So as I do, I'm going to give you the straight-up view on this place. Let's start here. This is not Cuban food. Not even close. The owner was sitting there while we were there, and to be clear, she's Colombian, not Cuban. That matters when you're claiming a Cuban spot, especially in South Florida where people actually know the difference. Now the coffee. I ordered a colada and it came out ridiculously sweet. I'm talking over-the-top, almost undrinkable. We had to reorder it with less sugar, and they didn't even offer to replace the first one. That alone tells you a lot about how they handle things. Then the Cuban sandwich. They put mustard and mayonnaise on it. Let me say that again. Mayonnaise. On a Cuban sandwich. That is straight-up wrong. As a Miami native, I'm telling you, that's an abomination. If you grew up around real Cuban food, you already know that doesn't fly. And if you're defending it... I don't know what to tell you. Lol. Look, I'm not trying to be harsh for the sake of it. But when you call yourself Cuban in a place like South Florida, there's a standard. This place doesn't meet it. Unless you've got nothing better to do, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for "Cuban" food. read more

Cuban Cafe was everything I hoped it would be and more. The café con leche was exactly what I needed to feel fully immersed in the Cuban culture I grew up in. It was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, bringing instant comfort with every sip. The beef empanada was absolutely delicious. Each bite was packed with flavor, seasoned just right, and wrapped in a perfectly crisp pastry. It truly felt like being back in my grandma's kitchen on a Saturday morning, surrounded by warmth, love, and incredible food. If you are looking for authentic flavors and a genuine cultural experience, Cuban Cafe delivers beautifully. read more

Amazing!!!! Service & food were fantastic. The Cafe con leche was to die for. Small, local, yummy. Don't miss it. Juan was a joy.

I came with my son to grab breakfast and cafe con leche on the way to the park. This place was so welcoming the staff was amazing. They paid attention to my son as I was paying to takeout. I love all the frames decor on the wall it's family oriented. I had the steak eggs and potatoes my son and I devoured it. Fresh and hot. The meal stayed hot even at the park and the coffee was made PERFECTLY. I will definitely come here and become a usual read more

Best hole in the wall Cuban cafe!! In Broward HANDS DOWN!! best cuban sandwich and coffee. This is a typical "dinner" setting you order get your breakfast, lunch, to-go order and eat! Service is fast and consistent. If you order a "colada" they give you a to-go cup with others to share (cuban coffee is STRONG) they also have "cortadito" coffee mixed with milk (regular) no substitutes. Overall great spot! Thank you guys!!!! read more

Was a little hard to find, food was ok, but I definitely don't think it's a legit Cuban spot in south Florida. I didn't hear one Cuban accent from any of the employees lol, and that just usually doesn't happen in South Fl. When you grown up in a Cuban family and visit them in Miami throughout your life, you just know these things. Overall it was ok. Maybe if I was in the area and needed something quick, I'd go back. It's not really a sit down and stay kind of place, definitely more of a grab and go. read more

Pork sandwich was season well with grilled onions... The skirt steak was okay I personally don't like that cut of a steak, so I can't give a review on it. I can say it was seasoned well. The salad was given with no dressing; The place is nice and very clean, the staff were nice. Very cozy spot in pompano: . Dell style set up. I saw an orange juice machine and it squeezed fresh juices looked delicious and fresh. Try it out. I think you will be pleased.. read more

It seems like it's difficult to find a great place for Cuban coffee in the Ft. Lauderdale area so I'm happy to have found Cuban Cafe. They serve delicious coffee, pastries, breakfast and sandwiches. There are couple of things to know: parking kind of sucks and there's not a lot of room inside but it's still worth it. The cafe con leche is HOT and sweetened just right. The jugo de mango con leche is my favorite drink and Cuban Cafe makes it perfectly. I ordered the Breakfast Special which is served with 2 eggs, bacon or ham, cuban toast, homestyle potatoes, and a Cuban coffee. This reminded me of a home-cooked meal. The homestyle potatoes had so much flavor and the Cuban toast was just what I needed to soak up the yolk from the eggs. Cuban Cafe is a bit of a drive but I know I'll leave satisfied. read more

Very nice restaurant, waitresses were polite and friendly. The food was without a doubt very tasty and worth its price.

This place gets packed!! Make sure you go during off peak hours if possible. We circled a few times before we were able to get a parking spot. Now onto the food. Delicious!!! I had the media noche sandwich which is basically a Cubano on a sweeter roll. Mmmm. Totally my new sandwich. My sister had the oxtail which I had the pleasure of trying. Loved it as well! It meat was fall off the bone and thr flavors were on point.Chris? Coffee - oh man, truly authentic and strong! Loved the cortidito. Slightly sweet, not much milk, and gives you a kick. I will surely be back when I visit my family again read more

Drove quite a bit out of my way thinking this was a true good Cuban Cafe because I really wanted a media Noche. how disappointing when we get home and find that it's about 99% ham and maybe 1% roast pork. I won't be going back. a $9 sandwich should be a proper sandwich not a rip off. read more

Cuban Cafe - This is a pitiful excuse for a media Noche - Cuban Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

The price is nice but the food is so bland. I ordered a grilled chicken & it I might as well ordered a boiled chicken. The food had very minimal flavor and the beans I paid extra for were watery as if they just dumped it out of a can. read more

Small old school Cuban Cafe. The Coffee is amazing of course, the chicken soup is awesome, fresh and tasty! I had a Cuban and a pork sandwich so far I am very happy this place is near my job. They are quick and get me in and out on my lunch break. I will be back often! FYI Masks, social distancing and safety all in effect. read more

We came to Cuban Café because we were in the mood for Cuban sandwiches and it was the closest Cuban restaurant from where we were. They have four star reviews so we thought that it is a great place to try. The café is located in Powerline in the industrial/ warehouses district, so this place has absolutely no frills to it. It is a tiny little hole on the wall, when you think about what a hole on the wall really means this is something that will come to mind. They don't have any tables you sit at the counter and they have a bar with stools across the way, where a couple of more people can fit. They have a fool food menu however which is good they prepare everything from scratch in the morning and whenever he finds out he ransacked I wanted to try their soup but by the time we got there he was already gone, as well as the special of the day which was some sort of oxtail dish. We had Cuban sandwiches with tostones and fried yuca. Everything was very tasty my Cuban sandwich was on point. This is a very hard 4 stars for me. It is more like three and a half, but I decided to round up because the food was great and the service and conversation was also great. It's like you are at the barrio talking to everybody even though you may not know them. It's like that famous place that you want to go where everybody knows your name! everyone leaves their worries out the door and become very friendly when they come in which I love. I do have to mention that the place is grimy. I saw all the servers washing dishes and wiping down counters and so on, but the overall place needs a good scrubbing from top to bottom. It feels greasy I know that it's an old place and it is a hole on the wall, but I feel that it could be cleaner. That is my only complaint. Otherwise this is a wonderful place that should be given a fair chance as any small local business should. read more

The empanadas were very good. I tried both of them. And the guava pastry was amazing. I see why they stay busy. It's all freshly cooked

I was driving around looking for quick breakfast and came across this Cuban cafe. So I decided to give it a try. I ordered the desayuno especial. With comes with coffee. The waitress were all quick to help us. Very friend. Bilingual speaking so that was a plus. Food came out so fast and smell so good! Got my food and tried it! Yes!! This is my new breakfast spot!!!! read more

If I've ever hit a place on Yelp that I would consider highly over rated, it's this place. It's nothing but a hole in wall of Cuban, mostly takeout food joint located next to a tile shop that does their tile and stone cuttings in the parking lot which assures your car of being completely dust covered by the time you've finished eating. The parking lot is also nightmarishly small, cramped, and with most of the patrons driving pickup trucks who really don't seem to care about denting your car with their truck doors or adding to the multitude of dents they already have in their work vehicles. As for the inside ambiance, divey at best. The dinning is counter only with no table seating. The food however is very authentic Cuban, but just because it is authentic doesn't mean that it is good. Cuba itself has bad food and some not so good restaurants, and if this place were in Cuba, its authentic Cuban food would definitely fall within the not being very good category; low end bottom of the rung of Cuban cuisine. I've tasted a few of their selections here such as their oxtail and their black beans. The best I can say about those, is that I've had better; much better. On this occasion, however, I went for their Cuban sandwich, figuring that would be pretty good but as far as Cuban sandwiches go, it wasn't. The bread was fine, perfect Cuban and nicely pressed but whatever they used for ingredients, particularly the cheese, rendered it into being the blandest tasteless and least flavorful Cuban I've ever had. With the food being nothing but subpar authentic low end Cuban, the horrid parking and the counter only seating I can at best only go One Star as Two Stars would simply be too much of a stretch. read more

Anything you get is a winner. Order a breakfast special and enjoy the best Cuban cafe con leche, pan tostado, eggs and breakfast potatoes smothered in onions. Also!!!

Awesome small cafe, a hidden gem. We were traveling through and wanted a break. The Empanadas were delicious. Typical breakfast fare but well done and the service was on point. read more

I ordered yellow rice, black beans, Tostones, and boiled yuca. The only thing edible was the rice and beans. The Yucca had no seasoning whatsoever, no onions literally boiled in water taken out of the water and put on the plate. read more

Amazing!! Everytime I fly in to visit my mom in Florida I want really great Cuban food without having to go to Miami and this place is legit! Cafe con Leche is perfection! The breakfast specials are amazingly priced. There really isn't anything you can say bad. Cute quaint space yet sufficient space to sit if you choose. It's bar seating style which makes sense for a cafe setting. Everyone is kind and says good morning and thank you as you're leaving. I love that they greet you in English and Spanish. You're coming to a Spanish cafe, you better be understanding if they speak to you in Spanish I wish I could come here every Sunday but I live in New Jersey lol. Thanks again! read more

Cuban Cafe - Breakfast special with cafe con leche - Cuban Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Our company employees have been buying food from here since 2011 and never any problem until yesterday. Their delivery guy dropped off extra food and drinks around 9am. Around 2pm, he called saying I gave you an extra sandwich and two drinks and I'm coming to get the $17 for it. EXCUSE ME? The employee that placed the order told him that the food is still sitting here and he is more than welcome to come pick it up but no one ever shows up. This morning the guy calls again about the food and we told him that the food is still sitting out here for him to come pick up. So the guy just shows up here and gets aggressive with two other employees because he felt disrespected that the old food was left outside on the floor by the front door and then demands that someone pay him for a juice that spilled and was discarded. He realized he wasn't getting anything from us so he exits our building and threw the drink and food at our office door and leaves. Are you serious? All this chaos over less than $5 cost of food and packaging material? Juan, your guy wasted more time and money driving back over here and almost had the police called on him. This is how he represented your business. read more

Horrible ! We waited for over ten mins and nobody acknowledged us , they just kept looking and ignored us. We just got up and walked out.

Small place with awesome food. Breakfast was made to perfection. Those sliced onions on top of the bacon was a nice touch. So good. Everyone is so friendly. The cortaditos and coffee were perfect. A kick in our butts!! Good morning from Florida, the sunshine state. We will come back often. If you need to watch your sugar make sure to ask without it when you order your coffee. We are stuffed and our tummies so happy read more

Hands down the best Cuban food I've found in the two years of living in south Florida

This place is the definition of "hole in the wall" restaraunt. I used to come here for lunch very often, and just went back after about 3 years. The quality of the food has not changed from excellent, but perhaps has improved even more. The same staff is still there, who are always very friendly and polite. This place knows to get busy, even though it's tight inside everyone appreciates the quality of their food. From the sandwiches, empanadas, croquetas and everything else I've tried on their menu -- they cook with a really authentic Cuban flare. I think the best Empanada I've had in SoFlo was from this place. It's great, stop by if you're looking for a good Cuban dish. I will be coming back here again, very soon. read more

Cuban Cafe - Inside, nice wall decoration - Cuban Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Have been coming to the Cuban Cafe for years. This is the one stop shop if you want good Cuban novelties like a midnight sandwich, empanadas, guava pastries, and many other items. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. This is not a restaurant setting but rather a countertop with a few bar stools. It is definitely a place to checkout. Place is generally busy during lunch so call in your order if it's for takeout. read more

I hate to give three ^ reviews to places like this because I love to support small local businesses. However last a Thursday I stopped by around 9 am to grab some Cafesito and Empanadas for me and my coworkers. My order was simple two empanadas of Pollo, two Empanadas of Chicken, 4 croquetas and 2 cafesitos. Well it took me 30 min before I got my orden, I understand and I always love it when my meal is fresh, but 30 min specially in the morning when I am on my way to work is a bit much. The food was good, the service was good and people was friendly, but they definitely need to work on their speed. I probably will continue attending to this place to grab cafesito, but probably not if I need a quick stop. read more
