I always enjoy my visits to Barcelos. As someone who is Portuguese, it’s great to find a place that offers authentic Portuguese baked goods. The coffee is pretty good as well.

While I love the coffee and usually the pastries, the last two visits were disappointing. The Napoleon slice I purchased had very stiff, rubbery cream and was difficult to cut. In my experience, a well-made Napoleon should have crisp, flaky pastry and smooth, creamy filling that cuts and bites cleanly. When I asked about the texture, I was dismissed rather than helped, in fact, the woman behind the counter with two young children on her hips called me honey and told me she was offended that I told her the pastry was terrible. Great customer service there. The woman who served us was in quite a mood, throwing dishes in the sink and slamming tables around.
The week before, my mini éclair was visibly wet and dripping, which made the shell soggy. I’ve never seen an eclair actually drip with condensation.
We usually buy boxes to bring home to family and were ready to purchase more, but the interaction was curt enough that we chose to leave. I hope this improves.

Barcelos Bakery is great! Their coffee and pastries are fantastic! If you're in the city looking for a great cafe to have a coffee and some pastries - look no further!

The coffee (galon) is my favorite thing here, but the sandwiches are a 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.

Nice local bakery but my elephant ear tasted like it was made with oil not butter, and was sub par. Good coffee though.

Beautiful atmosphere. A fantastic blend of a traditional Portuguese Cafe mixed with an American culture. The pastries are out of this world.

Rude service ...girls talking to each other instead serving you my wife said something she received looks that could kill
The food is always fantastic. The service however is not. There are a lot of young staff and the last 3 times they have been rude and disrespectful. Tonight I went in and was laughed at and told to “get over it” when I asked for my pastries to be in a box instead of a paper bag. The two young girls were so disrespectful about me asking questions I just left without purchasing anything. And last time I went I was given attitude for asking what a pastry was because “she is too busy for this”. Not good way to run a business. Do better.

Worked in Somerset today & knew I had to make a couple of Portuguese stops on my way home 🇵🇹 First stop — Barcelos Bakery in Fall River! I grabbed a bifana sandwich, chicken croquette, stuffed quahog, sweet bread, & of course, a pastel de nata. Haven’t made it through everything yet, but what I have tried was delicious! 😋

I have been to this bakery twice. I come from a português family and I hate to think this is a representation of the Portuguese culture. The pastry’s were so so, the coffee is ok. The service was terrible both times. There is no signage so you don’t know where to order or where the line starts. I ordered a piece of pie the employee couldn’t find what I asked so I had to point out what I wanted and she stated that she didn’t even know they had it. Then she didn’t even know the prices of the products. The employees are not pleasant at all they serve like they are doing you a favor. Definitely will not be going back and do not recommend anyone visiting.
