Pocono Cafe - Bakery & Colombian Restaurant

Food was really good! I’m vegan so I kept it to rice, beans and plantains but it was delicious! My family had some of the meals with meat and they enjoyed it very much. The venue could use an update to its bathrooms badly and seating, as the tables are a bit wobbly and sitting by the windows when it’s cold you’ll feel a draft. But again, the food is great!

On our way back from spending a long weekend camping in the Delaware Water Gap, we stumbled upon a cozy looking Colombian restaurant situated near the Poconos. We initially planned to get takeout, but the hosts were so inviting we ended up dining in. The decor, the friendly atmosphere, the music and weather all combined to create the perfect, relaxing ambience. Having traveled to Colombia several times and my wife being from there, it’s been a challenge to find good, authentic food locally - this place hit the mark. They have a full restaurant menu, but also specialize in delicious baked goods, too. We ordered so much, we had leftovers - the owners were very social and the place was family and pet friendly, too! We’ll definitely come back again on our next trip.

Communication was good, they are native Spanish speakers but can converse in English just fine and are very welcoming. Don’t let some biased reviews stop you from experiencing a real hidden gem. Our dogs gave it 3 paws up, too! (And they only speak Woof!)

My husband and I went for a weekend trip in the Poconos. We came across this restaurant and the atmosphere was cozy. We ended up coming 3 times because their breakfast, dinner and pastries were amazing! We were born and raised in NYC and given the fact that we're also latinos, it tasted like a piece of home. The food was delicious and the people were warm and welcoming. The Mangu was great! The pastries and tres leches were light and flavorful. Don't hesitate to stop by because it is truly delicious food. Our go to stop in the Poconos if we ever in the area again!

We were spending the day at Shawnee and we were looking to have dinner. As usual I googled places near by. Only a 6 minute drive away from the mountain, it was ideal. Upon arrival the parking lot was well decorated with Christmas ornaments and more than enough parking. We were greeted and sat promptly. Mind you we were a party of 10. The service was attentive and they are bilingual so communication was no issue. We started with the beef “ empanadas “ as an appetizer. They were fresh, warm and delicious. We also ordered hot chocolate, fresh lemonade and a typical hot Colombian drink. All on point. We ordered 2 “ picadas” which is a mix of meats. The picadas were a huge portion enough to share. We also ordered a churrasco and it was juicy and came with 2 side orders. We finished with some coffee and a cappuccino. Over all a great experience by all! Next time we are back in the area we will definitely stop by!

I usually don’t leave reviews on Google.
But I wanted to take my time to do it for this amazing Colombian restaurant.
I’m from Ecuador, and finding food that make you feel at home is hard.
I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the Bandeja Paisa, Morcilla and Tres Leches.
We were visiting the Pocono Mountains area, and found this place.
The owner was so welcoming, and she gave my little boy a free pastry, and he was delighted.
If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend this cozy restaurant that has left the best impression!
Hospitable host, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, and wonderful desserts.
I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again.

Everything about this place was great. From the food and to the service. The food tasted and looked very good. The service was great as well. The lady at the front was making me and my family laugh. You should definitely come here if you want great Colombian/ Dominican food. Me and my family are definitely coming back if we visit Pennsylvania again.

Food is absolutely delicious & they are so welcoming! The food is so fresh & the best latin & colombian cuisine i have had in so long, had to come 2 days in a row🤩

When I found out there was a latin restaurant near our resort, I got so excited. Gina was our server. She was very sweet and kind. The food was amazing! It's so hard to find authentic latin food. The mofongo with shrimp was perfectly made and the guacamole with plantain chips was delicious. I'm so happy we found this family owned restaurant.

Theresa the owner is lovely and sooo funny! She gave us great marriage advice. The food is absolutely delicious and large portions. The flavors are amazing, the juices are rich. We scraped the plates! Lots of parking available and the ambiance is quaint and authentic. Run there! It’s sooooo worth it!

Pocono Cafe was awesome. Who knew that a quick Poconos romantic getaway would also have some really great Colombian yummies! The coffee was great, the baked things were yummy, the Colombian breakfast was perfect. Recommend Chicharrones, the Fried Yucca, the Colombian Breakfast Plate... all good, family style! Not just another roadside egg joint. All of the staff were really sweet and helpful and we'll be coming back next time we're in town.

This place is amazing! This family own restaurant has the most tasty food. Everything is bake and cook fresh. The owner is so detailed and caring toward her customers. We had most of her pastries ( guava, pineapple) shrimps, tilapia and her fresh coffee. If you are in the Pocono mountains, PA stop by. You will not regret. Thank you, for your amazing service!

Had a tres leches cake made for my girlfriends birthday, it was delicious and pretty. They were busy and made me this same day just in time, super nice people! I recommend this place to try.

Great authentic restaurant serving breakfast lunch & dinner. Family warm atmosphere, all food cooked to order and beautifully charming place. Highly recommend!

My best friends and I came to this restaurant because of the rave reviews of the food - and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. the food and the service were excellent. It was also very kind of the owner to let us have our dinner although they were very close to closing.

Also MUST TRY the homemade lemonade.

Fantastic food! Very friendly and helpful server.
Only negative was that each individual's main dish came out separately at least 4-5 minutes apart from each other so we could not truly all eat together at the same time.
The guacamole with fried plantain chips is a "must-do" appetizer - very large portion of guacamole and freshly made chips.
Pastries are amazing and fresh!
Everything was very tasty and freshly prepared.
Very nice atmosphere for a small local place!

The Pocono Cafe was the highlight of our trip to the Poconos! They treated us like family in the best way possible. We had breakfast there when we first arrived and then dinner later in the week. We enjoyed so many of their pastries for breakfast each morning that we had to come back for dinner. We got to see them sing happy birthday to another family at dinner and it was truly a celebration. Our toddler had to join in and dance. Delicious authentic Columbian food and baked goods, South American themed Ice Cream flavors, and unmatched personable service is what sets this place apart. Make sure to give them a try when you are in the area.

We stumbled across this restaurant while on vacation and are so glad that we did! The food and baked goods were delicious and the service and atmosphere were even better! Gina took great care of us! We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town again.

We were surprised to find some authentic Colombia food in the middle of Pocono. Everything we had was delicious!! The price was very attractive too. This is the perfect stop to rest after your hike at the Bushkill falls.

Came here for breakfast with a group of friends and the food was delicious. Everything came out pretty quick and we all cleaned our plates. The salsa verde is homemade and goes great with the steak.
Highly recommend

Cozy family owed business with fresh food and baked goods done on premises. Prices are decent and the people are lovely, warm and welcoming. Very tasty food that you can tell was made to order. The empanadas were delicious. Really good.. And they make the baked goods in house so fresh too. Going back for breakfast next weekend
