I'm not sure what a brigadeiro is supposed to taste like - but as someone who enjoys desserts from Lady M, Dominique Ansel, and assorted Asian bakeries (mostly Korean and Japanese), I wasn't really feeling the brigadeiro. I got the cake ($6 for a huge slice) and tried a couple of the brigadeiros (3 for $6). The pistachio was bomb and almost tasted like mochi. But everything else was incredibly sweet and a bit too close to the consistency of carrot cake almost? It wasn't the like other cake that are moist or creamy (or both!). The culprit is probably the condensed milk for both the sweet and the consistency. The staff is awesome and definitely worth a try! I wasn't a huge fan though. read more

I do not have a photo for the Brigadeiro which is just so chocolate-y and fudgy! Mmmmm. I had their cheese bun as appetizers. I could eat 10 of them no problem! I also ordered grilled chicken as main entree, the fried bananas are a gem. It's lightly battered, crispy on the outside and banana-y on the inside. WOW! My favorite Brazilian spot is in Manhattan, and I was surprised to find a decent spot in Santa Barbara, especially shocked about how good their cheese buns are. Though the beans aren't the best I have had I have ordered their açaí bowl and cappuccino on separate occasions and they all are very well made! read more

Cute little shop. The brigadeiros are tasty and they give you one free brigadeiro with a check in! I bought 12 brigadeiros for $21 and the carrot brigadeiro cake for $6. Everything was delicious. The only downside is that the brigadeiros are rather small, especially compared to the ones you get in Brazil/Astoria. read more

I love Brazilian dessert, food, and coffee. Love love love. So when I was in the area and saw the word Brigadeiro, I had to pop in. They have this sweet deal where you get a free brigadeiro when you buy a coffee. Also, when you check in on yelp, you get a free brigadeiro. So my husband and I got 2 coffees (with 2 free brigadeiros), another free brigadeiro (yay yelp), and 1 pão de queijo. To be honest, the brigadeiros were a little too soft from what I'm used to having. It melts in your mouth, which is good if you like that texture, but personally, I'm used to having the more dense and sticky type. The pão de queijo was a bit flaky and not chewy enough. I tend to gravitate towards that wonderful rubbery texture and this was not it. At least it was big and very cheesy. I feet like the food itself was 3/5, but the whole shop is soo cute and the service was super friendly and the coffee was quite rich, so I'm bumping my whole experience to a 4/5. read more

This is the best and worst thing that's ever happened to me. My coworker took us here one day and I literally can't stop coming. I almost always get a coffee with the free brigadeiro but today I went a little (way) off my usual and got a chai latte with a slice of the passion fruit cake. The Chai was just a mix so nothing to talk about; my sister worked at a Border's Cafe back in the day so I felt nostalgic if anything... But the cake... Back at the office I kept telling my coworker I was going to eat it slowly so I could savor it all afternoon. I ate it in less than ten minutes and then moped around wishing there was more. I get that the brigadeiro is what everyone comes for but if you can... The 6 bucks for the slice of cake is so worth it. read more

I stopped here to pick up a box of pretty desserts not knowing what a brigadeiro even was. These Brazilian truffles are super decadent without being too rich. I ended up getting a box of 12 which survived the 90 degree heat and 6 hour plane ride back home to my parents. Every flavor was great but I especially enjoyed the pistachio, nutella, dulce de leche, and strawberries and cream. These truffles are somewhere between $2-3 a piece but much more unique than a box of chocolates or macaroons. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to impress with a box of unique sweets! Extra shout for this place because it's a female founded business :) read more

The açaí pb was just okay. But it smelled good inside. I don't eat sweets, but they were smelling yummy.

They were basically out of everything, zero signs of good service / engagement. The one drink they did have was "super greens" which was done with 95% oat milk and 5% everything else. Was drinking green oat milk for $12 at that point. read more

I was hoping to stop by this other place down the street but they weren't open until much later. Having been here before, I knew how yummy their brigadeiros are. For the unaware, brigadeiros are a sort of Brazilian truffle made with sweetened condensed milk. The salted caramel was my favorite, covered with crispy pearls. The key lime was definitely interesting but if I had to pick again, the salted caramel would be it. They were rich and crunchy and creamy and decadent all in one bite. There were several other flavors including some gluten free too. Highly recommend coming by to grab some treats, they even have ice cream too. read more

Nice taste of Brazil. I had the savory pesto bun which was delicious. The cappuccino was less successful. Can't wait to try some of the other treats read more

The Brigadeiro's looked delicious, but I actually went for morning coffee and was blown away. The place smells incredible and is adorable. You must get their cheese bread. So supple, soft, and cheesy! Need to go back to try the truffles. read more

This is an amazing little place that I hope has a long life in NYC. They sell these Brazillian candies called Brigadeiros that are, in actuality, little balls of flavored dulce de leche dipped in stuff and yes, they are as awesome as that sounds. Both the brigadeiro cookie sandwiches and the brigadeiros themselves are pretty delicious. If you want to try the candy in its pure form definitely go for the actual brigadeiros. My favorites are: Pistachio, Honey + Almond, Dulce de Leche. This is a pretty unique treat and I don't blame people for not really knowing what the place is all about, but it is as good as it gets for this kind of candy in NYC and I have to say I am really impressed by the range of different styles and flavors. Definitely going for the oreo and chocolate brigadeiros next time. read more

This place is aaaawesome! My grandma goes to Brazil all the time and had brought me back brigadeiros and I was NOT a fan but my mom found this shop on a Sweets show and I figured I should give them another shot. The shop is to teeny and cute and they have TONS of flavor options. I got the simple box of 12 assorted because paying an extra $6 for a gift box was uneccessary ($18 vs. $24). The woman helping us seemed irritated and occupied elsewhere but we were in and out quickly and got a free one for checking in on Yelp! The banana cinnomin was AMAZING, 100% recommend read more

They accept the Dollop App, code PXWRXP I before e except after d apparently. The display was about half-empty at 11:45am the day before Valentine's, but I was the only customer. Sweet lady explained they were previously producing in another space on MacDougal (gMaps gets confused), and O Cafe is/was their largest customer. Snagged a free Bahia brigadeiro with yelp checkin, and it was quite good, so will be back to the nice little space for a gift in the future. read more

Brazilian dessert. It's different but like most country specific foods, this should be on your short list. They don't sell individual pieces and there are only 2 tables but I'd get a box of 3 and just try it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

The name of this place doesn't help. I saw the word bakery from a distance and popped in looking for bread. From the outside it's fairly pedestrian but the small sweet treats were not at all boring!! I was curious what it was as it looked like a chocolate truffle i was offered a sample which i thought was kind. Never knew what a brigadeiro was before - it's a difficult name doesn't help the business in my opinion. What they should call it is Awesome Gooey Sweet Treats! Wow what a dense rich milky chocolatey treat. I ended up buying two small boxes. Would be great if they explained what they were somewhere to lure folks in or had more curb appeal for their window as so many people are missing out on this amazing sweet milk & chocolate treat! read more

Little taste of Brazil in soho. Pretty and yummy pastries! Such an beautiful art!! I like coming here to get sweets for friends as gifts or dessert to bring to a house party :) read more

The brigadeiros here were the first I've ever tried so they may not be representative of all brigadeiros, but I found these little bonbons much too soft for my liking, both in texture and flavor. This tiny bakery is easy to miss, but really charming inside! I stopped by around half an hour before close, and the staff was very friendly and gave several recommendations. The Nutella and dulce de leche not only looked the same, but also had very faint flavors. Strawberries and cream was by far the best tasting of my trio, with bright, intense flavor that was slightly tart, but left a sticky, artificial aftertaste on the tongue. I was surprised at how squashy they were as well - I thought they'd be a little firmer and have some chew, but instead had the consistency of a melted mochi left in sun for too long. That being said, anyone who likes brigadeiros in general would probably love this place. They come in sets of three minimum, there are plenty of flavors offered along with a few other types of desserts, and lots of gift sets and prepackaged boxes. read more

Yelp keeps suggesting this place to me so I broke my promise of not having desserts and gave it a try. Probably my expectation was too high for this place. Brigaderio they have was not overly sweet, which is good, but it's too dense. I agree with one of the review saying that it's almost like tasting condensed milk. Maybe thats the reason why its so tiny. It's probably smaller than a chocolate truffle. I did like it when I first bite it, but when I took my second bite I felt overwhelmed. Also for the size it's really pricy. After tax it's $6 for 3 pieces. Since it's dessert from a different culture, I would use the check-in bonus they have to have a try, but I don't think I'll come back. read more

I came here because a friend said her favorite cake is from this bakery. Once entering, you'll find it's a nice, small, cozy place with 2 tables by the entrance and little bar counter style table on the side. I got the thing that was recommended, which is the chocolate cake. So what I found out is that if you do come later in the day, there's a chance the cake gets sold out. It must be pretty good if it sells it right? You bet it is! Upon the the first bite, my mouth was in euphoria from the rich chocolate flavor. The fudge was great! What was another great thing about this was that the cake was also great without the fudge. Some bakeries, their cake are so-so without the fudge but not this one! They also serve coffee, hot chocolate as well as some pastries, cupcakes and little cake in jars. If it's your first visit her, definitely try a slice of cake if it's available. You won't regret it. read more

Stopped in for a coffee (and thought I'd grab a pastry as well) given the sign out front states they serve coffee. Apparently they stop serving coffee a full 30-minutes before closing. Or at least that was the case today. You are a coffee shop/bakery or you aren't. I get that the machine has to be cleaned. It should be cleaned at closing. With so many other great options (that actually serve the coffee they promise and promote) near here, I won't be back. read more

Best pao de quejio and brigadeiros! You get a free brigadeiro with your coffee! It's the best. The people are so nice. Great Brazilian spot.

Perfect addition to the area! As a Brazilian, I can tell you that these brigadeiros are the real deal. The plain chocolate sprinkle variety brings me right back to my childhood. My only suggestions would be to increase the AC, play some traditional music, and make sure the counter person is familiar with the deserts and traditions. Absolutely delicious!!!!!!! read more

Even in New York, it isn't every day that you stumble upon a Brazilian bakery. A group of friends and I went out of our way to find Brigadeiro to take a friend who grew up in Brazil who wanted some flavors of home. Not only did I love everything I tasted, but she said that all of the flavors were very authentic. To me, the highlights were the two lovers briga and the carrot cake. Both will have me back!! My friend left with a bag full of sweets to tide her over until she goes home for Christmas, so you know this place is legit. My only gripe is the lack of seating space. We ended up buying food in another cafe around the corner just to have a place to sit because the two tables in Brigadeiro had already been claimed. read more

I don't really have much to base off of in terms of Brigadeiro's, but it was cool to try some while in NY. It's a really charming shop, but they had a lot of flavors to offer. My initial impression before trying them was that they would be like American chocolates or truffles. They were a lot softer and sweeter, I guess from the condensed milk? They were really enjoyable though, but I might need a drink to go with these next time. read more

My beautiful Brazilian wife and I were walking in SoHo and decided that we needed treats. Lo and behold, there was a brigadeiro shop... in our direction. How exciting! We walked the few blocks there and were kindly greeted by the ladies at the counter. They were both extremely helpful with explaining the flavors and the selection to me. We chose 6 of the flavors and were really excited to try them all. My favorite of the flavors was, of course, coconut; I like coconut anything. We didn't feel as though we got any significant value coming here, and honestly, the rest of the brigadeiro were alright. My wife, being from Brazil, knows good brigadeiro, and I feel like I do too since I have been there and tasted several different kinds. I am not sure if the chef cooked the condensed milk a little long, or if it was just the hot and humid weather, but I felt as though some of them were really grainy instead of the smooth silky texture that I know brigadeiro to be. read more

Delicioso! Visiting from miami and stopped by to have an authentic, DELICIOUS brigadeiro. The latte was also great! They had a promo get a free brigadeiro with any coffee... promo worked bc then I bought 3 more to go LOL. No frills place great for a 5 min stop. Congrats on being around for 5+ yrs!! read more

I just love how much flavor you get in each teeny-tiny piece. Add a cup of their excellent coffee, and you'll be energized for the day ahead. The staff are just as sweet as the products. There's very little seating, but how long are you really expecting to stay? read more

I work in Midtown, but i had a late afternoon meeting all the way down at Hudson Street. I figured it would be pointless to travel all the way back to the office to finish out the day before heading over to Port Authority so I decided to yelp for a cozy spot with wifi. I was drawn to Brigadeiro Bakery because it's not a typical Starbucks, hence a place with character, and they had 1 free Brigadeiro deal with yelp check-in. I got the 1 free one, an extra, and a large piece of cake with a green tea (didn't feel like coffee at the time, but it would have gone better). Omg. I didn't know what to expect but the white rainbow and the chocolate balls (lol balls) were AMAZING. I ended up feeling the need to buy 3 more for my fav people back home. I got the Nutella Hazelnut, Coffee Praline, and the classic Chocolate. I sat in the cozy seat (there's only 2 tables with 2 seats, and a window bench and then some stools by the wall) and finished my work day. I went home, did personal training, and stuffed my face with the chocolate cake for dinner. It was delish. The cake was moist (ew moist) and the choc. icing was killer. I loved it. It's such a cute, cozy place. I'm glad I don't live near Brigadeiro Bakery because I would eat so many balls I'd gain 200 pounds. :) read more

I've ordered the 30 pieces box. I like the chocolate and the pistachio. The only reason why i'm giving them a 3 star is because of the representation of the product. The price of the 30 pieces box is 40 bucks but it doesn't look good when it's in a cheap pizza box flipped inside out. For what i'm paying i would at least expect a better box. read more

I think I found the best chocolate cake in NYC. It's the kind dreams and movies are made of: dark, thick, moist, chocolate-y, not too sweet, just a hint of frosting. And it's brigadeiro chocolate frosting so not the usual sugary crap. Also very cute that every drink comes with your choice of brigadeiro (Brazilian truffle dessert). I'm gonna get so fat eating this cake now that I know where it's at. read more

Best chocolate ever. How can something so tiny taste oh so delicious. Takes me back to one summer in Rio de Janeiro where I indulged in all the sinful pleasures of the world. I'd go back just for a bite of Brigadeiro, but fortunately (or unfortunately), I don't need to. Run, don't walk to this bakery and buy all the brigadeiros to last you a lifetime. read more
