  1. I had some awesome fresh baked goods.  Really enjoyed everything here.  Had some traditional Colombian bread thats name has escaped me, a great donut and tres leches cake.  Really good and fresh- items were still warm and the price is right.  In Manhattan what I got would have come to about $12 but instead I paid $5.

  2. My vote for the best Columbian bakery in Corona happens to be here at the little store / cafe of El Hornero.  There are a dime a dozen bakeries in the area and the competition is cut throat all throughout Queens.  But none have impressed me more than this little diamond in the rough.

    From their sweet treats to baked eats, El Hornero wins in almost every category I've sampled.  Tiramisu is so money as are their empanadas when piping hot.  The Columbian style cheesecake is creamy and delicious and their mini guava pies with coconut dusting are to die for.  La pastella blanca, aka white cake, is topped with just the right amount of dulce de leche and the frosting is light enough to shun any guilt when eating it.

    Folks with wedding plans or special occasions should consider this place if they have something to celebrate in the neighborhood.  I wish Manhattan had a place as good as this one, I just haven't found it yet.  The desserts are very reasonably priced and their less-than-a-dollar mini desserts are the perfect compliment to a recession / health crazed society.

    That said, my two favorite items by far is their pasa biscocho (aka raisin cake) and their traditional Dominican cake.  Each of these cakes have a ridiculously fluffy texture and buttery taste could trigger a heart attack in a matter of hours.  The road to a badunkadunk booty is made quicker with every savory bite from this lovely bakery.

  3. Pleasant little Columbian bakery right under the #7 train and across the street from the Q72 train to La Guardia. I could see it becoming a regular stop on the way out of NYC. The coffee was piping hot and fine for my tastes. Nothing fancy necessarily. The small coconut pie was gorgeous but a tad on the dry side but not enough for me to complain. Pleasant little neighborhood spot I'd be happy to drop by more often if not for the 1,300+ mile commute. Lady behind the counter clearly a native Spanish speaker but had very good English. Some very delicious items caught my eye. I may be back!
