Los Balkanes opened its doors in 1989 with one goal: to share the taste of authentic Colombian staples with the community. From the very beginning, our bakery has been family-owned and family-run, built on tradition, passion, and recipes passed down through generations. Today, over 30 years after Los Balkanes first opened it’s doors the bakery remains family owned and operated, keeping the same dedication to quality and authenticity alive every single day.

World Famous Empanadas

At Los Balkanes, we’re known for one thing above all: our extra-stuffed empanadas. Unlike the average empanada, ours are packed with more meat and flavor in every bite. It’s the kind of taste that keeps people coming back again and again—and why we sell out of empanadas every single weekend. If you’ve never tried one, come hungry and prepare to be amazed.

Come Early—We Sell Out!

It’s no secret—on weekends, there’s a line outside our doors before we even open. Our empanadas and fresh-baked goods don’t just draw in regulars; they bring in new fans who’ve heard about the Los Balkanes buzz. That’s why we always say: come early if you want to guarantee your favorites. By the afternoon, our shelves are often empty, a true sign of the love our community has for what we make.

More Than a Bakery

Los Balkanes isn’t just a place to grab a pastry or coffee—it’s a gathering spot, a piece of Colombian culture, and a tradition that’s been shared by families for decades. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, we welcome you to experience the same warmth, quality, and flavor that has defined us for more than 30 years.
