Best cheesecake I have had in Chile! (It really deserves 5 exclamation points, but I don't want to…read morebe that girl...) They offer two different flavors of cheesecake one with fudge-like chocolate and the other with a berry topping. What makes this cheesecake really stand out from the others is the rich, creamy, filling (only attained by those who use quality ingredients and the right amount of cream cheese). Although I could go on forever about their cheesecake, they also offer both sweet and savory options. The owner and the other bakers use all natural and as many fresh ingredients as possible. The idea is to use the least amount of preservatives as possible. Pasteleria Sinfonia del Sabor boasts rich flavors, fresh ingredients and a unique style. They make all of their pastries and breads in house. Their store, although small, is filled top-to-bottom with different all natural delicacies that won't break the bank. The prices range from 1.450 for a slice of cake to 2.500 for a loaf of bread. I also recommend their carrot cake. It was moist, with spices and fresh carrot slices and manjar - perfect to accompany it with a hot cup of tea. The only down side is that the store, because of how small it is, is made more to pick up treats to-go than to enjoy them there. They only have one table with 2 chairs if you are lucky enough to find them unoccupied. Tip: They offer gluten-free options upon request. Most of their pastries has a vegan option, that is just as delicious (they either use vegetable oil, apple sauce or other natural ingredients to make up for the lack of buttermilk, eggs or milk) They also offer made to order pies, cakes among other things. I know where I will be getting my birthday cake next year!

A block away from the Bellas Artes metro is the somewhat hidden street of Mosqueto. Mosqueto is…read morelined with hip cafes, including Melinka. Melinka is not your ordinary cafe, it doubles as bakery where, in the same location, they bake their delicious pastries. The walls of the cozy cafe are filled with their fresh cakes, pies and cookies. The owner, a very nice older man, has owned the bakery/cafe for years and really knows his stuff. He spends most of his day working the cash register or helping take orders in the Mosqueto location (there are two more - one on Catedral and the other on San Martin). If you have a sweet tooth I definitely recommend coming and trying one of their many delicious cakes. I recommend the 'ricota de arandano' (blueberry ricotta cake) or their bizcocho de lucuma (lucuma cake). If it is sunny out I recommend sitting out with a nice book to read and a coffee as the cafe is located on a small street with little traffic.

My go to order is the set of tomato, basil and hummus bruschetta-it is the most tasty combo ever. I also recommend the earl grey latte and assorted teas. The ambience is nonchalant and has a friendly-hipster vibe. It is full of amazing art work and the customer service is exceptional. In addition to a relaxed vibe, they have indoor and outdoor seating and have good working WiFi. I highly recommend this coffee shop and without a doubt come here again for the delicious bruschetta. Este cafécito es una joya en la pared! Tiene el mejor café y ofrece snacks saludables. Sirven almuerzo y desayuno, pero también tiene una variedad de repostería. Mi orden que normalmente pido es el set de pan bruschetta con tomate, perejil y hummus- es el combo más sabroso que he probado! También recomiendo el latte de bergamota y la variedad de tés que ofrecen. El ambiente es súper relajado y tiene una onda muy amigable y hipster. Este lugar tiene muy buen decor y arte que lo destacan al igual que el excepcional servicio. También tienen una área en el patio para tomar cafecito y WiFi buenísimo. ¡Yo recomiendo este café y sin duda alguna regresaré por esas riquísimas bruschettas!

My absolute favorite is the chirimoya naranja and my husband raved over the chocolate avellano (it's like Nutella ice cream.)
