And the Swiss pastry shop?
If you are looking for Medellín’s historic Swiss-founded pastry shop, that is Astor, founded in 1930. Bread Factory is a different place: a bakery and brunch restaurant in El Poblado, inside Hostel Rango, where we bake bread and croissants in-house and serve Swiss plates.
