I love this place so much. The best Colombian bakery I’ve ever been to. Their arepas de choclo are literally sooo gooood. Their empanadas are top notch. Their pan de bono- amazing.
Great coffee, pastries and breads. The empanadas look amazing and will be purchased soon.
This is one of my favorite Colombian Bakeries. Their almojábanas are insane good specially when fresh out if the oven. If you’re ever in the Sunnyside vicinity and stop in for an Colombian baked treat. They also have delicious empanadas and lunch specials. I’ve always been very happy with their lunch special, a lot if delicious food for a great price. Can’t go wrong here. Great Colombian coffee as well.

Great Food at great prices
Colombian bakery with all traditional food.
Nice home style meals
Delicious Colombian food. The place is very small and can be very busy so service can be slow but the food is good.
Good taste like homemade food especially their soups.

I was never there but I'm sure it's a nice place
They seem to run out of soup early
Best Colombian bakery but the place is too small and most of the time no tables available but the ladies who attend are hard workers and make you feel as a friend!
GOOD Colombian food specially the breast chicken grill w/white rice and salad.
They don't give you corn cake or beans in lunch set even they write it on their menu. Extra rice will cost you $2, which is a bit pricey comparing to their bread.

They lost me as a customer. While the staff is very nice, I can’t believe what they tried to pass off as yucca bread (pan de yuca). Dry, small, and slightly burnt. There are plenty of other options nearby. If you chose to go there, keep on eye what they put in your bag.
Went there because of the good reviews but was disappointed. Only the beef empanadas were good. Chicken empanadas didn’t have any chicken and were full of potatoes. The cheese bread was ok. Won’t recommend.

Went with my mother Food was decent. Bakery basic coffee is not the best taste kinda burnt. After eating our meal, my mother who is elderly needed to use the restroom. The lady working behind the counter said that restrooms are for employees only. So your a restaurant and let people sit and eat but they can't use your restroom. Okay I get it rules are rules, but to deny an elderly woman? Bad business!
This bakery has delicious bread, and food is decent. Unfortunately it has been multiple times already where myself and several other people I know from the neighborhood have complained about the excessive charges like “a service charge” on take out, and the place adds a self-tip themselves on a take out order, and overall more expensive than other Colombian bakeries in the neighborhood. I am very disappointed on how they have taken advantage of their customers. PLEASE ASK FOR A RECEIPT AND CHECK IT!!!!

3 times happened chicken soup doesn’t have inside chicken ! Don’t take to go .
$10 minium order from credit card, extremely small to eat, bunolous cold
They don’t have any clear menu so you don’t even know what they sell, and just charge whatever they want.
The lady is very rude making the bakery look really bad.
Food would be 5 stars but customer service doesn’t even deserve 1 star
