El café con leche es muy delicioso, el desayuno está hecho con calidad. Nos encantó el servicio al cliente, todo está delicioso

This place is legit. I came here around noon on a Thursday. They have a walk up order window that has a few chairs for while you're waiting or if you want to eat outside. Inside has 2 chairs as well. I ordered the famous Cuban, a Cafe con Leche sweetened, and a pastel de coconut. Prices were very reasonable, and the sandwich was huge. It took a little bit to get the food because they make the sandwiches to order and it was a bit busy, but definitely worth the wait, and the people working were super friendly. The sandwich had the perfect amount of everything and it all played together beautifully. The coffee was strong and had good flavor and wasn't too overly sweet when they sweetened it. This will definitely be on my list to return if I'm in the area again.

Ok this hole in the wall place is far from Posh. It sits on the side of a gas station and my husband was skeptical but I wanted authentic Cuban Empanadas, and that's what I got! The chicken had a hint of lime which I wasn't expecting. I especially liked the beef empanadas and the cheese rolls. I was so happy to find empanadas on a Monday. Most places in the area close on Mondays which is how I stumbled upon this gem.

I am really growing to love dining at gas stations. Key West Cuban Cafe is located in a Citgo. It is the kind of place that is a locals favorite. It kept popping up on my Yelp feed so I stopped by for lunch when I was in the area today. They are building a new residential complex next door so there is a lot of construction. The cafe has a front window so you don't have to go into the gas station unless you want to pay with a card or grab a drink. You can pay cash at the window. I picked the Monte Cristo made with thick slices of ham and grilled cheese ($8). It was a giant grilled sandwich that came with pickles and chips. I could only finish half. I also wanted a guava pastel which Eric added for free. While I waited for my food he brewed me up a cup of Cuban coffee and then even gave me one to go for later. The food is awesome but the real gem in this place is the owner Eric. He instantly makes you feel like you are hanging out with a long time friend. While I was waiting for my food a mom walked up with her little daughter who was also gifted with free pastry. She said she was Cuban and found her way here through word of mouth from other Cuban friends. That is a high recommendation but you don't have to be Latin to love it here. Anyone who appreciates great food will feel right at home.

Located in the Citgo Gas Station , this is one of those unassuming spots , popular hole in the wall where I had to check it out. Being lactose intolerant yet craving for a good Cuban coffee they were so accommodating when I asked if there was a possibility I can substitute the 'milk' for a non dairy option. My heart was won over! Spent $30 buying a lil bit of everything!

This place is a trip! And Eric -- the owner(?), chef, cook, waiter -- one man band staff was tripping! The sound of Latin dance music was playing as regulars and tourists stood at the window to order and get their food and chat with Eric. Eric has a funny offbeat sense of humor. Trust Marqus to find this place. I know if I'm looking for an unusual venue with food, I can use his reviews as a guide. So, this place is located in the Citgo station on the corner of 6th street and US 1 in Pompano. You can park in a corner of the station and walk over to the window or park by the post office alley and walk from there. It's strictly a "to go" spot. Eric has his regulars -- those that come for Cuban coffees... and caffe con leches. He knows who takes it black and how much milk they want, etc. As I was waiting for my order, he also gave mini coffees to all of us. I had to give mine to the guy I was standing next to... as I knew it would be too strong for me. But everyone around me was saying how good it was. In addition to sandwiches, there are Cuban pastries (I saw the guava ones), empanadas and croquettes. They also list a few complete meals on the paper menu pasted to the window. Prices are very reasonable on all items. Eric sliced the ham and pork freshly in front of me. Heated both up. Piled on the pickles and mustard and meats and then press grilled the bread. Along side in the take out container, he placed a few more pickle chips and potato sticks. And he cut it in half diagonally as traditionally they are.... To pay, I put cash in the little glass jar out front and he gave me change. I have no idea if he accepts credit cards. As soon as I got in the car, I couldn't resist taking a bite of my media noche. Darn if it wasn't really one of the best I've ever eaten. I can't wait to bring my girlfriend here for her daily coffee fix or my husband to try one of the delicious Cuban offerings.

Don't skimp on the Jimmy joints! Hen we finally found this tiny spot we almost didn't purchase. If you blink you won't find it. It's at the CITGO station in the corner. I was desperate ant honestly, it reminded me of my trip to Cuba where the places were shabby but the cafe con Leche was heavenly. Same here. We are self proclaimed coffee snobs and will be back in the morning to get another cup. They close at 3pm. Note, if they would clean up and spruce up the place a bit and offer iced coffee and market the brand from the street level I bet they'd really do well.

Marqus R.

Key West Cuban Café is a real surpriser. You wouldn't guess it was here which is inside the 599 Citgo gasoline station. At least I didn't see any signs on the outside telling me about it. Though it says "café, "it might pass for such in Cuba, but for here it's really a counter order take out operation. But if you want the best Cuban sandwich around and at a bargain price, this is one of the best places around. I had their Cuban with Serrano ham and found it to be really good, especially at $7.50. They have about have about 6 other sandwich choices including a Cuban Sloppy Joe (it's actually a traditional Pan con Picadillo). There is also a good selection of coffees. If you are in need of a jolt, the Cafecito will do it for you. Plus they have pastries like a guava pastels and empanadas. Then if you like several complete meal items to select from.

Julia C.

If you are looking for a taste of Key West style Cuban food without the drive, you can find it at a Citgo on US 1 in Pompano believe it or not! Walk-up counter service, this little joint is packed with authentic Cuban flavor. I started with a ham croquette, it was served over potato sticks (awesome touch) and literally just melted in my mouth. Next I tried their Medianoche sandwich. It had Serrano ham, two types of pork, melted swiss, mustard & pickles. It took a few minutes as it was made fresh, but absolutely worth the wait! I sat on one of their stools and watched many locals come for their daily cafe con leche fix so of course I had to try a cafecito. It was only a $1! I ordered a guava and cream cheese pastelito for the road, it will be my dessert for later as I was too full to enjoy there. Overall an excellent experience and I will definitely be back the next time I am craving Cuban food.

Fantastic lunch. Wife and I split a Cuban sandwich that was out of this world. Super friendly people. Great Cuban con Leche as well. Very reasonably priced. Even had a place inside for the two of us to sit.

1/2 a Cuban Sandwich with delicious pork.

Great husband and wife team making wonderful coffee and entrees. It's inside a gas station, and don't let that stop you. Each dish is made with passion. Amazing customer service.

There's nothing more satisfying than finding a food establishment that's a true "diamond in the rough." Nestled inside a CITGO gas station, Key West Cuban Cafe could be one of Pompano Beach's best kept secrets! Serving up amazing Cuban coffee and Cuban sandwiches, the tiny cafe's owner is the cherry on top with his colorful personality and gracious hospitality. Don't be surprised if you've already consumed 2-3 shots of complimentary Cuban espresso while waiting! The Cuban Coffee is superb! I have a sensitivity with most coffee. I'll drink it then hours later, my stomach is unsettled. I drank this coffee with no such negative effect. We ordered the tostado (simple toasted bread and butter) and had a variety of Cuban pastries - all of it was delicious. The Cuban sandwich was the real deal! If you're ever in the Pompano Beach area, do make a stop here!

We were vacationing in Pompano Beach and decided to have some Cuban sandwiches. There were a handful of places but we settled in on the Key West Cuban Cafe as the reviews were all positive. We passed it on our first drive by as it is literally attached to the CITGO gas station. Needless to say, we were nervous. But that all changed when we were greeted by an enthusiastic gent who offered us some Cuban coffee as we made our selections. He spoke with us, answered questions and let us try the Swiss cheese and pork for the Cubano sandwich. We ended up buying 4 sandwiches, rice and Piccadillo and some pasties. All were much better than average and the Cubano was one of the best I've ever had. Don't let the location fool you, we'll be back!!! read more

EAT HERE!! This man that operates this cafe is truly an amazing soul! My friends and I stopped in after reading about his food on here and he was actually getting ready to leave to go work in his car but he stayed and made us fresh À la carte orders. We chatted most of the time and I tell you what, he is something else! He told us some amazing stories, one that really truely spoke a lot about who he is and where his life has taken him and he even had my gullible friend convinced he was going to make her a horse meat sandwich everyone else was laughing and she was just like oh.....that's really what we're going to eat?! Lol the way he moved around the kitchen and cookking, you can tell he LOVES what he's doing and it's something that makes him happy. The food was fucking AMAZING, i was bummed when we ran out of sandwiches and empanadas later that night! read more

Well I *Definitely* have found a new favorite stop for lunch - this unassuming little piece of heaven, nestled in a gas station walk-up window (yes, you heard that right) ... Eric, the owner is a really great guy to chat with, I went during a were dead slow time and he made me a Cuban Coffee Shot to enjoy while my food cooked (another thing I will be back for, WOW) ... Everything looked amazing (he has plates pre-made and wrapped in the window so You can see what's in the combo plates, etc) but once my order came and i ran back to the hotel with it, my tastebuds were nothing short of "Happy Happy Happy". Don't let the location mislead you, this is a hands down MUST STOP for one of the best Cubanos I have ever had. read more

This has been opened for about 4 months now and never knew it was there it's a hidden gem at a gas station. I ordered the Cuban sandwich to give it a try thinking since I'm not in Miami it was gonna be some Americanized version of the Cuban sandwich until it came out and I knew then this place was gonna be my spot. Very lovable service and clean kitchen I must say. Its definitely a must check out place. Stop by for a coffee/ Colada for those who love that strong Cuban style coffee. I give it a thumbs up for sure. read more

Found this gem purely by accident. Was at the gas station filling up my car and accidentally locked my keys, purse, phone inside. You would think this was the worst day ever but no. Went to the window to try to get the use of a phone and was greeted by the loveliest guy Eric who runs this establishment. Not only did he and a patron help me in the use of a phone to get me my spare set of keys, but Eric treated me to DELICIOUS Cuban coffee and warm pastries while I waited just out of the goodness of his heart. I was there for a good 30 minutes waiting for my friend. WHAT A FIND!!!! Not only was everything absolutely delicious, but I met a couple of people that will make your heart smile. Still some really great people in this world that just want to help someone out. This is my new GO TO spot for Cuban deliciousness!!!! read more

Man, I can't say enough good things about this little Cuban shop in a place that you would least expect. Please, please, please make it a point to go here. It's in a CITGO station right by the side of the road. Walk up service window. The owner, Eric, is personable and so kind. He gave us a couple of cortaditos on the house as we made introductions and small talked for 10-15 minutes about life and how he came to open the business. The Guava Pastel and Monte Christi were exquisite!!! He told us about his food and how he likes to prepare it. It was such a friendly and personable visit that i couldn't wait to get in the car and leave him this review. We got our to go boxes and jumped in to do so, and no joke as I'm writing this, came and knocked on our window to bring us two coffees for the road. "It's a long drive to the keys" he said. I can tell Eric is passionate about his business and he's doing an excellent job of making it a place to visit and enjoy. GO HERE!!! ITS WORTH GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY!! read more

They had so much variety in drink options. Some of their food items were out which is unfortunate BUT it comes to show how good their food is! Thats one part that made me take a start out though. I would hope they take note of what runs out to adjust to demand. The other reason is because some items are pre-made with bacon, which could be part of a dietary restriction, but they had turkey-bacon and turkey sausage which is considerate. The service was amazing though! They were so knowledgeable (they actually caught an ingredient i wouldnt want in one item based on other items i took it off of so they made sure to make me aware so i could take it off! So grateful!). They were also very quick to fulfill my order. I definitely recommend this place for tasty, aesthetically pleasing food.

There was one lady working and she was taking all the time in the world slowly scooping ice creams for twenty kids. Didn't even acknowledge other customers Wasn't going to wait 20 minutes for coffee. Never coming back to this location. Maybe we will visit Foxtail Coffee near Orlando when we are visiting central Florida area. Don't waste your time coming here. Will just go to Starbucks where there are more employees to take your order and actually acknowledge customers coming in to your business. I won't recommend this place to others. Won't risk dirtying my face and credibility for this coffee shop.

Pic Chocolate Cafe

A cute lil chocolate cafe in Pompano Beach…read more Came here after the Jellyfish museum since it was so close for a treat. This cafe is tucked away and feels cozy as soon as you enter. The decor is cute and they have areas to sit, one that feels like a living room and then a few more seating with tables. We were greeted by the staff as soon as we walked in and took a seat at one of the tables near the register. I think you can either order at your table or place it at the register. We decided to place it at the register since it looked like they were a bit busy. We got some of the fruit cups and choose to do it as a "PiC and dip". They asked us if we'd like it on a plate with the chocolate dip in the center or in a cup and we each choose the plate for our own orders. The daughter of the owner was super sweet to check with us on our preference and kept checking on all the patrons inside to make sure everyone was doing good. The fruit cup says it comes with seasonal fruit and it looks like all they had were strawberries for this time, which is fine with me since I love strawberries. You could choose either a white, dark, or milk chocolate for the dip. I loved how they also had an option to create your own chocolate bark. Very cute and I haven't seen a concept like this in a while. Overall, a very cute chocolate cafe.

Decorated in a cozy parisian theme, with many adorable gift items available…read more Coffee, cappuccinos, lattes, vast assorted teas and interesting cold drinks too!

I was happy to see our community grow, and this place has definitely been busy, which is great…read more I've been coming here since the day they opened, but unfortunately, today will likely be my last visit. They tell you to wait to be seated, yet there is no one assigned to seat guests. The waiters can clearly see there is a line, but no one takes the initiative to step up and seat anyone. Management seems very unorganized. They should assign one person specifically to seat guests, and when there is no wait, that person could float and assist elsewhere. After waiting, I finally asked a waiter if I could seat myself. I sat down and waited almost 10 minutes, and no one even came to offer water. At that point, I decided to get up and take my business elsewhere. The service today was horrible, and it seems that as they get busier, the service gets even worse. I do not recommend this place at all.

Better and older crowd . more relaxed setting .. better tasting options for your Kava and Kratom teas. Very long bar seating as well as tables and couches.

The service is great, the drinks are good, and the weed products are even better. Joe is everything that makes up a fantastic bartender, he's been working there longer than I've been a customer. If you like a more standard bar vibe, Wednesday nights are happy hour where the drinks are half off. That's when it's the busiest. However, the atmosphere really shines when there's not a lot of people. It has low lighting, comfy couches and bar seating, chill music is played at a comfortable volume, and the bar has a smart tv. If you're looking for a break from sensory hell, to just go to a place to charge your phone and work on your computer, or to just unwind, I cannot recommend this place enough, especially on Monday/Tuesday nights.

The menu here can feel a little overwhelming at first (so many amazing options!), but Rimsha was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. She took the time to guide me through the menu, made thoughtful recommendations, and really made me feel comfortable instead of rushed. I mentioned I was having some bladder sensitivity, and she recommended an iced detox tea with agave--and it was so good. She also suggested her favorite empanadas, and I ended up getting the Caprese and the flank steak with cheese (with chimichurri), both of which were delicious. What really made the experience special was how attentive and caring she was. It didn't feel transactional at all--she made it feel welcoming and personal. Big thank you to Rimsha for turning my visit into such a positive experience. I'll definitely be coming back!
