Parking was a breeze as there are multiple lots and plenty of free street parking. I got the quesadilla, the chicken was lean and seasoned great, the cheese was flavorful and stringy, however there were big chunks of onion? In it. I wish I got just chicken and cheese. The chicken was also wet and the whole quesadilla was quite soggy. My friend got the tacos, there were also big chunks of white vegetable in her meat. My favorite thing was the corn, it was really delicious. The interior is decorated and the service is fast and friendly. You order at the front and they give you a beeper that rings when it's ready. They offer lots of fun drinks & sides that I want to try out next!

The restaurant is beautifully decorated with lots of art and vibrant colors. We got the birria tacos, Al pastor torta, and shrimp tostada to go and ate them in the small park nearby (Flinn Park). Everything was delicious and well portioned. The torta was really good and something we don't typically see on menus- so want to give that a shout out. The bread was toasty even with all the filling, which included meat, pickled jalapeños, refried beans, cheese, avocado, lettuce, and tomato - wow! We were so impressed at how good it was. The birria tacos were tasty too, and still crunchy when we got to the park. The shrimp tostada was okay- generous with the shrimp but I thought the tomato sauce it came in was too sweet. We also got one of their agua frescas which comes in a bag! Overall, a solid spot with a creative menu and great service. I remember when they were a food truck during Covid and am so happy to support their storefront! Next time I will try their pozole!

I stopped by Bamboo Café because it was one of the few places, which wasn't a fast food restaurant,…read morethat was open on a weekday around 6:45 am. While the restaurant has a few tables for dining, this restaurant appears to be a order and go type of place, which is primarily patronized by folks working in construction and landscaping. Although the two workers speak limited English, you might have a better experience if you can communicate in some Spanish. Looking back, I wish that I went with a Latin breakfast (eg, a breakfast pupusa) instead of a "standard" bacon, egg, cheese bagel. There wasn't anything wrong with the sandwich, but I realized that I could get this type of sandwich from any breakfast place in the area. However, I'll blame my choice of ordering my breakfast sandwich over a breakfast pupusa on the fact that I was still in sleep mode. ;) I thought the prices were pretty fair. My bacon, egg, cheese bagel + a side of potatoes + a can of Diet Coke was about 10 bucks. One tip (pun intended), bring cash for a tip. Unfortunately, their electronic payment system isn't set up to add a tip to your payment. Although I would not go out of my way to stop here, it is nice to have another early-morning breakfast option that isn't a fast food spot. One other thing: parking is VERY limited (like most places in this area) because I think the storefront only has 2-3 parking spots. Also, I'm not sure how strict other business are regarding folks parking in their spots.

Filo Cafe is pretty small and they were having a pop up during my visit, which made it even more congested. At first I wasn't sure there'd be a table for me to eat at, but one opened up as soon as I was about to leave. I ordered the Bangusilog, which is fried milkfish (my first time trying this) and vegetable lumpia. The fish comes with garlic rice and a fried egg. The fish was perfectly fried and super flavorful. I enjoyed the crispy skin. The rice was also good and tasted fresh. The portion wasn't the biggest, but for the price it wasn't bad. In my opinion the lumpia was okay, but I appreciate them for having a vegetarian option! I will definitely be returning.

The paella is a huge portion that honestly could feed 2 people. Service is also quick and the staff check on their diners for beverage refills and experience. I also ordered their passion fruit mojito for any alcohol drinkers. You can barely taste the alcohol in it. I wouldn't say it is a formal restaurant at all but could potentially you could come in slightly more formal for a date night. It is definitely family friendly and there's plenty of seating.

They sell Brazilian style food, desserts, snacks, and drinks. We visited twice and tried 7 items. 1) Risoles de Presunto e Queijo Ham and cheese risole is the English name. It looked like an empanada. It was deep-fried and had a crispy exterior that was coated with breadcrumbs. It was thick and slightly gooey on the inside. The filling was chopped ham and white cheese. It was savory and slightly salty with a mild blend of salt, pepper, and herbs. Reheat them in an air fryer or oven. Microwaving or deep-frying will ruin the texture and taste. The exterior was tastier than an empanada, but it was average overall. 2) Pastel de Carne com Ovos Beef and eggs pastel is the English name. It was rectangular and had a crispy, thin dough wrap like Chinese spring rolls. It was filled with seasoned ground beef and chopped hard-boiled egg. The beef was a little dry and crumbly. It looked and tasted like it was boiled. The beef flavor was weak with no savoriness! The seasoning had flavors of onion, garlic, and salt. It was so basic! Edible and forgettable. 3) Rocambole Goiabada Guava roll cake is the English name. Rocambole is a Brazilian sponge roll cake made with eggs, flour, sugar, and butter. Goiabada is paste made of red guava and sugar. It was the filling in the cake. The flavor was like slightly sweet strawberry and pear with a hint of tartness. The cake was light and fluffy with an egg yolk flavor. A great dessert if you're looking for a light and fruity cake with modest sweetness. 4) Sonho The name means dream in Portuguese. It is a doughnut made with flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and butter. The doughnut was breadlike with a crisp exterior and plain taste. It had a pastry cream filling that was thick, smooth, and creamy with flavors of vanilla, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolk. The plain bread wasn't noticeable because there was lots of filling. It's a dream dessert for lovers of sweet pastry cream. 5) Pudim de Leite The name means milk pudding in Portuguese. Brazilian caramel flan is the English name. It was sweet with a strong flavor of caramel, a modest flavor of milk, and weak flavors of condensed milk and egg yolk. It was good, but the weak flavors and lack of vanilla kept it from being great. 6) Churro It was 10 inches long, deep-fried, and covered with lots of cinnamon sugar. It was filled with dulce de leche. The outside was crisp, and the inside was soft, moist, and slightly chewy. The filling had a milky flavor with light notes of caramel. It was a great match to the strong sweetness and spicy cinnamon on the exterior. This is how a churro should be made! 7) Brazilian Hot Dog It had a half smoke hot dog, diced onions, bacon, and mayonnaise topped with Brazilian potato sticks in a french roll. The hot dog was jumbo sized and oily. It was savory and well seasoned with a firm texture that was slightly chewy. The bacon was thick, crispy, and savory with the right amount of salt. The potato sticks were crispy and had a light flavor of fried potatoes with no salt. Everything worked well together to make this flavorful and extremely savory. My only wish is that they add a seasoned tomato sauce. If you love hot dogs, give this a try! The service was polite and attentive. The dining area and restrooms were relatively clean. There were 3 tables and 24 chairs. They had a small buffet table with 15 items and bottles of sauces. The items included 5 entrees, rice, sides, and salads. The buffet costs $10.50 per pound. They are in a shopping center with free parking. This is a casual place with some good Brazilian style desserts, bread, food, and packaged goods along with great churros. They are worth a visit if you're in the area.

I have been to this establishment every week for over 5 years. I loved bringing my 3 young children, husband and friends here. However, today I came here with my elderly, injured mother and my young daughter. A young Brazilian cashier with dark, curly hair spoke so disrespectfully to my mother! When I asked her to show some respect to elders (and injured elders at that), she refused to serve us and take our money. What kind of cashier speaks ill to their customers and refuses to take their money!? I feel really badly for the owner of Brazilian Bakery, because he hired a cashier who refuses to sell to his customer. She literally turned our $30 away. And only because I asked her to show some respect to my elderly mother. I was flabbergasted! I asked what is the problem? She said, "The only problem here is your annoying, stupid mother." Inside I wanted to punch her in the face, but because I have class and was raised better, I told her that she is what she called my mother! I promised her that I will inform her manager and other patrons about her awful customer service and disrespect. If you are Brazilian and crave Brazilian food, go to "By Brazil" or the cafe around the corner (Americas). Not only is the food there spectacular, their staff is so respectful and warm, and they never refuse to take your money! Be advised my fellow Brazilian neighbors!

‼ MATCHA REVIEW ONLY‼…read more This is my favorite Strawberry Matcha in Gaithersburg! Hands down! Service is pretty quick even when the traffic is heavy - love them for that! Not only is the Matcha extremely aesthetically pleasing when you pick it up, but it's also not hard to mix like everywhere else. The strawberry purée mixes in perfectly with the rest of the drink. You don't have to shake it up like crazy or spoon it to actually mix everything. It's also extremely balanced. It's not too hard on the strawberry, nor is it too much with the Matcha - perfect blend! If you love matcha - go now!
