Cubana Cafe

Cubana Cafe may be small, but it packs big flavor. I opted for the chicken soup and the chickpea salad with avocado and chicken, while my boyfriend had the Latina burger. We both loved our meals. The food was delicious. I also want to give a shout out to Cubana cafe for being open on Christmas. It's not easy to find places to eat on that day, and we were so grateful to have stumbled upon your eatery. You can be sure that when we come back to Brooklyn, we'll be swinging by Cubana cafe again. For sure. See you again soon!

Been here twice for brunch. It's a very casual and cute setting with nice music and a beautifully decorated interior that includes those bright pastels you associate with Cuba. The service is always just two people, who are both very friendly and attentive. The coffee and food is good. It's simple food - nothing that will wow you, but it's a good price and the atmosphere makes it all worth it, in my opinion

I am the vegan of the group and although my options were a bit limited, I enjoyed the food. I ordered the arroz con vegetales, chips and guac, and tostones. I really enjoyed the arroz con vegetales! A great ratio of vegetables to rice. I do wish there had been a vegetarian protein options because I definitely left a bit hungry. Overall, I had a good experience and the atmosphere of Cubana Cafe was so cute. As the non-vegan of the group, I ordered the Arroz con pollo. It came with rice and beans and it was a very large portion so I had leftovers. Chicken was cooked well and you had a choice of rice, I got the yellow. The elote was perfectly seasoned and there were chips and guac for the table. The shrimp ceviche came with a fruit salad and it was delicious. The only thing I wanted to mention, we had a few vegans that ordered the ‘Yucca with Mojo’. On the menu it doesn’t state any dairy in the dish and so we thought it was safe to order. When it arrived, it seemed to have a dairy sauce covering the entire top of the dish. Although tasty, they weren’t very eager to replace the dish so we just handed it over to the rest of the table and shared it while the other folks had to order something else. Overall, it was a cozy restaurant with tasty food.
