Stopped in at La Espiguita Bakery in Brentwood for a quick grab-and-go. You can also eat there if you want. However, the seating area is limited, with high tables and stools. Overall, a solid choice when you want something quick and tasty. The service is quick and accommodating. Try the Mangonado. read more

A little mishap at first with a order I placed but the staff was really friendly and held themselves accountable for the issue. Baked goods are delicious, the prices are phenomenal and the quality is superb. I could not recommend this place more. They also have hot food that looked delicious and fresh. Thier pastries are sinful . This will definitely be my go to from now on. read more

Great service. Ernesto is polite and efficient. Food is delicious. I enjoy the arepas de queso the most.

Tres leches cake here is dry and should not even be called that. The staff is also incredibly rude. The food is middddd & overpriced. No where near as good as the other options within a 5 min drive. Go somewhere else for Colombian baked goods and food. read more

Mal servicio y cero interés por sus principales clientes, la comunidad Latina cuando se dicen ser migrantes.

Me encanta la comida aquí. Yo recomiendo el pan pitufo y las arepas de choclo con queso. Amo la comida colombiana. Cada vez que llego aquí un muchacho Ernesto me ayuda, el es bueno. read more

I bought a mixed bag of baked goods and they were great. Loved the empanadas in particular, both the cheese guava and the chicken. The tres leches here is not the wet type but like a cake slice, nevertheless was mild and good. I am very impressed by the wide variety and the price. Definitely one of the best bakeries in the area. read more

I received a piece of tiramisu cake as a gift so not was delivered to my door.

I would recommend this bakery, can't wait to try other offerings! read more

Me & my friends wanted to get empanadas, so we called in advance to see if they had them ready. The girl on the phone was very dismissive about the empanadas & when we went to the place to get the empanadas we were treated very poorly by the same girl. read more

My sister moved to Suffolk recently and she was sad that she wouldnt find a bakery that had all her colombian treats. Well I found a great one!!! La Espiguita is wonderful! Everything I purchased was delicious! My sister was thrilled. The Salpicon (fruit salad...but better) tasted just as she remembered from our visits to Colombia. The mini almohabanas ( cheesy doughy bread) was my niece's favorite. The empanadas were delicious and hefty, both the chicken and beef. The cheese stuffed bread was warm and also a good size. We will definately be regulars there! read more

The lady who help us was lazy and aggravated because we asked for Splenda and half and half for our coffee. I also ordered a Chorizo w potato and I'm very disappointed with the chorizo because it tasted old and I hope I do not get sick. I hardly come here but when I do it's to cure my. Colombian craving and I am complete disappointed on the freshness and the service. I will not come back here again. read more

Very good Columbian bakery. All sorts of assorted baked goods & cooked food. They have fresh squeezed orange juice & homemade hot chocolate. I haven't tried to many things because I love the corn arepas with salchicon sausage. Sometimes I get cheese on the arepa. Good eats. 6-3-2017 read more

A nice Colombian bakery. They have all most popular breads, cookies and cakes. Not to mention the empanadas. They serve lunch. They also have natural juices. All in all it's a good place. It's also like small market of Colombian goodies. They sell crafts, even board games read more

Great food amazing coffee and goof pastries.service is ok but not the best.it feels a bit crowded at times but good overall.

I must say I've been coming here for years and the quality is top notch, the desserts are delicious and extremely reasonable in price. The breads are always baked fresh and when they have a batch already a few hours old they have them on special which you can't complain. Their colombian empanadas are very good as well! read more

CAKES ARE HORRIBLE. LAS TORTAS SON HORRIBLES ! I ordered a tres leches cake and specifically remarked to be extra wet with extra dulce de leche and no cream around it, all explained in spanish so they understood me better with no mistakes. To my surprise they charged me extra for all those extras but I said OK. But when I arrived home the cake was dry with almost no milk, full of that nasty cream all around it and with no dulce de leche. I usually buy my "tres leches" cakes there for years but I think this will be the last one. The cake was the worse cake I have ever had and I compared it to the cheap ones you find at supermarkets. Not sure if they changed the cake maker or if they don't pay attention to the customer order. I called to complain and for a refund but they said I should have returned the cake to the store, how in the world I will return a cake that it was for my daughter graduation guests ? so forget it, for that attitude of they keeping my $50 for an horrible cake, they lost a customer for life.

NEVER COMING BACK HERE! My friend went to go get us tres leches cake and damn that shit was nasty! Tasted like sour milk and seems as if they have been sitting out for awhile. The most depressing tres leches cake I've ever had the displeasure of tasting read more

Never made it to the store. However; I called to find out if the beans were vegetarian and they girl said NO! and hung up on me! If she were nice i would have gone to the bakery to see what i could eat but out of principle now i'm not. RUDE! read more

This bakery used to be amazing years ago. Decided to give it a shot since I haven't been here in a while, now I remember why I stopped coming here. The almojábanas were literally the size of a quarters and hard as rocks. The empanadas you could tell wasn't fresh either. Wasted money. Never coming back again, the people that eat there must have lost their taste to covid. read more

A place to get your fix of Latin American pastries, breads and dessert drinks, but watch those sugar counts. This is a palace of delicious and fattening carbohydrates. No health food here. It's usually crowded and fast moving along the counter because a lot of people know they've got the goods. There is a small sitting area for customers and they also sell Latin American crafts. Plenty of parking. read more

This is true heaven!! I'm a proud Colombian who has frequented this bakery for over 15 years. Great authentic Colombian food and pastries. It's like being back home highly recommend roscon de guayaba, empanadas , pan de queso y pan de bonos, etc. You can't go wrong . Enjoy delicacy Que delicia de postres y comida. read more

It's alriiiiight. I grew up in a heavy Colombian neighborhood in Queens so this is "good" for Long Island but I always hit up my usual spot when visiting my dad. Service is terrible. I was the only person in line and there were 5 ladies behind the counter. read more

Don't come here as often, but i lovee the strange looks I get from everyone once I go in! hahaha.. They sell more than just cakes and cookies. They sell breads and snack foods, as well as your typical arroz con pollo.. read more

Authentic food and friendly staff. Very clean and has enough variety to please any pallet. Love the fruit juices and the empanadas! Ask for help if you're not sure what to order like I wasn't, but the staff was happy to make recommendations. Great family place! read more

If you like a good empanada, then oddly enough this is a place you NEED to go visit. Seriously, these are hands down the best empanadas Ive had on long island. And they are columbian style, so none of that flake pastry crap. These are made with that corn meal style dough (masa I believe). Filled with potato and pork. Served with some very tastey homemade sauce (be sure to ask for some, its free). If you're feeling adventurous then Id suggest trying some of their other hot-homemade creations. Unfortunately I do not speak spanish so I do not know the names of these other items. But one in particular looks like a yellow softball. Its insides are filled with similar filling to a chicken pot pie. Its very very good! They also make these other lighter colored items that look like an over sized empanada. They have a few different meats and some egg inside. Also very delicious. The best part about this place, you can go in with about $6 and eat a massive meal. Empandas cost just under $1 per and the other items I mentioned were around $1-2. read more

La Espiguita started out as a great bakery. I use to say there was little difference between their product and the bakeries in Colombia, but that's no longer the case. Little by little the empanadas shrank followed by the breva bread. I use to find quite a few brevas in the bread and now it became a treasure hunt. The chorizos are 1/4 big pieces of fat and the list goes on. I realize food prices have increased, but readies the prices and stop altering the food. My 20 minute trip to La Espiguita has recently ended. It's not worth my time and money. Sorry guys. read more

I am a member of a community Spanish class and we visited this bakery as a field trip. First, the manager was really great as he worked with our instructor ahead of time to realize that a group of students with beginner Spanish skills would be coming in. The place was packed the whole time, never stopped as people came in to get both their savory and sweet goods. At first, I tried the empanadas. They were pretty tasty. I only had two and they're really small so eventually I went back to the counter to find something else to eat since this was my dinner. I have no idea what it was called but it was a plantain, sliced down the middle with a strip of cheese and guava sauce. It was interesting. It was good...but still to this day I'm on the fence about it. I would love to go back but I feel like I would have to go back with someone who speaks Spanish to fully know what's what. read more

Whenever I visit the Island - a pitstop is required! You cannot beat these Colombian empanadas. Potatos, shredded beef, yummy spices... oh, boy! There's always a wait for them, since it is probably their top seller. Be patient... worth the wait. read more

Love this bakery, it's always busy . Has great Columbian pastries. Some of the staff are not friendly which is the only downside.

Upon arrival the store was presentable outside and in. The inside has food, desserts, toys, and even cookware throughout the store. The food was just a tid bit on the higher priced side however, it was good. I went with the intention of purchasing Cholado which is a Colombian drink mixture of ice, flavored syrup, and fruits. The drink was good however it needed more flavoring. I would recommend this store for anyone wanting to get taate of something different. Especially considering that this store is in a predominantly Salvadorian neighborhood you get to taste other products from other latin countries. So go for it and try it. read more

I came here to pick up a cake and some treats to have with coffee. I love Colombian bakeries and ordered pan de bono. Delicious! There are two reasons I could not give more stars - bad customer service and the store was very unorganized. The employees were rude and inattentive and the bakery treats were untidy. Great food but hesitant about returning. read more

don't waste your money. they have bad service. their attention is lousy and rude and apart from all the food and desserts are always old. Es una pérdida de dinero. Tienen mal servicio. la atención es terrible y grosera. Aparte de todo esto, la comida y postres siempre están viejos. read more

This is my go to spot for empanadas and passion fruit juice (jugo de maracuya)- sooooo yummy

I don't have enough good things to say about this place. I will never buy supermarket bread ever again. For only $2.50 you can get high quality loaves that could last 3-4 days for 1 person. My personal favorite is the cheese bread (Pan de Queso) for $2.75. If you want lunch or dinner there they serve fresh hot food every day. For $2.19 they give you a little plate filled with various slices of chorizo, pork, and two dark plantains. The empanadas are good but too small for me to be $1.19 each. I'm a regular customer at La Espiguita and I can tell you that whether it's 1 PM or 8 PM the place is always busy. You can even see them restocking finished rolls and empanadas right in front of you. This is a hidden gem of a bakery and I highly recommend it. read more
