This is by far my favorite snow ball stand. The owner, Andres, always gives the warmest welcomes and we share a mutual admiration of classic cars. He’s actually from Havana, where he and his family ran a classic car sight seeing business. I always enjoy our chats and he really pours some soul into his snowballs and coffee’s. Really love the color and patina on his beautiful 55’ Chevy too. It’s one of my favorite classic cars. The flag pole is a MUST DO if you get the chance...read full review
The Cuban lady behind the counter is very kind. I asked her to make me a coffee the way she likes it. She prepared a delicious Cortadito with plenty of sugar.
They have a few old cars parked outside for ambiance and the patio tables are a lovely marble.

Delicious Cuban sandwiches, coffee, and a relaxed place to enjoy the neighborhood.
