Cafe Cuba Cakes - Hawthorne

I am Cuban and this is the closest Cuban eatery to me. The food is great but be very careful and pay attention to your bill. I was over charged by $10. The receipts don?t show exactly what your ordering so they input it manually with generic descriptions.Once I got home and compared the charges to the online prices, I was overcharged. What a shame.

Having been to Cuba, I can definitely see how this is an important place where people go to connect to the culture and vibrancy of the island nation. The coffee, the sandwiches, a few grocery items really took me back to my visit and the Cuban coffee wasjust like I?d had both in Cuba and at cafes in Miami. The free WiFi is nice if you have to work for a few minutes while there!Lots of seating makes it easy to find an open table and if you pay by cash, you can avoid the small fee added to card payments.

Poor service and rude staff. I went in today to buy some pastries. This was not a busy time, There were two workers in front, and two customers who were already seated and drinking coffee. I had requested the guava tarts without cream cheese, notrealizing they had large and small ones. When she reached for the larger ones, I said Oh I am sorry I wanted the small roundones. She proceeded to shake her head, giving me an even more sour look and apparently not realizing I spoke Spanish I clearlyheard her mumble these people have to make me work more . If I wasn 't buying these to take home to my daughter for herbirthday, I would have walked out. I will find another Cuban bakery and won 't be back.

First time at this restaurant. Got a Cuban sandwich and a pastry. Both excellent

Especially kind service and great food! Had a work lunch here for a party of 6 and took care of us very easy. Feels like being in your Aunt's kitchen.
