Very good food, especially the coxinha and the pastel, very delicious homemade pasta. The owner very friendly.

Great find! The place is tiny, a few chairs at a bar. The woman behind the counter greeted us right away, took our order and got to making it right away. While waiting for our order a gentleman came in and also asked if we'd been helped and was so friendly. The menu posted on the whiteboard isn't huge but is just enough for an on the go bite. The homemade empanadas are amazing!! The guava & cheese pastry hits the spot! It wasn't listed on the menu but they do have Pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread), the gentleman man said he doesn't have it made ahead, he prefers you call so it is hot and fresh when you order. Will definitely do that when I'm the area again because those little cheese breads are delightful.

Awesome authentic Brazilian food. Clean, simple place. Love the lady who owns and works this cafe. Brazilian pastries. Only negative is the squawking bird.

The food was excellent and fresh, made right in front of us. We came in for a pastry but ended up leaving with an empanada and a guava pastry. We will be back. Also, the owner is very friendly and explained everything since it was my first time having Brazilian food. I would highly recommend it.

So good!!! The pastel/empanadas were made fresh to order & weren’t overly fried or under seasoned. They were light & fluffy & perfect. Ive never liked fried empanadas until now! I can’t recommend this place enough. The coxinha was soooo flavorful and crisp. 6 stars!

This is my second trip to Pastel Brazil Cafe. I made sure to go back because last time I didn't take photos and the food was so good. I've had their chicken and beef Pastels. The pastels are made to order, so you'll get a chance to talk to the owner while you wait. Today, I had soda from Brazil, and the owner told me I'd get addicted. He was right. When you go, make sure to try the chocolate chip cookie. You get what you pay for, and with the quality of the foods, it's definitely worth every penny. I'll definitely be going back for more.
What a killer find on our way through town. The owner was very helpful in deciding what to order. I tried the coxinha, kiba, and pastel (empanada). All of it was amazing.

Don't believe the bad review. This place is spotless. No bad smell like the bad review said. The only aroma is good smelling food. A nice small and welcoming place to grab a pastele or other delicious specialties. The sweets are very good too. If you don't like extra spicy food, no problem, they do not put hot stuff in the food. If you want you can add that later. Also kudos for not using ridiculous amounts of salt. All I can say is Mmmm as in yummy!

Amazing!!!!! This is a tiny little walk-in hidden and tucked away for treasure finders!!! OMG this chef, this pastor that owns the cafe is brilliant! My taste buds are completely satisfied by all the flavors of natural homemade Brazilian food. The chicken is sooo juicy, fresh and organic. The empanadas are flaky with multiple layers of thin crust. Everything is handmade, homemade and you can tell this family created every plate especially for the person and always with a taste of rarely found cooked in love.Delicious!!!!

I got one of each item and they were so delicious! I’ve been in PSL for five years and never realized this gem existed. I will be a repeat customer for sure!!!
