This review is for both dining in and getting the too good to go bag. Obviously this Colombian bakery is a little bit pricer since this location is on Steinway street right when you get off the train. We fortunately got 3 pandebono breads in our too good to go bag and a croissant last week. They were so fresh even though we got there at almost 730PM. The service was okay ... the girl seemed like she had a little attitude and rushed us but it is what it is. Would I come back here? Maybe but definitely a good spot for getting stuff to go when you're getting on/off the train. read more

The food here was delicious and made fresh. The people were so nice and understanding. The owner's son Santiago was a huge help to me. He recommended certain foods that he said I would like, and all of his recommendations were spot on. Their baked goods was fresh and delicious. And when I come back to New York in am definitely coming back to this awesome restaurant and I will bring friends Again a special thank you to Santiago for the recommendations and the company while I waited. read more

Kind service and solid food! Stopped by to grab a snack, and I got a chicken empanada and pan de bono. Both were fresh and delicious. I especially liked the hot sauce that came with the empanada. There's also plenty of seating inside. read more

No nos gusto la Atención en la panadería. Nos tocó llevar nuestra orden a la mesa. Las dos cajeras no nos atendieron pero atendíeron a las otras mesas. La morena nos colocó la cola en la cara y tuvimos que cambiarnos de mesa y volvió a hacer la misma cosa. Que mal ejemplo y que tristeza de compatriotas . read more

They are so fresh and flakey . I also like the decor everything is vibrant and they have meals to Colombian packages sweets Deff a place I will stop by when in the neighborhood read more

Ordered the beef arepa which said in huge numbers $9.75. Got the check and they charged me $14 instead. I asked why does it say $9.75 on the menu and I'm being charged $14? The lady refused to speak to me about it and instead spoke spanish to my friend who then explained that they ran out of a certain arepa wrap and that they one they gave me was more expensive at $14. Is it my fault that they ran out of the usual wrap and now I have to pay extra for it? Why couldn't they have told me when I ordered that it would be extra because they ran out of an ingredient? Instead they didn't tell me anything, allowed me to believe the arepa was $9.75 which was written in HUGE numbers in the menu, then charged me more than $5 more. Then they refused to explain to me in english (I don't speak much spanish). They then refused to take off the extra charge AND charged us a 18% gratuity fee. They are out here scamming customers, writing a certain price then charging more and charging auto grat. My friend ordered their lunch special and barely ate any of it cause he said it was SO BAD. The food sucks, the service sucks, and they scam you and charge extra and refuse to charge you what the menu says. This has to be illegal in some way. Needless to say I will never be coming back. My friend will never be coming back. They will go out of business for scamming customers, charging auto gratuity, and providing horrible disgusting food and nasty nasty service and pretty much being a scamming restaurant. Do not eat here unless you want nasty service, disgusting food, and dishonest scammers. read more

Smallest piece of meat, nasty soup and rotten potatoes. Not worth the valué of $35. Won't be going back.

Its hard to compete with Mama's Empanadas right across the street, but this place offers a nice variety of Colombian snacks and food. Its set up like a counter service bakery but i did see folks being served at their tables as well. The staff was really sweet, bilingual and accommodating, its really cute inside and super clean as well! I just ordered a large iced coffee and a chicken empanada to go. The coffee was strong and creamy with added milk, just perfect. The empanada was good, well seasoned shredded chicken and picante sauce that was actually spicy. I wasn't expecting it to have a flaky crust, instead thinking it would be like the traditional corn empanadas I am accustomed to, & love. It was however very good. In total, i spent less than $7 on a decently filling snack. Totally worth checking out read more

New Colombian Bakery recently opened this week. I'm loving its proximity to the Steinway Street subway station. I find it so convenient that I'm able to grab breakfast and lunch here on my way to work in the mornings. The staff are super nice. I was asking a lot of questions on my first visit there about the various pastries they had and when they couldn't explain in English, they smartly got out their phone and google translated the answers for me! The bakery feels very spacious for the small space; the front and along the counter there are plenty of seating. They offer traditional Colombian bread, pastries, cakes and food. I've had their beef and chicken empanadas, chorizos, patatas and breads. The empanadas were delicious. The crust was nice and flaky but soft at the same time. The beef and chicken fillings were a tad dry but when you add the sauce; it's pretty great. The chorizos come with one baked potato per order. The chorizo is more on the savory side and not at all spicy. I must point out that they currently don't have a menu posted anywhere in the store or online. And the items in the display cases do not have a label, that I saw. So, it was a guessing game on how much my purchase would cost until I got to the counter. Not a huge deal but worth noting. Otherwise, I think this bakery is nice addition to this neighborhood and worth supporting. read more

Que Rico Bakery And Restaurant - Charge tips for bread to go , automatically.. without my authorization. - Cafes Near Me - Astoria, New York

Not good. Charges you the same if you're paying cash or card. They only give you one sauce even if you get three empanadas.

I went to the new Colombian bakery, Que Rico 32-14 Steinway St on Friday which was once a Korean cafe and then an American coffee house for a short time. Like Piceros II the pastries, coffees baked breads were excellent. I paid approx $6.00 for a small coffee and chocolate layer cake. Everything is delish. I ordered and than sat at a table. The only downside to this bakery is that they have cut down on the number of large tables and seats, which once used to be teaming with patrons pouring over computers and coffee cups. All the communal seating has been removed at the rear, and the bakery is designed more like a pizzeria. The back of the cafe/bakery is a kitchen. There is a nice ambiance full of Colombian Culture with wall all including their futbul heroes. read more

Venden pan viejo, y bien caro. Antes de comer pruébelo y déjele saber al personal. Un gran error por parte del dueño.

Big portions for their entrees at a good price and they have yummy breads in the bakery! The place itself was cute as well.

la que se hace llamar dueña es una incompetente que solo sabe gritar a los empleados . acabo de presenciar el peor acto hacia un cliente y un empleado. espere más de 30 mts para pagar una orden que tenía en mis manos, la trabajadora trató de ayudarme y la "dueña" le gritó cómo si fuera la hija gritándole de una manera que no tiene perdón . me siento mal por las personas que trabajan en ese sitio con tan mal autoridad, desorden y maltrato . read more

We stopped in for a simple order: two iced coffees, breakfast sandwiches, and an empanada. The woman behind the counter assumed we wanted milk and sugar in the coffee (just ask before making, we didn't indicate we wanted the add-ins) and had to remake. Even worse, the egg and cheese I ordered had no egg. It was ham and cheese. I asked specifically for no pork as I do not eat pork. I'm not sure how you mess up so bad. To try and remediate my bad mood (hanger started setting in), my boyfriend gave me his chicken empanada. Surprise - she gave us one with sausage in it! I'm in disbelief someone could mess up every aspect of such a standard order. My boyfriend tipped her well for the nuisance of having to remake our coffees, which is the only thing I could enjoy from our whole order. Please don't go here if you have any dietary restrictions as it will not be respected! She repeated the order back and still carelessly gave us the wrong items. read more

This is a zero star review, I was so disappointed with the food and service. Very poor customer service at this place. We ordered from bakery some bread cheese, corn cakes all was not fresh but stale and flavorless, we also order egg Benedict ham and spinach breakfast, it also was not fresh. We would not recommend this place to anyone. Beware. read more

I came in here before for the bakery portion and decided to give the restaurant portion a try. Not impressed, food wasn't that great. What bothered me the most was the receipt. The menus don't reflect new prices, they charged their own gratuity, charge for using card. What should have been a $55 meal more or less ended up being $72. On the menu grilled chicken is $15.50 and actual charged price was $18.75. So watch out. read more

More like Que Regular. This bakery is way overpriced and the food is bland. The juices taste like water and not sure if pastries are fresh unfortunately. read more

Tried their empanadas. A good alternative to Mama's Empanadas and much cheaper for Colombian-style empanadas. Got 3 for 6.25 as opposed to the 10$ for Mama's for the same quantity. Excited to try more of their pastries! read more
