Homey spot for Cuban sandwiches and baked goods. Came here for lunch with my boyfriend on a weekend and we originally tried splitting one cubano, but it was so good that we ended up getting a second one. If you dine-in, the sandwich comes with a side (which in this case, were fries). We also got Batidos - you can get this with milk or water. We had a mango one with milk and a strawberry one with water - both were very large portions and very well mixed. The sandwich is made to order and you can get take-out or dine-in. Credit cards are accepted. They speak primarily Spanish but can speak some English.

Very very rude and mean. The young lady who tried to take our coffee order was nice but asked a fellow coworker to speak english to us which she refused. As an American citizen and veteran it was shocking to me to be treated in such a mean and dismissive way. We were clearly the minority in the restaurant and there was no effort at all to make us feel welcome. I’m sure they treat their own kind with the most love and respect. I can see it in the vibe of the restaurant. Unfortunately that warmth wasn’t extended to my husband and I. They refused to help us and I have no other reason than to assume it’s because we are black.

Food was incredibly bland and in small portions. Plantains undercooked. Got literally 5 French fries with a Cuban sandwich. Coffee was great though! Staff also didn't speak English.

I've been going to Cafe Cuba since it opened up. Never disappointing foods. Always good prices they can be a little steep on occasion, but it's worth it.

Always get birthdays catered.

As a fella, Cuban, it is good to taste authentic Cuban food.

The chef is outstanding!

Kid-friendliness: There are plenty of tasty pastries for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp at the front door.

Great little cafe with authentic Cuban food. The pork looked dry when it was served, but it was actually tender. The guava pastries did not have enough fruit in them, so it did taste like you were eating a dry Phyllo. Although there was only one person serving, our meals were good. It took quite a while to get service, and there was a lady getting takeout that kept being asked to sit down in order to serve others. They would get to get and then someone else would come in and she's be asked to wait. As a business owner, I would have offered her a drink and pastry. She should have been taken care of first as she waited the longest.

Such a gem in Hawthorne, always has been. Cubano sandwiches and iced lattes are really good and worth the wait. Plus, I love the Cuban art they have on the walls.

Came in on a Sunday (google listed as closed but it is open on Sundays) and had a great cortadito and cajeta pastelito. Service was polite and prompt. Looking forward to coming back for the food.

Parking: Lots of spots right in front along Hawthorne Blvd

I regret not finding this spot sooner. The food is incredible and the drinks are tasty. I go every weekend for an iced coffee and pastelitos. The beef and cheese are my favorite.
