Stuffed Empanadas and Guava Cheese Bread in Astoria
A friendly Queens neighborhood bakery known for quick bites like stuffed empanadas and sweet guava-and-cheese bread.
Why this stop works ✨
La Sabrosura Bakery is the sort of Astoria fixture that locals defend even when the online reviews run mixed. It sits on 30th Avenue as a reliable neighborhood stop for a quick bite between errands.
The order is the stuffed empanadas, handheld and easy to eat on the move, plus a sweet guava-and-cheese bread that splits the difference between snack and dessert. Some regulars note the seasoning can land on the lighter side, and a little hot sauce closes the gap. Loyal locals treat it as a dependable everyday counter rather than a special-occasion splurge.
At 3.8 stars across 52 reviews, opinions split between newcomers and the regulars who keep it in rotation. Come through for a couple of empanadas and a guava pastry, add your own seasoning if you like more punch, and eat them warm on the way out.
