This place was amazing pre Covid. It’s so empty now and no more pastries like before… They still got the amazing mamey shake though 🙂

Best Cuban food I've had in LA by far. Great prices, quality baked items, and calm atmosphere. Just wish they were open later.

The yucca fries were fried to perfection! Crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside. The pork tamale is one of the best I’ve had in LA so far, there’s a sauce on it that’s tangy and savory which adds so much. The prices are so affordable, like a guava cheese pastry less than $2 are you kidding me? Prices I’m used to before covid and this place stayed the same. A+
Amazing Cuban coffee worth a visit and the prices are amazingly affordable. Great customer service. Place is really clean aswell.

Cafe Cuba & Cakes on Hawthorne Blvd is a delightful spot that brings a taste of Cuba right to the heart of the city! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee or enjoy a meal.
I tried their classic Cuban sandwich, and it was amazing—perfectly pressed with savory pork, ham, and melted cheese, all packed with flavor. I also couldn't resist sampling their pastries, and the guava turnover was a standout—sweet, flaky, and absolutely delicious!
The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get.
If you're in the area and looking for authentic Cuban cuisine and tasty cakes, Cafe Cuba & Cakes is a must-visit! I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu!
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.
