La Calenita Bakery Cafe

Food is always great here. Either breakfast or Empanadas and green sauce with it is always consistent. Great and fast service always. Coffee is terrific here as well. Calm ambiance to stay and eat after Church on Sunday early afternoons.

i was waiting for my food like 40 minutes they give me the food to cold , the empanadas don't look fresh I never go back to that place.

I used to love it there , but I ordered an orange juice and it came with a fly in it .. I'm so grossed out ! They need to be more careful and more clean

I love this place!! We understand each other using the universal language of pointing! Lol I point, they pack it up. How much? Once again that we point at numbers lol. They're super courteous and always smiling. Not once have I had a bad experience in this place. I've been here about 8 times in two years. Things haven't changed and if they did, it's for the good or barely noticeable.

Came from another town to give my family some Colombian food and I asked for 4 chicken empanadas and 4 beef empanadas. They only gave me my 4 empanadas, which could've been a mistake (2nd time). When we called Maria Isabel answered and her response was "Thank God we sell alot" to make it seem like she didnt care of reviews. If you not going to care about 1 customer, your not caring about many. Now I believe they are thieves, and they do it on purpose of they're not caring about their customers. I would recommend going to all the other places in 5th street, they lost a customer going there for so many years. It would'nt have been a problem until we called to clear it up, and they treated us like CRAP.

First this gentleman fabian G. forgot the empanadas I was that day and it is very ridiculous and disrespectful to lie in public. The place is very nice and clean.Fresh food.

My best friend is Colombian and her family travels from Maryland to come here and load up on Colombian delicacies! I have been lucky enough to come here several times with them, and am so grateful that pandebono has been introduced into my life!When we went this weekend I got several almojabanas (Colombian cheese breads) to bring home. They're very similar to pandebono, but they're just round (not donut shaped). I was willing to wait for pandebono to come out fresh, but evidently once they're sold out then that's it. Kind of a bummer. I also tried a cake (I think it translated literally to 'black cake') that is made with (lots of) wine, raisins and nuts. My friend also found blood sausage to bring back home to her family.It is a little bit intimidating if you're not a Spanish speaker. There was some minimal English used during our transaction, but the default is Spanish and it could be very awkward without someone there to translate for me. I don't think of that as a negative, though - I actually appreciate the authenticity of the establishment, and the fact that the Colombian community has a place like this to enjoy the tastes of home. Also parking can be a little bit of an issue. With some patience you can usually find street parking but it is a VERY busy, bustling area.

Best Colombian bakery in town. It's away from the city but easy to get to.The staff is super friendly whether you speak Spanish or not.Try the arepa con queso, almojabanas, pan de bono, burñuelos and their empanadas.

If you have a massive hang over and want some fried greasy Colombian breakfast food. This is the place to go. I've never had Colombian food until my Colombian friend brought me here.This is a nice bakery with plenty of room for folks to sit with their laptop and coffee, munch on some pastries; or come after church on a Sunday, sit with family and relax. They have a flat screen TV that constantly plays Colombian music videos/ concerts which adds a nice ring to it. They serve a wide variety of food (most I'm not sure what they are called) - Beef or Chicken mini empanadas, cheesy corn bread, chesse bagel, eggs, big greasy chorizo (pork sausage), fried yuca (root), pork fat and skin.All in all I like their chesse bagel and eggs the best. Their coffee is sweet and according to my friend they serve really good hot chocolate as well.The nice thing is that they accept credit cards, all their servers call you "mi amor" I guess that's the friendly way from Colombians for you! Easy to find street parking right around the bakery.

Classic Colombian and Latino pastries, great prices, quality and services. Exactly what aLatino would expect.
