Flan & breakfast sandwich were a hit with our party. Delightful & bright interior to help wake you up while you sip your drink off choice. Coffee is delicious - cafecito is delightful in its simplicity & sweetness; cafe con leche is well balanced and very delicious. Exceptionally kind and charismatic staff. A must visit.

Found this cute spot when walking around downtown but it was closed on a Tuesday. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to return and ordered Cafe con Leche, Cuban Sandwich Breakfast, Caprese Cubano and Pastelito de Cheese. Everything was excellent, the place is colorful with cool Cuban pictures on the wall. Would definitely come back again’

I had the Cuban breakfast sandwich with pork and a cup of dark roast coffee. That coffee was super smooth and the sandwich, superb. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Oh, and the staff was amazing, friendly and top notch.

Visiting for the second time and came back and still had the best experience! The cortadito was rich and smooth, and the Cubano was amazing. Kathy, the owner, is so warm and personable, making the whole experience even better. It feels so intentional and cared for and amazing for sitting down or on the go. 10/10

The best Cuban food in SC. The owners were so attentive and kind. You must try Cuban coffee if you’ve never had it (spun sugar). Their Cuban sandwich was 10/10 - this place is the real deal

We had a fabulous experience here this morning, greeted warmly by the staff and served delicious mocha, empanadas and a Cubano sandwich. The owner was so kind to bring a ‘puppacino’ for our for our service dog Ozzie too. We would love to return!

I love this place. Having to attend school in Miami, this spot brings me memories of the great Cuban food during my university era. Must have a Cuban coffee or cafe con leche
