Pastelería Mila

Cartagena


Cartagena's fanciest patisserie serves up breakfasts and lunches at this fashionable spot in the heart of the Old Town. The distressed walls and wooden beams create a contemporary vibe, while the leather banquettes are grander in style. The combo breakfast (pancakes with dulce de leche, sour cream, scrambled eggs and crispy bacon) might be considered a crime in less permissive jurisdictions.
