This is such a cute, cozy and classy bakery/restaurant. I really enjoyed the caramel oat milk lattes. Good and fast service and was decorated so nicely for the holidays. Tried their egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant , it was good. Not something I'd get again but it did its job. read more

I passed by this spot and was lured in by their beautiful Thanksgiving/Fall decor! It looked very inviting, and the cakes looked super delicious. I was looking for a small treat, so I ordered a small hot chocolate, a beef empanada, and chorizo with a mini arepa. I also ordered a dozen mini bunelos to enjoy at home! The bakery is consistently busy, and throughout my time there, there was always a line of 5-6 people waiting to place their order. Most people were doing lunch special takeouts. I ordered the beef empanada, which was nice and crispy. I thought the filling itself was too mushy for my liking. It feels like the potato and meat were pureed, which is not the consistency I usually expect. The chorizo and arepa were pretty good and what I expected. The small cup size for the hot chocolate... is pretty tiny... lol And the hot chocolate was made with dark chocolate, which I don't particularly enjoy, so I asked for milk. The cashiers gave me no issues when I asked for more milk, which I appreciated! The mini bunelos were my favorite! They were delicious and yummy and the perfect treat to share with family and friends. While I liked the decor and the ambiance, I do have to give their food another try because I do think it was just ok. I can get better empanadas elsewhere. Their food is decent if you don't mind waiting and would like a cute cafe to sit in. This area of Queens is FILLED with so many Colombian bakeries, so my rating is what it is because the competition is tough in Jackson Heights! read more

I've eaten here twice during different seasons of the year and both times I have been pleased with the experience. This small bakery has a wide variety of foods from breakfast thru dessert. It is clean and well kept. The faux lemon tree inspires a lot of kids to reach up. It's cute and always a delight to see something so simple inspire so much joy. The service is excellent and the prices are a little bit higher than some other places but the quality is high too, as other reviewers have mentioned. In the background is music with infrequent commercials. It's the pop songs we know but in classical format or simply classical piano music. The soursop con agua sin azucar is tangy in a good way. If you can't handle fruit tang they can add sugar and/or blend it with milk. The churrasco de pollo was good. I wasn't expecting dark meat. It wasn't over salted either, but it could have used some salsa verde or extra ground pepper for a little bit of flavor. The salad is a good size and has a little dressing for extra flavor. The rice was al dente and tasty. The plantain was cooked to perfection. The pollo con crema (soup) was excellent. I would come back here for that alone. The donut... I'll take a bite now so there's no suspense! I'm not sure of the name of it, but it looks like a Boston cream. The cream isn't as tangy as the cream inside of a Dunkin Donuts Boston cream for example. It's much lighter. The donut itself is cakier and softer. The chocolate isn't overpowering and the sprinkles add a nice crunch. The last time I was here, I had one of the egg platters on the menu behind the register on the wall. I believe it was #3 (see photograph). They misunderstood me and gave me two orders which explained the cost , but I ate both in one sitting because it was THAT good. Definitely will be back for another round in the future. Happy eats! read more

Place is cool! Instant Spanish guitars music! Feels like you're on a tropical mountain on Colombia! We got a chocolate brownie flan and a passion fruit cake! Both incredible! Very sweet but not terrible on the way down! Extremely addictive be ware! read more

For starters the waitresses have an attitude and give push back when theyre being corrected on an order. they speak about the client while the client is waiting to be attended to. Its unprofessional. The music is very loud and they wont put the volume down. There is no restroom and the food is over priced as well. They get no stars. Sorry not sorry. read more

Food (4/5): Solid flan that was delicious and not too sweet. The latte we got was alright and not too good though. Service (4/5): The line was a bit long but the food and drink came out quite fast. Ambiance (5/5): Beautiful storefront with tons of flowers and many cakes on display. Looks very serene and a great spot visually. read more

I was charged an unexpected fee for a take out. It was not stated on the menu, or on a sign. Very rude staff

I tried the one in Astoria first and wasn't loving it. Expensive and not to my taste. Ordered food from Mario's and went o get dessert to this one and service was slow. Two women behind the counter with 3 ppl ahead. Got the Oreja, the cream custard pastry and a chocolate donut. The glaze on the pastries make it look plasticy. The texture is bready not like a dessert. And not sweet. My favorite place is on Roosevelt ana 91st but they only take cash and I was heading in the other direction. I gave it two chances. Won't be going again. read more

I walked in recently after checking out the beautiful Thanksgiving/Fall decor outside upon entry. That's right! The presentation is on point. I came in wanting empanadas and walked out with said empanadas. I ordered two chicken empanadas which were delicious! They were made with the corn shell and tasted so good. I also had to try the empanada de cambray. It was tasty. Filled with queso blanco (cheese), dulce de guayaba (guava paste), y miel (honey), it was yummy. I enjoyed my snacks, and I would return to try more baked goods and other foods. read more

This is not a traditional looking Colombian bakery. It is modern and sleek and you can tell that this place caters also to the yuppies in the neighborhood. For example, they do have familiar items like pan de bono, bunuelos, tres leches cake, empanadas and mini bandeja paisa. But they also offer an American breakfast, espresso, lattes, red velvet cake, tiramisu, cheesecake, and other American bakery staples. The prices here are also higher than other Colombian bakeries in Jackson Heights. However, I have eaten several things from here and the quality of everything was very good. The slices of cake they sell are also very generous in size and filling too. read more

Café De Colombia - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I came here with my brother last night. I was first attracted to it because the outside of the cafe is filled with flowers. I love flowers and thought it was beautiful. I had a Colombian coffee and got a guava pastry and a cheese pastry. The coffee was one of the best I have had. The pastries were also very good. The owner was super sweet and really made our experience. We loved speaking with her. Hands down, most beautifully decorated bakery I have ever been to. They also change their decor seasonally. read more

Everything need to improve... or the owner should retire ... or get new employees... or train your employees ... the worst customer service in the area ... pricey- not good coffee - cakes look good ... not inviting and bad energy ... tried them a couple of times ... so this is not a one time situation with how rude owner /employees are. read more

Best bakery in Jackson Heights Colombian pastries are authentic & delicious. Their cakes are top notch ... Worth the price! Try: flan, chocolate cake, tiramisu and definitely the Colombian black cake read more

The guava juice was insane soooo good. Passion fruit juice was a bit unripe but that just means it's fresh. The sugarcane drink I would pass. The flan was dense and hands down the biggest one I tried so far. 30 mins limited seating. Would come again to try the other stuff. read more

Café De Colombia - Napoleon with berries, chocolate glazed with sprinkles and chocolate mousse cake. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Cute bakery from the outside: 2 stars instead of 0 because of the cakes alone - they are actually decent slices of cakes . However, the service is horrendous... My mother and I stood in a line with 5 others on a weekday in the afternoon for over 10 minutes with the line not moving an inch. There were 3 ladies behind the counter, all chit chatting, with 1 of the ladies tending to 1 customer in the front of the line and the other 2 that have no care for taking the next person in line. It's like the customers didn't exist. Super strange, as if they didn't want the business - there are other bakeries in the area with quicker and attentive service with great cakes too. Last time we'll be visiting this establishment. read more

Stumbled upon this place after eating dinner across the street at Papas Kitchen. The decor of this restaurant caught my eye and made me want to venture in. The lady behind the counter let us know the decor changes seasonally and focuses on things from Colombia. It was so beautiful I could sit there everyday. I order the guava and queso empanada and a Colombian coffee, which is coffee and hot milk(Cafe con leche). The coffee here is amazing I thoroughly enjoyed it. The empanada pastry was good but no better than average and I wouldn't run back for it. Next time I would just drink coffee here and maybe bring a book or some work. read more

Café de Colombia in one picture .Is there less then a star ? The worst place !!!! Please don't come here at all . Born and raised in this neighborhood.After a long night of work I wanted to get a cup of coffee near my home .I could of easily bought a coffee at Starbucks but decided to support my local business, especially the Colombian ones with everything that's happening.No one was in the store and I walked in the bakery with my service dog .They told me I wasn't allowed to be with my dog even though I showed them my pets service paperwork .Not only didn't they not serve me but the owner didn't even speak to me or offer me any time of solution to this situation. Please don't support this business!!!!!!!!! read more

im picky w my empanadas, but this place is different one of my empanada stops. They are really good and so are their pandebonos and buñuelos. Theyre so fluffy and soft always amazing :) To take home multiple items i'd have to go early because they rarely have anything at night. service is good and workers are nice. Also theyre lgbtq supportive (: read more

From the outside this cafe is cute & inside, it seems clean and cute. However, our experience here recently has convinced us (and we've already told others in this neighborhood) to never give them our business again. As soon as we went in, we felt an aloofness and unwelcoming air from the associate behind the the counter (sadly, we got that strong unwelcoming air b/c we weren't Latino/spoke Spanish when ordering). We carried on, despite their continued unpleasantness and disagreeability, and ordered about $30 worth of food and drink--a tad high but everything is a bit more expensive these days. We placed a good tip in the tip jar (despite not really deserving it). We sat down for a few minutes. The drinks we ordered for our 2 toddlers were too hot, so we went up & asked one of the staff members for a small extra cup. The staff/counter person asked her colleague in Spanish what we had asked for & then with a familiar & standard-unfriendly-tone-reserved-just-for-us said, "It's 50¢." Ummm, no. This just added to our overall dismay & uneasiness we felt. What's worse is that the cookies weren't that great; they tasted "old." This is an honest review but because it's from our POV, it's completely subjective. Therefore, if you've had a nice experience here, good for you but we will never give this place our time & money again, which is a shame since it's in the neighborhood; thankfully this neighborhood has other amazing options. And it was our mistake: as soon as we entered & felt those negative vibes, we should have left. Lesson learned. Going to Café de Colombia was an upsetting experience & they should know that they succeeded at one thing: making my family & I feel sh***y & unwanted. read more

The customer service of this place is the worst, I had a terrible experience here, also the owner does not appreciate the customers, she screams ,she is aggressive and very rude. I do not recommend this place in any way they treat you badly, make you wait and yell at you ...especially the manager she was supposed to be polite but .she treat the people so bad omg !! I'll never come back there again. bad energy the worst customer service ever. read more

All I can say is service at this bakery is amazing! They definitely deserve more exposure and clientele. It's my second time ordering a custom cake and the quality was phenomenal. I ordered my cakes about 4 days in advance and they accommodated every request I made. I had originally ordered my cake to be picked up at 2pm, but my family wanted to start the party earlier so I asked to come in at 12pm. The staff was very understanding and they had my cake ready for me. When I got there the owner Margarita welcomed me with a smile and showed me the final product. I was pleased with everything and she even gave me a free cake topper. Thank you for making my sons birthday and my nieces baptism so special! read more

I love the bread here but unfortunately the ladies that work the counter are so rude and impolite makes the coming here so unwelcoming and uncomfortable. There's only one lady her name is Alejandra she's the only one that has managed to make my order and coffee worth getting there! Thanks Alejandra! I hoped the ladies were more welcoming sucks so much that they aren't no one at my job likes going there or having anything from there just because of the service!!!!!! Sunday March 27 I went to have breakfast at 9am and the lady who told my order was just unpleasant! When asking about my breakfast she looked at me nasty and annoyed!

Excellent service today to buy 2 empanadas (beef and cheese) that both were $2 each and it was affordable for breakfast before going to work and to take a morning walk around the neighborhood while my mom has a doctor's appointment! Both of the beef and cheese empanadas tasted really good and it came with the green sauce! When I walked in, the lady greeted me in a friendly way and spoke a bit Spanish to me that I understood what she's saying tho that she was saying, "Hola amigo, ¿Cómo estás?" (Hello my friend, how are you doing?) and I spoke in English to take my order instead. I should've spoke Spanish to her while I take my order...Oh well and hopefully next time I'll try to speak some Spanish when I come back again or go to another Spanish bakery while taking my order(s) and to keep on practicing my Spanish! I'd just realized that Spanish is one of my favorite languages to take, speak and learn and hopefully I can speak well enough! Anyways, after I had my food, she asked me nicely if I want some more, I told her in English that I don't want anymore, thank you with a smile on my face. Finally, I would definitely come back here again and hopefully I'll feel confident enough to try to speak some Spanish while I take my order(s)! :) read more

Absolutely the worst and most biased people ever. I had come in there once to apply for a part time job was greeted with a not even welcoming hello and the first thing they asked me was my background and told them which was definitely not Colombian . the lady there which I suppose is the owner or manager looked at her co-worker and quickly said No and dismissed me. read more

I love this cafe, it's cozy and small so don't come here hoping to sit and be on your laptop, go elsewhere. Delicious food and decent cakes but their breads are excellent. I've been going frequently now because my kid will actually sit and eat a meal here which is a bonus for us since she's so picky. The ladies aren't rude, they're busy multitasking in a small cafe that is usually busy, so they're not going to stand there and listen to your comments and questions- order and pay. read more

No es la primera vez que vamos con intención de comer colombiano y nos tratan de lo peor. Hoy Agosto 10, 2023 fuimos y pedimos un especial (sopa de pasta con arroz blanco y pernil) y una mini bandeja. El especial solo tenía gordo y solo me dijeron que se acabó el pernil, antes de servirlo. ¿Por qué dejaron que lo ordernara? o me preguntan primero si quiero substituirlo, pues no, nos miran feos y nos hablaron mal. All llegar la mini bandeja mi amigo me da su pedazo de carne asada para combinarlo con el arroz y noto que sabe rara y olía ya expirado. No digo nada para no sonar imprudente y aun así mi amigo me lo comenta, decidimos también comentarlo y sale la gerente de altanera diciendo que cuatro personas de la cocina intentaron la carne y no les supo mal. Lo mas que me molestó fue la manager o dueña por su xenofobia incorrecta cuando dice que nosotros al ser "DOMINICANOS" no conocemos el sazón colombiano cuando somos colombianos. De que verdad que ni intentaron solucionar y nada. Al contrario se molestaron con nosotros solo por criticar algo q sabemos no se puede comer. Mas que el incidente con la comida que puede pasar en cualquier restaurante, es el servicio mas que todo, pésimo, groseras y mirando feo. / Worst service, I order the special and mini bandeja and made some comments on the food (special had no pork at all only the skin and grease and the steak on the mini bandeja was smelling funny and tasted bad). the worst of all was the manager or owner who came to us in a bad attitude explaining that 4 people at the kitchen tried the meat and making us seem that we were wrong. No resolutions or reassuring we had a different options but pointed us as dominicans since we don't know the colombian seasoning, for her bad luck we are colombians. Xenophobic, zero customer service skills and ended up escalating the situation to the point that I'm doing this right now. The incident with the food can happen anywhere but the service itself, come on... read more

Moved to this area in November, so far so good, no complaints here, I usually just come for morning coffee and pastries/empanadas.

great coffee, great food, great people! love the pan de bono, the cafe colombiano, and the BEC

The locale definitely molded to fit in with the new demographic of people present and the increasing gentrification of the area. Therefore, the food does not taste like authentic Colombian food; it's very bland and stale. I'm giving it 3 stars instead of a lower rating because the customer service was great. read more

Don't be tricked by it's look. The bakery is very nice looking but the ladies who work there are very rude. Also the the lattes are horrible. Either she made it tasteless or their coffee is old.

My Daughter (mind you, she's 4 had a tantrum and spilled the coffee by accident) An employee headed over to help me, I was embarrassed and angry with my daughter but she's a kid, she's my kid. I apologized with the employee and she said with a frown on her face " it,s fine no worries " because of course no one likes to clean up someone else's mess but as a formal employee myself at a restaurant I do not mind to help out people 1) because its my job that I get payed for and 2) it's a mother with a toddler . That's what the employee was about to do, HELP ME. But then a lady around her the age of 65 scolded me, and shouted across the counter at the employee " LET THE MOM CLEAN IT !!" The employee left and the lady behind the counter handed over some paper, she didn't hand over the mop that the employee already had next to me she handed over paper and there I was ashamed of what I and my daughter spilled on the floor then I came to my 5 senses that wait, where is the respect? I have apologized, and here I am grabbing paper from this disrespectful lady after I am the costumer , I have given my money to them expecting a wonder experience at this restaurant. So I proceeded to talk to a manager and she said I AM THE OWNER " still screaming. I have had enough, especially after you see me with my 4 year old toddler, I then lost it and proceeded on telling her where were her manners? That it was her job to make sure employees help out in whatever they can:I told her I had no problem with cleaning , although it is essential for employees to help out especially in places with 5 stars, this is a -0 place , I got screamed at, rude people. read more
