New Colombian Bakery recently opened this week. I'm loving its proximity to the Steinway Street subway station. I find it so convenient that I'm able to grab breakfast and lunch here on my way to work in the mornings. The staff are super nice. I was asking a lot of questions on my first visit there about the various pastries they had and when they couldn't explain in English, they smartly got out their phone and google translated the answers for me!
The bakery feels very spacious for the small space; the front and along the counter there are plenty of seating. They offer traditional Colombian bread, pastries, cakes and food. I've had their beef and chicken empanadas, chorizos, patatas and breads. The empanadas were delicious. The crust was nice and flaky but soft at the same time. The beef and chicken fillings were a tad dry but when you add the sauce; it's pretty great. The chorizos come with one baked potato per order. The chorizo is more on the savory side and not at all spicy.
I must point out that they currently don't have a menu posted anywhere in the store or online. And the items in the display cases do not have a label, that I saw. So, it was a guessing game on how much my purchase would cost until I got to the counter. Not a huge deal but worth noting.
Otherwise, I think this bakery is nice addition to this neighborhood and worth supporting.
