Will drop by for some additional breads to take away tomorrow too.
Good service!
Curiously, was told not to take pictures inside the store, even when I mentioned that I will pit up a Google review – of their excellent breads. My son in law, who had accompanied me shared a couple he had taken inside the establishment
Obrigada!! For the excellent breads.
I drove all the way from New Jersey to Massachusetts while on a work trip, and made it a point to visit this Portuguese bakery. My grandparents were Portuguese, and growing up they would always bring home linguiça and Portuguese cheese from their trips to Portugal — I haven’t had those flavors in over 20 years, so this visit meant a lot to me.
Unfortunately, I have never been treated so poorly in my life. When I went to pay, I was told they only accept cash — which would’ve been fine had it been listed anywhere on their website or signage (it wasn’t). What truly upset me wasn’t their cash-only policy, but the way I was spoken to. Rather than politely explaining or offering a solution, the woman behind the counter spoke to me with complete disregard, as if I were a burden or a thief. She coldly told me to “go to the bank,” with no empathy or basic courtesy, even after I explained that I had driven over an hour to find a Portuguese bakery that reminded me of home.
It was a humiliating and disheartening experience. For a place that represents Portuguese tradition — something that should feel warm, proud, and welcoming — I left feeling the exact opposite.
I hope the owners read this and realize that kindness and hospitality cost nothing, and that every customer who walks through the door has a story.
Came in to try some cookies and pastries recommended by the locals. Most of the small cookies that I got didn’t taste freshly baked, and the pasteis was also not as good as some people described. As a matter of fact, they were similar to what you could get at the bakery aisles in grocery stores. On the other hand, the large chocolate chip cookie was superb. This was understandable given that they were understaffed, but I wouldn’t recommend getting the small cookies that are sold by the pound.
No Credit Card accepted here again.
Update (2019)
I went there after really long time.
They take credit card now and price is cheaper then before.
Love the bread but they don’t accept card (2017)
