Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Diners rave about the Mojito Special; it's refreshing and perfectly balanced, ideal for washing down a hearty meal.

Popular dishes like Ropa Vieja and the Chicken Sandwich showcase the authenticity and depth of flavors distinct to Cuban cuisine.

The Flan de Tres Leche dessert receives high praise for its rich and creamy texture, leaving a delightful aftertaste.

Those with dietary restrictions will appreciate the selection of vegan and vegetarian options that do not compromise flavor.

The atmosphere of Cafe Cuba is frequently described as cozy and inviting, making it a neighborhood favorite.

Most Disliked

Some patrons mention that the prices can feel slightly high given the casual setting, but many argue that the quality justifies the expense.

The cash-only policy has caused inconveniences at times, leading guests to scramble for nearby ATMs before indulging in their meals.

The outdoor seating may not provide the comfort everyone desires, especially during chillier weather, which may deter some diners.

Occasionally busy evenings can lead to longer wait times for service, but this often comes with the bustling atmosphere that many enjoy.

Not every dish resonates with every guest, so exploring the menu first may be beneficial for those with culinary preferences.

Well that was a lovely turn up on the culinary delights. Popped in just before closing time, as we were all starving and didn’t expect to be allowed to sit down or to be served great quality food. All served with 2 free rounds of rum shots. The mojitos were delicious and not too sweet. The place isn’t a dressy place, but the team creates an authentic atmosphere and dishes up lovely food with great service. I will definitely be back to sample more delights.

Cool spot! Love the decor - a touch expensive but to be fair the portion was massive, the chicken fell off the bone Service was good although is cash only, free shot of rum at the end Caribbean lemonade was basically a mojito without alcohol and very nice

We both had a sandwich for lunch, one chicken and one pork. Both were absolutely amazing! Best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. We will definitely be returning to try the other dishes on their menu. Lovely service and friendly staff

Brought my wife here for her birthday. The outside of the cafe, and the inside to some extent, looks like it's a greasy spoon cafe. But the food is anything but! I had the Sandwich del Pollo. This is the tastiest chicken sandwich I've ever had. Absolutely lovely. My wife ordered the Calamares Fritos. They were tender and beautifully cooked. Served with fried plantain and a salad, they were almost too much for her to eat! We also had a Tamal de Maiz for starter. This was also lovely. We finished with a dessert of Flan de Tres Leche. Stunning! Everything in the cafe seems to be cooked from scratch, and tastes amazing. I heartily recommend the Cafe Cubano!

I had such a lovely time at this Cuban restaurant. I went for the vegan ropa vieja and it completely blew me away. The flavors were rich, comforting, and full of that slow-cooked taste you hope for - it was honestly one of the best vegan dishes I’ve had in a while. You can tell they put a lot of care into it. The staff were so kind and welcoming - muy amables y atentos. They made me feel really comfortable from the moment I walked in. The place itself has a cozy, relaxed vibe, with music and little touches that made it feel like a warm piece of Cuba. ¡Mil gracias! I’ll definitely be coming back soon - me encantó todo. Highly recommended for anyone who loves delicious food and kind people.

Super friendly little place - definitely recommend booking as it’s very small and seems pretty popular, they had to turn away a few walk ins when we were there on a Saturday night. While vegan section on their menu, mojitos are delish and you get shots with the bill!
