Bogota Bakeries

I think I mentioned in an earlier post that our hostel is flanked by a really good coffee shop and a really good bakery. The smell of baking things pervades our hostel often during the day.

Columbia is big on baking.

There are panaderias that mainly turn out breads and other bakeries that mainly turn out desserts, and some that do both. Please click to take a closer look. How about that Eiffel Tower cake!

The one next to our hostel is a dessert bakery. Just look at their offerings. And they all are well made and taste really good, based on what we have sampled.

There's no cutting corners here on ingredients as is sometimes the case in the States.

Even the smaller towns in Colombia have great bakeries. We were in one in Cajica yesterday and shared a piece of coffee flavored cake that was heavenly.

A bakery like this one would knock out the competition (not much) in Salem, Oregon, where I live for sure.
