🥟 Empanadas With Chipotle Sauce
Girasol Bakery brings Colombian baking to Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, with warm pan de bono and crispy empanadas at the heart of the selection. Savory chipotle sauce accompanies the latter, adding another reason to start with something from the savory side. The kitchen works with seasoned chicken and cheese fillings, wrapped in light, non greasy dough.
The sweeter options deserve a little room in your order, too. Freshly baked breads, cookies, and sweet Colombian pastries fill out the offering, while arepa de chocolo adds another Colombian classic to consider. Choose a savory bite, then explore the baked treats for a snack that covers both sides of the counter.
Weekday mornings offer the earliest opening window. The bakery opens Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Plan around that later weekend start when choosing a day for your Queens bakery stop.
