At first I thought the prices were…read morea bit high with a salmon avocado bagel clocking in around $16000 but then when it came out I realized we could have easily split one. The sandwich was delicious and while I would certainly not classify the bread as a "bagel" it was a more appropriate texture for the sandwich than a bagel would have been. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because it was uncomfortably hot inside. I do also wish there were at least a few comfy chairs but I prefer to sip my coffee in a cozy environment as opposed to metal chairs.

This place is such a good find in Buenos Aires. The scones are some of the best we've had. The…read moreavocado toast is also very good. Their pastries are good however since we arrived a bit later, there were a few items remaining and most had sold out. Really recommend this place, one thing to note is that service is a bit slow however. This is standard in BA but just wanted to note.

Cute little neighborhood café, offering up a tasty range of the usual suspects in the local pastry…read moreworld. Staff, a little stand-off-ish, but efficient, at least. A café americano and a postre balcarce. Three layers of vanilla sponge cake, rather firm, the bottom two sandwiching a thin layer of dulce de leche, then the next layer up, a very thin coat of what I'd guess is sweet chestnut paste, no meringues, a thin coating of whipped cream around the outside, and then a heavy dusting of sweetened grated coconut. Not exactly traditional. Okay, no better than that, and only a nod at faithfulness to the original. Okay coffee. 100 pesos combined. Meh. What can I say, they can't all be winners.

This is the very best place in the Monserrat/San Telmo district of BA to get incredible desserts…read morebut especially made-to-order sandwiches. Everything is freshly baked and the food is delicious. You won't be able to decide which pastry to choose, I guarantee it! Friendly staff to boot! I recommend the chicken or jamón crudo (ham) and cheese on a baguette.

Oh my! If you are ever able to sample these wonderful cookies from heaven, you'll never want to eat…read moreanother cookie again. Someone gifted us with assortment of cookies from this bakery in Buenos Aires. All were delicious. My favorite was a cookie topped with raspberry jam, an almond and icing. It was better than an orgasm...ok maybe not better but pretty darn close. These cookies were bite size but each had its own distinct and delicious flavor. If ever I make it to Buenos Aires I will definitely look this bakery up and spend the entire day sampling all their little bits of heaven. So `Ono!

I love cakes. I ate my way through bakeries in Paris. Tried the best San Francisco has to offer…read more And searched far and wide in all the cities I have been, and that's a lot. Smeterling's beats them all to a pulp. The individual cake portions are so immaculately prepared you won't want to touch it. The flavors are just velvety smooth in your mouth and the staff are very welcoming! We even got free macarons from the baker who just popped the shells out of the oven - right in front of you. I would fly 20hrs to Buenos Aires again in a heartbeat for Smeterling's.
