Pastelería Cohen wins on output, not atmosphere. The cakes come in generous slices, the cookies travel home in suitcases, the truffles stay in memory, and the empanadas rank among Punta Arenas' best - all at prices that don't punish your wallet. The space is small, warm, and built for long conversation. One caveat worth knowing: service consistency drops during busy hours, when the pace slows noticeably. It's not a fluke. Go off-peak if patience isn't your strength. Otherwise, the food rarely disappoints.
