Cash only, great egg tarts, and the Portuguese sweet bread loaf is actually less sweet than in Rhode Island, and rectangle loaves (vs round). I definitely prefer this, but am much closer to PVD. 100% worth a visit!!

Someone hit the nail on the head with their “no frills bakery” review. Not sure about the cookies, but the rolls, chorizo & pasteles de nata were incredible. Great service with lovely people. Can’t beat their prices either!

This is the real deal. Old school, cash only, and probably the most affordable food by volume in greater Boston.If you need a big bag of good bread to make a metric ton of sandwiches for cheap, this is where you go.If you want to make some pizzas at home, this is where you go.If you miss Portugal and need a Pasteis de Nata fix, or some delicious chorizo or a blood sausage, this is where you go.If you want to pay $15 for a single loaf of Sourdough bread, there’s lots of places to do that in Somerville but this ain’t it.
Owner screaming!!! Who’s next out the control… bad service… I not recommend small business whit owners like

First time customer. Bread was fantastic and fresh. They only take cash, but it's dirt cheap so I don't mind. We'll definitely be back!

Huge baked goods - excellent value. The pineapple turnover was gigantic and heavy. That didn't stop me from eating it all though. The crust was thick and doughy - not my favorite texture but still very edible. The filling was perfect - fruity and sweet but not overly so. I'd definitely get it again and also try the apple turnover. The Scali bread with seeds in the crust is popular. Also huge. They slice it for you. It seems their rolls go very quickly. Multiple people came in and asked for different types of rolls and some were disappointed they were out by late morning.
this place is TERRIBLE. If I could give negative stars I would. They refused to take a call ahead order for French bread for the day before Christmas Eve because “they will have more then enough”. Lo and behold when I arrive at 6:30 am to get the bread, they refuse to sell it to me because “i didn’t call ahead”. The owner was so incredibly rude and dismissive and really couldn’t care less that she lied to me and was refusing to sell just because she felt like it. Terrible establishment.

Bread and prices are good. However, service is poor. They always seem so angry and frustrated at the line on the weekends. Here's an idea, work faster and be nicer. The older woman is nasty to deal with.
