Eduardo Madrid - Envigado

Excellent European bread, cakes and cakes and above average coffee. One of the few bakeries in the Aburrá Valley that should take a taxi; two blocks from La Buena Mesa Envigado make it a must after lunch or an early dinner. Very recommended.

I spent more than 5 minutes waiting on the cash machine until one of the three employees take my order. None of them. Anyway, I called after them attention, it wasn't until they saw that I left the store, they realized that I was there. In short, you lost a customer.

I went to Eduardo Madrid´s Bakery (It´s not a restaurant) after hearing so many good comments but I came out with mixed feelings, I understand they´re trying to bring different breads to Medellin-Envigado, It´s the first place where I find bagels, kaiser rolls, ciabatta in the city but the service leaves lot to improve, the stock goes out fast, it´s fresh bread so don´t sit and order from the menu, check what´s in the shelves and order from there. I ordered from the menu and several items were gone, which could be a good thing but it ruined my first experience. I took ciabattas home and they were pretty good and smallish, you need two for a sandwich. I´ve tasted the quiche and it´s also very good but I couldn´t try the croissants or bagels, those were gone too. The place sits about 4-5 tables, has nice ambiance, the servers lack some training, clearly they spend more time behind the counter chatting than in the front. Keep in mind they don´t open on Sundays.

Excellent bakery with many breads from all over the world and pastries galore. Nice breakfast or lunch. Friendly service; no one speaks English.

I'm currently living in Envigado and on the lookout for quality bread. Something that Bogota does far better than Medellin. I stumbled across Eduardo Madrid and chose a sourdough loaf. While the bread was nice I found the price quite outrageous.. 11,000 COP. They did slice it for me which was nice but I probably wouldn't buy it again for such a high price. Although I didn't taste them, the cakes looked lovely!
