At Papi's Café

At Papi's Café With authentic Colombian food we bring the warmth of our heritage to the community.

’s Café is a Colombian-inspired café and bakery in Dubuque, Iowa, created to honor the legacy of "Papi" — a father whose love for food and family inspired a dream.

Big Update from ’s Café 🤎

Starting this week, we will be closed on Thursdays.

As a small, family-run café, we’re always looking at what helps us serve you best while also staying healthy and sustainable behind the scenes. Thursdays have been our slowest day, and instead of stretching ourselves thin, we’re choosing to be intentional with our time, our team, and our resources.

This adjustment allows us to:
✨ Focus on quality
✨ Prep with excellence
✨ Protect our team’s rest
✨ Keep building something that lasts

We’ll continue serving you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday from 7AM–3PM and Saturday 7AM–1PM.

Thank you for supporting a dream that started with Papi and continues because of this community. Your support means everything to us.

🎄✨ Buñuelos & Natilla at ✨🎄

For Colombians, you already know. 🇨🇴
Christmas doesn’t taste like Christmas without buñuelos and natilla. Warm, cheesy buñuelos fresh out of the fryer and creamy natilla sprinkled with cinnamon. One bite and you’re back home, surrounded by family.

For everyone else around the world 🌍
This is Colombian Christmas comfort food. Golden, lightly crispy cheese fritters paired with a smooth, cinnamon-kissed custard. Sweet, savory, cozy, and meant to be shared. It’s a holiday tradition that brings people together, no matter where you’re from.

Come for the nostalgia.
Stay for the flavor.
Discover a tradition loved across generations.

🍁 ONE WEEK LEFT FOR FALL MINI DONUTS! 🍁

If you’ve been telling yourself,
“I’ll grab mini donuts next time…”
Well… surprise! Your “next time” window is shrinking FAST. 😂

We’re officially one week away from saying goodbye to our warm, fall mini donuts before they disappear for a while.

These little guys are cozy, cute, and dangerously addictive. Pair them with a coffee and pretend you’re living your best autumn life before winter smacks us all. ❄️🤣

Hurry in before someone’s tío buys the last box.
You’ve got 7 days. Use them wisely.
