There’s a new spot in town where the scent of freshly baked cinnamon rolls drifts through the air, where golden pancakes stack high, and where thick, chewy American-style cookies bring a nostalgic taste of home. Welcome to Delitaria, Asunción’s newest American-style bakery and café, a passion project brought to life by two food lovers who wanted to create a space where every bite tells a story.
A Journey Of Passion And Dedication

Susana and Marcos’s entrepreneurial journey began in New York, where Susana honed her skills as a chef while Marcos worked in the construction industry. During the pandemic, they launched a catering service, delivering traditional Paraguayan dishes to the Paraguayan community in New York. Their business quickly flourished, even supplying meals to the Paraguayan consulate.
After spending eleven years in the U.S., the couple decided to return to Paraguay, bringing everything they could in a container. Within a year, they transformed their dream into reality by opening Delitaria. By August 2024, their cozy café was ready to welcome its first customers.
Delitaria offers a unique blend of American-inspired pastries and beloved Paraguayan dishes. Fluffy pancakes and gooey cinnamon rolls sit alongside comforting lunchtime favourites like borí-borí and sopa de poroto, creating a menu that beautifully merges international flavours with local traditions.
Delitaria’s Unique Concept
The name Delitaria was born from a brainstorming session between Susana and Marcos. “Deli” represents their commitment to high-quality, handcrafted food, while “Taria” symbolizes the place where their culinary dreams come to life. Their vision quickly gained traction, and securing the trademark was a seamless process.
Word spread fast, and soon, Americans visiting the café confirmed the authenticity of its flavours. Delitaria quickly became a go-to spot for both locals and foreigners, attracting visitors from the U.S. and Europe who craved the comforting tastes of home.
A Dream Baked To Perfection
The couple dream was to create a space where people could gather, connect, and indulge in the simple pleasures of delicious, high-quality food. “We wanted to create a place that feels like home, no matter where you’re from,” Susana says, reflecting on their shared vision.
Inspired by classic American bakeries and delis, the duo put their hearts and energy into making this dream a reality, selecting the best ingredients to ensure every dish served was of the highest quality.
American-Style Dishes Done Right
While Delitaria is undoubtedly famous for its sweet treats, it’s the balance of both sweet and savoury options that truly sets it apart. Their breakfast, brunch and lunch menu is as diverse as it is delicious, offering everything from classic American-style pancakes and eggs to savoury sandwiches that hit all the right notes.
Though Delitaria is famous for its sweets, its savoury options are just as enticing. Their signature BEC sandwich (bacon, eggs and cheese) offers the perfect balance of savoury, while, the classic BLT is a nostalgic favourite, featuring crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes on perfectly toasted bread.
Of course, the real stars of the show are Delitaria’s homemade desserts. Their cinnamon rolls are gooey and buttery perfection, their American-style cookies strike the ideal balance between crisp and chewy, and their cheesecake brownies are a rich, chocolatey indulgence that melts in your mouth.
“We pour our hearts into every recipe,” says Susana. “There’s something magical about watching someone take that first bite and seeing their face light up.”
From fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple syrup to nostalgic chocolate chip cookies, Delitaria delivers happiness in every bite.
Food connection with the United States does not stop here, as it flourishing in Paraguay. Recently, American Chef Dave Soady opened a recent here in Asunción.
