- Kyle ChovanecApril 26, 2013This place is one of my favorites in the loop... Amazing prices for even better [cuban] food. Get the cafecito! One of most unique brews I've had. Well played cafecito!
- Serious EatsMay 13, 2013Cubano: The ingredients work together beautifully—there's subtly spiced roast pork, two layers of ham, acidic pickle slices, piquant mustard, and Swiss cheese that melts into every crevice.
- Robert MeszarosAugust 16, 2016There's always a line. Always. I finally waited got my food and it was worth it. And mind you on for Miami, so I can tell the difference. Prices are good. taste is excellent. The ever present line is
- There's almost a guarantee line 11:45-1:15. It's worth the wait for their consistently fresh food!! This place is definitely my favorite or a great sandwich and coffee at an affordable price!
- Manuel BoscoloNovember 16, 2015Honest affordable food if you're in to get a quick bite or a proper meal... if you're passing by it's a must instead of the big chains polluting out menus... you won't regret it
- Jineen CarcamoMarch 15, 2017Great space, slightly hard to find since it shares an entrance with an apartment building. Came for breakfast - food was great! Cuban coffee was on point!
- AngelaMarch 17, 2015Love love love all the sandwiches here. Don't skip a coffee con leche it's amazing! This tiny place gets a little crazy and hectic during lunch though.
- Samantha RangelOctober 20, 2015They rly know how to manage a crowd here. The line is often out the door with hungry loop business lunchers. Their cortadito is a tad less sweet than the congress location.
- Kyle FowlerJune 30, 2015Get the Cubano. Its like the physical manifestation of the mouth watering visuals from the movie Chef.
- Brian StraussFebruary 24, 2015Came here as an alternative the S-Bucks across the street and stumbled upon a great Cuban sandwich. Excellent Cafe con Leche.
- Corrine TaylorDecember 14, 2015Chicken chimichurri and Cuban coffee are yummy! Also, they have breakfast sandwiches (with or without bread).
- I suggest sitting by the window to enjoy some people watching as well as to glare at those walking into the Starbucks directly across the street while they make the wrong choice.
- Angela LoCiceroApril 26, 2013The Cafe con Leche is amazing, a large is $2.52. Much better coffee and so much cheaper than that other coffee place. :)
- Best coffee deals in The Loop. I always get a double cortadito. And don't forget to get your punch card punched!
- Chicago TribuneJune 22, 2015Cuban spot with good coffee and more than a dozen sandwiches and platters, notably a killer Cubano sandwich. Read more
- Get the Chivito. A lil bit of everything in your sandwich, including a perfectly fried egg! Awesome.
- M DohMay 16, 2021Group of 9 had different sandwiches and platters. All were good. Service and drinks great, too.
- Autumn ChoiMarch 27, 2018Love the cafe con leche and sandwiches but the employees (several) are consistently rude and forget/mess up the order, and all-around unprofessional
- Megan SullivanJune 19, 2013Great prices and delicious! The cafe con leche is so much better than anywhere else, and much better priced !
- Cheryl AnnOctober 3, 2014Cortadito was perfect, not too sweet. And the jerk chicken sandwich is seasoned to perfection!
- Don’t let the long line discourage you, it tends to move fairly quickly.
- Andrew HallMarch 21, 2013The Cubano sandwich by itself comes to $6.05 with tax so be sure to bring a nickel if you hate getting change back like I do
- T-SaxJuly 8, 2013Incredible rice & beans - perfect amount of spice. Ordered with the pollo arugula sandwich which is also great.
- MischaAugust 3, 2015Line during lunch is really long, but will move quickly. There will be someone to ask you for your order, let that improve the waiting time.
- Jillian BurnickasSeptember 15, 2016This place is always packed and for good reason. Order ahead to avoid the wait.
- Terence ChanDecember 18, 2014Decent cubano and cafe de leche. Had better and the sandwich is a tad on the small side. Not a bad experience overall
- TamaraMay 20, 2015Hey Cafecito, you should join Freebie! It’s pretty rad and the benefits are great for both you and me. Check it out!
http://taps.io/freebie - The Choripan is heavenly. Get some hot sauce to go in the back corner.
- Don't let the long line scare you away. Service is quick.
