The bakery section is equally enticing, boasting a variety of freshly baked goods that promise to satisfy any sweet tooth. Treat yourself to an Almojábana, a pillowy Colombian cheese bread that will have you coming back for more, or sample the delightful Chicharrón De Guayaba, a sweet guava pastry that marries the creamy with the fruity in every bite.

My favorite place to go is 1 Buen Sabor, where I am treated like family. Many of the muchachas call me by name. Two or three days a week I eat comida — rice, beans, and plantain with a selection of meat entrées on the hot steam table. The soups are on another level; I suggest the chicken soup for newbies — comes with rice and fresh cilantro. The bakery products are delicious! Simple and fresh. The coffee is mucho rico! I drink mine black — strong and flavorful, never bitter like other chains nearby.
