★★★★★ 5.0 Nicole Sazonov · Jan 2026

The food was delicious and a great value. I could probably eat a bucket of that moros rice. Cuban coffee was excellent too. Service was great - the lady at the front showed me all the dishes and explained each one which was very helpful. Highly recommend!

One of the best cuban sandwiches I've ever had! Large sandwich so shared with my husband. We also got a side of black beans, which were so flavorful and amazing! Pastries are also really good and flaky. Cuban coffee also very delicious. Will definitely be back multiple times!

Found this gem of a cafe on the way home from a Key West visit. Service was amazing! Our breakfast was served within just a few minutes of ordering. While the menu is small, it is perfected. My breakfast sandwich was huge (it could have fed four people) and especially delicious on Cuban bread. The staff was friendly and customer oriented. The coffee drinkers in our group were very happy! Great place!!

Really liked the Cuban sandwich and my wife said her Turkey Club on Cuban bread was fantastic.

Made a random stop at LJ's Cafe, let me say I was surprised to see a great Cuban Cafe down in the Keys. 5/5 service! They made my croquetas quickly, hot & ready! The coffee was perfect. Thank you to the staff!
