During a visit to McCaysville, we stopped at Rum Cake Lady Cuban Café while exploring the area as…read morepart of our day riding the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. 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 placed the order and 10 minutes later, I was handed a brown paper bag that smelled delectable. The Yuca fries were amazing. Truly the best I'd ever tasted. Apparently they came with some type of sauce. I didn't realize that until after my fries were gone. The plantains...SIMPLY DELICIOUS! Oh, and the cake...MOUTHWATERING!! Unfortunately, I'd only gotten the Bundt cake and IMMEDIATELY wished I'd gotten at least another one.

I decided on a bowl with hummus, shawarma, and an assortment of toppings. It was delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I got another to take home. The bowl was enough for me to make into three meals that kept me going and happy all day. Will definitely swing by more regularly to pick up a healthy treat for myself. They also offer up a great selection of middle eastern grocery items--as well as things the use in their kitchen--so you can take home your favorites to use in your own kitchen. Picked up a container of sheeps milk cheese (feta) this visit and will be getting pickles next time.

The cheese-sticks are AMAZING and seem to be made i house. The burgers were really thick patties which reminded me of skillet burgers growing up. The buns were cold and would've made the meal better had they been warm. Fries were incredibly salty. $45 for three meals and cheese sticks at a dinner style restaurant was a bit of a shock. We joked that they snuck in an out of towner fee.
