Above all, the hospitality is amazing. I loved talking to these guys out here. We talked about Columbian coffee, culture, language, etc.
The coffee was hell yeah amazing 😍 area is remote but the hunt for this cafe is worth!
Recently, my wife and I heard of this little gem from a friend on social media. My wife is Colombian so she was very excited to have a true Colombia style bakery near by. I have always heard of the traditional passion fruit/guanabana smoothies my wife has in her country and I couldn’t wait to finally try them.
Since this location is in Sculpture park it can be hard to find parking but don’t let that stand in your way of visiting. We arrived at the bakery moments after they opened, in fact everything was still coming out of the oven and being sorted out for the day. We placed our order ( 1 Soursop smoothie, 1 Passionfruit smoothie, 1 Beef empanada, 1 Ham & Cream cheese puff pastry, and a Milhojas ). The food and drinks arrived at a decent speed…the pastry took slightly long but it’s because we arrived right at opening and they were still sorting things as I mentioned.
The smoothies were absolutely fantastic! I mean WOW. The Soursop was nothing like I have ever tried before. If anything it resembled a yogurt type taste but so much better! The passionfruit was also so refreshing. If I have one recommendation it would be to offer a bigger size in the smoothies. They appeared to come as a 12OZ only but they do offer coffee and 16OZ for the coffees.
The Empanada was great! Cooked well and the dough around the beef was yummy. I’m use to having bigger empanadas but a true Colombian empanada is the same size they offer at this bakery.
The Milhojas is a sweet treat I have never experienced before and it was so good. I would recommend this to anyone. Grab a Milhojas and a coffee and share it with your partner/friend.
Last but not least the Ham & Cream cheese puff pastry. I will mention this also includes Jalapeño. Now, Jalapeño isn’t something traditionally used in the Colombian culture so this surprised my wife, but it was a delicious add in. The texture and crisp of the puff pastry was the favorite thing I had. It was almost like pretzel flakes that melted in your mouth. I really loved this pastry and I for sure could have eaten a few of them.
One thing I would emphasize is that this is a bakery. I’m a 25 Year old who eats a lot so if you are looking to come here for breakfast just know it’s light pastries and coffee/smoothies. You won’t be leaving super full. I would recommend this place for a early weekend adventure. Or quick bite before having a late brunch.
The Colombian Delights Bakery is a relatively new place and it sure is good! I would suggest checking this new location out and showing them some love!
Thanks for the great experience -Colter
This place is a hidden GEM in Seattle!!! Everything on the menu is great and the owner is so nice and friendly. Great spot for a coffee and a pastry on a rainy day or to pick up pastries in bulk for a party :)
