Pão de Queijo

Brazil's best bite.

Crispy outside, stretchy and cheesy through the middle, and impossible to eat just one. Pão de queijo is the snack Brazilians grew up on, the thing that shows up at every table, every hour of the day, without needing an excuse. Made from cassava starch, naturally gluten free, and built for sharing. The traditional version is simple. These are not.

How to Prepare

Straight from the freezer. No thawing, no prep work, no dishes. Air fry 5 to 10 pieces at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until golden. Oven works too. 400°F (200°C) for about 12 minutes.

The lineup.

Alho — garlic confit pão de queijo

GARLIC

Slow-roasted garlic with an extra cheesy middle.

Bacon e Cebolinha — bacon and chive pão de queijo

BACON & CHIVE

Bacon and chive all the way through. Smoky, savory, gone before you realize.

"Pizza" — ham, oregano, tomato pão de queijo

"PIZZA"

Ham, oregano, tomato sauce. Tastes exactly like you think it does, but better. Order it before you question it.

Goiabada — guava paste pão de queijo

GUAVA

Sweet guava paste tucked in the center, warm and gooey through every bite. The Romeo and Juliet of pão de queijo.

Pro Tips

  • Recommended order quantity depends on a few factors, but we normally suggest planning for 2 to 3 pieces per person, minimum.
  • For best results, cook and serve in batches. Pão de queijo is best fresh, when the shell stays crispy and the middle stays soft and stretchy.
  • Use caution serving the guava flavor. It's arguably the tastiest, but the jam center gets lava hot while cooking. Give it a minute before putting these out for guests straight from the oven.
  • All four flavors are naturally gluten free, which makes mixed guest lists easy. Every batch does contain dairy and egg.
  • The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility we have on flavors and delivery timing, especially for weekend events.

Who's Mary

The person behind the pão.

I grew up in Missouri and ended up in Tampa the way most good things happen: not exactly planned, but exactly right. Eight years in fine dining taught me what it actually means to make someone feel welcome. That is where I found Thiago. His accent got my attention first, obviously, but his energy and his heart are what led me to marry him a few years later. He is Brazilian, and this food comes from his culture, his family, his home.

Growing up, I went to school with kids who looked like me, ate the same food as me, and listened to the same music as me. Now, my doctor is Colombian, my hairdresser is Puerto Rican, and my neighbors are Cuban. On weekends I sit in my backyard and listen to my neighbors laughing and singing in a language I'm still learning. I don't know all the words, but I sing anyway. I laugh. That feeling is exactly what I want to package up and hand you every Sunday.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I have to be home for delivery?

Yes. Your order arrives frozen, and Florida heat is unforgiving. I deliver your order to your door personally so that I can guarantee someone is available to receive it (and so that I can thank you!) I do ask for your preferred time of day for delivery when you place your order. I also confirm with you the day before, so we can make changes if something comes up.

What happens if no one is home when you arrive?

Unfortunately, I will have to keep your order. But I will reach out to you right away and can either offer a full refund or move your delivery to the following week — whichever works better for you.

What allergens should I know about?

All four flavors are naturally gluten free. Every batch contains dairy and egg. We are a dedicated nut-free kitchen. If you have a specific concern, send me a message on WhatsApp before you order and we'll figure it out.

How do I cook them?

Straight from the freezer. No thawing, no prep work, no dishes. Air fryer: 5 to 10 pieces at 350°F for 15 minutes until golden. Oven also works: 400°F for about 12 minutes.

How long do they keep in the freezer?

Up to 3 months if sealed well. Once you take them out, cook them within 24 hours and do not refreeze.

How many come in an order?

Orders are priced by the dozen. The one-time minimum is 2 dozen ($15 each). Bi-weekly subscriptions start at 4 dozen ($12 each). Monthly subscriptions start at 6 dozen ($10 each). A delivery fee is added at checkout based on your zip code. Mix flavors however you want within your order.

Can I order for an event or a group?

Yes! Check out Events & Celebrations above for bulk pricing, or send us a message on WhatsApp or Instagram with details about your event and we will be in touch.
