BraziMex Bakery is a small Brazilian and Mexican bakery that serves a variety of different baked treats. Brazillian food, especially, is quite rare in this area, so we decided to drop by on a weekday afternoon to try them out. unfortunately they were out of most of the Brazillian pastries, but we ended up getting 3 different items.
Concha ($1.20) - This concha has a distinctively yellow colored interior. It's really pillowy and soft yet very rich like brioche. Usually I find conchas to be much drier and much less rich. The crust on top is crumbly and sweet. The bottom base is really the standout here. (4/5)
Empanadas Crema ($2.49) - This is a denser bread that tastes like a cracker, kind of like a saltine. It's flour and water, unenriched, but not dry. The inside is filled with stabilized cream. It's not too sweet. (3/5)
Pao Milho, Pan de Elote ($3.50) - This is dense and heavy, wet with tons of corn, whole kernels and pieces embedded throughout. It has a strong corn flavor. I would compare it to a bread pudding with corn. Corn bread pudding perhaps? With tres leches like syrup soaking things through. (4/5)
I enjoyed the pastries at BraziMex Bakery. I wish they had a fryer for coxingha and other fried snacks though!
