Seabra Foods

I like shopping here more than Publix…
As the Publix commercial says «Where shopping is a pleasure» — what they don’t say is «at a cost…»
Don’t get me wrong I still like Publix — I just feel everything there (unless buy one get one) is overpriced. $ 3.99/lb for Red Peppers? — $.99/​lb over here. Though I will say the Publix produce in general looks aesthetically nicer than Seabra (All the red peppers look like they are ready for a commercial vs Seabra’s peppers being in non-​symmetrical shapes — which is normal).
Seafood here is much fresher and larger selection than Publix as well — there is almost always a line so their product turns over very quickly.
Meat department is equally as awesome — most don’t speak very good English, but they are able to understand what you want fairly easily. They also don’t make a fuss if you ask for an unusual cut (ie cutting cross bones ¼″ on Short ribs for Kalbi — Publix won’t do this)
So I just highlighted the 3 things I love about this place — Produce Section, Meat/​Butcher Counter & Seafood counter. The rest of the store kinda just feels blah — aside from their offerings of many items you would never see at a Publix and worth trying out. Some things are better purchased at Publix — example — Baking materials — flour, cake accessories, etc better off at Publix.
Oh oh — if you are in the area before or shortly after Easter — be sure to check out their giant golden foil wrapped chocolate eggs — vary in size from Softball sized to larger than footballs — its a Portuguese/​Brazilian thing I guess :-)

I shop Seabra grocery one a while before. It is Brazilian market with huge selection but the staffs at that store treated me different because I am white. Everytime I come, They just look unfriendly. I saw a bagger to do bag other customers. When I came to cashier. The bagger just walked away because I am white. That’s why I don’t like that place now because all employees at Seabra are rude to white people. Cashier at the Publix always say hello. Brazilian Seabra don’t. I agreed with Melissa A.‘s comment about perverted men. I can’t stand to see low — life men stand front the store. Publix don’t do that.
Publix at Sawgrass Propmenade is only one mile north. I like there.

Love this place! I did ask if it was the same Seabra’s from Newark, NJ and was told it wasn’t, but it is the largest Portuguese/​Brazilian supermarket in Florida with enough that is the same as in NJ. It’s worth the drive from the Miami area to come here to stock up.

This is the best Brazilian market in the area with great prices. Its almost entirely Brazilian products. Huge selection. You will feel as if you are in a Brazilian supermarket. Beware of the disrespectful and perverted men that have major starring problems that shop there and shops in the plaza. Otherwise, this is an excellent market.

This grocery store has a strong odor and doesn’t seem to be very clean. The prices are high compared to Publix and their bakery dept. has a very limited and not very good selection. I would avoid this store unless you have an over-​riding reason to shop there.

Seabra is a Brazilian/​Portuguese supermarket chain from the Northeast (mostly New Jersey and Massachusetts) — and it’s pretty well-​stocked. From what I understand, the Seabra stores are nicer in the Northeast — but hopefully this will change if and when Seabra expands its presence locally.
I was impressed with the selection of reasonably-​priced products that they have, especially from the more elusive Portugal. Portuguese people in Miami usually say that this is the best market to go to in South Florida as the other markets that caters to the community are mostly just Brazilian — and on top of that, they tend to be smaller than this store.
They had various and extensive products:
Brazilian:
+ products for BBQ (whole picanha, cheese on sticks for grilling, etc)
Brazilian & Portuguese:
+breads (corn, garlic, portuguese, tatu breads to name a few)
+candies & cookies
+cheeses (including the famous one from Serra region in Portugal)
+chocolates (including Portugalia brand)
+cosmetics and hygiene products
+pastries (like pasteis de nata)
+sausages (fresh & packaged)
Portuguese:
+artesanal products
+bacalhau (I don’t recall seeing a bigger selection elsewhere than here. They even have bacalao tongues)
+honey (from Algarve region)
+sardines (canned, fresh, & frozen) and other fish (i.e. Dorada, Joaquinzinhos)
+wines
They had other products from Latin America as well — an interesting assortment of empanadas from Ecuador in the frozen foods section, Venezuelan cachapas and cheeses in the deli section, etc). I will be back.
They need another Seabra store — in Miami.

We got the name of this place while dining in a Portuguese restaurant in Miami. The guy told me they got good Pasteis de Nata here. Sure enough, theirs are not perfect but I’d say the best I’ve tasted on this continent so far (not just S Florida)!
We love the bread here too, v good price. Also a good selection of Portuguese stuff but when we shopped a lot of the sardines were out of stock. There is a large meat and seafood dept, with cuts and varieties you don’t see in regular supermarkets, but as some reviewers pointed out, the cleanliness is a bit lacking. The produce is not very bright looking either, and I am not even comparing it to Wholefoods, just regular WD and Publix. They have some interesting selection of cheeses, but as I got a bunch in my fridge already I didn’t buy any.
In conclusion, we will definitely return for the bakery and the dry goods, but not for the perishables.

Nice Brazilian supermarket. We stop by to get some of the pre-​packed goodies like «requeijao» which is a cheese spread, «garoto» chocolates, «yoki» cheese-​bread, acerola juice and «doce-​de-​leite». We didn’t buy any of the fresh produce as we were staying in a hotel. Staff was nice but the store had a funny smell. Not sure what was that. I would say this is a good market to get your Brazilian packed products.

First time driving through Pompano Beach, and I almost hit a car when I discovered a Seabra’s sign. But, like Jean Reno, I swerved my way out of trouble and back into coolness.
This place is legendary. There’s a Seabra’s in my hometown (Hillside, New Jersey); where coincidentally like Pompano Beach, also has a large Brazilian/​Portuguese community — made me feel at home.
Although I didn’t feel the authenticity of its sister-​chains in Newark area, they still have a number of Brazilian products that could make you some serious Dobradinha.
The fortuitous moment, and the captured memories made it all worth while.
I’ll return, someday.

Not your normal neighborhood supermarket… More like your normal Latin American supermarket.
My three star review is not based on the staff and the cheap, authentic Latin products this market carries, which is great. It’s based on everything else about it.
Great selection of Portuguese wines and beer! They have tons of Brazilian and Portuguese food items as well– everything from coffee, cookies, deli meats and cheese, to meat, dairy and poultry– everything is either Brazilian or Portuguese, for the most part.
The store isn’t that clean, which makes me wonder what the other two reviewers witnessed when they went there. The last few times that i’ve been here things were acceptable but nowhere near the standard of cleanliness that you receive at Whole Foods.
The meat, fish, and poultry didn’t look that fresh either. Or maybe it’s a little too «fresh.» The fish that they have are whole fishes– not fillets. So i’m assuming that the guy behind the counter cleans them for you? Regardless the items behind the glass do not look atheistically pleasing. It’s all a little too bloody, and needs to be re organized and cleaned up a bit.
The plaza where this place is located is very dirty, crowded, and untamed. the shopping carts also need to be updated as they are really dirty, old, and the majority don’t run too well.
The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. Basically everyone who works here is either Brazilian or Portuguese, which is nice and adds to the authenticity of the supermarket. Smiles from everyone and kind words as well. Everyone is extremely humble and kind, I would come back just for the friendly and welcoming service and environment.

This place is amazing! A full sized supermarket (almost the size of a Winn Dixie, Piggly Wiggly, Publix or whatever) selling almost exclusively Brazilian and Portuguese oriented products. If I lived closer I would shop here weekly! The store is indeed quite clean and the staff is helpful. Prices seem to be in general OK. I was disappointed that they don’t have much in the way of Brazilian beer, they actually carry several varieties of the Portuguese beer Sagres but not much Brazilian beer. Lots of wine from both Portugal and Brazil. And tons of food products from both places. A wonderful store if you have an affinity for anything from Brasil or Portugal.
