Our History

Cuban coffee, or Café Cubano, has been a cultural staple since the 18th century, introduced by Spanish colonists. Its unique preparation method, adding sugar during brewing, creates a sweet, robust flavor cherished by locals and visitors. This tradition, known as “cafecito,” is integral to Cuban identity and hospitality. At El Cafe Cubano, we’re passionate about preserving this heritage. Our carefully crafted Cuban coffee honors centuries of tradition, offering a taste of Cuba’s vibrant past with every cup. Join us in celebrating the legacy of Cuban coffee with every delicious sip.
