I took my fiancé here while we were in town for the weekend and it is amazingly delicious! We live in St. Augustine and there are not many choices like this where we live. Having moved from south Florida, we miss delicious little places like this. The chicken croquetas and guava cheese pastries had me drooling for more! read more

Fantastic ! The plantians were delicious. I got the Picadillo is taste home made, I love it . I will definitely come again . The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

Had to meet a client in NPR and drove by this place so decided to give the Cuban sandwich a try. I ordered the Tampa and regular Cuban sandwich. Both sandwiches looked great and the bread was fresh and toasted just right but the flavor was not there. It's hard to find an authentic tasting Cuban sandwich but this place is a decent consolation prize. read more

Nice place for break - Cuban coffee and pressed sandwiches. Off the path and perfect for quick stop

I went for breakfast and I won't be back because the trip isn't worth it for me. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on Cuban toast. That was good. However the café con leche was a major let down. It tasted like watered down coffee to me. Also can't say service was with a smile. read more

Phenomenal food! Truly classic recipes!! A+++... well worth it!! Pork, plantains, rice + beans... perfection!! The empanadas are fantastic!!

Great cafe con leche. We had the Miami style Cubans (no salami) and they are huge. I'd recommend splitting one. The pork on the sandwich was the real star. Great quality and lots of it. Solid rice & beans. The plantains were ok but I like mine more caramelized/minor gripe though. Nice option if you're looking for a Cuban sandwich in Trinity & it looks like they have a great selection of breakfast items too. read more

I order from here on Uber East almost 4 times a week. The breakfast Cuban is the best I've tasted in Tampa, along with the stuffed potato. The cafe con leche make sure to order "sweet" as it's called on uber eats. Very authentic delicious cafe con leche. Being a Cuban myself my family also can't believe how delicious it is read more

The food was incredible for a really great price. The pork is rich and well seasoned. The bread was so crispy and buttery. The rice and beans were perfect. The service was great and the inside of the restaurant is a cute authentic design. Feels very homey. The patio is wonderful on a sunny afternoon. Some of the best Cuban food I've had. read more

I was so pumped to try this place based on the reviews, but I've had my share of café con leche and Cuban sandwiches and this was not so exceptional. Prices were very fair for the huge portions with pleasant service at the counter. The Miami sandwich was delicious - it's hard to go wrong with fresh bread, cheese and pork and this place had the right proportions of each. I would recommend anyone looking for Cuban food, or simply an affordable non-chain restaurant, around Trinity to head here. I was very satisfied with half a sandwich for lunch and we enjoyed sharing at a table on the sidewalk outside. The coffee was a very different story. Maybe I was here on an off day? I took no joy in drinking the café con leche, the coffee's bitterness was diluted by what tasted like thin skim milk. I finished just barely enough to satisfy my caffeine craving, tossed the rest, and needed a mint afterwards to cleanse the over-roasted garbage flavor from my palate. It was hard to rate this place 4 stars after such a bad coffee experience (comparable to gas station coffee) but the sandwiches are probably the best in this area. read more

Good bread, great ambiance. Fantastic place to sit outside. Very unique. Not sure why anybody would use that much sage in pork roast for a Cuban sandwich?? Also, not sure what the extrq spice is in the black beans, but very overpowering and not the usual for traditional Cuban food. Kind of disappointed I drove all the way up to Trinity for Tampa food... read more

Hidden gem! They have great Sandwiches at this place! Classic Cuban and sloppy Cuban are both delicious. The empanadas are also amazing. They serve breakfast and looking forward to giving that a try next. Another bonus, they serve Joffreys coffee here. read more

A great little place in a small cute area to walk or bike around in! There is parking right out front or in the back area, I went during the day for lunch on a Saturday and there were plenty of spaces open. I was pleasantly surprised with the vegetarian options. Coming from Miami, I missed my Cuban food so this place definitely fills a void in my heart :) The rice and beans were delicious as well as the coffee and a vegetarian pressed sandwich that I had. I will definitely be back for tostada and café con Leche! read more

Camer for the Cuban sandwich in the black beans and rice. Was not disappointed! Outstanding rice and beans and wonderfully crisp and flavorful Cuban sandwich. Came all the way from Largo. We'll be back! read more

Absolutely delicious Cuban sandwich! Pork was the best, most tender I have ever had at a restaurant. I have had many Cuban sandwiches in my life, and Havana Dreamers is at the top of my list. It is also fairly cheap and unassuming place in Longleaf! read more

Our office ordered food from here Monday. 2 Roast Pork Meals 1 Miami Cuban Rice and beans Stuffed potato Plantains Cuban Bread The food was DELICIOUS and the service was good from the counter. They also cooked my plaintains VERY well done, just like I asked. Will definitely be back. read more

I got a guava and cheese pastry which was phenomenal and I also got a vanilla iced coffee which was super good and my sister got a caramel iced coffee and that was yummy too! Totally worth the trip. Really cute and overall nice atmosphere! read more

The Miami Cuban was perfect ! Cute little place with friendly and welcoming service . Would come back to try more !

My work friend and I typically visit this Cafe during our lunch at least twice a week. After trying a few menu items, we have found our 'regular' order. This Cafe makes one of the best Miami Cubans I've ever had. They have a special blend of mayo, mustard and spices that mixes well with the roast pork. Those tastes blend nicely with the slightly buttered and wonderfully crispy pressed bread. My friend normally gets the pork meal. It consists of rice, black beans, roast pork and some buttered Cuban bread. Very healthy portions for under $6. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere feels like an authentic Cafe, filled with good aromas and chatting friends. Highly recommended. Check in around Noon and you might see us there! read more

Hands down the best Cuban Sandwich in Tampa Bay period!! Deviled Crabs are amazing too can not rave about this place enough. A must try if ever in Trinity Fl. area. read more

It's good, but not great. Probably the best in the Trinity/Odessa are for sure. They offer two types of Cuban sandwiches; a Tampa version and a Miami version. Their variation of the Cuban sandwich is of the mojo sort. (For a list of how I separate the types, see my list here: http://www.yelp.com/list/the-cuban-sandwich-tampa ) I don't have an overall problem with the mojo pork variation, so long as the mojo isn't overwhelming. The mojo marinade should ADD TO the natural flavor of the pork, not BE THE FLAVOR of the pork. Here at Havana Dreamers, the pork is quite literally DOUSED in mojo, leaving it to taste very tangy and citrusy. The actual taste of the meat is a distant memory that faded away the minute 17 gallons of liquid mojo marinade was poured all over it. I think if they cut back on the mojo a bit, they'd have a much better tasting sammich. My second problem with their Cuban was how skimpy they go on ham and salami. One single folded slice of each. My third and final gripe is the cheese. A Cuban sandwich should be made with a punch-you-in-your-freaking-face-sharp Swiss cheese. The menu states they use Swiss cheese, but if this was Swiss, it was the worst I'd ever had. It tasted more like bland ass White American cheese to me. My junior high school used to make Cubans with White American cheese. I hated it when I was 10, and I still hate it today. Major let down. There are some pros to Havana Dreamers tho. The place is adorable, and the staff is super friendly. The rice and blacks are delicious, and they make their sandwiches on Casino Bakery Cuban bread, which is my favorite. Lastly, the prices are extremely affordable. Some Cuban eateries try to jack up the price like they're selling diamonds. This is inexpensive food to make, and the prices should always reflect that. I think with a few simple tweaks to their Cuban sandwich, they could potentially boast the one of best outside of Hillsborough County. Until then, I will stick to the 813 for ordering my Cubans.

Great local place .... they have a small but delicious menu Great Cuban coffee ! There breakfast Cuban sandwich is very yummy as well. Also very convenient for the Longleaf neighborhood. .

The BEST Cuban sandwich around. You will not be disappointed! We love grabbing food and eating outside it's such a nice relaxing spot.

Stopped here once, I love the location however the coffee was meh and the muffin was terrible. Also dark and dated inside.

You gotta leave tampa for the best Cuban sanwich. This cute place is tucked inside a neighborhood strip of local restaurants. I had the Cuban and and iced tea $5.95 for a large Cuban roast pork was tender and juicy and bread is soft and thick but with the perfect meat to bread ratio. Was pressed perfectly (one of my pet peeves about most Cubans is bread is hot ingredients inside arnt) they use real butter for a perfect crisp cruch and a mayo mustard blend with just the right zip. Definitely be back soon. read more

Havana Dreamers Cafe - Best food in Trinity, CLEARWATER! - Cuban Near Me - Trinity, Florida

First off the friendliest staff ever. Best Mojito and amazing Cuban food. Top notch bartenders with great knowledge of cigars and Rum. Can't wait to get back to Miami and just sit at the bar sipping cocktail listen to Latin music and float off to another world. read more

This is the spot for coffee and Cubans in Pasco! A great little gem hidden away in Trinity. Every time I have been in I am greater with a smile and friendly service. Everyone seems to enjoy working there. Nice sitting area outside and inside has newspapers to read while you're sipping your cafe con leche. Cubans are hands down the best I have ever had. The bakery items they have in the warmer are perfect if you don't have time to wait for a sandwich. read more

Really great tasting Cuban sandwiches and coffees!!! Pretty much the only Cuban food in the area, so I'm happy they're good. Unfortunately this place doesn't have authentic Cuban prices, so it won't be a cheap one, but at least it tastes good and is good quality. Not a lot of items on the menu but everything is good. read more

Quaint, reasonably priced, fresh and tasty. Love sitting outside with my pups enjoying a bite and a cuppa

Well I have stopped here before and it was good. Great bike ride stop. Ordered a Cuban and a drink and sat inside. It was not busy until after I got there and ordered. After 30 minutes I ask a girl if they forgot about me she said no they were making it. At 45 minutes I asked again and there was confusion on what I ordered. So I packed up and just said I was not going to wait any longer. I did not ask for my money back. What I saw there was maybe new management? Young adults working there on their phones taking pictures and talking to someone the entire time that was behind a open door cooking. It's so important for small restaurant like this to be more engaged with customers and service to stay in business. Is the only reason to write this. I did not get upset just quietly told her I was not waiting any longer. Don't think she ever checked in my order the 2 times I asked. I will try it again sometime and ask for my free Cuban if the are still in business. read more

Breakfast Food was good, but did not blow us away. Staff was friendly. Nice coffee selections. Lunch food looked better, so may try that next time. read more
