Food is tasty and the plants are gorgeous! Lovely place to visit, but I wish they were open in the evening for dinner and not just morning/

This place looks LOVELY! I used to live a block away from them over a year ago so I would pass by pretty frequently after work to get some alfajores, pan de bono or chicken and cheese buns -and their pastries were always very very good ?Super clean and cozy with many outdoor seats, perfect for summer - not really that many seats indoor thoughI passed by again a couple of days ago and their alfajores have changed quite a bit ? not really a fan of the new version BUT their pan de bono was delicious!They now have more pastry options (like pan de bono with guava filling ? - super tasty by the way)I would definitely love to return another time to grab some breakfast and coffee - and try some of their latest menu additions

I’ve been to Salento in Colombia and seeing a coffee shop with a mural of Bosque de Los Palmas was a sight to see. Of course there was a line out the door because everything about the food was delicious. Pan de bono was tasty and if you want a sweet treat try it with guava. The service was on the slower side but it’s because they take their time preparing their food. Def recommend!

Cafe looks cute. The service is super slow. The coffee is not good, even though we came specifically to get decent Colombian coffee. And the pastries are average, nothing special. The tips are not optional, but obligatory for take away ??‍♀️ I would not recommend this place.

Cafe is cute and food was decent. The first time I went it was a nice experience.But the second time I went the service was horrible. Completely ignored at the counter for a while until I politely said excuse me and she acted like she just saw me. But I was standing there for a while obviously ready to pay. This happened twice in the. Recommend this place if you would like nice pastries, but slow service, and being ignored was not appreciated.

Incredible cafe with authentic Colombian food. A rarity to have a cafe open until 8 pm., too. However, there is no WiFi!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

This is a cute Colombian bakery & cafe in a largely Dominican neighborhood of the Heights- small in size, but with large offerings that would make any Colombian feel right at home here in the northern half of Manhattan. The bakery is really a standout in all of New York - with a solid plethora of different traditional baked (and a few fried) items that I haven't seen many places carry. The Colombian corn-fried beef empanadas are delicious - I asked for lime to go with it since it's what I do and it always enhance the flavors, rubbing the lime on the crispy corn flour exterior (and squeezing the juice inside for the beef too). But for the spicy aficionado, it does also come accompanied with a spicy chimichurri (it's not for me). The passion fruit juice here is also great, and I had a lulo (aka naranjilla) drink as well that was good - but sadly there was no lulada on the menu which I usually prefer over the lulo juice - hopefully one day soon it'll appear! I was surprised to see they had trucha (trout) on the menu - it's a very common Colombian/Venezuelan inland dish in the sense that it's what many people eat for fish around the country (except along the coast where there are more options like the red snapper). I ordered that, and it was also delicious - it was filleted but not deboned - and it was delicious - I would order this again for sure. I do also want to come back for their coffee offerings which look substantial, as well as for their breakfast offerings and more of their bakery items to accompany the wakening hours. The service was also friendly, patient, and warm - most of the people coming in take food to go due to the size of the business. There's outdoor seating but it is not utilized much during the cold months.

OMG! What a place, my third time here and today was not different. Go for the traditional Colombian breakfast platter...WOW!!!

This is a place that takes you away from the gritty city for a bit. It reminds me of the places I would buy when I was a kid. Very family oriented and friendly. The food is very tasty and addictive. You will be pleased.
