    This Brazilian bakery is located in a plaza next to Outback Steakhouse, Autozone and Lotte supermart in Aspen Hill. I almost missed it as didn't notice a sign along with those "bigger names". I stopped by to grab some "salgadinhos" but turns out that they make some of their goodies in enormous size such as their coxinhas (like a croquet) and pão de queijo (cheese bread). Sadly they had run out of pudim that day so I opted for a couple brigadeiros (chocolate fudge balls - a staple at b-day parties). I also took a pastel and rissole to go, which hit the spot later on. They also serve various other foods (sandwiches and feijoada) and is a good place to pick up some Brazilian stuff such as coffee, Guarana, chocolates, etc. I like the open seating and TV w/Brazilian programming.

    Coxhina!!! Found some in the DMV. Sadly it's just ok here. Not bad, just not great. The batter is crispy but the inner layer is just too mushy and maybe a bit too thick and sweet? The chicken is kind of bland also. I've been here twice and both times have been at off hours so perhaps they've been sitting out too long? That said, there are a bunch of these places in Atlanta as a lot of Brazilians have moved up from Miami and the coxhina here just doesn't compare to those places. I will be back to try the sandwiches though-- love carne with the little potato sticks. Plus it's just a really chill, tucked away place to grab a bite.

    I zumba my way to Brazilian and can tell you that I know that I can't eat their food all the time. It's so rich in fat and dough. I have to shake my body to take out the pounds. I had the empanada de pollo but I did not like the Brazilian style. Maybe, I should have the regular ham and cheese empanada @ 1.75 each. I also tried pan de queso @ $1.45 but I did not finish it. I also tried the bread with yucca and ground beef but it was too much for me. I liked the fried crispy flat bread with cheese (I don't know the name of it in Portuguese.) Well, I tried the Brazilian food, but it wasn't for me. Going for pizza instead.

    sometimes...i just love finding bakeries that have the ONE THING that i keep coming back for...and it becomes my little secret in which i send only select few to try :D you go in and go up to the register, on the counter they have this little hotbox with different pastries filled with meat. I wouldn't be all ballsy and ask for this particular one by its name "Coxhina" (you might get a wtf look for mispronouncing it...) but just point to the one that looks like this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co… . I think it is $1.50 or 2? describing this pastry, if you eat it from the pointy end, you will get a mouth full of dough. the consistency is like super crispy, but light crunchy outer texture, but the inside is creamy/doughy. i think any noob will think that its undercooked, but its not. just keep eating and you will get to the center of everything that is right in the world...a pastry that is actually filled with meat :D. my biggest gripe when it comes to any meat filled pastry, is to find out that they tried to skimp on the meat. the ratio of meat to pastry MUST BE RIGHTTTT. i love that every culture, across the entire world...has their version of a meat filled pastry. despite the neighborhood country influences, this concept was able to travel across seas and great distances and is so interesting to encounter what is their take on a pastry. jamaican beef patties, mexican empanadas, Saltenas (bolivian empanadas), coxhinas, samosas, curry puffs...I WANT TO TRY THEM ALL!!! *note* the last one i had was a bit on the salty side...so i guess have some water ready?

    Living in Wheaton, I've always seen this place in the Lotte Center but never ventured in until this past weekend. Let me tell you... best decision ever. There's a lunch buffet that is fully equipped with pasta, rice, chicken, steak, fries, beans, kale, potato salad etc.. All great quality and for 7.95 all you can eat, is a steal Whilst all of it was very good, (yes I had a taste of it all) the gems were actually at the counter in the hotbox. Such delectable pastries and empanada type foods (Coxhina I think it was called) are filled with assorted meats and cheeses are absolutely incredible. If you don't speak Portuguese, you might be a little intimidated, but the woman behind the counter that served us spoke Spanish and English as well so you'll be fine. It's lunch time.. I think i'll head over.

    right so I was invited by a lovely group of people to go out to dinner and this place was picked. I'm down for brazilian food anytime and it doesn't have to be rodizio styled I AM IN! We go and I'm expecting the type of "by pound" brazilian I typically eate at with a fire pit with meats and then salad bar/lasanga stuff like that, YO! Nah, its just a tired storefront with a half assed lame-o buffet on wheels. Food was something you'd get from you old abuelita leftovers three days after xmas eve. Wasn't the best evah. Maybe the 7.95 deal would be ok for a quick lunch if I'm tired but not por kilo por dinner NO WAY! Don't waste your time. The ambiance was a cross between a downtrodden feria in brasilia and the times squares bus station in NYC. Neither place I hope to be again in my life. Oh and everyone in my party got the shits - the girl from ipanema revenge so to speak.

    Two and a half stars. Rustic, filling fare. Service is equally friendly to newbies and local regulars, and the grocery section includes some essentials like snacks, beverages, and sausage. Appropriately foreign TV channel, cafeteria table layout. Skip the fried sausage, which is basically a crispy corn dog. The stewed meat from the hot by-the-pound bar is pretty good, and the chocolate-dipped fresh fruits were worth every bite. Mildly flavored beans, fries bland and limp during our visit. The everything burger is their closest to redemption-- enough ingredients on minimal bread bun that you will be ungodly full on this alone: hard-fried egg, grilled ham, thin beef or chicken patty, melted cheese, fresh lettuce, corn, stale potato sticks. Sweet pastries looked less polished than the array of intriguing savories, but were more generously portioned. The conservatively descriptive menu requires cuisine familiarity, a willingness to ask questions, or the patience to Google the hell out of things. Will probably be back one more time to try meaty baked goods along with another burger.

    I was on my way home and noticed the sign for this place mentioned Brazilian/African food and looked it up on yelp only to find one picture and no recent reviews. I felt it my duty to return the next day and try some of the items mentioned in the reviews and to take a bunch of pics! I started with the items that previous reviewers talked about like the meat patties, the yucca, the cheese bread, etc... I also tried the sandwich with all the works and it didn't disappoint. Cheese Bread....very good, flaky crust and ooey gooey cheesy goodness. Meat pattie.....great bread, meat a little dry and could have used more spice Coxinha...filled to overflowing with chicken, very yummy but needed some kind of dipping sauce or more seasoning. Ham and Cheese pastry....one of my favorites and would go great with spicy mustard Yucca "pastry"....decent but a bit dry and also needed some kind of sauce. I really wanted to dip it in the hot sauce mayo based sauce that you get from Crisp N Juicy. Hot dog wrapped in some of starchy food and deep fried....good with mustard or catsup. The number 8 Sandwich with had everything but the kitchen sink on it and it was so good, the corn somehow worked on this sandwich. I wouldn't change a thing. I also grabbed some short ribs and a kebab from the hot bar and the short ribs just made my eyes roll. Awesome! Dessert....a yucca, cheese "cake" It was a bit odd and different and not sweet at all but I liked it. It was great with some hot coffee. The first time I went in the cashier wasn't too knowledgeable about the offerings but we went back the next day and the cashier knew her stuff. I posted pics of the interior and the food that I got so take a look to get an idea of what I'm referring to. I'm not too familiar with Brazilian food but I look forward to trying more items and I will update and add more pictures when I do. I do recommend you give it a try. Cheap (about $2.00/pc) for the hand held goodies and the sandwich was around 7 bucks. I hope to see more reviews so I can know what to order next time.

    My wife is Brazilian and we are always looking for Brazilian foods/markets around the DC area. The name is actual Ecowas International Foods (its easily discernible from the surrounding businesses due to the large Brazilian flag hanging in the window). During the week the cafe serves some Brazilian sweets and breads plus strong Brazilian coffee (Pilao). They also serve various types of salgadinhos (empanada type snacks) such as coxinhas, pastel, esfirra, pao de queijo. They also have a menu of Brazilian style lonches or sandwiches. You can get a burger or chicken sandwich covered in various toppings such as cheese, potato sticks, corn, lettuce, tomato, ham egg. There are various combos and the portions are very generous. The owner is very friendly and also serves Brazilian style buffet lunch starting after 11 on Saturday & Sunday.

    this is a little cafe/bakery/market that caters to the brazilian community in the aspen hill and wheaton sections of mo. co., that i usually hit up when my wife and i go shopping at lotte (it's right next door) and i just can't take the craziness when lotte is packed or i am really hung over from drinking too much the night before. every time i go in this place, i am the only gringo in the joint, which sometimes evokes an odd stare from the patronage and a little befuddlement from the management. they have a bunch of snack/comfort food such as coxinha, (which is a little tear drop of breaded minced chicken meat), pao de quijo, (cheese bread), various empadas (brazilian meat or cheese patties). they also make a number of brazilian sandwiches, mostly involving mass quanties of meat and cheese, in some cases peas, corn, and potato sticks. there is one sandwich i like to get when i am especially hung over (i forget the name, but the order number is 8..... i think) because it shoves everything into the sandwich, except for a thong. it is a ham, chicken, cheese, peas, corn, and potato sticks sammy. i don't know if meat, cheese, veggies and potato sticks are meant to go together, but when you are hungover - they do. i must put up a warning in regards to the sandwiches - high salt content. i don't know what they do to their meat at this shop, but it is very salty in taste. another little bonus about this place is the television viewing. sometimes the television they have tucked into the corner, airs either a soccer match (big surprise), a soap opera, or some serious, thong wearing, ass shaking dance variety show. brazilians really do like their ass shaking, and i must confess - it can be down right hypnotic. my wife wonders why i take so long to eat a sandwich sometimes.

    Really like this place came here before I went to brazil to practice some Portuguese and try some food. When I went to Rio I knew what I liked and could order at the bakeries without any problem

    This Brazilian bakery is located in a plaza next to Outback Steakhouse, Autozone and Lotte supermart in Aspen Hill. I almost missed it as didn't notice a sign along with those "bigger names". I stopped by to grab some "salgadinhos" but turns out that they make some of their goodies in enormous size such as their coxinhas (like a croquet) and pão de queijo (cheese bread). Sadly they had run out of pudim that day so I opted for a couple brigadeiros (chocolate fudge balls - a staple at b-day parties). I also took a pastel and rissole to go, which hit the spot later on. They also serve various other foods (sandwiches and feijoada) and is a good place to pick up some Brazilian stuff such as coffee, Guarana, chocolates, etc. I like the open seating and TV w/Brazilian programming.

    Coxhina!!! Found some in the DMV. Sadly it's just ok here. Not bad, just not great. The batter is crispy but the inner layer is just too mushy and maybe a bit too thick and sweet? The chicken is kind of bland also. I've been here twice and both times have been at off hours so perhaps they've been sitting out too long? That said, there are a bunch of these places in Atlanta as a lot of Brazilians have moved up from Miami and the coxhina here just doesn't compare to those places. I will be back to try the sandwiches though-- love carne with the little potato sticks. Plus it's just a really chill, tucked away place to grab a bite.
