Little Brazil Market & Cafe

Excellent food. The Mortadella sandwich and flan were excellent. My husband enjoyed the ham and cheese too. The sandwiches are freshly made to order and the flan really was excellent.There is a little market and also a deli case so you can bring home some unique items. Julio was really helpful and we will definitely be back. Free parking in the lot or on the street.

A friend recommended Little Brazil and I could not have been more impressed. Ordered Coxinha and Pao de queijo with Guarana soda. It was out of this world. More than the food, the staff was very warm and welcoming. Will be back many times over and will pass on my friends recommendation. Oh and try the flan!

This cafe is just down the street from me and I'd been meaning to try it for a while now. The inside had a little market with Brazilian items for sale. The menu was limited but we decided to order two of the Roasted Pork Sandwiches, two cheese breads, and an iced coffee. One star off for how long it took, about 30 minutes for us to receive our order to go, it seems like they do a decent amount of takeout business so maybe ordering ahead is the best idea if doing takeout. The sandwich comes with slowly cooked pork meat chopped, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, and a basil fresh vinaigrette. With the wait I was wildly skeptical but hoping for the best, and the sandwiches exceeded my expectations by far! The sandwich was so delicious, perfect flavor profile, tasted fresh, and made sense as to why it took so long. Each sandwich was about $13.25 but arrived hot and were sooo savory. My partner and I were both blown away by the taste of the sandwiches, even the cheese bread was so good I can't explain the texture, it was a ball of cheese but tasted lighter(?). The coffee was alright, pretty strong which I like, but nothing special about it. Recommend not coming on the weekend or else ordering takeout over the phone before coming in. They apparently can do larger orders as well so that's really good to know. Coffee wasn't that interesting, very basic options, but the food on the other hand was spectacular! Absolutely recommend giving Little Brazil a try!

I fell in love with Brazilian food a few years ago and was so excited to try this spot. I went on a Saturday for lunch, knowing they cook up authentic feijoada on Saturdays. It was packed with meats and every bite was so flavorful. Serves with rice and couve on the side to round it out. The cafe is small but the folks are friendly and you can grab some authentic Brazilian treats in the market too.

Super amazing little market offering Brazilian coffee, bake goods, sandwiches and dry goods from Brazil. We stopped here while biking towards downtown St Paul. Ordered roasted pork sandwich (pictured), cheese balls, chicken n cheese croquette, chicken pastel and ground beef pastel. Each one is delicious. Will most definitely come again. Plenty of parking spot as this place is part of the river front apartment complex.

Oi, gente! You have to make your way to the Little Brazil Market and Cafe! A hybrid grocery store of Brazilian staples and a cafe full of beloved entrees, it will not disappoint. The coffee is hot and strong and the guaraná cold. I had both along with cheese bread (pão de queijo) and an empanada of chicken, cheese and corn. The empanada crust was flaky and buttery and the chicken well seasoned. I complemented this with some warm and chewy pal de queuing and was in heaven! Julio, the owner is warm and gracious and clearly proud of his business and heritage.

Great market for Brazilians who miss the taste of home. They have everything to please Brazilian taste buds! There is also a little cafe that serves super authentic Brazilian finger food (try the coxinhas!), they are moist, delicious and really taste like home.The owner was making the food, which I think it is pretty cool and unique .

Amazing little market with imported Brazilian goods and a hidden gem for classic Brazilian comfort food. Fried cheeses delicious meats and a pressed hot dog. Also the chocolate truffles were on point and had a unique texture that was divine. The coffee is hot, and expertly made. It's hard to be good at so many things but this will be added to the coffee shop rotation for us.

Stopped by for a late lunch. The pork sandwich did not disappoint. Melted cheese and pork was oozing out the side and gave me a spoonful pre-taste. The staff was friendly and checked in to make sure I was satisfied. Got a passion fruit dessert to go. Plenty of seating for all.

Really nice people working there and great food/portions for low prices. Get the cheese bread! They have a small section with Brazilian treats you can buy as well. It's pretty small but I think that adds to its charm.
