PARCEROS BAKERY II

"I ordered the chicken soup, it was more like potato soup & needed salt. I’m still looking for the chicken."

"Established in 2021 and located on 30th Avenue in Astoria, this narrow local bakery offers a variety of Colombian delights and was luckily open on Christmas, when my cousin and I came for lunch as first-timers. Upon entering, the Parceros Bakery II was already hopping with patrons enjoying their meal, with only 2 tables left. We were greeted by the staff and sat in the back. The interior was clean and colorful, with Christmas decor and festive music playing. Their menu is posted on the wall with typical baked items such as pan de jamon y queso, arepa de chocolo, or a good selection of hot food, i.e., chorizo, empanadas, tamales, and chicharon. Their popular selections are beef empanadas, baked chicken, and assorted soups. We decided on carne molida (ground beef) accompanied by yellow rice and boiled potato, as well as their Tamal Tolimense accompanied by a small arepa quenching with Colombian soda. I opted for one chicken and one beef empanada to go. The meal arrived hot and full of flavor, and the portions were generous. However, the arepas were served cold and hard. The food was authentic, delicious, and fairly priced. The service was good and friendly. We could recommend this place."

"Everything is always on point here. For months now, I often sit here between local client appointments and notice that the smiles and service is consistent with all the different walks of life that walk through the door. Traditional Colombian fanfare, always delicious, always fresh. From the baked goods to the a la carte food as well as the daily already prepared lunch menu, all always on point!"

"Small but stretched place. Good coffee, excellent baking goods, very nice service. You might find are really authentic colombian sprit. Just try to avoid boñulos - this is not what it should be."

"4.5 stars. Happened to walk by today while doing groceries and saw this new Colombian bakery had opened up. Found out their grand opening was just on March 4th but the place is already hopping. I saw quite a few people coming in and out to grab lunch to go. The interior is very clean and colorful. They have all the typical baked items like almojabanas, pan de jamon y queso, arepa de chocolo and they also sell whole cakes and by the slice. One thing that really stood out to me was the size of these pastries, they were huge! And they also have quite a good selection of hot food. Chorizo, empanadas, tamales, chicharon...just to name a few. I ended up ordering Pollo Al horno (baked chicken leg) which comes with rice and salad. The chicken was so flavorful and most. Was really happy eating this. This place is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and it's now part of my roster of places to eat in Astoria."
