By Lorraine Caputo

For an escape from Colombia—albeit for a moment—walk into Pastelería Francesa. This small café of old-style wooden showcases, photos of early-to-mid-20th century France and French magazines make you feel as if you have stepped into that country. Here fine French pastries created by master baker Patrice Rio await your palate. Try a croissant ($0.60-0.80, the croissant de almendras, filled with almond crème filling is divine), a feijao tart (made from a local fruit) or a mini-quiche ($1.65). Oui, monsieur, there’s baguette, white or whole wheat ($1). Open Thursday-Monday 8 a.m.-6:30 p.m. (until 7 p.m. for carry out). Closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
