Had breakfast here the other morning while in town on business, this little cafe is busy busy. Walk up counter service, with a great cup of coffee. Traditional Colombian style eatery with a simple layout and effective interior. Eggs and tomato, chilis mixed in queso with a white queso melted corn cake. Fresh, simple and absolutely delicious. That with a strong cup of Colombian coffee, black it was a very filling, flavorful and well made breakfast meal. Expect to wait during prime hours but the line moves quickly. Menus overhead and paper menus at the counter. 4.5 Stars rounded up for the excellent java 01043 read more

La comida es riquísima y la atención bién amable. El café sabroso y nos encantan los fríjoles y las empanadas. Lo inconveniente es que sólo venden sopa en tamaño pequeño con acompañantes y no en un contenedor grande para compartir entre varias personas. read more

Amazing Colombian food! Always packed and they should be! Super authentic home cooked food! A must try. I saw them go from a hole in the wall to a really aesthetically pleasing ambiance. I was so happy to see them grow. Truly great. read more

They dont know how to make coffee, should instead change the name The server first made coffee with sugar without asking and then made glass of milk with no coffee in it read more

One of my go to places! Greta service and the food is amazing. I'm there a least once a week. I love the guava and cheese pastry and the chicken empanadas. Can't go wrong with the pan de bono. I love to warm them up in the air fryer. read more

This place used to be my go to for their arepas and it was my favorite thing on the menu. Occasionally I've had some of their other menu items and they were alright. I don't know what happen this time but the food and service weren't there this time. First they gave us the wrong order, we fully walked out with someone else's order. Thankfully we were still in the parking lot so we were able to just return the order. We ordered a churrasco meal with rice beans and fried yuca and I ordered my regular arepa. We wanted the meat medium rare, they were the ones to even ask how we wanted it done, and it came back well done. The beans were watery and my arepa was burnt. I would say that we had an empanada there and it was delicious but that's about it. read more

Me encanta a venir aqui, they always make the food fresh, and the employees are very friendly, but something needs to be done with the parking, it gets really cramped, but overall, I highly recommend this little restaurant... read more

Good food for a quick lunch. I had the daily special but did not like the carne molida but loved the vegetable soup. The empanadas were good. read more

Love the energy of the place, cleanliness and food. The workers there are great and had my order prepared. They also make everyone feel welcomed. The mango batida is one of the best I've tasted, and the empanadas are always fresh and delicious. The mango batida had the mango flavor that I expect when I order, definitely worth a try. Also, love the spicy sauce they give on the side. Since the last time I went there, they have upgraded their technology. You can place an order online and also pay with a card in store. Due to Covid-19 you still are unable to sit in there for a long period of time and it's limited in seating. But if your ever around it is worth a taste. read more

Closest place for my cafe con leche. Never disappoints and the colombian fritters are always deelish!

It's a decent place , I order breakfast for my whole family here at least once a week . My family loves the " chicharones" from here , I always call and make sure they are " well done " but no matter what I say , or how many times I tell them well done , they ALWAYS 100% of the time give me straight up pig fat . No joke check the picture . I've complained many times and they haven't changed anything . I shouldn't have to check my meal, every single time I pick up. It's ridiculous, I really don't feel like taking the 20-30 minute drive to Noches de Colombia in the mornings . Please fix this. read more

Cafe Colombia - a plate of fried potatoes and a lime wedge - Bakeries Near Me - Woodland Park, New Jersey

This is an authentic Colombian cafe in town. They have the best bunelos and empanadas - their empanadas are small but they're also a $1. I even prefer to get my morning coffee from here read more

Plenty of food! Large platters, cooked to perfection and authentic. Nice clean restaurant, friendly staff, and not over spiced. read more

To start with... there is something of a language barrier, so it is very helpful if you can speak Spanish. Sadly I can't, so that made the communications a bit more difficult. Not impossible... just more difficult. The friendly waitress and owner were under the impression that Saturday was a 'holiday' and tried to refuse our LivingSocial coupon. We were able to convince him that Saturday is a weekend and not a holiday. The food was very good. I had the Bandeja Paisa while my wife had the Arepa Montañera.) We also had fried calamari which was good, but I have had better. We assumed that this was a BYO and I think that it SHOULD be because all they had was wine from NJ and that's the only kind of liquor they had. Plus, the NJ wines they did offer were pretty $teep. Every other restaurant we have been to, that has offered wine from NJ has always allowed customers to bring their own, but I couldn't get this across to the owner. I didn't want to argue, so we just ordered some sangria ($28) which was made from NJ wine I'm guessing and far from being good. CC does offer a very distinctly different menu and I'd have no problem going back. However, I'd like to bring a Spanish speaking amigo with me to help with the language. read more

Great place, super affordable and a lot for what you order. The service is awesome very friendly and patient !!!

This place is my favorite when I need a good healthy meal. Best empanadas and great soups. They also have my favorite coffee in the area! Not many places compare, we are regularly visiting and fair prices! read more

The waitress needs some more training on how to approach customers. As I was leaving she's like oh you didn't pay for your pastry and I said I thought you charged me for everything? Then checks my receipt and she's oh you can leave now that was super embarrassing. Never plan on coming to this place again. But you assume check first read more

I am very disappointed in this place it was my first time there. And there was a line of people going out the door and the girl behind the register decided to take a phone call and be on the phone for a half hour and she was the only person ringing up the clients. All of us clients got upset I left and three other people left to because they were so inconsiderate! I will never go back there again and they have morons running the front and the owner whoever it is needs to revamp their customer service and the way they treat clients. I will never go back there again read more

Food is absolutely amazing-quick service-priced amazing. I eat here almost everyday the food always tastes the same.

Stopped in today on the way home on a spontaneous move. The place was very clean, well lit, little crowd and looked ok. Woman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful since I don't speak the language. All I ordered was a beef empanada and a chicken empanada. I learned today that Columbian style empanadas are more to my liking. Both were very good and tasted well seasoned and fresh. No big chunks as I read on Yelp so that changed which was fine with me. Also ordered the chicharon which was gladly sliced up and garnished with lime. Finely it was ended with a guava and cheese pastry nice and fresh and sweet. The price was very reasonable and actually inexpensive. Grabbed a menu for next time so I can order / try more. I think the food I had was good. read more

Nice Colombian spot. From empanadas to buñelos to a bandeja paisa they provide a variety of food you'll find in any other Colombian spot. Service is always great and awesome. read more

Cafe Colombia - Bakeries Near Me - Woodland Park, New Jersey

Small TV...wine list .... next to bakery which has same name and is attached. $ I came here because we had an amazon voucher which was $20 for $40 worth of food. I'm glad we purchased that voucher since I love to support small businesses and I especially love to support my fellow COLOMBIANS. The place was empty when we got there, I was sad to see that because it is beautiful inside and the staff was so friendly. Their food was so good. We had choripapas as an appetizer, it was like having them in Colombia. I know that's hard to believe, but it's all in the "chori" of the Choripapas. It was a kind of sausage that I had in my choripapas the last time I was there last March, so I was very happy. I decided to try something typical as opposed to experimenting. I had an Arepa Montanera and my boyfriend had the most typical of all - Bandeja Paisa. The Arepa Montanera was amazing. The arepa was delicious. Many places make a crappy arepa, but this was like having one of my mom's areapas, and my mother's arepas are very good. When my mother is in colombia, my cousins wont' go buy arepas, because they want her arepas, so that's how good these arepas at cafe colombia were. Now this arepa montanera came with steak, chorizo and chicharron. The steak was okay, but the chorizo and chicharron were great. The chicharron especially was so crispy, which is essential in a good chicharron. It wasn't oily. It was perfect. The arepa montanera came with beans (red beans in case youre asking) they were so good. Best beans I've had in a restaurant. I'm kind of a red beans snob, I make good red beans, and my creator aka my mother makes amazing red beans, so it's hard to please me with your frijoles - but they did! I put it on my arepa. The only thing missing from the arepa was maybe a bit of butter or some cheese - you know something else to clog my arteries, but it was still very satisfying. My boyfriend's Bandeja Paisa was also very good, I pretty much had everything he had with my arepa so I didnt' taste any of his with the exception of his rice, which was very good. To wrap up we had Pan de Bonos which were okay, not the best, but okay. I'm sure it would be better if it were earlier in the d ay. The waiter which I think may have been part owner or family of owner was so nice. I would def. return and I hope that people in the area give this place a try. I hope they do well. read more

They have the best coffee, delicious bakery items and the nicest people own and work here.

I love the coffee and the empanadas are great. I highly recommend this place. Everyone is friendly and there's parking available as well.

Great spot, fresh pastries. Columbia's food at its best. The homemade hot sauce over the sausage and empanadas. Yum!!

Great food great service very nice people. Food is served on time and is inexpensive.

They changed owners and seems like they changed recipes to. My beef empanadas had huge chunks of fat. My arepa was raw on tge inside and burnt on the outside and looked or tasted nothing like an arepa. read more

The food was really tasteless and mediocre. There was absolutely no flavor in the food and it looked dull. The food was left out all day and just reheated. We witnessed this because we were able to see through the kitchen door. The food was horrible and gross. Please save your money and go elsewhere. I am never coming here again. They also over priced our food and we didn't notice until we got home. read more

I always order takeout from this place and the food is always great. The chicken empanadas are the best I have ever tasted. Really recommend this place. read more

Hard to find ITALIAN food like Cafe Colombia Restaurant in Woodland Park offers. We thought, because the name , they only serves Colombian/International Food, but NOT; The Cheff is being cooking in Italian Restaurants for years, and He really knows what to do in the Kitchen. Nothing to compare with other italian restaurants in the area. We recommend a 100% this restaurant......Amazing food and Service. read more

My wife and I are both of Eastern European descent. We enjoy variety and love to try different cuisines. Occasionally we feel the need for a latin food fix so with an Amazon local deal in hand, my wife and I decided to come here on a Thursday for a, post lunch rush, lunch and as it was the place was empty. Maybe the fact that the street outside was being re-paved kept the customers away. Sad because the food was very good if not excellent. We were greeted, seated and served by a fellow I suspect to be the owner. For starters we were offered a freshly made split pea soup which, my wife and I agreed, was to die for. Next my wife had the Salteado de Pollo, which is chicken sauteed with onions, peppers in a vodka like sauce, served with white rice topped with a patacon(flattened and deep-fried plantain). I tasted a bite and we both thought it was delicious. Since I love seafood I ordered Cazuela de Mariscos, a seafood casserole with shrimp, calamari, fish, mussels, crab meat in a lite tomato sauce, also served with white rice and a patacon. This was very good but for the price I'd go with the Salteado de Pollo. I had a Sangria which was just barely OK, and my wife had coffee which is a freshly ground Colombian. The owner claims to import it from a specific growing region in the Colombian mountains that now I can not recall. The coffee was dynamite. There is a bakery next door associated with the restaurant that serves this coffee to go, and they have these melt in your mouth pastries filled with fruit that you absolutely have to try. The coffee is available for sale in 4 or 5 lbs bags unground for those so interested. Would certainly recommend for a casual date or couples night out. Nice, pleasant, well-mannered atmosphere. read more

Cafe Colombia is my to go place for lunch everyday. The daily specials are out of this world especially the chicken or tilapia in lemon sauce. I have also tried the arepa with chorizo and they are very tasty. At the bakery, which is next door, you can get empanadas, pandebonos, arepas de chocolo and bread. Everything is very good and the owner, Don Hector, is so friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try traditional Colombian food or just to have a great meal with family and friends. read more
