The food, service, cafecitos are all fantastic & prices are very reasonable. Great people. Shaded outdoor seating. Love this little place!

Love this place! I’ve had many things here, and here are our must haves: loaded tostones (pictured), Cuban sandwich, cortadito (Cuban coffee), lentil and sweet plantain empanada. Enjoy!

Stopped here on a drive up to Jacksonville based off some Reddit tips; so glad we did!! The empanadas are perfect and everything else was so flavorful and just a perfect lunch bite. There was plenty of shade for us to sit and enjoy even though it was the hottest part of the day. The woman at the counter(I’m assuming the owner) was an absolute delight; I cannot wait to return!
Vegetarian options: I didn’t not get to try but there were a handful of vegan options that I would love to get to next time!
The Nautical Cafe is a true gem of a Cuban cafe in Melbourne Beach. You'd be hard pressed to find better Cuban food in Miami, Tampa or Havana. They have a lot of the classics along with a few unusual items like lentil/plantain empanadas. There's a good selection of vegetarian options and the tostones are some of the best I've ever had, crunchy on the outside and creamy inside. Seating is very limited and is all outside, although there is a good amount of shade.
Wow. This little beach cafe packs a flavorful punch. The Cuban sandwich is a must. The empanadas (sweet or savory filling wrapped in dough) are authentic and delicious. Everything we’ve tried here has been outstanding. The coffee is also delicious.

I work in the area and use them often for call and pick up. Can be tough to park but there’s options. You can drive around the back of the bait shop next door. Park across the street. Or what I do is try to back in. Friendly family owned place with great breakfast and lunch quick bites!

I recently visited my favorite Cuban café next to the beach, and once again, it did not disappoint! The highlight of my visit is their delicious pulled pork, guava and cheese empanadas, fish and chips, Cuban sandwich which are my top favorite. The flavors are rich and authentic, making every bite a true delight. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this café is a must-visit. The beachside ambiance only adds to the overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend!
