If you are Hispanic -you can only trust this place for coffee and sandwiches. My hubby loves the croquettes as they are as good here as they are in Little Havana. Today is the 4th and it's one of the few places open. Support a mom and pop! read more

Please ppl this is not authentic Cuban. This is garbage. The croqueta preparada OMG what was that? As a Cuban I will tell you now this place is a front. The bread with butter (tostada con mantequilla) HORRIBLE!!!!! They need to stop making that garbage too. The cafe con leche (coffee with milk) lord it was so bad. Never ever ever again. read more

A quick trip to St. Augustine had us trying to go to the Spanish Bakery. Unfortunately, they opened at 11am instead of 10am as posted online. Driving by, we noticed The Cuban Cafe and Bakery and decided to grab food there instead. We ordered a papa rellena, a beef empanada, and a pan con bistec. The papa rellena was super crispy with creamy mashed potatoes and nicely flavored beef in the center. The empanada was pretty good and I think had potatoes inside which was new to me for a Cuban empanada. The sandwich was also tasty - thinly sliced steak on crispy Cuban bread topped with lettuce, tomato, and crispy potato sticks. Everything was fresh, tasty, and enjoyable. Probably not the best Cuban food I've had, but a pretty good version. read more

Tried this place on DD. The coffee was amazing. I didn't add a thing to it and it was 5x better than Starbucks. Cuban sandwich was huge and I ended up giving half of it to my husband. I wish the empanada was spicier but that's a personal preference. read more

These are the best beef empanadas ever they eat it up every time. I could live off of the empanadas. 90% of my diet is beef empanadas. I love this place. read more

Ham croquette, media noche and cortadito - amazing! Definitely delicious and will be back.

I've never had Cuban coffee before and my husband made it a point that I try some. I was not disappointed. When I saw the tiny cup of coffee I thought it would taste like motor oil. However, the coffee was smooth and sweet. Also, the prices were very fair. My husband and daughters tried a few pastries. The said they were quite good. My sister tried the cafe con leche. She said it was one of the best cups of coffee she'd had in a while. read more

My wife really liked the first Cuban Sandwich she had, the second one was not as good, hence the 2 stars for not consistently good. We walk in, I wasn't impressed with the decor or the eat and run feel to the place but I wasn't ordering anyway, besides it's all about the food, right? I tried the Café con Leche both times we were there and it was delicious both times, the Cuban Sandwich was not, the second sandwich didn't have enough cheese or Lechón, the meat was also a bit cold. We had a girl make the sandwich the first time but the second time it was a male and he didn't cut the mustard. I politely mentioned this to the girl at the register as it seems they are new to the business. I said, when making a sandwich it has to be consistent, if you like it the first time you are likely to return, but if its not the same, you've lost a customer because you're not consistent with your sandwich making. I hope they take my advice. read more

Really unpleasant and disappointing experience. If it were't for the cafe con leche I would have rated it a zero. NO customer service. NADA. They stand around and do not answer their phone. We arrived and employees were chit chatting at the back oblivious to customers arriving. No rice. No beans. No decaf coffee. No vegetables. No fresh bread. No service. It was not just us - there were others there who complained that they paid and did not receive their food for over 20 minutes. The place was almost empty. What are they there for? Certainly not to provide food or services to anyone. Forget it. read more

The food was undercooked. The Cuban sandwich had undercooked and cold meat. The bread was wet with mustard.. I was only able to eat a few bites before I felt like getting sick , the collage girls running the place seemed bothered that I was not happy eating what they made. Should have asked for a refund. read more

This is a nice little spot in St. Augustine in the middle of town. An affordable lunch stop. Modest amount of indoor and outdoor seating, but it was a beautiful day and we still got a spot. Of course we all tried the Cuban Sandwich. The ham was exquisite. Some of the most savory and moistest I've had. However, the bun was not great. A little tough. Otherwise, thumbs up! BTW - no bathrooms read more

Lovely place, beautiful owners, delicious foods. The empanadas are spot on both have distinctive taste beef and chicken. The Cuban sandwich is the bomb and the croquet sandwich is simply amazing. #cubancafeandbakery read more

My group came here on a 7PM Sunday night and found that it was open but empty. The little place made no indications that it was closing for the night so despite Yelp telling us it was "closed" we walked in. There were only empanadas left; the rest of the baked goods in the display weren't there. The two persons behind the counter seemed to enjoy talking to each other rather than attending to our orders. The floor and tables had crumbs of food on it. The sandwiches themselves were decent but definitely lacked the "wow" factor. I really liked the texture of my Cuban sandwich as well as the little crunchy "fries" in the bistec sandwich. The pork sandwich came a bit dry and so I would recommend getting one of the main sandwiches (midnight, Cuban, or bistec). read more

The worst cuban sandwich and chicken empanada I've ever had. Service was friendly so I'm giving them 2 stars. Also, we needed to use the restroom, but they said they had none. I didn't know restaurants could not have a restroom. read more

We were strolling in the beautiful St. Augustine and thought we'd grab a sandwich, so we ducked into the Cuban Cafe and Bakery. Ordered the sandwich special, and then waited a half hour in the warm cafe to receive it. There were only about four other customers, so they weren't exactly busy. I think they just forgot about us. After twenty minutes, I asked about the status of the sandwich; the cashier walked toward the back and had a quick word with the cook. He then said I was "next." A family of 6 then walked in and all ordered sandwiches. Ten minutes later, I received my sandwich, as did the family of 6. The sandwich was good, but not worth the wait. And I was definitely turned off by the workers' lack of interest. read more

This is the place to come have authentic Cuban food in St. Augustine! The food, the coffee, the music, the decor, the ambiance: every single detail is authentic Cuban. Everything Delicious!! I highly recommend it. We tried a couple pf other Cuban places around the area and this one is the best BY FAR. read more

Best coffee I've ever had! The pastries were excellent as well. I would drink this coffee every day if I could!

So I am cuban from Miami, so I def. Know my Cuban food! But I now live in Cali. & St. Augustine was our 1st Florida stop so I was excited to get my hands on some Cuban whatever! 1st thing i will say b4 I go on with my order--WAY overpriced!! Cafe con Leche-can't complain-- prob. Best choice Flan ($4.99-ouch) - i didn't enjoy it at all...my boys did but not me or husband! We r picky though--(Miami--Rio Crystal)...i like it creamy!! Tres Leches ($4.99-ouch) Pretty good! Much better than the Flan but i am not as picky about my Tres Leches Ham croquette-- ok Cuban Toast w/cheese-- SO disappointed--- definitely not Cuban bread!!! I was so excited bc not easy to find Cuban bread in Cali., but this "French Bread" was horrible! & it prob. Cost me $4-$5! They did have pastelitos, empanadas, papa relleno but didn't try. I would ever only go back for coffee! Sorry, but got to be honest! Spent about $25, and feel it was a waste! read more

The Cuban Cafe And Bakery - Definitely not Cuban bread!!! - Cuban Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I'm from Miami where there's Cuban food easily available. I'm glad St Augustine has the cafe but the experience was just okay. The cuban sandwich was pretty good but the cafe con leche had no coffee flavor. Instead it tasted like hot sugar water. When I first visited the place about seven years ago the staff was Cuban. That's no longer the case. read more

I'm giving this place a 1 because I can't give it less but I, as a Cuban American, born in Cuba and raised in Miami on pastelitos and colada am truly insulted!!! How dare this place call themselves "The Cuban Cafe and Bakery"?! No one here seems to know what they're doing! The colada... bitter, watered-down and tasteless. THE worst one I've ever had! Their pastelitos: BLAND Churros Tasteless and honestly feels like they've been in the shelf for about 2 days! They make you buy the water and don't even offer a cup of ice with tap water like most normal places. The sandwiches are sooooo expensive yet have no taste! Ugh! I'm so disappointed! There is nothing Cuban about this place! We are on a roadtrip from Miami and were so excited to try a Cuban place in St Augustine but what a let down! I should have known better but was hopeful! Cubans stay away! Unless you want to eat overpriced bland wanna-be-Cuban food and coffee!! read more

On vacation with my family, we were hungry. We saw the sign and thought, "why not?" We each got a Cuban Sandwich. The food was served hot and very delicious. They open at 10am. read more

Greetings! I ordered a Cuban sandwich and a pastry through DoorDash, The pastry was in a brown paper bag, and the sandwich was wrapped in foil, and then they were both placed together in a plastic bag. When the food arrived, it was super hot, which was really nice! But when I opened the bag, the paper bag was totally saturated with grease, and then, when I went for my sandwich, the foil was totally saturated with grease as was the sandwich! I don't know if they brushed the bread with oil or butter, but it was swimming with grease to the point where I could not even pick up and hold onto the sandwich and all of the insides were falling out everywhere......... so because of the over the top amount of grease, it turned what could've been a great sandwich into a bad one imho. I am sure being here in the south people love fried food and grease so it might not be problematic to some, but definitely did not work for me. I tried to call the restaurant on several occasions, but they either do not have a phone or they are having issues with their phone. I always prefer to give somebody the benefit of the doubt rather than running, and putting a review online, but I wasn't left with a choice. Anyway,just my experience. read more

A nice little Cuban Cafe and Bakery hidden away off Saint George Street. An affordable lunch place with good food in downtown Saint Augustine. Enjoyed lunch there yesterday. Had the Pan Con Croqueta and a Cafe Con Leche both were really good. Limited seating inside but there is small patio that has seating as well. The restaurant was crowed and people never stopped coming in while we were there. Ordered at the counter, staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. Drinks came out in about 5 minutes and maybe 10 minutes for the food. Pretty impressive considering how crowed it was. Will be back! read more

Freshly made to order authentic Cuban food . The stuffed yuca was out of this world. The empanadas amazing! Last but not least a guava and cheese pastry yummy read more

We were skeptical of this place because of the reviews, but we decided to try it since we passed by. Had fun music as well! We got a Cuban Coffee, Churro and Flan! Oh man! The flan was so rich and creamy, it was awesome. The churro was good, but I wish it was filled. The coffee was in a tiny cup, very strong and delicious. We didn't try any of their savory items though, but we had a good time here. They took credit cards, and had limited indoor seating, which was fine because we sat outside. Definitely come in for dessert! read more
