Best Cuban food I’ve had in a long time. Better than most Cuban food in Miami. Everything is clearly house-made and intentional. Execution is amazing. The best empanadas, rice pudding, Cuban Sandwich, everything. Even the coffee is done to perfection. House made Cuban bread? Crazy! No one does that.Love to see a great representation of the food and culture. Must try. You’ll need multiple trips to try everything worth trying.
I always order the Cuban sandwich and when I tell you IT IS SO GOOD!!!! The mustard, the pickles, the meat, the cheese and the bread all are perfectly balanced in flavor. It is always so warm and delicious. I will never stop going to this place ??

A friend at work told me about this place. We were talking about places to get a good Cuban and he told me i had ti try this spot, so today was the day. Me and another friend decide to go today for lunch. Now the spot is about 20min from the job so we ordered ahead so we could get it and get vack to work. We ending up getting two Cuban sandwiches 2 orders of Plantains, i also got a pina colada frappe and my coworker also got the mini completa steak plate which inckudes steak, onions, rice, and blackbeans. I will say now the only reason I gave 4 and not 5 Stars is because of the frappe it was not as good as I thought it would be, but other than that everything was great. HAS TO BE ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST CUBANS I HAVE EVER HAD, DEFINITELY THE BEST IN THE 757. I always say that the bread makes or breaks the sandwich great bread plenty of meat. I could not finish it neither could my coworker its HUGE. The Plantains were great. Service was good nice people. Small place, but if un know like i know those are the best places for good food. I will defintely be returning real soon, great job.

I recently discovered The Lab Bistro, an authentic Miami Cuban-style Cafeteria and Bakery, and it exceeded all expectations. The Cuban sandwich here is an absolute delight – hands down the best outside of Miami, Florida. What sets The Lab Bistro apart is their commitment to tradition and authenticity. Every dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using traditional Cuban techniques that transport you to the nostalgic times of old Cuba. The dedication to making everything from scratch truly shines through, delivering the genuine flavors that make Cuban cuisine so special. From the ambiance to the last bite, The Lab Bistro is a culinary gem that captures the essence of Miami's Cuban culinary heritage.

Hole in the wall place but stellar food. We had Cuban sandwiches that were huge and so delicious. We went for dinner but I need to go back for breakfast so I can try a Cuban coffee. I’ve heard good things about those coffees.

This Take-Out only eatery makes outstanding Cuban sandwiches and burritos. Don’t be scared away by the location and somewhat confusing signage that may cause you to think that it’s a chemical business rather than a restaurant. I’ve been there to get a bite to eat several times, so far my favorite item was the Cuban Burrito. It’s huge and can feed two if you don’t have a large appetite like me. The Cuban pastries are also delicious. I’ll continue to go back.

My family loved the food but, the service and atmosphere was even better. They were very busy with online orders so you have to be patient. It’s well worth the wait.

Food was bangin'. Pastries were bangin'. Reasonably priced. What's not to like?

Cannot say enough good about the lab bistro. My husband is from south Florida and it gives him a taste of home. We had our wedding recently and used the lab for catering the night before all the food came hot and delicious. Good reviews all around. Thank you!

Not since I've been to Miami FL, have a I had a better Cubano. I ordered from this place on a Whim. Uber Eats was running a special for BOGO on Cubano. I had no idea that I would have enough Sandwich for the week! These are Huge. Pork is tender and flavorful. This is the perfect Cubano!. Also to meet the minimum on my Order I also tried two Empanadas and the Fried Plantains. Let me start with the Empanada, I tried the Beef one first. The Crust is tender and Flakey. A perfect Pie crust. The ground beef inside is perfectly seasoned. This is exactly what you would expect for a beef empanada. The Lime Crema that they served with it is the perfect condiment for this delicious hand pie. Finally the Plantains. Perfectly fried, and seasoned. This was fantastic! I cannot wait to go back. What a find!
