Drip coffee, Creamy Chicken Empada, Spinach, cheese and Palmito savory torte
Matheus C.

Brazilian food done right!! As a Brazilian native growing up in Philly I have yet to try anything like this. Best empada I've ever had! I'm always stopping by when I'm in the neighborhood. Compliments to the chef

Guava Cake Roll (front) Sonho de Curau (back)
Komal R.

So glad we have a brazilian bakery in Philly. We stopped by around 3:00 PM and they were out of many of the popular options. We still got to try the most amazing baked goods: Guava cake roll: You can actually taste the guava distinctly. Very soft! Sonho de Curau: Roasted corn and Cinnamon in a Sourdough donut. Sooo soft and fluffy, loved the filling, if I am not wrong it had condensed milk too. Mańe Pelado: Yuca, Parmesan cheese and coconut cake. Such beautiful ingredients that work harmoniously together. Our favorite of the three. Must try if you are a fan of bread and have a sweet tooth.

I've been wanting to come here for some time because I was trying to find a good Brazilian store/spot. Their stuff is delicious but bakery priced. Small shop, no restroom. Has outlets though. Very delicious, would recommend. Will come back to try the other items

Incredible pastries!! I never knew what I was missing and now I will crave the Empada weekly. Everything we tried was awesome. Bakery was nice and clean inside. There were several things to choose from, sweet and savory so you can definitely find your new favorite treat here!

It has been a while since I've been in this store. I noticed that the rearrange it so when you come in you will see the display of very enticing desserts. I couldn't resist to try several of them. The owner was super friendly. She remembered me when I visited her pop up at a farmer's market. She took pride of her creations. She encouraged me to try this braided sourdough brioche . It looked very simple like a French curler but she explained that there's an orange flavor on it. She was right. It's definitely an elevated donut. It was very light an airy covered with coarse sugar with a hit of orange flavor. Highly recommended. All of the baked goods were very fresh and moist. Beautiful presentation. The bolinhos were so pretty with little flowers as decorations.

Brazilians cheese bread and empadas
Anna S.

It's hard to miss this store - painted in bring yellow! I love trying new food so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this bakery specialized in Brazilians goods. Everything looked so appetizing and are portioned nicely in bite sizes. We got the guava pudin, cheeses bread, and the beef empadas. I thought the empadas would taste like empanadas but they were flakier and drier. It reminded me more of a Chinese savory moon cake. The guava pudim is delicious. Although this is a Brazilian flan I felt like it tasted less gelatinous than flans I've tasted before. It was creamy and more of the texture of a banana pudding. I need to come back again to try other other items! This is definitely a hidden gem in Passyunk that I will be taking all my friends when they visit.

5/5 cheese bread. Small yet so delicious. Spot is a small shop with a couple seating but you can definitely see pastries and bread are made fresh :3

Take out bakery- Apple cider sour dough donut (weekend only and had to look on their website to remember) and coconut cake pastry
Stan H.

I ate the entire heated sour dough brioche w ham before taking a picture. So there is no picture of it. Sorry, I was hungry. Apple cider sour dough donut (weekend only and had to look on their website to remember) and coconut cake pastry is what I got in addition. There is no indoor seating- otherwise I would've gotten a drink too. Superb quality pastries and a pleasure to run into. I am going to guess Portugal has some similar items, but maybe some things could be a modern take.

I've been waiting to try this place for ages, but I usually am on my way at 10 am, which is when they open (plus I can't wait that long to eat breakfast without getting hangry). I tried to get Essen in the late morning, and they were obviously sold out so I pivoted here to finally try it! We got a palm empanada and a chicken one. Their pastry was perfect - gold and flaky, and the contents were also amazing. I was surprised by their price, however, it was $8 and $10 respectively. Honestly, totally worth it though. We also got this cider doughnut thing, which was also amazing. Some people love savory breakfast options, and empanadas certainly are a staple breakfast item in Latin America!! If this place was a buck or two cheaper and open at even 8 am, I would come more often. I will be back probably sooner than I intend anyway though!

Found this place with a random search for desserts in the area. Looked at the photos and thought it was worth a stop, definitely was. Got the Philly cake roll - dark chocolate covered pretzel cake filled with salted dolce de leite ganache topped with peanut brittle and dark chocolate brigadeiros. Had other styles of cake rolls so this wasn't exactly new but the flavors were very good, nice hint of salt for the perfect salty/sweet ratio. Never had a brigadeiro but very reminiscent of a truffle and you can't really go wrong with chocolate and sprinkles. Staff was friendly and helpful - I asked what was the most popular and she said the cake roll so I went with that. Would definitely go back and try more!

Empanadas ($8-10) - very good pastry!
Stefanie Y.

I first came across Kouklet's famed cake rolls at some Center City street fair in the summer of 2021. Frankly, I wasn't totally sold - I think I got some kind of birthday cake flavor, and it was just too sweet for me. But then I walked past their bright, sunny exterior down on Passyunk, saw the array of pastries and sweets in the window, and couldn't resist going inside. I'm so glad I did - everything I've tried since, from the sourdough doughnuts ($5 ea.) to the banana caramel-topped flan pudding ($6) to the pineapple upside-down cake ($6) to the gingerbread cake ($5) to the numerous little boxes of cookies, as been excellent. I love how the slight sourness of the doughnuts temper the sweetness of the caramelized condensed milk filling, and how the cakes aren't just sweet, but have another contrasting element (the tang of pineapple or the bite of Christmas-y spice) that adds dimension to each bite. The last time I visited, I also tried a creamy chicken empada ($10). I felt that it was on a pricey side; that being said, the pastry was flaky and delicious, and the filling was unique and tasty. The bakery staff have been friendly and helpful each time I've visited, and I look forward to the next time I find myself down by the sunshine-y Kouklet!

Lime pastry
Abby S.

Returned here again and somehow it was even more delicious than the first time I came here! We tried the chicken empanadas and a lime pastry. They were both amazing! The chicken empanada is a bit expensive, but it was heavy and filling. As someone who is not a big lime person, the lime pastry was so tangy and creamy. I can't wait to return here again soon.

Cute little bakery on Passyunk in South Philly. This small shop specializes in Brazilian baked goods both sweet and savory. Stopped by on a Saturday morning and decided to get pretty much one of everything after a quick browse because everything looked delicious. After bringing back the baked goods home, I heated up some of the savory pastries up in the oven for a few minutes and they filled the room with a pleasant bread aroma. Chicken empanada/tart was well balanced with shredded pieces of chicken mixed in a creamy sauce on top of a buttery flaky pastry. This was our favorite. The spinach empanada and smoked sausage bun were great as well. For sweets, we got a chocolate custard sourdough donut, an original custard sourdough donut, and a guava roll cake slice. The sourdough bread contrasted with a sweet custard which was new for me. Most definitely will return to try some more pastries in the future.

Good food

I got the egg tart on recommendation as well as a cheese pastry, pandan cake and red bean moon cake and everything was delicious! The cheese pastry had the softest exterior with a warm cheese filling that was savory but light at the same time. The moon cake was very rich and perfect for sharing! The pandan cake and egg tart were perfectly not-too-sweet, which is why I personally tend to gravitate towards Asian baked goods. It's a smaller but very cozy and homey interior with two tables for sitting down to enjoy your coffee and pastries. It's also cash only or Venmo, so keep that in mind if you never carry cash! I look forward to visiting again and trying more items!

But, since we were staying close to Philly's Chinatown, I figured I could stop in and get some goodies. I came very late in the day, so a lot of the breads I would've wanted were sold out. However, I did manage to snag some egg tarts and sponge cakes. Both were great. The egg tarts were crispy and custardy. Service was good - very friendly and patient as I perused.

Any true French bakery would not put the name "Napoleon" on a 2 small overdone pastry in the shape of a heart with small amount of cream in the middle. Nothing like the napoleon which my friend is and always has been a French classic. A three layered pastry fluffy with silky cream between each layer with a beautiful fondant icing which they called Mille - feuille. No it is not an Italian version it is French through and through. While as a French bakery you can make those cutesy heart pastry puffs please do not insult the french baker by calling it a napoleon. I unfortunately made the very foolish mistake of ordering this heart puff napoleon over the phone- thinking I would be getting , yes, you guessed it a napoleon.

We walked in and the set up was really nice with seating to the right, displays of the different desserts to the left. We were greeted by two really nice women. The cakes were to go so they were packaged nicely and placed in a cute bag. The cake- it was a few hours before we actually ate it but when I put the first forkful in my mouth, I could hear angels singing. It was so moist, literally melting in my mouth. The strawberries were sweet and the whipped topping was simply the best. Needless to say, I could have eaten my slice and my husband's. I am now on the hunt to find a location near where I live.

Dubai chocolate is super popular right now so I grabbed a Dubai chocolate mochi donut and a pistachio mochi donut for later. In my opinion, the Dubai chocolate donut was way better. It tasted just like the chocolate bar. Pistachio could've used a little more flavor. I tasted this one when I got home and it held up in 95 degree heat. Both were very soft and chewy. The employees at Paris Baguette are super helpful and nice, while also being efficient. Three people at the registers helped the line move quickly. While I love Paris Baguette, it isn't a coffee shop/bakery I would visit everyday because the prices are a little higher than average. For that once in a while craving, though, it's the perfect place to drop in and try a variety of items.

The tea itself was hot and tasty. Tried the tropical oolong. A nice pot to share, and you are given a small sugar bowl as well if needed. Good flavor and stayed hot with the burner stand. Cup, saucer, and spoon all showing signs of heavy wear. The food and service was not as nice and far more average than expected. Was deciding between salmon or turkey sandwich, ended up ordering the salmon. However, the Turkey club sandwich was what I got and unfortunately nobody came back to check on us either way. It was still okay not a huge issue, though the sandwich itself was a bit of a letdown. Average quality bread and lunch meat, and the salad was browning. Felt like it's a bit downhill than expected.

It was a milky tea that had a rosy taste to it. After a while; however, I felt like it was too sweet. For our main apps we had twister fries which were pretty basic. We also had the fried shrimp lollipops which were very tasty. The place offered us a collection of tea sandwiches and scones and macarons. Overall, my guests didn't leave hungry. We also ordered a mango Mille crepe cake. It was cutely decorated. They put pieces of mango on top of it. The cake was a bit too sweet for my liking, however.
