For a family owned spot i ABSOLUTELY love this place! if you're in the area and want to enjoy a good QUALITY sub this is your go to spot. forget anything else highly recommend a cuban steak or Philly cheesesteak! & it only gets better this place will make you one of the best cuban coffee/Colada Broward County has to offer! if you're a coffee lover try this place out as well you won't regret it!
We were in the area moving our son to Davie and stopped in for lunch today. What a great find. Family atmosphere and cool vibe. We had Cuban sandwiches and Cuban coffee that was the real deal. Good prices and generous portions. We can’t wait to visit again when we are in town.

I came to The Original SubCafe after reading all the good reviews. At first, things went well — a very nice gentleman greeted me and even sat me at a fun decorative car table. I ordered coffee and a sandwich — both were good, and I was actually trying to compliment them on the food.
But then, a female staff member came over with a very rude and dismissive attitude. While I was trying to say something nice about my experience, she completely ignored me — as if I was talking to the wall. She didn’t acknowledge my words, didn’t say “thank you,” didn’t even care. The only thing she seemed focused on was kicking me out of that table.
I was shocked. I had paid for my food, I was still finishing my meal, and instead of a simple polite interaction, I was treated with hostility and disrespect. That ruined the entire experience for me.
Bottom line: Good food, but one staff member’s unprofessional and downright rude behavior was so bad that I would never come back.

The chicken and steak phillys are good. The service is good but it can get busy quick. The coffee is great. Very welcoming and respectful staff. All the food was fresh.

This place is a must-visit — a true Davie staple. Themed like an old-school diner, it’s the kind of breakfast spot you bring the whole family to, not just for the amazing food and friendly service, but for the vibe. The signature Cadillac booth alone is worth the trip (and a picture 📸), but trust me, you’ll want to stay for the food.
Gladys, the owner, and Ernesto, the manager, are almost always there. They know their regulars by name and make you feel like family. It’s got that classic mom-and-pop feel where, even though you went out for breakfast, it feels like home.
The food? Packed with flavor and clearly made with love. I always order the Sub Café Breakfast (and never switch it up because I don’t want to miss out, lol). It comes loaded: two croquetas (not frozen — big deal if you know croquetas), sausage (I swap mine for extra bacon), bacon, eggs, toast, and the crown jewel — the home fries. Those home fries are next-level, tangy with just the right hit of onion, and I swear they have to be a family recipe.
I’m grateful this gem is just 5 minutes from my house. On weekends, it’s our go-to breakfast spot with the family — good food, good people, good vibes.

This is the one most unwelcoming racist establishing in FL. Waited 20 minutes only to have a white Cuban come in and his order was taken less than 2 minutes upon arrival. When we tried to get the attention of servers they ignored us and started speaking Spanish. Not knowing I understood. They don’t want Black people here so I’m heading to a place where I’m welcomed. I gave 1 star because it wouldn’t allow me to give 0 star.

We absolutely love coming here on our lunch breaks! My manager Denise, Josh, and I are here almost all the time for our sandwiches. Marco, Osvaldo, and Mario are amazing — they always get our order right and make sure we’re taken care of exactly how we like it. We usually ask for New York–style chop cheese, which isn’t even on the menu, and they always make it special for us. The best part is you can watch them prepare everything with so much love and care. Every sandwich feels made just for you. Highly recommend this spot — we’ll definitely keep coming back!
Super nice people, they make a mean breakfast wrap!!

The sandwiches are great but it feels like a sacrifice to get one from here. Service is extremely slow and they will get your order wrong every single time. You have to stand there and watch them make it, that’s the only way. Do not bother ordering over the phone or delivery. Your order is guaranteed to be wrong every single time. If you order ahead and pick it up yourself, they won’t start making it until you get there and ask someone about it. It just doesn’t make sense that a place that has been in business so long can’t read orders and fulfill them.
