Valentina's: A Legacy of Flavor and Community

Valentina's is more than just a market; it's a Family. Named after Maria's mother, who ran the store from 1984 to 2012, Valentina's has been a pillar of the community for over 30 years.

Maria, herself an immigrant from Graciosa Island in the Azores, took over the store in 2016 and has since grown it into the vibrant marketplace it is today. Her dedication to quality and community is evident in everything they offer.

A Commitment to Tradition and Freshness:

Weekly deliveries of fresh fish straight from the Azores.
An authentic Portuguese-style espresso bar for a taste of Europe.
A growing selection of Portuguese beers and wines added in 2024.
Valentina's: Where Passion Meets Expertise:

Maria and her team are passionate about sharing their love of Portuguese and Brazilian cuisine. They're not just store owners; they're cultural ambassadors, always happy to answer your questions and guide you on your culinary exploration.
