La Vienesa is a long-standing bakery in the neighborhood, known for its delectable pound cake and green plantain soup. However, recent reviews suggest that the quality and authenticity of the Colombian cuisine have declined over the years.
While the bakery has been around since at least 1984, some customers have noticed changes in the menu and a departure from traditional Colombian fare. The empanadas are described as greasy, and the arepa con queso (cheese arepa) is said to be lacking in both the type of cheese and the arepa itself. The chorizo (sausage) is also reported to be undercooked and not served with the expected arepa or potatoes.
The service has also been criticized, with customers noting that the staff behind the counter need to be more attentive and customer-oriented. The overall interior and exterior of the establishment could also use some updates, as the decor appears to be stuck in the 80s.
Despite these concerns, some customers still enjoy the Colombian drinks offered at La Vienesa and view it as a quick, convenient option for a bite. However, those seeking an authentic Colombian dining experience may be left wanting.
