Café Tropical is a great local spot for classic Cuban comfort food and strong coffee. The sandwiches are flavorful, portions are solid, and service is quick. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. It can get busy, but it's worth the stop.

The best coffee shop in Los Angeles, hands-down. The pastries are amazing. Some of the best in the city. The coffee is tasty. Vibes are perfect. They also do a lot of outreach to the community to help support people in need. Come and support them. I’m headed there right now!

Grabbed a tasty coffee here in the afternoon. Has a open, vibrant atmosphere, good music and good vibes. Got the cafe helado and it was sweet like a Vietnamese coffee but a lil’ more chicory and leathery flavored like Cafe Llave. Supercharged me.

Definitely a spot for coffee, but as for the food, I have to be honest I grabbed a sandwich, and it was probably the saddest one I’ve ever had. I’ve had much better sandwiches in Orlando. The pastries and coffee are decent, but the sandwich? I asked for no mustard, and once it was gone, I understood why they hesitated. Without the mustard, there’s basically nothing left just about 3 ounces of meat and a super thin slice of ham.
The last time I went to Cafe Tropical was about 10 years ago and it was AMAZING! I went there on Sunday and I was blown away on how much it had changed since the last time I was there. No more fresh pastries, no more huge selection of baked bread. It was condensed to a small display case of what looked like day old bread. I ordered what used to be my usual, a cubano and orange juice, when I saw the price of the juice, I removed it. The atmosphere was different, the pictures were different, the faces were different, and the heart of the food was gone. When I got my sandwich I walked out quickly, thinking that the first bite would change my mind, but no. My sandwich was burnt, the ingredients didn’t taste the way they used to, it was just heartbreaking. I used to brag about this place and recommend it on the daily, but unfortunately that’s not gonna happen anymore. Thank you for the memories Cafe Tropical, but that was my last visit.
Place is awesome. Get the chilaquiles burrito.
