Somerville Cafe and Pastelaria
376 Mystic Ave, Somerville, MA
Crema's Take
“Somerville Cafe and Pastelaria is a beloved Portuguese-Brazilian spot where traditional pastries and desserts shine alongside warm, authentic hospitality that keeps locals coming back. The casual, family-friendly atmosphere feels like a genuine neighborhood gathering place, though it can get pleasantly crowded during peak hours, and the menu celebrates Brazilian and Portuguese specialties at prices that feel fair for the quality you're getting.”

It’s not a bad place if you know Portuguese, I know I went there and I sober and I asked for a burger. I asked them for light mayonnaise on a burger if that’s what you order because they put everything an extra mayonnaise.
Great food great people Love all variety
This place serves high quality food at a reasonable price. My wife is Brazilian and is an excellent cook - and she loves the food here. The desserts are also incredible. The only ding on the atmosphere is that there is just one long table shared by all and you may have to remove the dirty dishes on your own.
Great place for those looking for Brazilian snacks and sweets, good service and a wide variety of products. For those looking to dine in, it can sometimes get too crowded and lack space and tables. But it's definitely worth getting to know and trying Brazilian delicacies.
I had a terrible experience at this bakery today. I ordered a birthday cake, which was not cheap at all, and requested the text to say “Scorpio 11.11.” Instead, they wrote “Bicho Scorpio.” I pointed out the mistake, and the cashier was incredibly rude, yelling at me as if I was wrong to complain. It was really upsetting, especially on my birthday. They “fixed” the writing, but it looked sloppy and uneven. Despite this, I took the cake home, and no one even apologized for the inconvenience. I will never go back to this place and cannot recommend it to anyone.
