counters of hot food and desserts on display Seating & Parking:booth and table seating, decent amount of parking since it's in Framingham Service: not rude but not spectacular Music: songs in portugese and spanish Bathrooms: male and female bathrooms Final comments: authentic food and desserts, my friend who is from Brazil said it tasted similar to her home town, meanwhile the desserts reminded me of when I visited way back when!

Many bakery and hot food bar by the pound take out options. Very busy location especially late afternoon and early evening but maintains speedy service. I opted for more savory/bread options but would love to try their desserts, especially their chocoflan. Location ~5 minute walk from the Framingham commuter line station. Parking lot available.

It is my go to Brazilian lunch place. Food is delicious and affordable. There is usually a line during lunch time which moves very fast. I usually get some salad, rice and meat stew from the general buffet before heading to the grill area with lots of meat to choose from. I really like the beef rib! The flan in the dessert area is also great.

I was in the Framingham area for business and thank god there was a bridge closed cause that detour brought me to Pao brazil bakery.. I knew for sure they will have my cheese bread!! If you haven't tried Pao de queso (cheese bread) its a must, little tiny golf ball looking rolls with cheese. I got 6pcs for $2 and i ate them in 30,seconds so bomb!! Also they had breaded chicken on a stick, they looked like nuggets but they were way better, crunchy and fresh nice treat and filled me up.. lets point out what this place is and anyone reading the bad review's its true no one speaks English here so I had to use my portugese speaking skills. LOL everyone was very friendly, place was so packed cause its more than just a bakery, they have a full buffet bar with tons of food, everyhing is weighed, upon paying..plenty of tables to sit, place was clean and I love everything brazil so its gets 5 stars. hopefully I am back in the area I will plan a visit for a sit down lunch and try everything they got..

Average. It definitely reminded me of Brazil, specially the low quality of service by the cashier.

So I had a friend recommend this place to me and I thought I would give it a try and I have to say it did not disappoint at all the food is absolutely amazing when I was there the place was jammed packed and despite that the owner William took the time to go through everything on the menu with me despite being extremely busy so I want to give a shout out to William and save thank you for that I really do appreciate it and again this is a place that you must go to if you want really good authentic Portuguese food

I love this Brazilian bakery! They offer so many varieties here...little brazilian snacks, chocolate from Brazil, bread, juices, acai bowls, and a buffet lunch/dinner style. I enjoy their coxinhas (english version for me is chicken teardrops) and their cheese balls! Their prices are very reasonable!

I was hungry while waiting for my car to be fixed. The counter people at Ron's Tire recommended Pao Brasil, right across the street. I don't speak Portuguese but people behind the counter helped me. Well, they have pictures. I had a generous portion of bacon and bean soup with fresh bread. It was hot and delicious. I was raised on soup and when I return, I'm trying the several others. With room for dessert, I was magnetically attracted to the dessert case. So many choices. I settled on a cube if chocolate cake with a fudge layer and whipped cream. I had to walk it off. This place is a no frills restaurant, several booths, many tables, a center service aisle for eat in our take out. The people are friendly and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask what something is.

I ate here a few days ago. I had their Brazilian chicken, plaintains and Beans and rice....deeeelicious! The other Place i wrote the Review on last Year..Miranda Bakery. That was meant for this place. I did not try the bakery. I could just eat the chicken at this place all day long.

First time visiting this spot and it's a nice break from the norm. I was not familiar with all of the types of food and the cashier was very helpful in explaining explaining everything to me. Very busy during lunch and food was really good.

We spoke to a young man today and went crazy at the counter ordering everything in sight. I wish I caught his name but he was so helpful and polite. Their flan is so creamy and decadent. We went there around 8pm and it was crowded. That's how you know how good the place is. The smell of food was intoxicating. The red beans, white rice, meats and plantains were so good together. Try this place, there is so much for your taste buds. Five stars for delicious food and excellent customer service.

Just amazing. Super delicious food and wonderfully friendly staff. the chicken Coxinha are heavenly. Fried chicken on a skewer is my fav. Just tons and tons of delicious food. And the bread and pastry are top notch. Priced very reasonably. Thank you for doing what you do.

Good food. The guy who cuts the meat (sometimes he wears a cowboy hat) is very disrespectful. I brought my daughter in a couple of times to eat and realized every time we come in, he would make faces to my 6 year old. Pointed at her with the knife and I told him to stop twice because he kept intentionally making her uncomfortable. Hope manager sees this. I'll be coming back and he will hear me this time.

kinda disappointed I found a nose piercing in my beard I was eating it I thought my tooth fell but when I felt it it was a nose piercing but the rest of it is amazing!! wonderful works ! Good food too...

I love the acai bowls here! I get them with "everything" aka bananas, strawberries, granola, and condensed milk. If you like acai, go here! They have a casual sitting area where you can enjoy your treat. I didn't encounter any issues with the staff not speaking English. I only spoke to one person, but he spoke English. I took off a star because the staff was cold. No one looked happy or would explain what things were to me.

I love this place they definitely need to hire more people that speak English.. more than just Hispanics eat here!! Your in america speak English and your own language! People are pretty rude thinking an American shouldn't be there but Other than that love the plantains and coxina!! And always spend 50$+ so they should be happy and want my business

Found this place about 8 years ago since I attended Keefe Tech right down the street and it was so close. We used to walk here after school to get coxinhas. I had no clue what they were until my friend ordered me one and it was love at first bite. Love the buffet, but the best things are the coxinhas, pao de queijo, and brigadeiro in my opinion. Also, if you don't put ketchup AND mayonnaise together on you coxinhas (with cheese, obviously, the best ones) then you are seriously missing out!! I could eat here everyday. Sometimes I just randomly crave Brazilian food, and this is the onlyyyy place that can satisfy my craving. It's been tooo long since I've been here last, I really need to go back! Also, you have to try guaraná with your meal! Doesn't get any better than that.

The food was very good although the meat at the buffet tasted a little better than what they carve out. some of the carves the guy with the cowboy hat slices for you are nice and moist, other times it was tough and chewy. I would give it a 3.5 stars because of that. I didn't have any dessert by my friends loved it. price per pound wasn't bad. their plantains were OK., it didn't have the crust i tend to like in my plantains.

Waited for 10 minutes for help for bakery items. It wasn't that busy. Apparently it helps if you speak Portuguese. After watching 4 other customers get help and they were on the 5th customer who walked over after me I said "excuse me but how do you order something". This woman held her hand up to me as if I was not worth her time pointed to the person she was helping and said one moment. She was very rude and dismissive. It was impossible to get someone before that because you can't even make eye contact with anyone. I have a feeling it's mostly a language barrier but they should really change this. It's. It not the first time I have had this problem but it will be the last!

I go here pretty often to grab a quick lunch if I'm short on time or just want some Brazilian food. Always a quick experience, but the employees are kind and polite. I don't speak Portuguese whatsoever other than a few menu items and the employees are always kind enough to assist me and try to understand what I am ordering. Food is always fresh and prices are also great!

Well probably better for a local to review who is more familiar with the Brazilian names for each of these treats, but let me get in a few first words for someone to follow. There were a variety of sweets and savories for easy take out. A number of empanadas with seafood, chicken, or beef. Cheese bread is available in large and small sizes. Also available are hot food options are available from the steam table for eat in or to go. Stews and soups are available behind the counter along with a number of fruit juices/drinks.

The manager(young chubby boy) and the owner(woman) are stealing people money by over charging the buffet price with the same price as if the took the buffet w/ bbq. They over charging $1 per pound!! If that's my 1st time I get it but we're the regular and daily customer that work hard and don't want to be fool by thieves!! Honesty is appreciate it!! The employee verify the price for the buffet $7.49 and with the bbq $8.49 and went I asked the manager they said it was one price of $8.49, if that is being said why would bbq guy mark and X when you take the bbq??? They are fool of shit !!! And they tried to fool us and we don't fall for that!!! My issue is not the money but the dishonest and stealing in front of my face!! Deep inside I know that the screw with the wrong person!! I'm not stupid like you!! Go luck on stealing more people money!!! Terrible management!!

I'm brazilian so I know how Brazilian food should taste like. I was really disappointed because just a few things that I tried were good (pastel, coxinha, caldo de cana, sonho) the rest looked the same but tasted awful, specially the pudding, do not buy it, its bad and overpriced. The service is great! But dont have too many expectations about the food tho

Everything is absolutely amazing. Craving something savory, they've got you covered with their coxinhas and don't even get me started about their pão de queujo. Your tastebuds will love you after eating here

I picked up a pastry for breakfast last week with a cup of coffee. Unfortunately the coffee must of been sitting too long and tasted burnt. The Bolos de Arroz was okay, nothing to write home about but nothing wrong. Normally this would simply merit a 2 to 3 star review for me, however upon leaving their delivery driver was driving like a mad man turning into the parking lot and if not for my quick maneuvering would of taken out the trunk of my car! I know we all have deadlines to make but holy poop people, who you hire to represent you matters! Bottom line is this place isn't good enough be taking your life in your hands. I will not be returning, ever.

Literally so mouth watering. I get the rice at the buffet and then move over to the BBQ and get the chicken wrapped in bacon. It is SO tasty. There is a similar place down 135 near Dennison crossing that serves all the same food but Pão Brasil is 100% better. Way better.

This place is amazing. Service is great. Very kind and helpful staff. BBQ chicken hearts are awesome. Great sweet bread. The real deal. Stop here anytime I am in the area. 5 stars. Keep it up

The whole menu is amazing, the buffet is so fresh and delicious. My family and i could eat there everyday

Great local spot! Freshly squeezed orange juice, delicious coffee and a great freshly made breakfast sandwich, on their own freshly baked bread! Service was fast and great customer service!

It's fine. Not the best looking bakery I've been in but my table was clean. Milho e queijo was pretty good. Coffee isn't bad.

I really like this place, they have always been corteous to me and always have good service. I like their buffet, even tho it is a bit greasy with all the excessive fried stuff. Some Brazilian customers are rude by nature and try to cut lines, but most Brazilian people that live here are entitled brats, so, it is nornal and it is not the establishment's fault. I am Brazilian and I believe that everyone who works here should speak some English and it is really sad that locals aren't going to this place because they don't feel welcome...and I am sure that this is due to the fact that the people who work there are afraid to try to speak English. Give this place a try, it is really good.

food always takes forever, and last night was my first time getting a xbacon there, and i got food poisoning :) there's better bakeries nearby.

I'm not familiar with typical Brazilian bakery items so I cannot comment on what most things were. They did have a variety of different items from various fried foods such as empanadas to different soups. It was a bit difficult to know what each item was because there was not English translation of what an item was much less what it contained. I got some dinner rolls ($3), a corn husk with a cornmeal/cream corn mixture in it ($3), and some cheese bread. I did like the cheese empanada but the rolls and corn item were unimpressive. I was a bit surprised by the amount of fried foods. I hadn't seen a bakery with so few non-healthy items. Don't expect fresh baked bread here but if you're here you might as well get some fried gluttony.

Best Brazilian food in Framingham! Open long hours, always fresh and healthy food, super attentive staff and well stocked. Amo tudo! Obrigado!

Picked up food for take out last week and was very pleased with the quality of the food. Plantains, okra, collard greens, two different yucca dishes and a garlic noodle dish from the buffet, pork and beef from the skewer, coconut bread and strawberry and chocolate truffles from the bakery were all delicious, fresh and healthy (not salty or greasy at all). The interior of this eating place is basic but spotless.

"Cheese bread & dark coffee" The food is authentic and delicious. Easy, quick, and filling breakfast for under $3. They have a buffet for lunch, mostly beans, rice, veggies, and grilled meats. The staff are friendly, attentive, and the girls are quite attractive.

Ok food, Average service, not the best Brazilian food you will eat, but the best option in Framingham. Avoid the other ones they are over priced and have the worst quality.

Food is amazing, home cooked style with a lot of exotic or let's say Brazilian variety. Fresh juices, great pastry, chicken soup and kibbi!!
