Description

Beyond the standard menu, the bakery serves delicious pandeyucas, though other pastries receive less consistent praise. The Rollo de Arequipe can taste hard and stale, while the beef empanadas feature a pasty potato filling with minimal meat. Customers paying by card will find no option to leave a tip for the staff. The shop's physical setup is basic, marked by an old, broken fridge in the lobby. Keep an eye on the receipt, too: items like budín and chicharron de guayaba are sometimes charged under the vague label “varios.”
