Les Amis Pastry Shop

At first we thought we made the wrong choice. Walking up to the bakery it seems weird. Until you get to the door and are greeted by doorman. He invites you in to another world. Once inside the place is magical. Lovely patio and indoor seating. The food is above heavenly. Highly, Highly recommend.

One of the BEST HIDDEN GEMS within Bogota!!!! Whenever I am in Bogota, no matter if the hotel is offering free breakfast (which I have insulted a couple of hotels when I skip their "free" breakfast and walk back in with the Les Amis brown bag) I will skip the free breakfast just to stop at this hidden shop (literally hidden due to I have had multiple Uber drivers after me what is this place)! They should be ranked in the top 5 for brunch and pastries within the city! Don't get me wrong the Slick Slack has a great breakfast, but Les Amis is the best! The French Toast is to die for! It is like they soak the homemade bread overnight, then perfectly batter and grill it up, adding fresh fruit and honey! Others have tried to replicate this version in the city and none of them have succeeded! The coffee and pastries are excellent as well!

Good pastries in general, the plain croissant really nailed the proper texture, buttery taste, and balance between crunchy and soft as well. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED with the pain au chocolat, I had the highest expectations (for the price I am paying here) only to get the filling with huge chunks of very hard chocolate, not the proper chocolate sticks, needless to say the dough for this one was stale and soggy. I would not mind this in another place but if this bakery takes pride in their pastry and charges high prices, I expect high quality as well. Other samples we tried were decent. Overall, I would try more things to give it another chance, but found this to be overrated.

Excellent place for brunch. Nice European cafe vibe with a lovely courtyard. Decent service. Food was excellent - highly recommend the French toast, mango with coconut cream and the pancakes. Would highly recommend and would like to return.

Talk about a unique place!! I only knew about this place due to it being a friends favorite hideaway! When you approach the unassuming bulding, you don't even know what kind of joy they have on the inside! The place is set up with a relaxed feel with plenty of natural lighting and the entire room was spotless. Bright colors and smiling faces filled the establishment and the smell of small batch coffee, pastries and empanadas wafted throughout. They have a diverse menu so you can stop in for just coffee or you could even stay for a full meal. They also have a very cool outdoor seating area (my favorite) that makes you feel like you are relaxing in the rainforest. I highly recommend this place and will make it a part of my routine for me as well as my friends! Se you soon!

Who knew a French pastry shop in Bogotá would make some of the best empanadas we’ve ever had? Les Amis offers a wide range of flavors, and of course, we tried every single one. The secret: French butter. It gives the empanadas a delicate, buttery richness that sets them apart from the local style, which tends to lean more savory. The shop itself is tucked inside a house, don’t hesitate, just walk straight in. Love their cute outdoor garden setting!

This little pastry shop is so charming. The empanados were so delicious and full of flavors. I had a croissant sandwich with eggs, avocado, and prosciutto. Everything was just so delicious. It smelled like a little piece of heaven. The atmosphere was very lovely. The art was beautiful.

The only place I came twice in 5 days in Bogota, and have come on every trip to Bogota so far. Incredibly charming atmosphere and the food and drinks are thoughtful, good, and affordable. I wish I lived beside it. (I particularly liked the brioche with rhubarb jam this time around).
