Best Brazilian food in Utah! My wife and I regularly make the 45-minute commute to enjoy the wide variety of authentic Brazilian food here. My wife loves the coxinhas and pasteis, and I tend to order the tri-tip or feijoada. They also have amazing desserts (the passion fruit mousse is exceptional). I always look forward to speaking Portuguese with the friendly staff. I love supporting this small, family-owned business. read more

Good food and good service! I came here with my native Brazilian husband, and he said the food is very authentic. We both got "the trio" for $14.99 each for dinner, and we shared a pave ($3.75) and a slice of bolo de brigadeiro (the white kind) for dessert ($3.90). Of the three meats, our fave was the tri-tip because we weren't the biggest fans of the seasoning put on the chicken, but the sausage was delicious too! My favorite part of the whole meal was the beans! So delicious! The desserts were tasty and fun to try, but we both agreed the cake was just a tad dry, but it had great potential! Fun to come here, and I'm sure we will come back, especially to try coxinha on a Saturday! read more

I've been here several times to get Brazilian food for my son-in-law who is from Jaoa Passeo and my husband who served a mission in São Paulo. They have delicious desserts, full meals with meat/rice/beans/salad, food to go, catering, etc. It is usually busy, but you can call ahead to order items.

Good food, ok prices. Horrible customer service! They do not value customers. Come at your own risk of who's helping you.

A bakery with Brazilian food? A Brazilian cafe with baked goods? Either way, this little cafe in Sandy definitely carries a heavy influence of Brazilian food. And that's a good thing. Located in the Union Square shopping center at 9400 S. and 700 E., it's no surprise to find such a melange of northern and southern hemisphere menu items. This shopping center seems to be trying to have somewhat of a renaissance. Long gone are the days of the Scout Shop and even longer the Winchell's. The old Peter Piper Pizza is gone in favor of a diner that does a bustling breakfast and lunch, and the old Union Station Cafe (?) disappeared to make way for Walgreen's. And of course, that island of Caribbean dining, Adobos. And the 9th & 9th haven of all things adorable - Hip & Humble Home - has opened another location a few doors down. It makes perfect sense that this bakery cafe opened its doors a few months ago in what's become a gathering place for eclectic (though not eccentric) businesses. It's quite nice inside, if not understated and simple. With a name like "Sweet Spot" I was bracing myself to enter a palace built of cupcakes, pink things, and Disney charm that's best left in Anaheim. Instead, I found a few tables, some well-lit bakery cases, and a modern decor. The kind lady back in the kitchen/bakery welcomed me, and soon came out to explain their offerings. The menu fits tidily onto a one page trifold, focusing both on lunchtime and dinner offerings, although dinner options are more limited. Lunchtime sandwiches fit into three categories: paninis, beirute sandwiches, and Brazilian hot sandwiches and range from about $7 for paninis into the $8 and $9 range for others. I'd never heard of a beirute sandwich. It's sometimes referred to as a beirut sandwich, and does infact have ties back to the Middle East. It seems that over the last several decades there has been a great number of people of Lebanese heritage settling in Brazil, and in that wonderful mixing pot way, the marriage of two cultures has been harmonious when it comes to cuisine. These sandwiches are served in pita pocket bread and often include meat veggies, and a fried egg. Their namesake Sweet Spot Beirute ($9.75) is stuffed with tri-tip steak, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, a fried egg and a cream cheese spread. Hello, wonderful! They also come in ham & cheese, chicken, or turkey. The Brazilian hot sandwiches are simple--the churrasco is served with picanha (tri tip steak) or you can have a ham and cheese or bauru - grilled cheese. All come on a baguette and start at $6.75. It looks like both beirutes and Brazilian sandwiches come with your choice of fries or salad. Once I got to the dinner menu, I knew I'd be back again soon. The appetizer section is mostly Portuguese words, which thankfully come with translations. Coxhina, baleinha, risolis, esfiha, empada, kibe. It's a large assortment of dumplings, fried pastries, empanada-like turnovers, and deep fried Brazilian hush puppies. That last one is my own translation and is loose at best. They're all between $2 and $3 and merit sampling. The dinner menu itself is short and simple. A few salads, and three main entrees ($9.75): chicken, steak, or Brazilian sausage platter that all come with salad, rice, beans, and farofa -a popular dish in Brazil made of fried and seasoned yucca flour. I didn't get to see the farofa to tell if it was the larger cous-cous sized stuff or what add-ins they have, so chalk up another reason to return. You can also get the combo platter and sample all three of the meats for and extra two bucks. I saw something about Monday nights being all you can eat pizza night. I don't see pizza on the menu, so perhaps that's just a Monday dish. I wonder what kind of pizza? I may be horribly disappointed to find it's totally normal. And let's be honest, if you've had pizza from South America, you may feel like it's an acquired taste. But it could be amazing, so perhaps as a pre dollar movie treat on Monday night I'll give it a try. Now the bakery part. That's what got me. I'm a sucker for a good baker case, and they've got plenty of temptations from both halves of the globe. Folks from Brazil are doing backflips over the availability of quindim, a kind of custard that's a traditional dessert infused with coconut. There's a more universal pudim de leite condensado (flan) and both brigadeiro and beijinho - Brazilian fudge balls, the latter with coconut. All kinds of sweet treats I probably mispronounced lined the case, and even the standard cakes and cookies looked fantastic. Nummy eclairs! I'm thrilled this place has opened. It's got enough polish and options to appeal to the non ethnic-food crowd, but still maintains authenticity for folks craving their faves from way down south. Reasonably priced, made by mama in the kitchen and enough items to lure me back to give them a try. read more

Sweet Spot Bakery & Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Sandy, Utah

All you can eat Brazilian pizza for $13.50? Count me in! Utah Sweet Spot is tucked away in a small shopping center and not visible on the main street. It's a small mom and pop shop where the dining room seats about 30 people max! The server, Richard, circles the dining area with at least 3 different varieties of pizza on the pan. As this is my cheat meal, The fat girl came out of me and I picked one of each. Food: My favorite is the chicken with cream cheese. It was a bit dry, but it's because I'm so traditions to the tomato sauce or pesto basil sauce as the base. Some of the main Brazilian pizza as had the kalamata olives which may be over powering on a pizza. I personally love olives so this was great to me! There was one pizza where a ton of onions and corn were used as toppings. This was an interesting pizza, but it seemed to lack a little flavor. The dessert pizza (regular crust with Nutella, chocolate sprinkles with strawberries on top was AMAZING! I had to get seconds with those. Service: The service was pretty good for the most part. My friends and I stayed past the closing time and maybe that's why they didn't fill our waters of offer more pizza haha. Other than that, Richard continued to bring out pizza and new ones every time he went back into the kitchen. Everyone else in the cafe seemed to not want anymore, but Richard continued to bring more pizza out which is great! I'd come back here again and try the traditional Brazilian desserts and coffee since this is a bakery and cafe. read more

I'm originally from Brazil so I'm very very picky on my Brazilian joints. Sweet Spot is my favorite restaurant in Utah! Trust me, there are a lot of other Brazilian places but I always come back here for a few reasons: * Feijoada with Fresh Beans ( not canned) *Authenticity *Great Service *Delicious Desserts And the best atmosphere!! I wouldn't say it's a hole in the wall but it's for sure a smaller restaurant. It makes it for a more personable experience! 5/5 recommend it to anyone wanting to try Brazilian food! My favorites to order: Pastel, coxinha, guaraná, suco de Maracujá! On Saturdays: Feijoada plate! read more

I just happened to notice this place doing some errands on a Saturday morning, so stopped in to check out the bakery part. When I got to the front door I could not open it! The open sign was on, but the door was stuck. I thought maybe they actually weren't open until later so started to walk away, but someone from inside opened the door and said it was just really heavy. I felt kind of silly, but they were really nice. I get the idea that must be an issue fairly often. The exterior and interior aren't super fancy, but for casual dining it's fine. I'm certainly not eating anywhere like that for the ambiance. The bakery case was pretty empty, and they only had maybe 5 or 6 goods available. I ordered an éclair and a brigadeiro (like a chocolate truffle sort of filling covered in chocolate sprinkles). I think I paid around $6.00 for both, so I'd say the price was average. The brigadeiro was huge, and I hadn't planned on eating it all, but I did! The éclair was for my husband who is very picky, and while he wished the filling was the more traditional custard filling rather than whipped cream he said it was still delicious. I just had a little bite, but the chocolate on top, and the actual pastry part were very good. The owner was very friendly and apologized several times about the door. I didn't try any food, but they have all you can eat pizza on Friday, and the other dishes sounded good so I'll certainly be back, and will update my review then. read more

This is authentic Brazilian food. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The prestigio cake was off the charts. My husband put it up there with my "man catchin' cake" I made him when we were dating, and that takes 3 days to make!

You'll be glad you did it! read more

First off I feel that I have to explain why I gave three stars. I really like the food but the service and ordering process is really subpar. The waiter seemed to be annoyed with another white guy asking what is in all the pastaries. Well if you had a decent menu or if you put an example in the glass case then I would not have to ask so many questions. Second, Why is it my fault that you are out of what I came there to buy? Just explain that you sold out, but you can make me one in "?" minutes. If the prep is too long, tell me when you will make them again. Provide me a solution, don't give me your problem. All that being said, I really enjoyed what I was able to purchase. The deep fried tear drop shaped pastries are the best. they have a lot of options for fillings. We did not get a chance to try it but most people were ordering fejoade and that looked really good as well. This is the only place i have found that serves coxina in Utah and that is worth the trip just by itself. read more

I bring my boyfriend here anytime he misses homestyle cooking from his country. We've always had a great experience here and the staff is friendly and happy to answer questions about their menu.

Editing: Replying Christian I'm sorry but o have to disagree with you. First of all one of their servers is american, he speaks Portuguese but he's from USA. Secondly I've been here a zillion times, I've seen a lot ( if not most of) Americans that does not speak Portuguese here and I've seen the girls and owners talking to each one of them in ENGLISH!!!! Regarding the pizzas you can ask what flavors are each one..so please be more fair with this establishment... you review really makes no sense... Best coxinha ever!!! Everything here is good! Pastel has lots of filling, the desserts are incredible , try pudim is just awesome! The coxinha w/ cream cheese is my favorite! So delicious, ver authentic, It tastes just like bakery, and pastries from Brazil! read more

Not a bad little Brazilian shop. I wanted to come check this place out to try out some of the food. Based on the reveiws it looked super good. I got the coxinha and a panini. Honestly the coxinha was the best part and it was super tasty. I wish I got two instead of that with a panini. The panini was okay. Was very basic and had tons of mayo (which I actually like in a Sandwhich). The Sandwhich was decent and honest I should have probably got something for Brazilian like the rice and chicken or some of the other dishes they had. The staff was very friendly and they brought me out a cup of water with out me even having to ask which was a nice touch. I'll give them 4/5 because I know the other foods was probably the better choice. And the coxinha was really tasty! I'll be coming back. read more

I was invited to The Sweet Spot a couple weeks ago by some friends of mine. They are from Brazil and were happy to share with me some good Brazilian food that they feel is quite authentic. I ordered the special meal that they only serve on Saturday's "Feijoada". It was incredibly good. To me it was incredibly well-seasoned bean and ham soup that was absolutely delicious. I'm not even supposed to eat beans they make me sick but I have to go back. Many of the other menu items were incredibly good too. I feel like this place is a little bit of a Hidden Gem that you must try if you get the chance. read more

I heard about this place back in hawaii. A Brazilian friend told me this place have the best coxinha in Utah. I must tell you, it was delicious. The service was great. Very friendly and welcoming. We order 15 Coxinhas and some Pão de Queijo. The Coxinha's had cream cheese in it. So tasty. I've never had a grilled pão de queijo before but ohhh boy that was so good. It has the same taste of the regular baked pao de queijo but it also get a crispiness from grilling it. It's insanely good. I'm used to hawaii price so lying $2.50 for the Coxinha's and pão de queijo (each) was super cheap tô me. Not sure what the prices here are but I was stoked. We are coming back before we leave. Guaranteed. I wanna try their plate lunch. Sounds epic. read more

Only 3 reviews? people needs to checkout this little Brazilian cafe shop. Ok, I never really had authentic Brazilian food before but I do enjoy Sweet Spot's entrees. we ordered sausage and tri-tip steak with side dishes. Just letting you know I am not a big fan of salad and bean soup. However, the orgasmic salad dressing was perfect on the salad. And the bean soup was absolutely delicious! Sadly, we were so full that we didn't have room for dessert. They had friendly staffs and helped us on what to order. Only awkward thing also kind of funny....well, it is not cafe's fault. When we were at the cafe, there were two big tables of Brazilians?. From the moment we arrived till they left, they were STARING at us the whole time. Yessssssss, we are two Asians trying out Brazilian food. To me, Sweet Spot is a hidden gem in the Union Square and you should definitely try it. And we will be back to try more food. read more

Sweet Spot Bakery & Cafe - Brazilian sausage an tri-tip steak with salad and black bean soup - Cafes Near Me - Sandy, Utah

We have been here previously, but just had dessert- which was not too shabby at all. The hubby served a mission in Brazil, so he is definitely a bit of a picky eater of cuisine. Saturday's special is feijoada- which is a rice, bean, meat stew plate. Per my hubby- very traditional and very specific in the flavor profile. He kept saying that the flavor was spot on and what he has tried to replicate numerous times at home. I ordered off the appetizer menu and had the coxinha- which is a meat filled dumpling deep fried. My order was chicken and cream cheese. I am not overly a fan of dough like things, but I could and would eat these all day long. They are flash deep fried so the outside is nice and crispy, but the inside is smooth, flavorful, and tasty. The other appetizer I ordered was the pastel, which is like a crunch empanadas I think. Think like a hot pocket but bigger, thinner dough, and overall just better. Needless to say, I am a happy girl. The olympics are on, it's crowded since Brazil is playing Germany, but the ambience is sure lively and worth it. Most of the conversations are in Portuguese, since it definitely is a hidden spot that the local Brazilian culture of Utah know about, and have nots hated this gem! Definitely worth trying, it's a hidden gem! read more

It's a nice treat to try something a little different from the norm. I liked what I ordered, I had the sausage plate. I like the richness of the beans, the saltiness of the sausage, and the crunch of the toasted flour. I even like the baked goods. Why 3 stars you ask? The back of house. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." I couldn't help but notice that the kitchen area was unappetizing. It needs to be said. I really need the place that I'm eating to make me feel comfortable. read more

I can say that this was a disappointment for me. I'd like to give them a better rating for the food because it was alright, but the gentleman that took our order was a major ding for the establishment. We were met with an individual that was in no way congenial and gave off the impression that customers were more of an inconvenience than anything. No greeting, no eye contact and an mmhmmm with a taste of contempt when he asked me if I wanted ketchup and replied no thank you. I observed this same treatment of other patrons while I was waiting for my order. Ordered pão de queijo that was more like pancake de queijo... the chicken pesto panini was okay... Unfortunately I will not return to the establishment due to the lack of service- and that's ultimately too bad because eu adoro comida brasileira. read more

Super traditional Brazilian food. Great spot for a quick bite. Their desserts always make me think of my childhood in Brazil. The flavor of their food is really well seasoning!

Cheese bread was delicious, baked to order! and the desserts very decadent! Will go back to try their other menu options.

If you're in the mood for authentic Brazilian cuisine this is the spot. The food was fresh and hot. One of the best coxinha's I've tasted. The presentation of the food was okay. The store is neatly kept and clean. Location is good and plenty of seating space. It's not a high end cuisine. The prices are a little higher than I expected. But the food is quality. I have it five stars because I expected Brazilian cuisine and my expectations were met. If you're expecting American dining and American steak go to tucanos. read more

I was super excited to hear there was a Brazilian place nearby because there is a place in Huntington Beach, CA that my husband and I love to go to whenever we are there. Cream cheese and chicken coxinhas are our favorite so we decided to try the ones here. We walked in and it seemed pretty dirty. Most of the tables had crumbs and spills. The cashier didn't even great us even as we approached the counter. We asked what kinds of coxinhas they had and he mumbled the different kinds. He seemed put off that we were there and never smiled once. It took about 30 minutes for them to come out, which we didn't mind too much since they were made to order. When they eventually came out I was a bit disappointed because they weren't as good as the ones we get in California. The potato dough on the outside was really thick and the shell was a lot harder than expected. The cream cheese to chicken ratio was a little off, I thought it could use more cream cheese. Overall they were pretty good, but I guess it's unfair to compare them to the coxinhas we get in Huntington. The service was the most disappointing part. read more

My husband and I love coming here, it feels like we are back in Brazil when we eat at the Sweet spot. We mostly go for their coxinha and cakes but have had their food as well and we enjoyed it.

I would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Brazilian food. read more

Sweet Spot Bakery & Cafe - Found toothpicks in two of these...not good - Cafes Near Me - Sandy, Utah

I'm always looking to try new places. I normally don't care to write reviews but this one was def worth my time. This little hole in the wall Brazilian cafe was SOOOO ADORABLE and SO GOOD. All you can eat pizza for $13.50 on Friday nights and they brought out an entire pizza and it was so delicious. The owner is Brazillian and he's very cute and you can tell it's family owned and operated. This place was so good and owned by locals. It's super simple with no ambience really but it's a cafe so it fits what it is. I was sick of all the same local cafés around the area and so I'm really glad to have found this place where they have a different menu that's not your traditional American sandwich, salad, or panini. Everything was simply presented but tasted amazing. I have never written a review on yelp before because nothing had been with my time but this place is DEF WORTH TRYING!!! Absolutely loved it. Incredible flavor balance and different dances for your tastebuds! read more
