Limonada de panela is a sweet and tangy Colombian drink made from fresh lime juice and panela, a type of unrefined sugarcane. The panela is dissolved in water to create a rich, caramel-like syrup, which is then mixed with zesty lime juice and ice for a refreshing balance of sweetness and acidity. Often served chilled, this beverage is both thirst-quenching and energizing—perfect for hot days or as a special treat with any meal. Simple, yet incredibly flavorful!$5.00

Whether enjoyed as a breakfast snack, a side dish, or a full meal, arepas bring a comforting, mild corn flavor that pairs beautifully with just about anything. Perfect for any occasion!

APERITIVOS
Bunuelos
Buñuelos colombianos are golden, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside cheese fritters that are a beloved treat in Colombian cuisine. Made with a mix of queso costeño (a salty, crumbly cheese), corn flour, and yucca flour, they’re deep-fried to perfection—puffing up into delicious, round bites. They’re especially popular during the holidays but loved year-round with a hot cup of coffee. Lightly savory, subtly sweet, and totally addictive!$10.00OUT OF STOCKPan De Bono
Pan de bono colombiano is a warm, cheesy bread roll that’s slightly crispy on the outside and irresistibly soft and chewy on the inside. Made from a blend of cassava (yuca) flour, cheese (like queso fresco or costeño), eggs, and a touch of cornmeal, it has a naturally gluten-free, slightly tangy flavor thanks to a bit of fermented dough or yogurt. It's a staple in Colombian bakeries—perfect for breakfast or a snack, especially with coffee or hot chocolate.
