Must-Try Menu Highlights
Now, let's talk about the real star here—the desserts. While the menu is brimming with options, here are a few that stood out during my visit:
- La Hostia Tío (The Damn Dude): If you’re ready to indulge, this is the one to try. A vanilla-based milkshake swirled with marbled dulce de leche, layered with thin Colombian wafers, and topped with a dulce de leche popsicle and whipped cream. Pro tip: let the popsicle melt into the milkshake for an even creamier, sweeter experience. This dessert will take your taste buds straight to cloud nine.
-Cotton Candy Gelato: Perfectly creamy and just the right amount of sweetness, this gelato doesn’t disappoint. Topped with sprinkles, it’s a fun, nostalgic treat that, surprisingly, won’t leave your mouth dyed blue—an added perk if you’re sneaking out during work hours!
- Repollitas de Pandebono: A delightful fusion of traditional Colombian cheese bread (pandebono) filled with vanilla gelato, dulce de leche, and a dusting of powdered sugar. It’s a perfect blend of textures and flavors that offers a unique twist on a classic Colombian dessert.
- Affogato: Need a caffeine boost with your dessert? This combination of a vanilla popsicle and a shot of espresso is both energizing and indulgent, giving you the sweet kick you need to power through the rest of your day.
