Some noted
Service was horrible from the get go. We have to ask multiple times for someone to guide us.
The service is incredibly rude. The blonde girl. Very rude.
I use to love this place, but they denied access to my service dog because my license doesn’t have a picture of it on the wallet version.

“A must visit little store.”
A must visit little store! They have the abc of customer service down! And so many delicious pastries or pizzas to choose from. They have flans, fresh bread and On top of it all, you can get fresh squeezed orange juice as well! What else can you possibly wish for ? 😅🥳

“Every single time we go to Chicago, we stop here to eat because it is just too good to resist.”
Every single time we go to Chicago, we stop here to eat because it is just too good to resist. The Colombian food is very tasty, and it has an affordable price. The tables are clean, and the staff are very friendly. This is a restaurant/Colombian bakery. If you don't have time to stop to eat, you can order Colombian pastries right away.

We visited Pizza y Pan Pa’Ya in Montrose and had an amazing Chicago-style Hawaiian pizza— perfectly cheesy and delicious! The staff noticed they forgot the ham, and to their credit, they brought us a whole new pizza free of charge, which was a fantastic gesture. We also tried some Colombian desserts, and they were delightful— bursting with flavor. The ground coffee was another highlight, bold and aromatic. Great food and stellar service make this spot a must-try. Highly recommend!

Such a gem of a local bakery - the buñuelos and pan de bono are fantastic every time, such a yummy treat (and so affordable!) I also recommend coming for breakfast - the corn arepas and coffee are delicious.

“I ordered a 10-inch thin crust sausage pizza, and it was so good.”
I ordered a 10-inch thin crust sausage pizza, and it was so good. The edges were crispy, sauce and sausage were tasty, and it had lots of cheese. I also tried the coconut and pineapple buns (pan pina and pan coco). These would be good with coffee. My favorite was the pastel de yuca con queso. I could eat three of those. I loved the churro (more like a raised sugar donut) with caramel on the inside. The sweet corn arepa with cheese (arepa de chuclo) and the sweet plantain with guava and cheese (arborrajado) were delicious. I will definitely order again. There are so many more things to try.

“Got pepperoni pizza (pictured), Tres leches, Pan de Bono Relleno de Guayaba (guava bun), and a chicken empanada.”
Got pepperoni pizza (pictured), Tres leches, Pan de Bono Relleno de Guayaba (guava bun), and a chicken empanada. All were fantastic! The pizza crust was nice and crispy. My favourites were the empanada and guava bun, which is why this place deserves 5 stars

“Awesome papa rellena.”
Awesome papa rellena! Empanadas are decent. Service was nice; fully in Spanish though! Might be tough to order in English.
