Kouklet Brazilian Bakehouse

So glad we have a brazilian bakery in Philly. We stopped by around 3:00 PM and they were out of many of the popular options. We still got to try the most amazing baked goods: Guava cake roll: You can actually taste the guava distinctly. Very soft! Sonho de Curau: Roasted corn and Cinnamon in a Sourdough donut. Sooo soft and fluffy, loved the filling, if I am not wrong it had condensed milk too. Mańe Pelado: Yuca, Parmesan cheese and coconut cake. Such beautiful ingredients that work harmoniously together. Our favorite of the three. Must try if you are a fan of bread and have a sweet tooth.

I've been wanting to come here for some time because I was trying to find a good Brazilian store/spot. Their stuff is delicious but bakery priced. Small shop, no restroom. Has outlets though.Very delicious, would recommend. Will come back to try the other items

5/5 cheese bread. Small yet so delicious. Spot is a small shop with a couple seating but you can definitely see pastries and bread are made fresh :3

It has been a while since I've been in this store. I noticed that the rearrange it so when you come in you will see the display of very enticing desserts. I couldn't resist to try several of them. The owner was super friendly. She remembered me when I visited her pop up at a farmer's market. She took pride of her creations. She encouraged me to try this braided sourdough brioche . It looked very simple like a French curler but she explained that there's an orange flavor on it. She was right. It's definitely an elevated donut. It was very light an airy covered with coarse sugar with a hit of orange flavor. Highly recommended.All of the baked goods were very fresh and moist. Beautiful presentation. The bolinhos were so pretty with little flowers as decorations.

It's hard to miss this store - painted in bring yellow! I love trying new food so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this bakery specialized in Brazilians goods. Everything looked so appetizing and are portioned nicely in bite sizes. We got the guava pudin, cheeses bread, and the beef empadas. I thought the empadas would taste like empanadas but they were flakier and drier. It reminded me more of a Chinese savory moon cake. The guava pudim is delicious. Although this is a Brazilian flan I felt like it tasted less gelatinous than flans I've tasted before. It was creamy and more of the texture of a banana pudding. I need to come back again to try other other items! This is definitely a hidden gem in Passyunk that I will be taking all my friends when they visit.

I first came across Kouklet's famed cake rolls at some Center City street fair in the summer of 2021. Frankly, I wasn't totally sold - I think I got some kind of birthday cake flavor, and it was just too sweet for me. But then I walked past their bright, sunny exterior down on Passyunk, saw the array of pastries and sweets in the window, and couldn't resist going inside. I'm so glad I did - everything I've tried since, from the sourdough doughnuts ($5 ea.) to the banana caramel-topped flan pudding ($6) to the pineapple upside-down cake ($6) to the gingerbread cake ($5) to the numerous little boxes of cookies, as been excellent. I love how the slight sourness of the doughnuts temper the sweetness of the caramelized condensed milk filling, and how the cakes aren't just sweet, but have another contrasting element (the tang of pineapple or the bite of Christmas-y spice) that adds dimension to each bite.The last time I visited, I also tried a creamy chicken empada ($10). I felt that it was on a pricey side; that being said, the pastry was flaky and delicious, and the filling was unique and tasty.The bakery staff have been friendly and helpful each time I've visited, and I look forward to the next time I find myself down by the sunshine-y Kouklet!

I ate the entire heated sour dough brioche w ham before taking a picture. So there is no picture of it. Sorry, I was hungry. Apple cider sour dough donut (weekend only and had to look on their website to remember) and coconut cake pastry is what I got in addition. There is no indoor seating- otherwise I would've gotten a drink too.Superb quality pastries and a pleasure to run into. I am going to guess Portugal has some similar items, but maybe some things could be a modern take.

I've been waiting to try this place for ages, but I usually am on my way at 10 am, which is when they open (plus I can't wait that long to eat breakfast without getting hangry). I tried to get Essen in the late morning, and they were obviously sold out so I pivoted here to finally try it!We got a palm empanada and a chicken one. Their pastry was perfect - gold and flaky, and the contents were also amazing. I was surprised by their price, however, it was $8 and $10 respectively. Honestly, totally worth it though. We also got this cider doughnut thing, which was also amazing.Some people love savory breakfast options, and empanadas certainly are a staple breakfast item in Latin America!! If this place was a buck or two cheaper and open at even 8 am, I would come more often. I will be back probably sooner than I intend anyway though!

Found this place with a random search for desserts in the area. Looked at the photos and thought it was worth a stop, definitely was. Got the Philly cake roll - dark chocolate covered pretzel cake filled with salted dolce de leite ganache topped with peanut brittle and dark chocolate brigadeiros. Had other styles of cake rolls so this wasn't exactly new but the flavors were very good, nice hint of salt for the perfect salty/sweet ratio. Never had a brigadeiro but very reminiscent of a truffle and you can't really go wrong with chocolate and sprinkles. Staff was friendly and helpful - I asked what was the most popular and she said the cake roll so I went with that. Would definitely go back and try more!

I ate everything too fast and forgot to take pictures- whoops. The interior is cute and simple. I believe there were a few seats by the window, but you're probably better off taking your order to go since I'd imagine it could get cramped quickly inside. The woman behind the counter was helpful with recommendations. I got the mango and coconut pudding, chicken empanada, and orange roll. The chicken empanada was my favorite. It was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked- 10/10. The mango and coconut pudding is a great little dessert. I think it'll taste better cold so I put it in the refrigerator when I got home and am looking forward to eating it later! The roll was also yummy and think it'll be a great snack with coffee. It's a littleeeeee pricey- those three things cost about $19- but worth it, IMO. Great little shop full of delicious treats I don't think you can find elsewhere in Philly.
