Me and my coworker wanted to grab something sweet for lunch and decided to check this place out. The staff here are really nice. They have a lot of pastries and menu items. We got the Quesito and the Guava Pastry. These were a bit dry. Not very sweet either. Not like the ones I'm used to. Maybe we need to come in the morning to get fresh ones. I don't know if I would return here. read more

I've visited this establishment multiple times and it is great food every time. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, even the coffee are all delicious. I struggle with the translation and still get great food with pointing at the menu and Google translate. The customer service is great. They are patient and friendly. This place is authentic and offers a delectable choice of food for a great price. If you come on a weekend it may be crowded but the crowd filters at a good pace. read more

A hidden Gem!!! Moved to the area and was looking for breakfast around noon. Decided to try it on a whim. Amazing!!! They were busy but that did not stop thengirl on the counter from making sure i got a table as soon as it opened and cleaned it for me. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it basically came with two sandwiches!! All under $10! It was delicious. Fresh bread. The whole place smells amazing. They have frituras...which looked really good. Will try them next time. Very limited seating so make sure you are ok with waiting a little if you want to seat but most take it to go. You can also order ahead for pick up. There's plenty of parking since it's in a plaza. Absolutely give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

La Abundancia Bakery - Breakfast sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Ordered two breakfast ham and cheese sandwiches... the worst two sandwiches I ever seen in my life. Ham on one side of the sandwich and cheese on the other rather being stacked on top of each other like a normal sandwich. One slice of poor quality school lunch deli meat mostly hard. Mostly bread was given to me and the natural juice isn't natural nor is it tasty. Waste of money waste of time and on top of that made me lady cry how bad the food was. There is nothing good about this place worst Spanish spot I ever been too my entire life. read more

This place is the closes thing to a home cooked meal from my country. the food is delicious, portions are big, and the prize is reasonable. Great customer service, and the Tamales Vallunos are spectacular for a Sunday brunch with the family. read more

We got the bunuelos, fried plantains with beef and the weekend special which included the soup with chicken and noodles, chicken, rice and beet salad. We really enjoyed the food and it was plenty. The price was good but the wait time was longer than we had hoped. read more

They tend badly and when the two women want. I arrived and they didn't listen to me - you were talking about an internal problem. I don't go back. Although it remains about my house I prefer to go to the Colombian cafeteria. Besides, I didn't tip and they looked at me badly. read more

As a Colombian food LOVER, this bakery is a hidden gem! I grew up in South Florida, where there was Colombian food at every corner. It's been hard to find that same energy here in Orlando, but La Abundancia has been able to sooth that crazy itch I needed scratched. The space is located in a random, smaller shopping center. Sometimes parking can be an issue during the lunch hours, but i've never ~not~ been able to find a spot. It's just a tighter lot so it requires some maneuvering. The parking lot is a foreshadow to the actual restaurant, since the restaurant itself is quite small. During the lunch rush, its not rare to see a lot of people eating/ordering/standing in line within the small space. Because of this, i'll usually call my order in ahead of time to avoid all the bodies in that smaller area. The bakery here is divine & the empanadas are delicious. All of them! I usually variate between the chicken & meat. I also NEVER forget to ask for my aji, since they make it so dang good. During my lunch breaks, I often call them for their daily special since it really has an amazing bang for your buck. My favorite special they carry is their Lentil soup. I will always pair it with a side of rice & avocado. UGH tastes like home! read more

I've been eating from here for the past 5 years and have always loved it, until 3 days ago when I ordered my usual (breaded chicken) and found two hairs in it. I wasn't so happy have had this happen with moms hair but at a restaurant I would hope hair nets are being used. Aside from that experience I have never had an issue. read more

This place is spectacular, and a lovely showcase of Colombian hospitality. It isn't fancy, but it is delicious and authentic paisa food. We love the atmosphere and the pricing is also very reasonable. Bring your appetite or plan to bring food home with you. read more

So this is a tiny little place in a non descript strip mall. It would be so easy to pass by, but do your taste buds a favor and stay. Because this place is nothing about the atmosphere and 100 percent about the food! When you find an ethnic restaurant filled with people from that culture, you know you are on to something. In this case, it is Colombian. All of the food is delicious, from the amazing rich, coffee served in a styrofoam cup to a wide variety of arepas, empanadas and pastries. And who doesn't love yucca with breakfast?? Well, anyway, I do! The prices are so reasonable, I could eat here daily, except for concern about my waistline! read more

There's nothing like some good Colombian treats and this place really hits the mark. I was in the mood for some empanadas and sausage for breakfast.. I was not disappointed! Glad to have this bakery close to home. read more

This is the exact type of restaurant that I love. Hard to find online, family owned and operated, and DELICIOUS. All the prices for this little Columbian gem are better than any of the local competitors, but offer better portions and flavors. I recommend the daily lunch special for anyone on their first visit. You get a little of everything for 8.95$ it comes with your choice of Soup, Meat, and 3 sides. read more

Quick stop to get small snack while shopping. It's a very small place and they seemed to be really busy with take outs. It's smelled wonderful inside like fresh baked bread. I order a stuffed potato and a meat empanada. But we're incredibly greasy. Very bland for both and the empanada was chicken not beef. I was the only person at the counter and it took a bit to get the attention of the 3 ladies at the counter talking. No sauces were offered or displayed. I hope the other menu items are better. There is minimal seating. A few inside tables and two outside. I chose to sit in my car cause most of the tables were not clean but empty. It's 12:45 ... anyways I would try another menu item and skip the empanadas and the stuffed potato. I have it two stars because it's cheap it was about $7 for the two items and a bottle of water. I would not make a special trip but if I'm the area I would try another menu item. read more

Wonderful place, super friendly staff, great breakfast, and house-made pastries. It will be a weekly stop for me. BTW, the some of the one-star reviews are just unfair: if someone writes "wonderful food" no matter what else they are complaining about it is not one star. read more

This restaurant was quaint and cozy!!! The feel was family oriented and the food was amazing. I had the Seafood Stew and my daughter had the Chicken Soup and Tomal and we both loved our dishes. For dessert we had flan and tres leches and they were both DELISH! I recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Non Chain influenced food! read more

Have been coming here a lot lately since I've been feeling a bit homesick ... everything I've tried tastes like my grandma cooked it. Some highlights are the soups, empanadas and the pandebonos. The only downside is that this place is small and there a usually a lot of people eating inside maskless and very close together to other diners. There is also outdoor seating and they do to go as well. read more

Such great food, friendly service and great prices ! I felt like I was eating at my grandmas house. Soo delicious you definitely have to try it! read more

This was her second visit to LA Abundances bakery. We have been there for both breakfast and lunch. Each visit we were extremely impressed with the food and the service. For lunch we had the whole fried fish and it was spot-on. For breakfast we had the Huevos con Chorizo and Desayuno Montanero. Both the breakfast and lunch were very good and portion size was perfect and very reasonably priced. We also had some type of role that was soft and buttery inside and it was delicious I wish I remember the name but we will definitely have it when we return again. The buns are perfect to snack on while you're waiting for your food to be delivered. We also had a large hot chocolate drink that was very tasty and from our vantage point where we were sitting we could see the staff preparing freshly ground coffee that also looked very tasty. There was always a steady stream of customers coming in to pick up food and take home as well as patrons dinning in. With such a plethora of restaurants in the area it's unusual for us to return to someplace so soon, but we are already planning on returning to try other menu items. read more

Okayーto start off this review on a good foot, let's talk how you might come here for pastries of all sorts, or an extravagant lunch. If you visit this restaurant, you might notice that speaking Spanish truly comes in handy, but is not required (as there is usually an English-speaking young man working). All intros aside, let's get to the food's taste/quality. Featuring a wide-range of different things to choose from as far as pastries, you won't go wrong with your pick. The prices/worth of specifically the items on the lunch menu are outstanding--boasting two-course meals that are just perfect. I've eaten steak and chicken lunches here, and never left with any regrets. Not-to-mention the bakery also makes bread. I have yet to try such, but am certainly looking forward to doing so! Yum! ~Hope you visit this gem... read more

Only had the empanadas in the morning and they were ok. Given more time I would love to try the breakfast menu since they seem to make it to order. If you're a coffee lover you can get some of the strong stuff here as well. #l'enjoy read more

First and foremost, this place is not just a bakery. Yes, their baked goods are amazing, but they have lots more. A number of years ago when I first started dating my girlfriend, I had never had Colombian food before. On one of her first times visiting me at home she spotted La Abundancia Bakery, not even a mile from where I live. For some silly reason she wanted me to experience some of her culture and suggested we check them out. We went together and she picked a few of her favorite Colombian items for us to try. I loved them all. Now, unfortunately I can never remember the name of anything other than empanadas, arepas, and chicharrón, which is a funny looking strip of fried pork rinds. You'll get chewy, fatty bits and crunchy, meaty bits. Different textures, but all delicious. It's very easy to eat an entire chicharrón but it's so oily that I would suggest saving half and getting a bread item with it. If you're a fan of blood sausage, theirs is apparently pretty good. I however, am not a fan. Perhaps I will try it again someday, but on my first tasting it just wasn't for me. Some of their other sausages though I was quite fond of. Now, remember how I mentioned I didn't really know the names of anything? The people there are extremely friendly and extremely helpful. Sometimes I just point and ask what's in a particular item and other times I will ask which is the one with ---fill in the blank---. They always humor me and help out. From large, hallowed out loaves of bread with cheese in the center to small loaves stuffed with ham and cheese, there's a great selection of baked goods. One of the breads even has cheese mixed into the dough itself, so while you'll never find any cheese, the taste is there, unmistakable. Yummmmm. What's messed up is that I've only done pickup and have never eaten on-site. I hope to rectify this sometime, because along with everything I mentioned, they have a full sit down menu. Why we've been to other Colombian restaurants for sit down meals and not this place is beyond me. Maybe it's a case of being a little too conveniently close. Some day I'll pretend I live across town and go have a real meal there. Until then, the meats and breads are awesome placeholders. NOTE: Currently the address shows Orlando and 32807 as the zip. While the address is correct, those bits are wrong. It's in Winter Park, 32792. Find them near the intersection of 436 and Howell Branch, next to the BP gas station. I've submitted a change to Yelp and will remove this note once that's updated. read more

Horrible customer service.... I asked for water and they didn't have Ice I Asked for a chicken breast with salad without rice, and she got me a chicken breast with tons of rice. She was very distracted the whole time of my visit and constant in the phone. Good store very clean, horrible service! read more

Great Value. The breakfast ($3.50) and lunch ($7) specials make this place a great spot for economical eats. The lunch special includes a large bowl of the soup of the day followed by an enormous plate of Colombian style beef, chicken or pork accompanied by tasty lentils or salad, steamed rice and some of the best maduros around. Wash down this feast with one of their many domestic or Latin American sodas and don't forget to grab a fresh loaf of bread or pastry for the road. Lunch Specials Mon-Fri read more

Cute place. Maybe for breads and desserts. I ordered empanadas, papa rellena de pollo... both were "acceptable" however for a Colombian place the arepas were lacking flavor and color. Disappointed. Won't be returning. read more

The best almojábanas outside of Colombia - a must have. I have had so many things from their menu, and honestly can't think of one that I didn't enjoy. Their empanadas are fantastic, and be sure to ask for their ají (it's like their homemade hot sauce) - amazing, and not too spicy. I'm never disappointed here. read more

Mom and pop's Colombian restaurant. Great "bocadidos" aka finger foods menu. Also menu offers very good variety authentic dishes.

I ordered "grilled" chicken with rice and beans and maduros takeout. They forgot the rice. The chicken was not grilled and was the blandest thing I have ever tasted next to the beans. The beans had no flavor whatsoever. The only thing that was fine was the maduros or sweet plantains. But you can't really mess that up. I won't be coming here again anytime soon. read more

The food is good, good variety and great taste on everything. However I completely stopped visiting this place after several times of trying, the staff is so rude, I never felt welcomed nor was I acknowledged walking in. I will never go back to this place, they lack customer service skills, waitresses are not nice. read more

I used to come here at 1-2x/week... A great mom and pop shop. Not sure what happened but the food quality has gone down significantly. The last few times I was there, I was served grilled chicken breast that was still raw on the inside and another time had a lunch meal that was so salty. The owner used to be the cook, and it was great. Maybe he sold the business. read more

The soup special is cheap and wonderful it comes with salad and avocado, plantains as good as Grandma used to make and rice. They have several steak meals at or around ten dollars, and giant fried potato balls. They make their own hot sauce, and have Columbian sodas. It's become one of my favorite new restaurants that I've tried, and I've been eating there all the time. read more

I have to update my review of this restaurant based on the complete 180 it has taken since the original owners have sold the location.
