Their empanadas are average I'd say. Iv tasted better but they sell a lot of varieties of Colombian food.

Want inexpensive and delicious Colombian food? Then this is your place! There are about 3 of these located in Queens and 2 of them are in Jackson Heights, but this one is my favorite. I've only been to 1 of their other locations (the one on Northern Boulevard) which is a bigger space, but this one generally seems to feel less crowded. Most of the times I've swung by here has been with my mom who is a fan of their empanadas - they're not bad and definitely the authentic Colombian kind, however I prefer Mama's Empanadas anytime because of their greater variety of fillings...although I've tried both the chicken and beef ones here and while not bad at all, Mama's fillings are generally on the more generous and jucier side...so they win there as well. What does completely rock at Seba Seba is their Tres Leches cake. OH MANZ. For $3 you get a slice that is like the size of your face! It's moist, flavorful and best of all - enough to split with someone should their eyes bug out of their heads and they ask for a bite :). Actual savory meals here are pretty reasonably priced and they sell all sorts of Colombian and Mexican entrees that have really big portions. Service here can be hit or miss which can make it feel fast-foodie or diner like, but whatevs. Still delish and quick. I'll definitely be back since I live a hop, skip and a jump away!

Come here often to indulge myself with some authentic Colombian pastries. The service is amazing and the employees do really care about their consumers, if you become a regular you are most likely to befriend one or two waitresses.

I just got 3 breakfast orders from here an they messed up on 2/3. If my arepa is suppose to come with cheese I expect cheese. No one eats an AREPA dry! So I return my two orders and the guy manager apologizes, brings the 2 orders in and comes back in 2 minutes and apologizes again. I get home and guess what "ITS COLD CHEESE ON MY AREPA" The audacity of a manager to throw cold cheese on it and give it back to an already disappointed customer. This place sucks!!!!

I like their food and service awhile back when my friend first introduced me to this place. I thought it would be the same. So I wanted to take my husband to this restaurant. And when I did, the service was slow, flies flying around and the food was okay. I wish the place was more cleanliness. And the waiters/waitress for more attentive to the customers. The atmosphere of the place was okay. I was bothered by the fly. Couldn't really enjoyed my meal with my husband.

This review as well as the stars go ONLY towards their Empanadas, Buñuelos and Hot Chocolate. As soon as I came to this place and tried their empanadas, they were so good that their taste reminded me of the times I went to Colombia as well as their yummy hot chocolate and buñuelos. The price is super cheap and the people are very nice WHEN they finally get to you. This place gets SO busy esp during the weekends that you have to wait a good 15-20 min for them to take care of you/give you a place to sit. It will take just as long to get your check. You have to constantly get their attention in case you need more drinks/napkins/etc. If you're in a hurry just get on the To go line and order there. Also as some people have said they are very stingy with their sauce make sure they give you enough. Again their empanadas buñuelos and hot chocolate are really good, it's just a shame that the service needs to improve a lot.

I have visited Seba Seba, all three locations in Jackson Heights and Corona, again, again, again, again and again. My BF is hooked on their corn meal crusted empanadas ($1.25), as I am too. The empanadas have to be eaten hot, asap. I have actually reheated it on a dry pan or in a toaster oven just so it is crisped back up and heated through. Make sure they give you salsa (hot sauce). We also love the Chicharron de Guayaba, a flaky pastry with guava paste inside, which is my favorite at $1.25. The coffee is strong. Woooooo, talk about a jolt of caffeine!! I've never sat down to dine in; always bought takeout. Always got no-fuss quick service. It might take a while to get their attention but they work fast to get your order together. There is a very small counter you can sit at and as well as table service.

The waitresses are super nice to Spanish speaking customers and seem indifferent to others. I have noticed this in many Colombian restaurants but seba seba definitely. stands out for their rude and racist behavior! I cannot believe how they manage to sustain a business in America with this attitude. The quality of food is also not that great! The empanadas smell like stale oil most of the times.

I have stopped going in here a long time ago. I told myself I will not bring in money to a store that does not treat their customers right. Ive witness the cashiers attitude change when she went from her helping a Colombian customer, male/female/old/young, to helping me or the people I've been with. I honestly use to go for their baked goods and coffee but i gave up. I hate the service. They were never kind or friendly to me. Ive handed them the cash in their hands and they have slapped it on the counter when I've had my hand sticking out ready to receive my change. They are so cheap with the extra sauces! Ive ordered well over a dozen empanadas for my family and they only give me one little hot sauce container. I use one of those little hot sauces for one empanada! I hate that its right at my corner because its so convenient but I am never giving them my hard earned money again.

Im hooked on their breakfast!! This is my go-to place when I'm in Jackson Heights and I'm craving a good Colombian breakfast. Huge portions and affordable prices! Double win.
Really unique place. Looks like a futuristic 50s diner, if that makes any sense (probably not). Wait staff was friendly. Menus had big pictures of each dish to help you choose if you're not familiar with the selections. I had the chicken/mushroom/mayonnaise/bacon corn cake for dinner because the combination sounded delicious. Admittedly, it was my first time trying Colombian, but I found there to be more emphasis on quantity than quality. That's not to say my meal wasn't good (it took a few bites to really get the full mix of flavors), but I would've rather had less food that had more spice and texture. I also thought the water tasted a little funny, but that's because I'm used to Brooklyn and Manhattan tap. To each his own! I definitely want to come back and try something else from their menu.

Way, way, way off the tourist beat - 14 stops away from Times Square on the 7, to be exact - deep in the heart of Queens is this sunnyside-up Colombian coffee shop. Yep, Colombian. Get off at the Jackson Heights station and walk about three blocks, and you're here. It's a friendly place abuzz with locals who seem to know to order off the menu otherwise given to gringos like me. I was with my friend Carlos who was intent on getting his favorite dish, the $7.50 Huevos Rancheros, which came with two fried eggs and very fresh-tasting guacamole (see my photo). His was good, mine was a bit meh...the drawback of being ignorant in a foreign land. OK, it's Queens, but you know what I mean. I ordered the $8.25 Desayuno Seba Seba #1, which consisted of a grilled breakfast steak, a small Spanish-style omelette, rice and beans, and a flatbread with cheese called almojabana (see my photo). The steak was pretty dry and needed a heavy dousing of hot sauce to wake it up, the eggs suffered somewhat from the same fate, and the almojabana was not quite as tasty as it looked despite the little granules of white cheese spooned on top. The best part was the rice and beans, which had a nice, day-after flavor to them. Others were having prawns, fajita-looking meats, and all sorts of savory goodies. Lots of mugs of hot chocolate abound since it was a cold, crispy day. Had I known to order off the menu in Spanish, I would have taken a crash Berlitz course. Carlos swears by the place. I'm on the fence. However, this stretch of 37th Avenue looked like a UN general assembly of ethnic eateries, so another ambitious trip out here wouldn't be out of the question, compadre. FOOD - 3 stars...passable menu fare...I surmise that the key to success is to order off the menu AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a sunny-bright diner and very clean SERVICE - 3.5 stars...fast, for sure...maybe crack a smile? TOTAL - 3 stars...it's a long way to Jackson Heights, so bring your overnight bag and maybe your passport

I usually like eating here, but after today's experience never again. The wait staff is usually pretty laid back, but today they were downright nasty. My husband and I walk in with a stroller, and the waitress just stares at us and keeps about her business. So we go to an empty table and sit, and try to accommodate the stroller as much as possible. Then that witch comes over and asks us who sat us there. We told her everyone ignored us, at which points she huffs and mutters under her breadth. She then throws the menus at our table and walks off. Needless to say we got up and walked out, and no one cared. This is not how you run a restaurant. If you want a bad time eating, this is your place. If you want a nice eating experience, go somewhere else. La Boina Roja is in the other block, that's where we wound up going.

As is the case with most Hispanic bakeries, ordering a light coffee means you get a cup of steamed milk with a dash of coffee (Nancy note: a large coffee costs $2.25 here). Allow me to further note that the daily specials cannot be picked up. Seba Seba prefers you show your face when ordering said items.

Great little Colombian place for breakfast, but be warned - place gets PACKED!! Trust me, it's worth the wait. Anything on their menu is really, really good. My favs is the arepa de choclo con queso and the avena. The avena is really good!

Colombian food in Jackson Heights isn't that hard to find. This Seba Seba is pretty good though. I've gone for lunch a bunch of times. The food is what you would expect. Nothing too fancy. The service can be kind of tough if you don't speak Spanish so take a friend along or learn how to order in Spanish first.

While I love their breakfast, its a hit or miss if you do anything besides that. Soups are delicious and their carne encebollado is succulent and flavorful. The assortment of arepas are vast but average tasting to strange tasting. Better off going to Pollos Mario in the neighborhood its never a miss there. The prices are solid and the service is average, atmosphere is a little off it looks like a Colombian cafe with a rough edge but then you're hearing pop music throughout. I dont want to hear Rihanna while I'm eating Colombian food, throws off on the experience a little

I had the huevos revueltos (scrambled eggs on rice). It was not bad. Our waitress was nice enough to provide us with hot sauce and ketchup (for my friend's steak and eggs dish). My friend said that her portion was huge and that she no longer needed to eat lunch. So bear that in mind, when you get more than one item...you might be ordering more than needed. In addition to my breakfast, I ordered a guayabana drink which was pretty good. Upon finishing my beverage, I was memorized over the delicious pastries sitting inside the glass display, but sadly there was no room. I was disappointed that they ran out of my favorite drink: avena caliente(oatmeal drink). I came in with a friend who thought it was drafty in here. I was fine with my jacket on and a meal under $10. Note: they charge you for to-go containers, a quarter for each metal container--unless you can finish in one sitting--why not? It is not too crowded, and the food is decent.

My gauge for Colombian food is breakfast. Breakfast is taken seriously in Colombia. The breakfast at Seba Seba was - as so many Colombian things in this fair city tend to be - disappointing. The eggs, which in traditional Colombian fashion should be scrambled with a flavorful mix of onions and tomatos (we call this "huevos pericos") were overcooked and flavorless. But, the almojábanas and the buñuelos were pretty decent. Then it dawned on me: Seba Seba is a bakery that is trying to offer a full service menu. So, while they're breakfast/lunch plates are lackluster, they manage to offer serviceable almojábanas, pandebonos, buñuelos, milhojas, pasteles de guayaba, mixed in with some other non-Colombian baked goods. If you need a place to stop for a coffee/snack break while shopping on 37th, then Seba Seba is not a bad choice.

I've travelled to Columbia for the first time without leaving the U.S. for gargantuan portions of tres leches at $3.00 per cake slice with two very good friends and fellow Yelpers (Kiddeft K. and Marlene Q.). After a late lunch/early dinner at La Pequeña, we were full and desired sweets to come across Seba-Seba. Seba-Seba is a fast-pace casual family restaurant and bakery. There is one restroom facility and seating. They serve Mexican specialties as Huevos Rancheros; Fajitas Mixtas, Alambre, Carne Asada Con Nopales along with typical American fast food of hamburgers with French Fries. Oddly, tres leches is not listed on the take-out menu as I've learned from my dearest Marlene Q. that it is a traditional Mexican dessert.

If you want some Colombian food its pretty good quick place to get it. One time I found an Industrial Sized Staple in one of my Empanada's de Carne. It was the 4th one I had eaten that day with no problems but that was kinda scary.. It didnt stop me from going there.. I still eat all the food I can

I often ask myself, how can I make myself feel sick, miserable, unworthy and empathize with those who have congestive heart failure? What could I do?Where could I eat? What place will encompass all of these things? The answer is at 7928 37th Ave. in Jackson Heights. Seba-Seba. Gross food, mean waitstaff, food that is screaming at you to help it as it drowns in a deep fryer of despair. Keep yourself and your loved ones far away.

This bakery/eatery is located in a up-and-coming neighborhood in Queens. I love this area because you walk a block and you can choose different types of Spanish foods, Indian, Chinese or even my good ol' diner Jahn's. Seba Seba has a great menu selection of meats, meats and more meats. Kidding, they have many other tummy filling items also. I love ordering for breakfast the Spanish omelet. You can opt to get it with meat (sausage, bacon or ham), but either ways you will get a side of home-fries and toast. I'm very picky about my home-fries and this is one of the places you will see me polish my plate of everything. All around you, you will see all others have breakfast with hot choco. Decadent or what! I usually go the OJ route. At a $1 for a decent sized glass of OJ is not bad (not fresh squeezed, but it is Tropicana). If you want bakery stuff, I highly recommend the empanadas and the cheese balls (not really cheesy, mostly dough, but great snack). For dinner, I have ordered the steak with beans, yellow rice and yellow plantains. It came with a side of salad. The steak was a little tough and thin, but hey it's considered a "poor man's steak", but it was packed with flavor. I'm not to thrilled with their version of salchipapas, but it'll do if I'm desperate for some fries and hot dogs. The apple soda is a good compliment to meal or you can opt for a fruit juice/shake of theirs. If you like to go on the edge, try the Mora Shake, which is really Andean Blackberry blended with milk. Service is always friendly from the ladies, to which they always top you off with complementary coffee candies. Once our friendly waitress noticed that we finished the two candies she gave us and she grabbed a handful more for us to go.

I am such a regular here, this place never disappoints me. The food is well cooked, the prices are super affordable, the portions are generous and the waiters are there to please. =) I have had the soups, eggs w/arepa, skirt steak, shrimp, chicken salad, tostones w/avocado all very good. They also have a bakery filled with treats if you want to keep it simple with a cup of coffee. Seba Seba does have other locations as well. In Junction and Roosevelt under the 7 train (not as big) Northern Blvd and 83rd street I believe (even smaller) But this location is by far my favorite. (they have one bathroom and it's always spotless) Come with your family & enjoy. =o)

Thank you Seba-Seba for cleaning your kitchen. I had often stopped by for a snack, but stopped going when I saw their first NYC Sanitary Inspection grade, which was "C." Apparently, they got religion. The new inspection grade is "A." Please folks, keep vigilant. There are actually some customers that really do care about sanitation.

Ravi J.
Feels like a fast-casual family restaurant, straight out of Colombia. Highlight on the menu is the tostones con guacamole and the vast array of arepas. Mexican entrees are also decent, although its strange that one would go to a Colombian restaurant for Mexican food. Agree with earlier points about service being poor/slow, and the decor being too bright and fast-foodish. That said, Seba Seba is the real-deal Jackson Heights experience. Prices are also at good value, and portions are huge.

Seba Seba seems to be popping up everywhere. There's this location, one on Junction and Corona and another on Northern Boulevard. I got the broiled fish and shrimp combo. Not bad, except my second piece of fish wasn't cooked through. No big deal tho, they took it back and set it under the broiler for me and it was good to go. My Mom got the mini country platter. MINI MY BUTT! I was so jealous when her food came. Rice with a fried egg, sausage, chicharon, tostones and a piece of steak. She finished every artery clogging bite and loved it. We also ordered a side of tostones topped with guacamole and more chicharon. Yum. Next time I go, I think I'll try their arepas ... Even though it was good, I'll give it three stars because really, how do you mess up eggs and fried pork skin? Not possible.

I've had a couple of breakfasts here, and have randomly stopped-in throughout the day over the years for a quick snack... The food is okay, especially the fried stuff, but nothing is very memorable or exceptional -- although for a cheap "nosh' you can't go wrong with their Chicken Empanada (which is very well-seasoned and has a generous portion of tender potatoes and juicy chicken) for a mere $1.25.

One night, I got their chicken empanada, stuffed with chicken strips, potatoes, and onions. It was delicious! The waiter let us sit there for over an hour, while we talked and enjoyed our snack without ordering us out. The cafe was pretty busy; people came and went for the three hours that we were there. Later, we got hungry so we ordered some of their fried plantains with guacamole and pork skin and some cornbread pita with chicken. The fried plantains dish was really good, thanks to the guacamole. The cornbread pita was ok. It was dry and hard to eat. All in all, I would come back for the empanadas and appetizer menu. Their service is good too. :)

Long live the empanda!! Great sit-down diner-style Colombian food. This is the crown of Jackson Heights. Sit at the counter or at a table. Grab lunch or just a pastry & coffee. Get a bunch of the little empanadas with the flavorful potato, and a larger meat one for variety. Great chicharron (crispy strip of fried pork). Great tostones with guac' on top or with carne molida. Get the fried red snapper. Quality food at great prices. But don't let your dominican girl catch you checking out the lovely colombian ladies, 'cause you'll never hear the end of it on the ride back on the 7 train.

Lights are too bright here, I can't relax. I like the night too much to relax in coffee shops like this. I'm tired at noon. Lots of tables for groups or lonesomes. The bakery section looked nice, but it's difficult to notice if you aren't looking for it. They should put all that good stuff up in front. As far as the menu goes, the tostones combinations looked interesting with toppings like ground meat or guacamole. I'm suddenly feeling inspired. Daily specials for 6.95 which include a plate of a salad, rice, plantain, and main dish plus bowl of soup. Nothing skimpy. The salad dressing is just okay and I wouldn't choose it if I had the choice. Staff is warm but infrequent. Quality and character of the plates I've had were just okay. I don't respect the preparation entirely; It's a busy kitchen and I don't think there is much accountability. The product seems simple and accessible to North Americans - neither attributes I look for. Choose your lunch carefully.

Very low key decor, good food at very good prices, I mean you can get a dinner for under $7! But and this is a big but, the service is really, really, really and I mean really slow. Also, I was in there on a cold winter's day and had to keep my coat on so that I could enjoy my meal. Heat please!

Oh how I would like to keep this spot as my little secret... The prices are great! For 15 bucks 2 people can eat and be stuffed! So, the soups change daily but our favorite is the caldo de costillas or rib soup. If going before breakfast and u are a big man or a girl that just likes to eat like me you must try the Seba Seba # 1 breakfast. It is hevos pericos, carne asada y calentado. Meaning, eggs, think steak, and rice and beans mixed. The skirt steak with shrimp is one of my favorite dishes. And their specials of the day are hit or miss. You never know until you try it. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I don't give it 5 stars because of one or two waiters. And because they changed the brand of coffee or burnt the pot to make it taste differently and the prices have gone up in the past month or so.

Wow I must have gone to the wrong Sebas Sebas or did everyone else go to the wrong place? The one here on 37th Avenue is a Horror. Every time I went to this place no matter what I ordered it was horrible. The only thing I liked about the place was the lighting ... that was just about it, hence the one star. One day I ordered an arepa with cheese and the arepa was all dry and crispy on the edge and the cheese was burnt. Another time I ordered a columbian sandwich and all it had was ham and cheese ... where was the pork and pickle? Yes I went twice because I was giving them the benefit of the doubt ... I thought maybe I was ordering the wrong thing. Nope. The place is a HORROR!

Columbian cuisine. Noticed a lot of branches sprouting up everywhere around Jackson Hts, Elmhurst area. Didn't realize there was one right next to us in Junction Blvd. Well first time I went there with my friend Savita who is Indian from where else, India. We had the green bananas pounded & fried topped w/ Avocados, very tasty. Camille had Broiled Salmon & Shrimp , fish was not cooked right, we had to give it back to the waiter & cook it more. I had the Mini Bandeja Paisa (MINI it was not) It was actually a big Platter of Rice w/ eggs, Steak, Chorizo, Pork Chicharon andl Plantain. It was good but next time you have to go there really hungry and skip the breakfast.

Seba Seba is my new favorite spanish/latin bakery. The cheese puffs are cheaper and better than Abundancia. Chewier texture (similar to Asian rice cakes). Reminds me of the cheese bread at Calle Ocho in Manhattan. Quite addictive! Try them when they're hot...like hot Krispy Creme donuts... almost forgot to mention the mini-Empanadas! bite-sized yumminess.

This place, though a coffee shop, has unexpectedly good South American (I wanna say Colombian) food. Even my dad liked it, which is something, since only fancy, pricey and pretentious places tend to float his boat usually. I had some fish thing that was so big, I could barely finish have of it. They are known for the bakery, the original is on Northern Boulevard, I believe, but I didn't have a chance to try out their baked stuff, I was too full from eating an entire fish and rice and all that jazz. It was really cheap too, my dad and I probably spent $20 between us.

Why is this place ALWAYS busy? Well, I had to go find out and now I know why. I had their tamal for lunch. The food is delicious, fresh and authentic. The portions are huge (or at least for me). Space is a little tight with about 5-10 minute wait on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't think the service was slow. They also had like a juice bar. Only thing is you need cash if you're spending under $10. I ordered then asked about credit cards/cash. The waitress barely spoke any English. So a fellow-customer at the bar where I was sitting informed me about needing cash under $10. I'm not entirely sure about the credit card situation. I didn't happen to have cash, so I had to run out to the ATM after I ordered. Good thing I asked before I ate!

Staff is very nice, but one day the french fries had hair in it and a week latter the salad had industrial Brillo. There is something wrong with this place and might sound crazy but I think many are angry disfranchise immigrants taking it out on the food. The world is sinking in every aspect of life: fashion, food, morals, education. We live in a world where every incident is the worst in history etc you get the point. Cook at home save money, lose weight, spend quality time with family.

I only tried their pandebono and almohbanas (cheese bread, the former one is the one with a hole shaped like a donut, and the latter one is just a round one) at their bakery section. I was happy that they both were very fresh with right kind of cheesy flavor without some bad aftertaste like some other cheese rolls you can have. The interior was bright and clean (probably new?), and it is nice that they have a little seating section for eating solo right next to the bakery section - it is convenient when you want to grab a bite and sip coffee on the other hand and take off as soon as you're done. The place looks packed always and I haven't tried their actual meals yet, but I will definitely come back again for trying them. The display of the bakery goods looked very clean and sanitary, too, and one more note - their coffee was pretty good. I just had a cup of coffee with milk only, but I was pretty happy with it. I have been having a hard time finding a good coffee joint in Jackson Heights (and why not... aren't the coffee beans originally from South America?!), and this was a good surprise to me.

Want inexpensive and delicious Colombian food? Then this is your place! There are about 3 of these located in Queens and 2 of them are in Jackson Heights, but this one is my favorite. I've only been to 1 of their other locations (the one on Northern Boulevard) which is a bigger space, but this one generally seems to feel less crowded. Most of the times I've swung by here has been with my mom who is a fan of their empanadas - they're not bad and definitely the authentic Colombian kind, however I prefer Mama's Empanadas anytime because of their greater variety of fillings...although I've tried both the chicken and beef ones here and while not bad at all, Mama's fillings are generally on the more generous and jucier side...so they win there as well. What does completely rock at Seba Seba is their Tres Leches cake. OH MANZ. For $3 you get a slice that is like the size of your face! It's moist, flavorful and best of all - enough to split with someone should their eyes bug out of their heads and they ask for a bite :). Actual savory meals here are pretty reasonably priced and they sell all sorts of Colombian and Mexican entrees that have really big portions. Service here can be hit or miss which can make it feel fast-foodie or diner like, but whatevs. Still delish and quick. I'll definitely be back since I live a hop, skip and a jump away!

I just got 3 breakfast orders from here an they messed up on 2/3. If my arepa is suppose to come with cheese I expect cheese. No one eats an AREPA dry! So I return my two orders and the guy manager apologizes, brings the 2 orders in and comes back in 2 minutes and apologizes again. I get home and guess what "ITS COLD CHEESE ON MY AREPA" The audacity of a manager to throw cold cheese on it and give it back to an already disappointed customer. This place sucks!!!!

I like their food and service awhile back when my friend first introduced me to this place. I thought it would be the same. So I wanted to take my husband to this restaurant. And when I did, the service was slow, flies flying around and the food was okay. I wish the place was more cleanliness. And the waiters/waitress for more attentive to the customers. The atmosphere of the place was okay. I was bothered by the fly. Couldn't really enjoyed my meal with my husband.

This review as well as the stars go ONLY towards their Empanadas, Buñuelos and Hot Chocolate. As soon as I came to this place and tried their empanadas, they were so good that their taste reminded me of the times I went to Colombia as well as their yummy hot chocolate and buñuelos. The price is super cheap and the people are very nice WHEN they finally get to you. This place gets SO busy esp during the weekends that you have to wait a good 15-20 min for them to take care of you/give you a place to sit. It will take just as long to get your check. You have to constantly get their attention in case you need more drinks/napkins/etc. If you're in a hurry just get on the To go line and order there. Also as some people have said they are very stingy with their sauce make sure they give you enough. Again their empanadas buñuelos and hot chocolate are really good, it's just a shame that the service needs to improve a lot.

This mini chain boasts a huge selection of mediocre products, none of which will have me back.

I have visited Seba Seba, all three locations in Jackson Heights and Corona, again, again, again, again and again. My BF is hooked on their corn meal crusted empanadas ($1.25), as I am too. The empanadas have to be eaten hot, asap. I have actually reheated it on a dry pan or in a toaster oven just so it is crisped back up and heated through. Make sure they give you salsa (hot sauce). We also love the Chicharron de Guayaba, a flaky pastry with guava paste inside, which is my favorite at $1.25. The coffee is strong. Woooooo, talk about a jolt of caffeine!! I've never sat down to dine in; always bought takeout. Always got no-fuss quick service. It might take a while to get their attention but they work fast to get your order together. There is a very small counter you can sit at and as well as table service.

The waitresses are super nice to Spanish speaking customers and seem indifferent to others. I have noticed this in many Colombian restaurants but seba seba definitely. stands out for their rude and racist behavior! I cannot believe how they manage to sustain a business in America with this attitude. The quality of food is also not that great! The empanadas smell like stale oil most of the times.

I have stopped going in here a long time ago. I told myself I will not bring in money to a store that does not treat their customers right. Ive witness the cashiers attitude change when she went from her helping a Colombian customer, male/female/old/young, to helping me or the people I've been with. I honestly use to go for their baked goods and coffee but i gave up. I hate the service. They were never kind or friendly to me. Ive handed them the cash in their hands and they have slapped it on the counter when I've had my hand sticking out ready to receive my change. They are so cheap with the extra sauces! Ive ordered well over a dozen empanadas for my family and they only give me one little hot sauce container. I use one of those little hot sauces for one empanada! I hate that its right at my corner because its so convenient but I am never giving them my hard earned money again.

Soup//their soup is delicious very flavorful they have great combos like the soup and the combo Adds in a tin of chicken rice and a salad which all taste good Breakfast//there breakfast is the probably the best thing you can get they only sale it at a specific time the breakfast is always nice and warm when you get it and always has a great flavor Pastry//the pastry is never recommended it's always hard as a rock doesn't taste good at points and doesn't really get sales that often Empanadas etc.// are always nice and warm and they will never disappoint you
(4)Tania C.
I can only comment on the empanadas and they are yummy and filled with a good amount of potatoes and beef.
(4)Tatiana G.
Im hooked on their breakfast!! This is my go-to place when I'm in Jackson Heights and I'm craving a good Colombian breakfast. Huge portions and affordable prices! Double win.
(5)Kimberly H.
Solid spot for inexpensive and tasty Colombian food! We were visiting friends in Jackson Heights and stopped in to Seba-Seba for a quick bite before heading into the city for the day. I ordered an arepa with sautéed peppers, onions and chicken with a side of guac. The portion size was large (I could only get through about half) and the chicken was flavorful and juicy. The peppers, onions and quac paired with it, made for the perfect Colombian version of a fajita for this California native. I can't wait to go back on a bitter cold day for one of their hot chocolates and, even better, on a warm summer day for a fresh juice. I will definitely be back!
(4)Kenny C.
Really unique place. Looks like a futuristic 50s diner, if that makes any sense (probably not). Wait staff was friendly. Menus had big pictures of each dish to help you choose if you're not familiar with the selections. I had the chicken/mushroom/mayonnaise/bacon corn cake for dinner because the combination sounded delicious. Admittedly, it was my first time trying Colombian, but I found there to be more emphasis on quantity than quality. That's not to say my meal wasn't good (it took a few bites to really get the full mix of flavors), but I would've rather had less food that had more spice and texture. I also thought the water tasted a little funny, but that's because I'm used to Brooklyn and Manhattan tap. To each his own! I definitely want to come back and try something else from their menu.

Way, way, way off the tourist beat - 14 stops away from Times Square on the 7, to be exact - deep in the heart of Queens is this sunnyside-up Colombian coffee shop. Yep, Colombian. Get off at the Jackson Heights station and walk about three blocks, and you're here. It's a friendly place abuzz with locals who seem to know to order off the menu otherwise given to gringos like me. I was with my friend Carlos who was intent on getting his favorite dish, the $7.50 Huevos Rancheros, which came with two fried eggs and very fresh-tasting guacamole (see my photo). His was good, mine was a bit meh...the drawback of being ignorant in a foreign land. OK, it's Queens, but you know what I mean. I ordered the $8.25 Desayuno Seba Seba #1, which consisted of a grilled breakfast steak, a small Spanish-style omelette, rice and beans, and a flatbread with cheese called almojabana (see my photo). The steak was pretty dry and needed a heavy dousing of hot sauce to wake it up, the eggs suffered somewhat from the same fate, and the almojabana was not quite as tasty as it looked despite the little granules of white cheese spooned on top. The best part was the rice and beans, which had a nice, day-after flavor to them. Others were having prawns, fajita-looking meats, and all sorts of savory goodies. Lots of mugs of hot chocolate abound since it was a cold, crispy day. Had I known to order off the menu in Spanish, I would have taken a crash Berlitz course. Carlos swears by the place. I'm on the fence. However, this stretch of 37th Avenue looked like a UN general assembly of ethnic eateries, so another ambitious trip out here wouldn't be out of the question, compadre. FOOD - 3 stars...passable menu fare...I surmise that the key to success is to order off the menu AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a sunny-bright diner and very clean SERVICE - 3.5 stars...fast, for sure...maybe crack a smile? TOTAL - 3 stars...it's a long way to Jackson Heights, so bring your overnight bag and maybe your passport

I usually like eating here, but after today's experience never again. The wait staff is usually pretty laid back, but today they were downright nasty. My husband and I walk in with a stroller, and the waitress just stares at us and keeps about her business. So we go to an empty table and sit, and try to accommodate the stroller as much as possible. Then that witch comes over and asks us who sat us there. We told her everyone ignored us, at which points she huffs and mutters under her breadth. She then throws the menus at our table and walks off. Needless to say we got up and walked out, and no one cared. This is not how you run a restaurant. If you want a bad time eating, this is your place. If you want a nice eating experience, go somewhere else. La Boina Roja is in the other block, that's where we wound up going.

As is the case with most Hispanic bakeries, ordering a light coffee means you get a cup of steamed milk with a dash of coffee (Nancy note: a large coffee costs $2.25 here). Allow me to further note that the daily specials cannot be picked up. Seba Seba prefers you show your face when ordering said items.
(3)Adalberto M.
Great little Colombian place for breakfast, but be warned - place gets PACKED!! Trust me, it's worth the wait. Anything on their menu is really, really good. My favs is the arepa de choclo con queso and the avena. The avena is really good!
(4)Fernando M.
Juicy steak, and areas!!! Coffee is excellent would receive 5 stars but the coffee was received in paper cups. Overall great food worth the trip, big portions of food
(4)Fernando R.
If you want authentic Colombian cousine then this place is for you. Try the almojabanas they are delicious.
(5)Yin Y.
Colombian food in Jackson Heights isn't that hard to find. This Seba Seba is pretty good though. I've gone for lunch a bunch of times. The food is what you would expect. Nothing too fancy. The service can be kind of tough if you don't speak Spanish so take a friend along or learn how to order in Spanish first.
(4)Angie A.
While I love their breakfast, its a hit or miss if you do anything besides that. Soups are delicious and their carne encebollado is succulent and flavorful. The assortment of arepas are vast but average tasting to strange tasting. Better off going to Pollos Mario in the neighborhood its never a miss there. The prices are solid and the service is average, atmosphere is a little off it looks like a Colombian cafe with a rough edge but then you're hearing pop music throughout. I dont want to hear Rihanna while I'm eating Colombian food, throws off on the experience a little
(3)Polly H.
I had the huevos revueltos (scrambled eggs on rice). It was not bad. Our waitress was nice enough to provide us with hot sauce and ketchup (for my friend's steak and eggs dish). My friend said that her portion was huge and that she no longer needed to eat lunch. So bear that in mind, when you get more than one item...you might be ordering more than needed. In addition to my breakfast, I ordered a guayabana drink which was pretty good. Upon finishing my beverage, I was memorized over the delicious pastries sitting inside the glass display, but sadly there was no room. I was disappointed that they ran out of my favorite drink: avena caliente(oatmeal drink). I came in with a friend who thought it was drafty in here. I was fine with my jacket on and a meal under $10. Note: they charge you for to-go containers, a quarter for each metal container--unless you can finish in one sitting--why not? It is not too crowded, and the food is decent.
(3)Diner S.
Their empanadas used to be good. This time around, the filling had zero flavor.
(2)Dana B.
Most of the people who eat here are 50 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT. It's cheaply made starchy crap. Knock yourself out.
(2)Mina T.
Huge Portions; friendly staff: delicious desserts = Great experience
(4)AndresSamuel R.
My gauge for Colombian food is breakfast. Breakfast is taken seriously in Colombia. The breakfast at Seba Seba was - as so many Colombian things in this fair city tend to be - disappointing. The eggs, which in traditional Colombian fashion should be scrambled with a flavorful mix of onions and tomatos (we call this "huevos pericos") were overcooked and flavorless. But, the almojábanas and the buñuelos were pretty decent. Then it dawned on me: Seba Seba is a bakery that is trying to offer a full service menu. So, while they're breakfast/lunch plates are lackluster, they manage to offer serviceable almojábanas, pandebonos, buñuelos, milhojas, pasteles de guayaba, mixed in with some other non-Colombian baked goods. If you need a place to stop for a coffee/snack break while shopping on 37th, then Seba Seba is not a bad choice.
(3)Stephanie J.
Good food! I mainly just come here when I want an empanada.
(3)Tina C.
I've travelled to Columbia for the first time without leaving the U.S. for gargantuan portions of tres leches at $3.00 per cake slice with two very good friends and fellow Yelpers (Kiddeft K. and Marlene Q.). After a late lunch/early dinner at La Pequeña, we were full and desired sweets to come across Seba-Seba. Seba-Seba is a fast-pace casual family restaurant and bakery. There is one restroom facility and seating. They serve Mexican specialties as Huevos Rancheros; Fajitas Mixtas, Alambre, Carne Asada Con Nopales along with typical American fast food of hamburgers with French Fries. Oddly, tres leches is not listed on the take-out menu as I've learned from my dearest Marlene Q. that it is a traditional Mexican dessert.
(4)Dana R.
If you want some Colombian food its pretty good quick place to get it. One time I found an Industrial Sized Staple in one of my Empanada's de Carne. It was the 4th one I had eaten that day with no problems but that was kinda scary.. It didnt stop me from going there.. I still eat all the food I can
(3)Clover Y.
I often ask myself, how can I make myself feel sick, miserable, unworthy and empathize with those who have congestive heart failure? What could I do?Where could I eat? What place will encompass all of these things? The answer is at 7928 37th Ave. in Jackson Heights. Seba-Seba. Gross food, mean waitstaff, food that is screaming at you to help it as it drowns in a deep fryer of despair. Keep yourself and your loved ones far away.

This bakery/eatery is located in a up-and-coming neighborhood in Queens. I love this area because you walk a block and you can choose different types of Spanish foods, Indian, Chinese or even my good ol' diner Jahn's. Seba Seba has a great menu selection of meats, meats and more meats. Kidding, they have many other tummy filling items also. I love ordering for breakfast the Spanish omelet. You can opt to get it with meat (sausage, bacon or ham), but either ways you will get a side of home-fries and toast. I'm very picky about my home-fries and this is one of the places you will see me polish my plate of everything. All around you, you will see all others have breakfast with hot choco. Decadent or what! I usually go the OJ route. At a $1 for a decent sized glass of OJ is not bad (not fresh squeezed, but it is Tropicana). If you want bakery stuff, I highly recommend the empanadas and the cheese balls (not really cheesy, mostly dough, but great snack). For dinner, I have ordered the steak with beans, yellow rice and yellow plantains. It came with a side of salad. The steak was a little tough and thin, but hey it's considered a "poor man's steak", but it was packed with flavor. I'm not to thrilled with their version of salchipapas, but it'll do if I'm desperate for some fries and hot dogs. The apple soda is a good compliment to meal or you can opt for a fruit juice/shake of theirs. If you like to go on the edge, try the Mora Shake, which is really Andean Blackberry blended with milk. Service is always friendly from the ladies, to which they always top you off with complementary coffee candies. Once our friendly waitress noticed that we finished the two candies she gave us and she grabbed a handful more for us to go.

I am such a regular here, this place never disappoints me. The food is well cooked, the prices are super affordable, the portions are generous and the waiters are there to please. =) I have had the soups, eggs w/arepa, skirt steak, shrimp, chicken salad, tostones w/avocado all very good. They also have a bakery filled with treats if you want to keep it simple with a cup of coffee. Seba Seba does have other locations as well. In Junction and Roosevelt under the 7 train (not as big) Northern Blvd and 83rd street I believe (even smaller) But this location is by far my favorite. (they have one bathroom and it's always spotless) Come with your family & enjoy. =o)
(5)Marc G.
Thank you Seba-Seba for cleaning your kitchen. I had often stopped by for a snack, but stopped going when I saw their first NYC Sanitary Inspection grade, which was "C." Apparently, they got religion. The new inspection grade is "A." Please folks, keep vigilant. There are actually some customers that really do care about sanitation.
(4)Ravi J.
Feels like a fast-casual family restaurant, straight out of Colombia. Highlight on the menu is the tostones con guacamole and the vast array of arepas. Mexican entrees are also decent, although its strange that one would go to a Colombian restaurant for Mexican food. Agree with earlier points about service being poor/slow, and the decor being too bright and fast-foodish. That said, Seba Seba is the real-deal Jackson Heights experience. Prices are also at good value, and portions are huge.
(3)Camille M.
Seba Seba seems to be popping up everywhere. There's this location, one on Junction and Corona and another on Northern Boulevard. I got the broiled fish and shrimp combo. Not bad, except my second piece of fish wasn't cooked through. No big deal tho, they took it back and set it under the broiler for me and it was good to go. My Mom got the mini country platter. MINI MY BUTT! I was so jealous when her food came. Rice with a fried egg, sausage, chicharon, tostones and a piece of steak. She finished every artery clogging bite and loved it. We also ordered a side of tostones topped with guacamole and more chicharon. Yum. Next time I go, I think I'll try their arepas ... Even though it was good, I'll give it three stars because really, how do you mess up eggs and fried pork skin? Not possible.
(3)David L.
I've had a couple of breakfasts here, and have randomly stopped-in throughout the day over the years for a quick snack... The food is okay, especially the fried stuff, but nothing is very memorable or exceptional -- although for a cheap "nosh' you can't go wrong with their Chicken Empanada (which is very well-seasoned and has a generous portion of tender potatoes and juicy chicken) for a mere $1.25.
(3)Maria W.
One night, I got their chicken empanada, stuffed with chicken strips, potatoes, and onions. It was delicious! The waiter let us sit there for over an hour, while we talked and enjoyed our snack without ordering us out. The cafe was pretty busy; people came and went for the three hours that we were there. Later, we got hungry so we ordered some of their fried plantains with guacamole and pork skin and some cornbread pita with chicken. The fried plantains dish was really good, thanks to the guacamole. The cornbread pita was ok. It was dry and hard to eat. All in all, I would come back for the empanadas and appetizer menu. Their service is good too. :)
(4)Jonah L.
Long live the empanda!! Great sit-down diner-style Colombian food. This is the crown of Jackson Heights. Sit at the counter or at a table. Grab lunch or just a pastry & coffee. Get a bunch of the little empanadas with the flavorful potato, and a larger meat one for variety. Great chicharron (crispy strip of fried pork). Great tostones with guac' on top or with carne molida. Get the fried red snapper. Quality food at great prices. But don't let your dominican girl catch you checking out the lovely colombian ladies, 'cause you'll never hear the end of it on the ride back on the 7 train.
(4)Andy F.
A nice sit down restaurant/bakery. I love their arepas!

A decent place to go for ethnic, Colombian / S. American food. Good sized portions and friendly service.
(4)Jeff O.
Lights are too bright here, I can't relax. I like the night too much to relax in coffee shops like this. I'm tired at noon. Lots of tables for groups or lonesomes. The bakery section looked nice, but it's difficult to notice if you aren't looking for it. They should put all that good stuff up in front. As far as the menu goes, the tostones combinations looked interesting with toppings like ground meat or guacamole. I'm suddenly feeling inspired. Daily specials for 6.95 which include a plate of a salad, rice, plantain, and main dish plus bowl of soup. Nothing skimpy. The salad dressing is just okay and I wouldn't choose it if I had the choice. Staff is warm but infrequent. Quality and character of the plates I've had were just okay. I don't respect the preparation entirely; It's a busy kitchen and I don't think there is much accountability. The product seems simple and accessible to North Americans - neither attributes I look for. Choose your lunch carefully.
(3)PJ G.
Very low key decor, good food at very good prices, I mean you can get a dinner for under $7! But and this is a big but, the service is really, really, really and I mean really slow. Also, I was in there on a cold winter's day and had to keep my coat on so that I could enjoy my meal. Heat please!
(3)Richard B.
Cheese filled croissants, and cheesy bread pastries were very good, but could have been served a little warmer, otherwise, service was spectacularly fast, and decor was above average. Prices were great too. I liked the menu too, it looked informative and had lots of pictures.
(4)Jose P.
Something about a women who shold be on a run way not serving tables, coming over and saying in a sweet voice "what can I get you my love" that I love. Gina is just that gal, never a smile, but that seems tobe cultural & always sweet as can be. This colombian diner has been serving up all kinds of yummy for years, I just love coming here.
(5)Fridda C.
Oh how I would like to keep this spot as my little secret... The prices are great! For 15 bucks 2 people can eat and be stuffed! So, the soups change daily but our favorite is the caldo de costillas or rib soup. If going before breakfast and u are a big man or a girl that just likes to eat like me you must try the Seba Seba # 1 breakfast. It is hevos pericos, carne asada y calentado. Meaning, eggs, think steak, and rice and beans mixed. The skirt steak with shrimp is one of my favorite dishes. And their specials of the day are hit or miss. You never know until you try it. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I don't give it 5 stars because of one or two waiters. And because they changed the brand of coffee or burnt the pot to make it taste differently and the prices have gone up in the past month or so.
(4)Pili B.
Yummy Arepas and Colombian food! I like that it's a break from the traditional plates or rice beans and steak combo. I think the patacones are so good. Prices are fair portions are huge.
(4)Tony C.
Wow I must have gone to the wrong Sebas Sebas or did everyone else go to the wrong place? The one here on 37th Avenue is a Horror. Every time I went to this place no matter what I ordered it was horrible. The only thing I liked about the place was the lighting ... that was just about it, hence the one star. One day I ordered an arepa with cheese and the arepa was all dry and crispy on the edge and the cheese was burnt. Another time I ordered a columbian sandwich and all it had was ham and cheese ... where was the pork and pickle? Yes I went twice because I was giving them the benefit of the doubt ... I thought maybe I was ordering the wrong thing. Nope. The place is a HORROR!
(1)Olivia M.
Columbian cuisine. Noticed a lot of branches sprouting up everywhere around Jackson Hts, Elmhurst area. Didn't realize there was one right next to us in Junction Blvd. Well first time I went there with my friend Savita who is Indian from where else, India. We had the green bananas pounded & fried topped w/ Avocados, very tasty. Camille had Broiled Salmon & Shrimp , fish was not cooked right, we had to give it back to the waiter & cook it more. I had the Mini Bandeja Paisa (MINI it was not) It was actually a big Platter of Rice w/ eggs, Steak, Chorizo, Pork Chicharon andl Plantain. It was good but next time you have to go there really hungry and skip the breakfast.
(3)Amy C.
Seba Seba is my new favorite spanish/latin bakery. The cheese puffs are cheaper and better than Abundancia. Chewier texture (similar to Asian rice cakes). Reminds me of the cheese bread at Calle Ocho in Manhattan. Quite addictive! Try them when they're hot...like hot Krispy Creme donuts... almost forgot to mention the mini-Empanadas! bite-sized yumminess.
(4)G S.
The food here is fresh, simple and very well prepared. I've had the pork skin, sausage and guocamole on corn cakes which was wonderful and some of the beef and shrimp dishes. all were terrific and prepared jsut right.
(5)Arnab M.
This place, though a coffee shop, has unexpectedly good South American (I wanna say Colombian) food. Even my dad liked it, which is something, since only fancy, pricey and pretentious places tend to float his boat usually. I had some fish thing that was so big, I could barely finish have of it. They are known for the bakery, the original is on Northern Boulevard, I believe, but I didn't have a chance to try out their baked stuff, I was too full from eating an entire fish and rice and all that jazz. It was really cheap too, my dad and I probably spent $20 between us.
(4)Sheryl C.
Why is this place ALWAYS busy? Well, I had to go find out and now I know why. I had their tamal for lunch. The food is delicious, fresh and authentic. The portions are huge (or at least for me). Space is a little tight with about 5-10 minute wait on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't think the service was slow. They also had like a juice bar. Only thing is you need cash if you're spending under $10. I ordered then asked about credit cards/cash. The waitress barely spoke any English. So a fellow-customer at the bar where I was sitting informed me about needing cash under $10. I'm not entirely sure about the credit card situation. I didn't happen to have cash, so I had to run out to the ATM after I ordered. Good thing I asked before I ate!
(4)Robertson T.
Staff is very nice, but one day the french fries had hair in it and a week latter the salad had industrial Brillo. There is something wrong with this place and might sound crazy but I think many are angry disfranchise immigrants taking it out on the food. The world is sinking in every aspect of life: fashion, food, morals, education. We live in a world where every incident is the worst in history etc you get the point. Cook at home save money, lose weight, spend quality time with family.
(1)Adrienne D.
the cafe con leche is nice. but that is it. i had them deliver, my food ended up cold and over an hour late. it was yucky.
(1)meimei M.
I only tried their pandebono and almohbanas (cheese bread, the former one is the one with a hole shaped like a donut, and the latter one is just a round one) at their bakery section. I was happy that they both were very fresh with right kind of cheesy flavor without some bad aftertaste like some other cheese rolls you can have. The interior was bright and clean (probably new?), and it is nice that they have a little seating section for eating solo right next to the bakery section - it is convenient when you want to grab a bite and sip coffee on the other hand and take off as soon as you're done. The place looks packed always and I haven't tried their actual meals yet, but I will definitely come back again for trying them. The display of the bakery goods looked very clean and sanitary, too, and one more note - their coffee was pretty good. I just had a cup of coffee with milk only, but I was pretty happy with it. I have been having a hard time finding a good coffee joint in Jackson Heights (and why not... aren't the coffee beans originally from South America?!), and this was a good surprise to me.
