“The grits were absolutely out of this world.”
A cozy, family-run Cuban cafe tucked into Windover Square in West Melbourne, serving breakfast and lunch staples: pressed sandwiches, pastelitos, eggs, and Cuban coffee, hecho con sazón.
Guests say it feels like breakfast at your Cuban grandparents' house. We take that as the highest compliment.
Espresso pulled short and sweet. Steamed milk poured slow. Coladas for the table, and a cortadito to sip while the eggs land.

“The service and staff were excellent. The food was tasty with generous portions. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, the steak sandwich, and the Pollo empanada with jugo de chinola. This place is definitely 100% worth your time and money.”
“Very delicious and fresh Cuban food. The grits were absolutely out of this world. We asked how they made them with such a sweetness and they told us that's how they taste using fresh corn! Great hash browns, ropa vieja as well. We left happy and full and will be back!”
“Perfect hidden spot! Only hesitation to share my experience is because it is soo good! Made me feel like I was visiting my Cuban grandparents in Miami. I bought the last of the croquettes and pastries in the case. Can't wait to go back.”
