    Breakfast Sandwich Mini Sausage
    Ashley M.

    Came here after doing my HASC classes . Absolutely love these kind of restaurants where is simple options . The coffee was good flavour Service was welcoming A nice spot to check out while being in town I will say my breakfast sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've tried . I would definitely come back and try their other options

    Ok, so I met the owner and they were telling me how good their Cuban food is. They are not Cuban, but I figured I'd give it a chance. I asked what the most popular menu item is, as I am very partial to ropa vieja. I was told it was either that or the pan con bistec. I went with the sandwich. OMG!!!!! The pressed bread was followed by the crisp crunch of fresh veggies, then the tender beef. Too many times, a sandwich like this uses low quality beef that you have to gnaw through. This required no pressure to get through. I'm glad I didn't order a side, because the sandwich was so filling. The restaurant's tables were full of multiple ethnicities, so you know it good. Will go back for the ropa vieja and let you know! Until next time, @htxeate

    Food: I ordered the Cuban Sandwich which was good. I also purchased a pineapple drink that haven't seen or tasted in a couple of decades. I'm not a soda drinker but I just had to purchase one and it was just as delicious as I remembered it. Service: I walked in and no one else was there except two employees who were speaking to each other. I had to practically stare at one in order to get some attention. I was addressed in English but of course, as an AfroLatina, I responded in Spanish. Afterwards, I felt completely ignored especially since I was the only customer in the cafe and the employees continued to speak loudly to each other. Finally, a delivery guy showed up and it was an instant celebration amongst them. When my sandwich was ready, it was placed on the counter without a simple acknowledgement. They could've said something like, "ma'am, here's your sandwich, I hope you enjoy it. Atmosphere: The restaurant was clean on the exterior and interior. The vibe was unwelcoming and therefore, I will not be returning. QUALITY customer service is key in any business.

    While the walls are unfinished and it would be nice if the construction materials weren't strewn about, the food makes up for the ambiance. We came for breakfast and the Cuban breakfast sandwich is a winner. I might have asked for it with mustard if I tried it again, but the bread is a winner. The cafe con leche is one of the best I have had in Texas.

    The Cuban sandwich tasted so good today. I'm glad I gave them another chance but the price does not match what is posted on here at $5.95. I also had a cafe con leche which was delicious as well at Starbucks prices. Quick service and clean. Got there before the lunch crowd. The only thing I wish the sandwich came with is pickled onions and jalapeños to make it even better. Casual ambience.

    This is one of the best Cuban restaurants around! I ordered the Ropa Vieja plate. They have it as a sandwich too and that's also delicious. The actual plate is only a dollar more and comes with much more. I would recommend getting the plate so you can try three side items and get the full experience of a traditional Cuban dinner. They close early and stay kind of busy. I was able to find a table during peak lunch hours though. If you want to try authentic Cuban food this is the place to go.

    This place slaps. Incredible hole in the wall Cuban place I love it here. Anyone in Baytown has to know about this place. I'm obsessed with the Cuban coffee. That hint of sweetness you just can't get anywhere, and I was wired all day. Definitely packs a punch with the caffeine. Outside of the coffee I get the Cuban sandwich. Such a simple pressed sandwich but it tastes so good and it's so affordable. Their service is so quick too, man they are speedy. It is a tiny space though and there's not much seating, but I haven't had a problem getting it even during busy hours. Probably my favorite lunch spot!

    Houston is expecting its snow tomorrow - which, as u know, is something extremely rare , so before the highways closed today we ventured out to the Cuban Cafe. Well, a little gem I should say. Melissa, she owns the Cafe btw, was super sweet and friendly. It was a Cuban cafe so we wanted to have something Cuban, she suggested we go with the Cafe Con Leche, a Cuban latte version. It was hot and very yummy. To accompany the coffee we got the Veggie sandwich- which consisted of roasted veggies in a fresh Cuban bread. Was satisfied and ready to leave when my partner realized they had french toast and promptly ordered one - he enjoyed it. With the snow and Covid combined, we were the only couple seated, everyone else walked in for a to-go. Melissa was very cheerful and helpful, she even walked over to turn the heater on which she had completely forgotten about since nobody was walking in to actually sit and eat. She has an amazing collection of money from all over the world which she displays very proudly like a piece of art- Now... who would not love money art. A good weather is all the place needs. It has a bay close by , its cute, its far away yet so close (about 35 min from Downtown) .... u just have to pretend the huge smoke factories you need to cross to get there do not exist ;). Must Visit

    Amazing!! We had the Ropa vieja and Cuban sandwich-- the best we've had!!! The owner was unbelievably the nicest person ever!! Don't pass up on this place if you're nearby--they have two other locations I believe. The Cuban coffees were really good too!!

    The service and the food was so fantastic!! I was passing through town and was dying for some authentic Cuban food and luckily enough my partner found the Cuban Cafe! I was planning on only eating half lolll but it was so delicious I ate the whole thing!!! Hands down I highly recommend if you live or are passing through the area stop for lunch!

    Good waffle with fresh fruit. Cuban sandwich was just an average breakfast sandwich but ok. More like a panini sandwich.
