I love this spot. Plenty of seating to enjoy breakfast and read. Breakfast croissants are awesome and ready fast. They’ll call your order from the back of the room and ask if it’s for here or to go.

Frothiest freshest OJ & grapefruit juice in Silverlake. Also, this is one of the few places I'll still consume dairy, in the form of their guava cheese pastry and the excellent cafe con leche. DO IT!

Offbeat L.A.

Opened 1975. Small, funky corner cafe serving Cuban sandwiches , pastries & café con leche.

Get the Guava and Cheese Pie , a flaky, paper-thin pastry with sweet tangy guava and creamy cheese oozing out from the inside. Read more

Justin Lerner

Strongest espresso on east side (it's Cuban!) and if you get one of their frequent buyer punch cards every 6th coffee is free. Great deal.

Guava . Cheese . Pie . Breakfast sandwiches are great too. Don't forget coffee . Cool decor inside.

LA Home & Style

The Cafe con leche, cuban sandwiches , and the croissants make this a standout in a crowded field of cafes in Sunset Junction for Ali.

New management with better coffee and pastries . Beef pastelito is my fav ❤️

Taylor Loftin

Cafe con leche is delicious - iced or hot - add a dash of cinnamon . Their breakfast sandwiches are the best hangover cure !

The guava and cheese is their signature pastry . Cuban sandwich not especially good here.

AD Nys

is an LA favorite of Bakesale Betty co-owner Michael in Oakland, of fried chicken-sammy fame. His tip: get anything w/ guava . Carrot cake (on the counter, not in case) is bueno too

Coolassmike Bowers

Great pastries . The sandwiches are ok. There coffees are over priced. LOTS OF SMOKERS OUTSIDE! Too bad because they have a great people watching corner!
