Rico Pan Bakery

Where to Eat the Best Colombian Food in NYC

"There’s almost always a line at Rico Pan Bakery in Woodside, but we’d gladly wait in it even if it were twice as long. This cash-only, counter-service spot makes a variety of excellent, affordably priced sweet and savory baked goods (get at least one beef empanada, and a buñuelo with a crust as crisp as funnel cake), as well as very good coffee and chicharrón. Do not leave without pocketing a few servings of their herby, homemade hot sauce. Stop here to stock up on treats before heading to a friend’s apartment and you will be in their good graces forever." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
