Bossa Nova Brazil Market & Café

I saw this restaurant/shop as I explored Google Maps for the area and it was a pleasant find. The store is clean, neat, organized and shares space with their restaurant. The staff is nice, friendly, attentive and happy to answer any questions. I ordered a slice of pizza (they stuff the crust with Brazilian cheese) and they have a couple to choose from. Their coxinhas are fresh and they have chicken and beef. They have baked goods (including fresh bread) and pastries. I ordered the pasteis de nata and it was tasty. It is a nice addition to the area and worth exploring!

As an American trying Brazilian food for the first time, I walked in curious and walked out completely hooked—and it all started with their incredible CHICKEN WITH CATUPIRY PIZZA. If you’re searching for an authentic Brazilian restaurant near Orlando, this is the place to go. Made with tomato sauce, mozzarella, seasoned chicken, generous dollops of Catupiry (a creamy Brazilian cheese similar to cream cheese), oregano, and olive oil, every bite of this pizza was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. It’s indulgent without being heavy and wildly flavorful without being overwhelming—one of the best Brazilian pizzas near Orlando. From there, everything else just confirmed how special this Brazilian restaurant in Altamonte Springs truly is. We tried a BRAZILIAN BEEF PASTEL, and it was massive

The people running this place could not be more friendly nor accommodating. Lots of fun Brazilian specialties to explore. The selection of coxinha, Brazilian croquettes, stuffed with chicken, beef, and cheese were perfect bites. Don't miss out on the unique condiments and hot sauces which complement, perfectly, the bite. Really enjoyed the pizza with " secret cheese". And finally they brought out this type of warm corn pudding dessert, curau de milho, which they topped with cinnamon. Absolutely delicious. The coffee drinks are unique and when I ordered a cappuccino I thought I was getting a traditional cappuccino but it came with a nice dollop of sweetened whipped cream. People seemed enthusiastic about doing a great job and the place is neat and clean. I hope they do well.

Went here on a whim. I enjoyed my sandwich and some appetizers. The market is cute as well. I have never been to Brazil so I don’t know how the food compares, but I enjoyed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My new favorite spot in Altamonte Springs. I’m leaving a well-deserved five-star review for this amazing company. I’ve never felt more welcomed in a store than I did at Bossa Nova. I walked in as a first-timer and was immediately greeted with genuine kindness. Armando came over personally to say hello and made me feel right at home — and you can always tell a lot about a company by the way its team treats you. I met his daughter (I believe her name is Theresa), who was incredibly pleasant and welcoming. Then I met another team member who shared her story with me — she had worked at Panera for over a decade, lost her job, and Armando, one of her longtime customers, hired her without hesitation. She’s the kind of woman who feels like everyone’s grandma: warm, sweet, and loyal.
