Yummy cafe con leche, pastries and empanadas. This is one of my favorite local spots.

Although I have gave 5 stars In the past. Now I only give 3 because there is a change in the service and quality.
In terms of service, I can say there is always a nice young woman who is always helpful and patient with your order, but sometimes another woman comes to the front (always on a hurry) and makes you feel she has better things to do than taking your order and she gives you all the wrong items.
In terms of quality, more than 3 times I have experienced trying the small pastries or empanadas and they taste like they where on the refrigerator. Mixed flavors and not fresh. That is not ok. -

I come here often for Uruguayan empanadas and coffee. Not as good as Colombian empanadas but it hits the spot.
It's a small place but there's plenty of people getting items to-go.
There are seating to catch some futbol on the tele.
Cc accepted. I don't think there is a restroom for the public. Plenty of free street parking. -

Oh, dulce de leche. I feel like I am supposed to love you. With your sweet, rich, caramelly self. And yet, invariably, I wind up disappointed. But I keep trying. Thus, whenever I spot a pastry or cake that features you, I can't seem to resist. So it was here:
Anyway, got a mini jelly-roll type cake, and a breakfast pastry of some kind; both filled with yeah... you guessed it... dulce de leche. And they were... I don't know... cloying and one-dimensional. Buttery caramel done right, which to me means it has a slight bitter edge and smokiness, plus a hit of salt, is just more my thing. Dulce de leche, which to my understanding is typically made by slow-cooking condensed milk, is heavier, more milky, and alas, overwhelmingly sweet, imo.
Luckily, also got several Empanadas and a package of Palmiers, aka Elephant Ear Cookies. The latter; airy, crunchy and caramelized with sugar, were a big hit with the kid and Mama was also pretty fond of them. Just $4.00 nets you a whole slew, too. The very best thing, though, was the Empanadas. We stowed them in our freezer for later, and they reheated beautifully @ 350 for about 10-15 minutes. They made for perfect lunchbox stuffers, but really, just delicious anytime. I tried one stuffed with ground beef and one with chicken, and while I *think* they were originally baked rather than fried, their crusts were ultra-thin and crisp. Really lovely.
Bottom line: I may well have finally given up on dulce de leche after my experience here. But the Empanadas and Palmiers more than redeemed things. -

Fantastic bakery, wow!
I recently stumbled upon this bakery when searching for places that open early. I had to pick up some treats for my client meetings that day. The bakery is very clean and nicely decorated. I was thrilled to see the variety of items they had. I ended up going back the next morning for myself since my clients were giving such good feedback.
I'm a savory girl so I my eyes lit up when I saw they had empanadas, ham croissants, etc. They also have AMAZING fresh pastries. I had the chance to taste the Bavarian cream pastry fresh out of the oven and WOW, just wow. They bake the empanadas so they taste light and delicious. I really enjoyed the chicken, beef and spinach one. However, those were the only ones I've tried lol. I also like their iced coffee.
The prices are excellent! A dozen pastries for $9 - what a steal! The empanadas are under $2 each. Overall I'm now obsessed with this place and will be going back often.
