    Cute little cuban cafe in downtown Calhoun, GA. Service and food were top notch. We also got guava cream cheese empanadas to go

    Cuban Coffee

    I'm so glad Calhoun has a Cuban restaurant--it adds wonderful diversity to the town! The location is perfect, right downtown with plenty of parking. The interior decorations are cute and vibrant, and the staff are always friendly. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. Everything I've tried so far has been amazing, especially the Cuban sandwiches! The Cuban coffee is a delightful treat as well. I love supporting local places like this!

They don't have a waitlist though so you just kinda gotta wait and it's first come first serve. We sat at the bar and just snatched a table when we saw someone leave. If you come here you should DEFINITELY get a mojito! They're HUGE and delicious and STRONG. My friends (who don't drink alcohol much) had a couple sips and were gone we had to walk around the square after to sober up! I got the ropa vieja and thought it was delicious! The beef was super flavorful and tender. I was a bit disappointed that they only gave two tiny plantain slices cause it was good and I wanted more. The rice and beans were pretty average, the beans were extremely plain, definitely could've been better. I would definitely come back to try a Cubano though since that's what they're known for and my friend who got one almost melted when she took a bite cause it was so delicious (I took a bite too and it really was very good!). Definitely recommend this place! I will say the service is a bit slow because it was packed but servers were very nice!

I got the Cuban with onion, tomato, and lettuce and I wouldn't get that again just get the good ole basic sandwich. I also really enjoyed the empanada. It was flavorful filling.

As a South Florida native who is obsessed with Cuban food, I had read the reviews beforehand and was really hoping they would live up to the hype and thankfully, they absolutely did. Walking into this place felt like a little piece of home while on vacation. The fresh pastelitos, tostadas, house-made rum cake, and a cafecito were exactly what I didn't know I needed that day. Everything is made in-house, and you can taste the care and authenticity in every bite. Finding such great Cuban food in another state truly felt like the cherry on top of the trip. Aesthetically, the space is full of Cuban pride. The walls share the story of how the Rum Cake Lady came to exist, and it's genuinely beautiful to read about the journey behind the business while you're there enjoying the food. What stood out to me the most was how busy the place was long lines and lots of traction yet the staff remained friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout it all. That kind of hospitality makes a big impression. Thankfully, after a quick search, I discovered there's another Rum Cake Lady Cuban Café location not too far from the cabin we were staying at in Blue Ridge. Of course, we had to go back this time for dinner ordering the classic media noche! If you're visiting the area and craving something authentic and full of flavor, this place is a must. I'm really hoping they continue to expand, because what they've created is truly special.

    I loved it here! The staff there are so sweet and welcoming. Our food came fast and was so fresh!…read moreWe had Croquettes as an appetizer and they were so flavorful and delicious!!
