Went in because we were staying nearby, definitely a gem out here. Dont even bother going to Starbucks or chains, pastries and coffee are amazing here. Also a quarter of the price of what you will spend anywhere else. When I come back to vegas, stopping here again for sure.

Staff is really friendly🫶🏻 Place is cute 💕 Good place to go for a breakfast, tamales, cafecito y pan, etc… Or if you just want to have a seat and enjoy chismecito 🤭 I love the 3 leches and the iced latte ♥️

This is one of my favorite places in Vegas. I’m partial to the empanadas and iced coffee, but everything is absolutely delicious. This is one of the places that I always recommend to my friends to go to when visiting if they haven’t been before.

I bought 1 dulce de leche bun and 1 guava bun. Both buns barely had any filling in them. 99% of the bun was just plain bread. They only put minimal filling on the sides of the bun so it looks like the bun is filled, but that’s a lie. Is this normal? Also, a lot of the desserts do not have the prices listed.

What a great little gem in LV. There was a line to the door and the bread is definitely amazing. I will comeback to try other items. The only thing I wasn’t thrilled about was that they were so busy I felt rushed. I am not Colombian so I had questions about the bread and which ones were better and the person taking my order didn’t seem very happy. I wish they also had Colombian food at the bakery but we were told to go next door that would open in just 10 mins but we had a flight to catch and couldn’t wait.

What a delightful spot for Colombian Pastries. I had these at a meeting once, and since I was in the area visiting my other sites, I decided to stop by for pastries and tasted the flour beef Empanada. Service was really good too and the worker explained the different items they had. I ordered Bunuelo, Beef Empanada, and a few other pastries, but Bunuelo was the best. What is Bunuelo? It's a fried dough fritter made with cheese. This spot is cute, and I love the decor. Definitely will return to try other items.

What a gem inside the run down Commercial Center! Such a cute local Colombian spot. I love the flair inside. I ordered two pandebonos, one buñuelo, an order of huevos pericos, and a vanilla iced coffee. All of this for just $13! What a deal. I didn't know what a pandebono was, but I highly recommend this bread item; I enjoyed the subtle cheese taste and light texture. The buñuelo was also light and airy with a bit of sweet. I was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful and aromatic the eggs were, and the roll that came with it... chef's kiss. Fresh, warm, and perfectly chewy. I might even say that was my favorite thing. The vanilla iced latte was pretty basic, but you can't beat the value. It was a pretty good size for just $3.50! Totally worth it. Everyone behind the counter was friendly and ready to help. It gave me good vibes which made me feel at home. I would absolutely come back again!

Wow!!! I saw this when it opened but I wasn't well versed on Colombian food so I wasn't sure what to order. I knew pastries but I just kinda forgot. Well I was going to go to another spot in the same plaza but it looked closed so I drove around and locked eyes with Pasabocas so it was time to try Colombian food! It's so cute inside! I felt like I was transported to South America! I was greeted by a friendly person explained well on me ordering. I had a breakfast plate, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and onions that was so light and fluffy. Great flavor and it comes with a soft roll. I ordered the specialty bread and it had guava inside. Those were warm and delicious! I had a vanilla latte which was perfect! Looking forward to a weekly run here for breakfast!

The best Colombian bunuelos! Not to be confused with the flat crispy discs of cinnamon sugar bunuelos. If you're not familiar with the Colombian version you gotta try these! I've tried many over the years but this one is the best by far. Go for the dozen if they're not sold out. You'll crave them after you've driven off and down the blvd wishing you went for the dozen. It does contain dairy so pop a lactose if you need to. Kinda in a no man's land plaza but once you enter the parking lot stick towards the right side of shops down the center strip. You'll see the orange brick roofing and the bright and colorful patio table set up. Service was welcoming and super friendly. Inside tables, display cases of traditional Colombian pastries. Maybe next time I'll try those but we came for the bunuelos!

I've been coming here for months since my wife is Colombian and I regularly am in the area. Everything is super fresh and the service is great. I am a huge fan of Colombian food so this is so cool to have in Vegas.

Such a cute place omg I went in there and it was just so Colombia. I loved all flags and the hats hanging from the walls and ceiling. The city signs are so cute. Just decorated perfectly. I didn't get to order food but I did order Buñuelos and pandebonos. The buñuelos were amazingly good, so bomb! The pandebonos were okay. I am definitely coming back to try more dishes!

I thought I was there for the pastries, but go for the tamale!!! The pastries are good too and I took some home. The ball ones are chewy and mochi-esk. The best ones. Adorable on the inside and plenty of free parking on the outside.

You must try the bread here it is cheese fritters bunelos cheese fritters. You don't see the cheese just so soft and chewy very good. I also tried the caramel cookies to die for this place closes at 6 PM. This Colombian bakery is a hidden gem!. I ordered it over the phone and it was amazing. I did not know that they would have coconut caramel cookies so very good. I bought them all the ambiance transports you out of the country this is a great place to spend the afternoon sipping on something warm and tasting pastries.

For the last 5 year, I have come to this bakery at least 2x a year and even with family and friends. Every time we go, we would get at least 4 dozens of goodies to take back to CA. There's always been 2 older ladies that work there with great smiles and attitude and friendly. However this visit was disappointing. I texted and left a voicemail and attempted to message on IG about this issue, but to discover mold in the breads and how it doesn't taste as fresh was so disappointing. Service is always great but quality control is not. We have always gotten fresh bread as well but it was warm and soft even though the notice was short. I don't know what happened this time around. Will I come back and give it another at my next visit? Maybe. Also I have noticed the over the years, the shopping center have gone ghost town. Sad and disappointed. Bread is dryer than what I remember.

Came here for the first time this past weekend for breakfast. This colombian bakery came up on my Instagram feed and I've been wanting to check it out. So glad I did. This place was very nice and welcoming and the workers were super friendly, even with the language barrier. Plenty of seating. Also from the time we got there till the time we left there was a constant flow of people coming in. They have so many different pastries and breads to choose from. I had the Bunuelos, Pandebono con Bocadillo, and the Pan Breva. The pastries were all fresh and delicious. I also had a Caramel latte with soy milk to dunk my Bunuelos in :) I also ordered some empanadas de trigo and de maiz to go! They were delicious as well and very flavorful, especially with the side of sauce they came with! Definitely want to come back again to try the Tamales. They looked huge!

The map doesn't quite get you there and it can be a little shady, but trust me, push through that front door. Service is sweet and kind. A minimal language barrier, but it doesn't stop the ol' point and nod in the bakery portion. The savory goods are freaking delicious and should always be procured. The sweets are perfect because they are a light sweet. I bought 8 items for less than $17 and took a delicious bite of all of them. Interior is really cute and lively. Again, trust your gut and open that door. Ignore the people talking to themselves in the parking lot. Would I go back? Yes and I already recommended it to friends.

Insanely good & fresh. Stayed in Vegas for two days and got it twice. Friendly service also. Currently thinking about the empanadas late at night

It's a cute place. This is our 2nd time this week. The bread is good. They use yuca root blended with cheese. We tried the huevos pericos, it's nice and light. Very simple. We got a few of the Almojabana and Pandebono. We also got one with guava, I didn't get the name, but that was my favorite! Service is good! They're quick to take your order when you enter, and if you order food, it's quick. I'm not sure what's in the coffee, but that had me wired all day! The prices are decent and affordable. It's a nice spot to stop by have coffee and bread before work.

A must stop bakery for out of town Colombians passing through Las Vegas. Ignore the unassuming shopping center area and walk right inside. So many great, fresh and delicious bakery options. You can easily pick 10-12 items and stay in the $20 range (a steal in today's economy). I've tried a lot of different foods here and highly recommend the sweets over the savory items. In fact the empanadas are nothing special but there is hidden gold in the fresh baked items. The pandebono, bunelos and sweet items are the marquee items. Highly recommend the churro arequipe (doesn't look special) but probably the best desert item from a coffee shop that I've tasted in years.

Discovered this hole in the wall bakery during a recent Yelp search for bakeries. The area around the bakery is a little run down, and I am sure they would have a lot more business if they were located in a popular mall. But that would also mean the prices would also go up. Even though the staff doesn't speak much English, they are extremely helpful in taking your order. I bought 4 pastries and 2 meat empanadas for $10, which beats any of the overpriced LV strip celebrity bakeries. The best item is the bunuelos, which have a slightly crisp exterior and soft, chewy dough inside. It is not too sweet and tastes like a puff of heaven. It's a good thing that I only bought 2 of them; otherwise, I could have scarfed down a dozen at one sitting. LOL

Felt like we walked into Colombia when we stepped inside. It smelled of fresh bread, delicious meat, and yummy desserts. They had a great variety and everyone was so helpful. We ordered some empanadas, a tamale, cheese bread, and churro donuts filled with dulce de leche to bring a variety home for everyone to try. Everyone was happy! The food was fresh and very flavorful. Very fairly priced. We spent about $30 and took home a lot of food. Definitely going back to try their breakfast menu.

Came here for breakfast, while visiting Vegas. It's located in strip mall. The kids wanted some sweet pastry items, so we loaded up on those. All were delicious. The sweet lady behind the counter gave me a bunuelo to try, since I never had one and they were delicious!!! Freshly made in the back. I had to buy a whole bag of them. The bakery has tables and chairs to dine in and also some games for the kids. They were entertained while I was waiting for my coffee and fresh bunuelos. It's a charming, authentic place and I can only recommend it.

As we mourn the loss of the old Sausagefest, we can all find comfort in the fact that the space has not gone to waste! Pasabocas bakery has a warm and inviting feel in this Commercial Center location, and I couldn't be more pleased. I'm not that familiar with Colombian food, but WOWZA those baked goods are to die for! My first time having an Bunuelo and it was outstanding. I would describe it as a mix of a doughnut and fry bread with a pinch of heaven thrown in. I could probably eat those by the dozen! I hear they are Gluten Free too so we won't be bloated after eating our weight in them! The Churro is like a yeasty fluffy croissant that has dulche inside of it! Ugh I can't wait to try the rest of my haul. The service was great. I don't speak Spanish, but I wasn't uncomfortable to be there, and the girl who helped me indulged my questions on pronuciation of the breads I got. The prices are super reasonable and the wifi is fast. They have games and comfortable chairs for people to spend a bit of time there. I think I've found my new weekend laptop work spot!

I was so surprised when I stumbled upon this gem!! I tried the empanadas & couldn't just have one. In fact, I went back every day while I was visiting Vegas & even brought a dozen home with me. When I told the staff I was taking them home for my family back in CA, she was so excited & happy. She packaged everything nicely so it would withstand the travel back home.

I had the chance to have a Colombian tamale in Bógota and I thought it was the best kind of tamale I've ever had. Tried one here at this new bakery and they're still on top. They're filled with chicken and are very moist. Must try! The guava cheese and coffee were also great. Great ambience. There are some tables with plugs nearby for working and free WiFi.

I randomly came across this bakery while searching for new spots. I love Colombian food so I was intrigued when I saw photos of their pastries. I stopped by one morning before leaving town. It was definitely the cherry on top of an excellent trip. They have a variety of sweet and savory pastries. Some breads are filled with cheese and others with fruit preserves. I've had huevos pericos at a different restaurant and love them, so I had to order them here. I also got an iced latte as well as a hot chocolate. Oh, and I had to try their strawberry refresher. Honestly I tried everything and it was so delicious! I had to visit the next time I was in town and ordered other items, like their tamale and other pastries. My experiences here have always been great - not just with food, but also with a very friendly staff. My pleasant experiences made me visit their neighboring restaurant located at the other side of the plaza: Brasa Roja.

Great light breakfast treats for both savory and sweet desires. My favorite are the bunuelos and the pandebono con guayaba. Small place but had families coming in and out happy. The staff was nice enough to listen to my broken Spanish but I don't think there would've been an issue with ordering either way.

Very nice little bakery. The service was great and the place was very cozy. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of the food we ate, but all the bakeries we had were very tasty. I also had a cappuccino with caramel sweetener and it tasted like Christmas in a cup! I will definitely be back for more next time!

Bunuelos, anything with guava or cheese is very moist and delicious and very very tasty As soon as you walk in the door you'll hear BUENAS and the prices are just as good as the kind service here. If I were you, I'd grab (3) of everything ( this is what I usually do ) because it stays fresh and will last 72 hours or more if kept contained and refrigerated as a grab & go on your way to work/school.

This place is located in the weirdest shopping center I've ever been to in Las Vegas- where the original lotus of Siam is/was- I'm unsure if it's still open. If you're standing in front of lotus of Siam it would be the building in the middle of the parking lot. We ordered about 10 items, but 4 of them were bunuelos. My least fave was the Milhojas. I thought the layers would be crunchy, but they were not. The caramel on top was really good though. The woman taking the orders only spoke Spanish, so all of you non-Spanish speakers- be ready to do your best at pronouncing whatever it is that you want... at least everything's labeled. I also ordered a latte and you can choose from soy, almond, or regular milk- I believe. Their latte was def different from sbux, but I drank it all since it felt like -7 outside. The place had a good amount of tables and a seating area in the middle for a small group to get comfortable in. I'd come back and try the rest of the things I didn't order.

I don't even want to post about this place because I wanna keep it a secret! Literally the best and most cost-effective bakery I've ever been to! My jaw was on the floor with how low the prices were and the food is still quality! It's like your mom cooked for you at home. Don't judge by the outside because the inside is lovely and the customer service was superb! Just know that you might need to know some Spanish though to order. If you don't, speak slower and have more patience. It is worth it!

After traveling to Medellin, Colombia, I got so used to their pastries and arepas. This is our go-to place to get our fix when we start craving Colombian baked goods. The ambiance is modern chill, and there's plenty of places to sit if you want to enjoy your pastries there. Super friendly staff, too! If you like caramel/dulce de leche, try anything with arequipe. And anything with guava and cheese is amazing too!

What an awesome local spot. Will definitely outshine any Starbucks in your hotel. Stepped in here on our way out of town and wow!! What a bakery. Everything is made fresh and not with the American three addition scoops of sugar. :-) The Colombian coffee is supreme and non dairy options are available. We ate ourselves through the entire display and wow. This will be our go to spot when ever we are back in town. As a good bye we got a freshly made roll :-) what is there not to love.

Another hidden gem in Las Vegas that we've stumbled upon. Been to a restaurant nearby numerous of time but never noticed this place.... Having about 15 min till our reservation, we seen the store front and decided to walk in and kill time. And it's a good thing we did. The bakery was amazing. Fresh baked bread, empanadas, pastries and so on. Didn't want to overdo on what to get as we literally had dinner in minutes. Went with the cheese bread, and OMG, it did not disappoint. A loaf with cheese baked inside. Bread and cheese, always for the win. And the price, amazing. Let's just say, it went down really fast.... Plus, have to make another stop before heading home and loading up with more breads. Totally a place that we will be visiting during each trip.

I decided to check this place out after reading all the reviews and their food sounded so yummy. And they were! We came by on a week day so it was not crowded. We were sure what's what so we ordered a little of both savory and sweet stuff. I can't recall what we had but the beef empanadas were good and the pastries with guava were yummy. Their flan and bread pudding were good too. The lady who helped us was very friendly and their prices are decent. Go support them and try some delicious yummies!

Where do I start? I stumbled upon place randomly by searching "bunuelos" on Yelp. Found that it was just minutes away in a nearly vacant strip mall. It has now become my favorite Colombian bakery in Las Vegas. The bunuelos, pan de bono, empanadas and the almojabanas are my usual. I wake up early for the weekends for my usual treat of Pasabocas. I head down there minutes before they open to indulge in their freshly baked pastries. What I am really shocked by are the prices, trust me when I say your $20 will go a long way. I would say that this is definitely one of the hole-in-a-wall places that deserves more recognition. It is well ran, clean and never fails to deliver the freshness and goodness. Get your bunuelos now!

Really nice local spot, the workers are always friendly and the baked items are always fresh. We love anything with guava and their guava or guava and cheese pastries are our favorite. This is a mostly Spanish speaking place but there is no worries of a language barrier! We just pointed, tried out some Spanish and we got everything exactly as we wanted. This place was also decorated very beautifully for Christmas and it was very fun.

This business needs more exposure. Their breads and coffees are even better than starbucks or any of the other commonly known coffee shops. To top it off, the customer Service was top of the line. We were even offered the bread straight out of the oven. Cannot wait to come back to this shop. Yummy. Muchas gracias gente bonita.

I am definitely not expert on Colombian cuisine or their pastries, but as an accidental "tourist" that stumbled upon this new establishment in that giant plaza famous for Lotus of Siam, here is my stab at a wordy review. The bakery is surprisingly spacious inside, with tables and seatings spread out comfortably. The tables all have some kind of games for guests that are here to hang out. I only know the Jenga, but there is a game called Rummikub at the table I sat at, and Mancala at another, both games that I am unfamiliar with. Anyway, I have never been to a Colombian bakery before, and decided to check them out. I took a look at their menu, as well as, the baked goods in their display, which are filled with items I am clueless about. The cashier was friendly and briefly explained them to me. Empanadas was not one of the items on their menu or on display, so I was a little disappointed, but asked if they have empanadas just in case. Turns out they have 5 baking in the oven almost ready to come out!!! It was meant to be mine. Years ago I had the best empanadas while in Lima, Peru. It was from some grocery store, probably high end one, since it was near the beach in a upscale tourist area that have Dunkin' Doughnuts, Hard Rock Cafe (maybe even a Hooters), and many mall retail brands Americans would be familiar with plus it looks like it would fit right in in Santa Monica, CA. Oh yeah, about the empanadas from Peru that I still have fond memories of, even after 15 years. It was so good that I bought 2 more to eat on the plane. And I crave it that much more, because Peru "TSA" made me throw them away at airport security check, because I couldn't explain what it was to them when it got flagged going through the x-ray machine. The Beef Empanadas served here is pretty good, the pastry crust is not too thick or chewy, and eating just minutes after it came out of the oven made the experience that much more delightful. The Pandebono con Guayaba, Colombian Cheese Bread with Guava Paste, is also pretty good. The cheese bread reminds me of the ones served at Texas de Brazil, which would be an awesome snack on its own, but with sweetness from the guava paste inside. If you are not familiar with Colombian bakeries and up for an adventure, consider checking out this gem on E Sahara.

I loved this place! My family and I enjoyed buñuelos, roscones, pandebonos, tamales, and empanadas. Everything was delicious.
