La Sorpresa Bakery

The first thing you will notice when entering La Sorpresa are the cases of prepared food. They are full of Latin-American goodies like sweet and savory pastries and classic comfort foods. Here you'll enjoy their popular Colombian pies, breads and different pastries that form an important part of Colombian cuisine. And if you happen to be in the area, you really should swing by for their Colombian Empanadas - made with spiced meat and potato stuffed in a crispy fried cornmeal shell or their Chicharron - fried pig skin with the fat and bits of pork meat still attached, similar to unsmoked bacon, but it's much more "porky" and hearty.
