La Vienesa — Restaurant in New York

This bakery, at least it’s name has been around since I can remember and that would be at least 1984 i am sure it was established before that.

Stopped by to grab a quick bite and about the only thing I can see that has changed is the menu boards atop. Never seen this type of concept at a Colombian bakery before which leads me to think if this place is still Colombian.

Got Myself a beef empanada which wasn’t too bad but very soaked in grease and the grease itself had an overly burnt, used taste to it. Along with that I got me a chorizo which is sausage, that wasnt bad but I believe it needed more cook time as it was undercooked. these sausages are ordered from a vendor so that’s about the same as any other Colombian bakery.

Service wise the two people behind the counter should acknowledge there are people waiting online, they definitely need to be more customer oriented.

Interior has not changed much from what I could recall. The exterior should get some fix up as everything looks like it was from the 80s, awning looks like it got mauled by a tiger.

For a quick bite it’s not a bad...

This is NOT COLOMBIAN FOOD!

I used to love this place like 10 years ago, now they change staff sometime unpleasant.

I gave it so many chances because of the memories, but I just can’t anymore.

They have no idea about Colombian authentic food, empanadas are greasy, arepa con queso is to laugh about no clue on type of cheese or even arepa used, try get a chorizo under cooked and doesn’t even come with arepa or potatoe they offered bread with it 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 (the disrespect is real)

Its like walking into a deli tbh.

I would still go and buy Colombian drinks tho...

I used to like this place a lot! It seems they changed the staff or owner? I don't know but now prices increased and everything is terrible high and the quality is terrible. Bunuelos are raw inside and filled with air instead of cheese like used to be. The Tres leches dessert had BURNT cake, how is it even possible? The whole container used to be filled, now it's almost empty and more expensive. It's sad a good place has lost its quality! And the new staff are good to you only if you tip, if you don't they don't want you...
