The Brazilian Spot (formerly Cafe Valencia)

Went in to buy a bag of tapioca starch to make pão de queijo. I was a little unsure what to get (and tempted to get another ingredient for my pantry), so I asked. The gentleman who guided me through the selection (wearing Brasil team jersey for Miguel #11) was so, so helpful and clearly excited to answer my questions. I learned a lot and bought two different cassava products at a fair price. Will have to come back for the food too - it smelled great.

(Brazilian here) Their pão de queijo, açaí and carrot cake are to die for. I highly recommend. Make yourself a favor and buy their homemade pão de queijo to bake at home too. The staff is also so kind and sweet!

Pretty good smoothie, but it's very loud here, and that doesn't make the language barrier any easier. And then they charged me for swapping an ingredient because of my diet.

I've only been to The Brazilian spot a couple times and only for the weekend buffet and feijoada. On the weekends you can get this buffet style meal and pay by the pound. I'm not sure how much my plate weighed , but I paid $30 for it and it was plenty hearty. The bean dish was too salty. This place has a few different Brazilian desserts and an assortment of imported Brazilian food goods. Come in if you want to have a taste of Brazil. Although I hear the owner is Portuguese.

Delicious great service!

As a Brazilian I can say this is, no doubt, the best açaí I’ve had in the US! Love it!!
