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.

Worst service in the world. I was waiting at the cashier to place an order for 30mins and the waitress didn't even acknowledge me. Don't go here

Meat pies are SO good and papa rellenas. Very authentic Cuban bread which is so hard to find! The staff is incredibly friendly and I have had some of the best Cuban food at this amazing cafe!

The sandwich and pastries from here are great. My family has been coming here for years. But the experience I have had with the lady answering the phone, the same lady I'm assuming that the other 1 star reviewers have mentioned, is beyond rude. My wife called to ask about the status of some pastries we ordered, and the reply she got was "I don't see any order with your name and if you ordered it they should be here sitting on the counter. I don't know why you have picked them up." It was almost as if we were being scolded for not having picked up the order yet. I literally stopped with what I was doing at home as I was in shock with the tone in which she was using to speak to wife. Lost a longtime customer over nothing. Horrible service.

After being raised in LA for so many years. I learned that this cafe had been in Hawthorne for many years. We ordered the Frita Cubana, plátanos maduros, some pastelitos de Guayaba y Queso (Refugiados) and Pineapple. It seems as their pastries have a coconut and sugar wash to give the bits a different sweetness layer. We included each a Cortadito, which HIT the spot on a rainy afternoon. The service here was very attentive and fast in a laid back environment. I most definitely recommend this Cafe, over other competitors who have grown too big and have undermined the product. This visit took me back to my childhood being Cuban in LA and going shopping with my parents doing the rounds supporting our community.

I was in the area for an appointment and found this place. Got the most amazing sandwich cubano, cafe con leche, guava and cheese pastry and a dulce de leche cookie. The area and the exterior doesn't look like much but don't let it fool you! The food was really good and tasty. The sandwich was hot and melty, the bread perfectly crusty on the outside and soft inside. The place feels homey, the service is homey, and I enjoyed my time there. It's was a little warm inside but I didn't let it bother me. I am always looking for the best dulce de leche and I can tell you that the cookie I got hit the spot like no other. It has the perfect consistency, flavor and color. All the other pastries look amazing too but couldn't fit anything else. I will be back to try more next time I'm here. Prices are very good.

Not what it used to be . I asked for an iced coffee they gave me chocolate syrup and milk! Had to ask for my drinks twice. Lady just kept complaining that nobody was helping her bring our utensils. The ac was not working and it was super hot inside. Food was plain , croquetas were flavorless.

You know when 9ne loves a place because it feels like home, but better, one kind of doesn't want a lot of people to invade it So, am gonna say this once: Respect this place, treat their servers eight and appreciate one warrior. A family owned business serving better food, handcrafted, homemade food in this time when workers aren't "all there" for a variety or reasons, small business ownners who manage to deliver are indeed heros and role models for us all, dissapearung middle classers.Congratulations for the ambiance, great music, exceptional good, friendly service, and the flavor of Cuba la Bella that almost brought tears to my eyes, recalling memories long lost in time.Thank you.
