Miranda Bread

I’m used to the location in Marlboro but I moved to Worcester and I’ve had too many bad experiences here not to write a review.
Employees are more interested in the gossip between themselves than to take your order, the food here isn’t fresh like it is in Marlboro, the employees drink the juice out of the machine all day long, every time I come over they’re there drink log juice from the machine, not sure how the owner don’t notice this on his inventory.
The «comida brasileira» is terrible!!! Dried «macarrao» that my 3 year old refuse to eat and they sell «carne de panela» as «bife».
What a disaster ! I’m heading to McDonald’s !

Aye Vey!
Incredible food here!
Grab a Cochina con queso or a chicken on a stick.
Pro-​tip: Remember to fatten the tip (put mayonnaise on the tip of the Cochina before biting into it. Hot sauce is optional.)
Amazing quail eggs, sandwiches and guarana!

Best place for a quick, and delicious bite! Coffee is strong and sweet, breakfast sandwiches are huge and cheap! Pao de queijo (mini cheese bread) are 3 for a $ 1-​must try! We got coffee, water, an order of pao de queijo, and 2 sandwiches for under $ 10– can’t beat that anywhere! They also have appetizers, sandwiches, refrigerated Brazilian goods, and various breads/​desserts. The girls behind the counter are very friendly and helpful. My new favorite!

Brazilian ham wrapped grilled chicken sandwich complete with potato sticks and corn? CHECK
Huge golden cheesy coxinhas? CHECK
Freshly squeezed orange juice from a willy wonkaesque machine? CHECK
Beautifully built Brazilian women at the counter? CHECK
CHECK it out!

I’m highly disappointed. Just for a simple drink, I can’t believe I found a little surprise. Fruit flys dead in my OJ. This just makes me question how clean and sanitary this place is. This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star – cleanliness should always be a priority when it comes to serving customers.

I just swung in to buy some Italian bread as it is called «Miranda Bread company» got it home and it did not taste like Italian bread at all! (which is too bad because it did not really complement the meal I had made). The bread was OK but not great. lots of other items to buy but surprisingly not many breads! Staff was friendly and the place was clean. I may pop back in to try something else based on reviews. I did not realize that it was Brazilian, with that in mind I will give it another chance and stick to traditional Brazilian food!

went in here a few weeks back and was a bit confused by the menu. I ordered a burger. It was a great burger. After seeing the food the other people were eating I was jealous and reading these reviews I will have to go back and try other options. Still was a great burger.

The Tear drop chicken balls are delicious… I have been looking for this for so long. use to work in Framingham next to a bakery that had it… they also have chicken and cheese and beef here… they were all really good… I tried other pastries and was not a fan. I did have the coffee and it was nice and strong. sort of like an asian ice coffee. will be back for more coffee and chicken balls…:)

I don’t really go here for the breads.
I go here for those tear drop shaped, chicken filled, croquette (cones). As a caucasian guy, I have no idea what they are called.haha. Love the breaded fried chicken on a stick also. I have been looking for a good Brazillian place around here for a while that had them. In the summer we are on the CAPE and go to GOL in Hyannis/​West Yarmouth… and get them constantly, but I didn’t know where to go here. They are great. I also love the fresh rolls!!! 4 for $ 1.00 as I write this.
I only wish I could find a full brazillian market here with marinated steaks, marinated chicken breasts and hand made sausages of all different types like I get at GOL. In the summer we grill their stuff all the time out on the cape. So cheap compared to other Capish ripoffs. I so wish I could find that around here.
Overall I love Miranda and crave those chicken filled yummies… whatever they are called.

I use to work right down the road and live right down the road from Miranda Bread and I hate it because I gained way too much weight from it! I went in and their Brazillian food was lined up. So I just pointed and asked what things were. It was amazing! Beef pies were amazing, their fried cheese with beef. Unreal! Don’t expect too much healthy food, but I began walking to this place everyday for lunch. I even drive 20 minutes out of the way when going to my parents to stop by and get food!

I preface my review with saying I know this is a Brazilian bakery and did not expect to find what you normally would in an American Bread store.
I tried the coxinha (chicken and cheese in a tear drop shaped fried pastry), pao de quejo (cheese bread) and another fried pastry that had ham, cheese and oregano in it. All 3 were really really good. They weren’t greasy and had great flavor! Matter of fact their pao de quejo was the best one I have ever had (and I have had them from many places and even homemade ones)!!!
I was surprised when I tried their coffee — it was strong and really good!
I will definitely be coming back to try more of the different bread and pastries they offer.

I was very excited to find a new bakery, but Miranda bread was disappointing. I was put in charge of bringing good bread to a beef stew potluck, and decided on Miranda based on good Unilocal reviews. So, I feel inclined to throw in a different opinion.
Miranda’s definitely does not have very diverse options. I was hoping for a hearty, savory bread, but they don’t have any wheat breads or breads that would make for good sandwiches, etc. In fact, the woman said «All of our breads our sweet.»
Well, fine, I was pretty disappointed but decided to give them a shot. We got 6 little individual French loaves, which were decent, but definitely nothing to write home about. Then we also got the coconut bread loaf and the Italian bread loaf («It’s Italian bread, but it’s sweet»… okay, so this means it’s not italian bread). The coconut and Italian loaves were really plain, white breads with nondescript sugar glazes. Super disappointing.
Anyway I realize this is a Brazilian bakery and maybe it’s just a matter of cultural tastes, but if you’re looking for a range of bread options or something outside of the «white glazed sweet bread» category, then check out elsewhere…

On our hot dog tour of Worcester, we decided to get our sweet on and stopped in here to get it. We had one item that once we opened was a little runny and we did not even try to eat it, but they were very nice and took it back. We sat and tried a tiramisu/​pudding concoction. It was good but not earth shattering. I did take home a loaf of bread and it was a big hit with the gang.

This was a pit stop on our grand hot dog tour of Worcester. Plenty of bakery items to be had. I got a box full of different things to try. Most were yummy but a few were a little dry. I wish I had seen the tip from A.T. :(
Nonetheless, the price was right, the big box of goodies was under $ 5. We also got a chocolate pudding over cookies with real whipped cream to split. We all enjoyed it. We were going to try a rice pudding but it wasn’t set well. When I brought it up to swap for another, the girl pulled them off the shelf & didn’t charge us for the one we had grabbed.
I’m definitely grabbing one of those scrumptious looking cakes if I go back.

The sweet bread/​cake with figs/​coconut was surprisingly good! It seemed like a low-​key spot to grab some coffee and breakfast.

The strawberry and whipped cream cake is delicious. The cake itself is soaked in some kind of condensed milk mixture, and the filling is whipped cream mixed with strawberries. Yum. I also like the slightly sweet breads topped with coconut and moistened on the bottom with some kind of sweetened milk, although these tend to get dry during the day so I only recommend getting them when the case is pretty full.

I was starving and cranky and needed something, anything to eat. I’m driving down Shrewsbury St. when I see a sign for «BREAD». Good enough! I pull into the almost full parking lot and with toddler in tow, run from the downpour into a warm room.
The place is small but it is brimming with baked goods. I’d never ventured into a Brazilian bakery before but thankfully there were pictures so I could just grunt and point. The counter lady was very patient with me while I decided on a beef pastel, a sweet roll, and a small coffee. A full belly for $ 4.30 thank you very much!
The pastel was heaven. I am not a sweets in the morning type of gal. If I can get meat — I’ll take it. The pastel was an incredible hot and puffy fried dough filled with ground meat, onions, and scallions. With accompanying hot sauce it was the tastiest morsel I’ve ever had for snack. The coffee was perfect — hot, smooth and just enough sugar. My son devoured his sweet roll. It was a great egg bread (guessing by the bright yellow color) and topped with a light glaze and shredded coconut.
Looking around at the breads, cakes, and beverages I know that I have a safe haven to come back to the next time I leave the house sans breakfast.
