Silva’s Bakery

I wish I could leave them zero stars! I went to this bakery a number of times mainly for their bread and rolls. Bread and rolls were always fresh and ok but nothing special.
Occasionally I would buy a couple of cookies or donuts, and frankly these were always STALE… not just a little bit stale but like CEMENT. I kept going for the bread figuring maybe I was just missing something on the pastries.
The last straw was when I decided to try the muffins — I bought half a dozen assorted corn and blueberry. They were sold/​displayed right out of the bakery case as fresh. But when I got them home and served them to my guests, it was quickly clear that they were at least a WEEK old. Terrible, hard, dry, flavorless. A total waste of money.
Others have mentioned that they thought that this bakery bakes the pastries every few days or once a week… I think that in reality some of this stuff sits there for a month or more.
How they can sell these stale old products with a smile I have no idea. Frankly its an insult to be sold ancient baked goods this bad presented as fresh.
I will never return.

The sweet bread here is fantastic… and this is the only bakery I go to. My grandmother was craving sweet bread one day and my mother and aunt spent hours scouring the Worcester area and NONE of the bakeries even carried it, some of them never heard of it. They called me and I knew right away to swing by Silvas. Long story short, this place is the place to go. Bread has always been fresh and the people working have always been friendly.

I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. I am looking for a local bakery to make a birthday cake for a party I have coming up. Usually I go in and try some of their pastries and cupcakes beforehand to get an idea of quality. Today I went in and bought a vanilla cupcake, a mini chocolate pie and an M&M cookie. (all three cost $ 5.50) I was very disappointed all three tasted very stale and old. A lot of people were buying their bread and they were selling out of the bread. So I guess it is like some other Portuguese bakeries I’ve been to where the pastry is made once a week but the bread is baked fresh daily. I probably won’t order my cake here but I will try and get some of their bread next time.

i was craving the bread rolls and white cheese and sumol for my birthday, and my mom fullfilled those needs for me. YUM SO GOOD. thanks mom, lol.

I use their Italian bread to make the best French toast on this planet.
I used to live in Hudson and frequent this bakery.
It is definitely the real deal– great pastries and bread.
I live about ½ hour away now, but still make the drive when it’s time to make the French toast.

The best Portuguese/​Brazilian bakery in the state! They not only have the best bread/​rolls/​cupcakes/​sweets/​fried brazilian «coxinha» that I have taste in this area. I’ve been to tons of places like this and have not found a better spot. Staff are always friendly and everything is fresh. Specially the fried or baked goos. You know if they stay too long in there, it will go bad. But at this place you will always find at fresh so far. Another good thing is the price. They beat the competition on price as well. If I go to another bakery it will be almost double the price.
You should try their «Coxinha» it is awesome! It is a Brazilian deep fried potato dough mix with shredded chicken breast and spices on the inside. By far they make it #1 in my list! Also try it w/​Catupiry-​style cheese!

BREAD, BREAD, BREAD, BREAD, BREAD!!! Oh those portuguese rolls — crusty and chewy and oh so good smothered with butter, or sandwiched with cheese and meats… If you want french bread, get there before 8 — by 830 they are SOLD OUT! Hudson is a little deceiving town, with colorful and charming and hard working people. Silvas bakery is one of the «portuguese» clan that melds with the italians and other hispanics to make this little town a melting pot of flavors. They have traditional portuguese sweets, and their breads… OH THOSE BREADS!

They’ve moved one unit to the right. A Portuguese sit down restaurant is now in Silva’s former location. The staff has always been friendly with me and seem to know which customers to speak English or Portuguese without trying the other. I’ve been tempted to suggest they raise their prices but so far I’ve been able to keep my amazement to myself. Earlier this week I picked up 6 or 7 little treats for about $ 5.
On my first or second visit, I asked the young lady behind the counter her favorite. It’s a custard with sweet cheese in a small, round crust. Of course I ordered it and yes, it’s very good. She keeps reminding me of the name but I can never remember. There are other varieties of this dessert including sweet bean.
They now accept credit cards.
In the new location, they have a long counter mounted to the wall so you can sit and eat if you choose.

I have never been here, as I placed an order over the phone and my sister picked the order. 5 stars because:
No problem to order 100 cupcakes over the phone. The person was friendly and polite and everything was ready on time. This was probably the easiest part of my wedding planning
100 cupcakes for $ 100!
The cupcakes were AWESOME! I have funny pictures of both children and adults with cupcake all over their faces because they dove full speed ahead into their delicious awesomeness. Both the chocolate & vanilla cakes were very moist and the icing was firm, fudgey, and not too sugary.
Makes me want to get married all over again.
