Patio Tropical

"In Williamsburg, Patio Tropical is a coffee shop and bakery, and also the vibrantly pink brick-and-mortar evolution of a Colombian chef’s pop-up. Inside the store This Is Latin America, the cafe specializes in breakfast options using a custom chorizo blend, pan de bono and pan dulce, as well as empanadas." - will hartman, bryan kim

We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman

"If you’re looking for the kind of cafe where you can have a casual full breakfast or lunch and linger for a while with a laptop, Patio Tropical should be on your radar. Tucked behind an artisan shop called This Is Latin America, it is a heated atrium that streams with natural light evoking a little tropical oasis. Here, Stephanie Bonnin explores her South American background — she’s from Barranquilla, in Colombia — as well as wider Caribbean influences. Pastries like pan de bono, a Colombian cheese bread, alongside dishes like the beef dish sancocho, are all made in-house. The menu plans to change frequently, with occasional pop-up dinners by rotating chefs at night." - Emma Orlow

"A Latin American daytime counter-service spot offering Colombian cooking." - Emma Orlow
