So we picked up some dinner from across the street at Momo's and had parked our car directly infront of Modelo's at a meter spot.It was raining buckets when we left with our dinner so we ate it in the car since we already paid to park. After we finished we noticed quite a few folks running out from modelo's with bags and also ducking rain to get to their vehicles.Then i noticed the sign and looked through the window to see what they had...intrigued we found ourselves counting to 3, ducking rain and running inside.I must say the staff here is soooooo nice. Super sweet and spent the time to explain what was inside a lot of their pastries and food items.I felt welcomed here, and their pricing is affordable and fair imo!We first tried their cold cake (condensed milk and coconut) i loved that it felt fresh, moist and NOT overly sweet.The cheese bread we had was fab, had a nice almost rice flour like chew and flavor was just simple yet addicting we got 9 of them.Coxinha chicken and cheese was recommended by the staff so we had to test that. It had a flavorful doughy outer, with chicken and cheese in the middle. The texture was different than what i was expecting (i.e. like and empanada) but i enjoyed it and we killed that.We then got 2 of their donut like pastries (Sonho) with filling one with a custard and the other with a Nutella or chocolate like filling. On top we got the coconut topped danish like pastry (forgot the name) too. Haven't tried those yet because we were so full but they look scrumptious. I'm about certain they'll also be good!For the things we did try, i like that they don't use ingredients that give the dishes too much artificial tastes or sweeteners.Nothing was overly sweet thus far and will be back to try other dishes and their drinks (which look yum btw)

Got take out from across the street and it was raining cats and dogs earlier today so we booked it back to the car. We were parked outside of Modelo's, in a meter parking spot. We decided to go inside after contemplating for 5 minutes if we wanted to go out in the rain again, and I'm so glad we decided to check Modelo's out. The staff was really nice and super helpful with explaining the pastries we had questions about. We decided to try a bunch of their pastries out and were not disappointed. The chicken and cheese coxinha was not like anything I have ever tried before and it was so good, as well as super filling! My favorites from what we got were the cheese bread (Pão de queijo) and the condensed milk coconut cake. The cheese bread is incredibly addicting and has a nice chew. We ended up getting 9 of them to bring home. The coconut cake was super moist and not too sweet at all. It was perfect. **They also have plenty of seating here, including a couple tables & window seats!!We still have a couple desserts left to try out that we didn't get to earlier because we were so stuffed but I have a feeling that they will taste just as good as everything else we have tried from here. 10/10.

Came here on a Saturday and it was fairly busy. You order at the counter- it's a no-frills kind of spot and it's not exactly aesthetic. It's not the type of cafe you'd want to hang out in all day, but that's ok because you go here for the food. We got a breakfast plate, tapioca crepes with shredded chicken in them, pao de quejo, a type of Portuguese corn bread, brigadeiro, and a Portuguese donut with Bavarian cream inside. Everything we tried was really good--I want to go back to try everything in the pastry/dessert case!

This Brazilian bakery has been one of my favorite places in Somerville for over 5 years. They have everything. I usually get the tropical açaí bowl or a black iced coffee. Other things I'd recommend are their cakes, cheese bread (Pão de queijo), Coxinha with fish filling, and their salad bar (which is pay by weight). They also have a butcher/meat section, I've gotten their sausage there which is worth trying. Theyve also got a little grocery section with South American products and candies. I believe this is also a family business, over the years I've seen different family members working, and everyone is super nice.

Great pao de quejo. Never seen the extra large one anywhere else but think it's a great idea! Also I love their coxinha - must get with the cheese it's soooo creamy when it's hot! Looking forward to trying more things.

Highly recommend! I love coming here time and time again. My husband and I both love the iced coffee and the pao di queijo (small cheesy bread balls) - they are amazing! We get some whenever we are going for a walk or longer drive. We also love their breakfast sandwiches, the bacon is so thick and the cheese so gooey! The pastries are also very yummy. I'm slowly working my way through the pastry case, I have run in to some that are too sweet for me -- but otherwise am very happy. This is also a small market that sometimes has a staple or two I may have missed when at the grocery store. Overall, it's definitely worth a stop and don't forget to ring the bell on your way out!

I'm not sure why they are affiliated with UPS for packages if they are open until 2pm on Saturday. The staff is rude, ignorant, I wouldn't recommend this place. They all suck! And, management is even more dumb then the staff working there. Not worth your time. Stay away!

I ordered a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. This was honestly the best breakfast sandwich I ever had!! Quick deliver and super tasty. Please try out Modelos, or find them on Grubhub.

I was really excited to see a place in the area that served both arroz con leche and flan. But I've never had a worse rendition of either dessert. Towards the top of the flan tasted like pure condensed milk and the overall flan was way too strangely creamy. I've never had a bad flan until today! The arroz con leche didn't come with cinnamon which is new to me so I tried it before and after adding some of my own... but nothing could save it. Strange after taste, creamy clumps and the rice is super hard. Indescribably inedible, but I've added pictures so you can judge for yourself.The rating is for dessert only

I can't believe the comments people leave here. They are definitely a very affordable place. The price and quality of the food is excellent. They are always open at 6am as it says and also are punctual on the closing.The girls work very hard and show up everyday. I appreciate them.They deff do what they commit to do.
