About Cuban Café

Based on the reviews, Cuban Café is a favorite downtown spot known for its cozy and quiet atmosphere, great customer service, and cheerful vibe. The owner is very sweet, and guests are always greeted with the warmest smile. The place is clean and welcoming, and the staff are friendly. The food is amazing, with specific favorites including the empanadas, which are like a meat pie, and the guava empanada, which is life changing. The chicken empanada and the tamale are also really good, and the Cubano and the guava empanada are the favorites of many guests. The Cuban sandwich is also great, with the sandwich being the perfect size and having a light but satisfying consistency. The traditional Cuban coffee is like a sweetened shot of espresso and is super duper strong, and the fresh Cuban espresso is a refreshing upgrade from basic coffee. Other drink options include the best chai tea, lovely coffee, and herbal teas at $2 a cup. The menu is described as having plenty of yummy food, and you literally cannot go wrong with a single item. It makes a perfect picnic for the park. For parking, there is free parking at the Riverfront Carousel across the street, on the street around the block, or at the pay parking Air Garage near Commercial and State street. This coffee shop is one of the most chill and cheerful spots in downtown Salem, and it is a great spot next to Riverfront Park.
