Not much to look at from the outside, but step inside you will not be disappointed. Delicious food, not just a bakery but something of a deli also. Good selection of snacks, breads, and pastries. Very friendly and helpful service. Loved it and will be back.
Man.....been open 1 month and are killing it!!!!!This place has got some serious Columbian food!!Plus some Cuban and Venezuelan foods as well...Pastries, you name it, they have it!! Or will make it....
Not just pastries. Plenty of sandwiches and the best empanadas. Owners are great people and the facility is so clean. I wish it was closer to 34th instead of the back of the plaza so more people could stumble upon it.

I walked in on a whim after seeing their sign. And holy mackerel! Their food is amazing!! I got pork arepa, beef empanada, a sweet roll and some strawberry cream cake to go at the suggestion of the cashier. I intended to share with the family, but it was all gone before anyone else had a chance to taste it. …
Love how tasty and economical the food is here! We got egg stuffed arepas, one with bacon and one without, a sausage and cheese empanada, and a tequeno. Everything was delicious, and the arepas were loaded to the brim with egg. Counter service attendant was very patient and friendly. We'll be back!
