Reviews - Brazilian Breads

Brazilian, American, Steak

Reviews summary

This Brazilian restaurant offers a taste of home with a variety of grocery items and tasty dishes. The açaí smoothie may have been a miss, but the Brazilian cheese bread was a hit. The steak sandwich was flavorful and filling, with garlic yucca fries to match. This joint is known for its excellent texture, assembly, and friendly staff. The veggie sandwich stands out as a top favorite, and the Pao de queijo options are a must-try. While seating may be limited and prices a bit high, the delicious food and welcoming service make it worth a visit for a taste of Brazil in Albany.

The staff here really know how to cook! We ordered a picanha (steak sandwich on ciabatta and an order of yucca garlic fries to share. Note that it costs $3 more to get the sandwich on ciabatta, from the regular $10 on cheese bread. However, we were toldthat it is also more sizable (see the picture for our order , so we upgraded to share. The textures were all on point. Thepicanha steak was sooo tender and delicious. They could've run an excellent steakhouse instead! It rests on a little bed ofsalad made of kale, arugula, and sundried tomatoes. The yucca fries were perfectly fried and crispy on the outside, with adelicious punch of garlic flavor, and they include just enough ketchup for all the fries (at our rate of dip-page . I will saythat the sandwich could have used more flavor. We drizzled balsamic vinegar over both the sandwich and the salad (didn't comewith any noticeable dressing once we got home, but sorely missed the flavorful, creamy, green sauce we usually get from anotherlocal Brazilian establishment. Additionally, although we loved the taste and texture, we thought that the price for the fries isultimately not worth it. You could get the same bomb flavor from garlic fries at any Super Duper chain, for half the price, andcomparable quality. Note that their kitchen closes half an hour earlier than their posted hours! We made the mistake before ofcoming just a bit under that timeframe and tragically getting turned away. They also have a clean restroom in the back. 5stars for the textures, assembly, and staff! They can definitely cook well. : That said, due to the distance for us, cost, andgeneral flavors, we will personally probably not be coming back anytime soon. If we lived in the area, the sandwich would make aseriously great occasional meal!

My açaí bowl was really bad. The peanut butter tasted like Jiff, which is just not the quality you?d expect, and there was way too much of it. Truly at least 1/2 a cup if not more which was over powering. Similarly there were so many hemp seeds I couldn?tget a bite without my spoonful being half full of them. The blueberries were previously frozen and mushy. My husband got hisaçaí bowl with honey instead of peanut butter, but still got peanut butter anyway. Be aware if you have allergies. We also gotthe Brazilian cheese bread, which was tasty but they gave us the jalapeño instead of garlic.

Since I'm a big fan of Pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread , it's so grateful to come across this place. They sell not only cooked cheese breads but also frozen ones which I can cook anytime at home whenever I want to eat them! (I was making them fromscratch before I found them. They have some sandwiches with the cheese bread also. (gluten free The chewy texture of the breadgoes well with their sandwiches' filings surprisingly. Well, if you're really a big fan of Pao de queijo, I reccomend to trythis place! Thank you, Desirre, Karla and another lady(I forgot to ask her name :p I'll be back soon! :D

Brazilian Breads pão de queijo (cheese bread) is delicious and authentic as if I bought it from a bakery in Brazil! They offer multiple flavors besides the original cheese flavor and they are all very tasty. You buy them frozen and baking instructions are provided which are very easy to follow. I recommend these to anyone who loves cheese, even if you are unfamiliar with Brazil. The flavor is one that everyone will enjoy!
