We went their reading good reviews for breakfast, but we're disappointed. The menu and the actual food did not match. The food was very simple and not enough for what the prices are. Food shortage in Cuba is very evident if establishments like El cafe can not procure butter etc.   But being Havana, we didn't think much. The service was good. And the place is nice.

The best breakfast in Cuba.
Love the fresh juice and sandwiches.
I love the pork sandwiches more than chicken sandwiches. Chicken is a little bit dry.

I ate here twice during my time in Havana. The food was decent. There are a lot of flies. They keep the sugar jars open for there flies sitting in the jars all day long. So beware if your going to get a drink because there no sugar in any of them.

This place was dreamy, top to bottom. The Cortados are delicious, the bread is outstanding—it’s baked fresh every day— and what a lovely atmosphere. I was a huge fan of the hummus and toast breakfast, which sounds a little bit strange but was out of this world. The ginger daiquiri was also perfect. It closes a little bit early so I would recommend doing this place for breakfast or lunch.10 out of 10.

Such a cute little cafe in the center of old Havana. I almost walked past it, so be careful to look at the map closely. The coffee was delicious and a great price! We also had sandwiches and the bread was to die for. I had the pulled Pork sandwich and would definitely go back for that. The only coffee shop that had alternative milk for my lactose free friend.
