  • Eleni Barla

Awful experience. Ordered chicken which was recommended to us by the waiter. Nothing special for the food itself though at the end we had to pay 12 CUC, almost that is 12 Euro, for it, which is more than what the shrimps or lobster cost at the same place. The price was nowhere in the menu so we were obviously fooled.

Siendo argentinos nos hospedamos en el Nacional y este café está a sólo unos pasos. Déjenme decirles que la comida es excelente, buen precio y el ambiente que se respira es muy agradable. No esperen nada lujoso, porque no lo necesita. Si paran en el Nacional separen una noche para ir que no se van a arrepentir.

Vine aquí por las opiniones positivas de los demás sobre el desayuno. Las fotos no se corresponden a lo que después sirven. La calidad de la fruta y el trato del camarero es lo único que puedo recomendar de este sitio, el resto no merece la pena y es caro en comparación con otros sitios.

Me and my friend were super hungry. If you’re vegetarian or Vegan. This place is for you. As vegetarian you’ll have multiple options to choose. Great people.Fantastic Food with super host. Google has an option to give only 5 star rating but they deserved more than that.… Más

Not an easy thing to find a good food in Cuba. That's why we visited California Cafe almost every day since we were 100% sure that we will leave satisfied. The food is very good and prices are reasonable. I especially recommend breakfast. I also need to mention very nice staff.

  • Marion Huber

It is quite difficult to find vegetarian (not to mention vegan) food in cuba, but this place offers a few very good options. We went there at least 5 times! The food is really tasty, but quite pricey as well. The staff is very friendly and recognizes you, if you visit again.

  • Garry Robertson

Don’t very often write reviews but found this place in Havana. First stopped for a Mojito had the best. Mojitos ever returned twice more over 2 days had the most amazing tacos and then returned to try fajitas and was fresh hot and spicy deffo will return one day 5 stars

  • Martín F. Díaz

The tostones rellenos were superb. Also, if you were looking for the most bang for your buck with respect to breakfast this is the place: eggs, juice, coffee, ham, bread, honey and a small bowl of fruit. All of it for under 3 dollars and good quality as well. Más

  • Adrián Hernando

¡Un sitio fantástico! La comida es de excelente calidad, MUY por encima de la media de Cuba, y con precios muy, muy bajos. El ambiente también genial, con música en vivo y camareros atentos y rápidos. Si estás buscando algo por la zona no dudes en venir aquí.

I am so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around the neighborhood we stayed in. The workers are so nice and friendly. We ended up going not once, but TWICE! Daiyron, our server, was so friendly. Be sure to have him as your… Más

So happy to have caught the opening week, what luck! I used to frequent this cafe years ago while living in Havana, I was sad when it closed but am happy to see it back after the pandemic with some of my old friends still there and some new… Más

cute place, but i ordered the veggie tower specifically because of the eggplants, and they just brought out one that had completely different ingredients, which didn’t taste bad, but not nice either. I know that the food situation is tough… Más

El ambiente era animado y con buena energía. No estaba increíblemente ocupado, así que fue como si recibiésemos nuestro propio concierto. ¡La gente que actuó fue increíble y seguramente debería haber estado en America's Got Talent! ¡Vale… Más

From the waitstaff to the bartenders, everyone here is super chill, friendly, and welcoming. Almost everyone here speaks english, which is very helpful when trying to navigate havana for the first time. The food is amazing, with many… Más

Overall, the food is good. I rate the food 8/10. However, the exchange rate is really bad. 1 CAD = 50 CUP while at other restaurants, 1 CAD = 150-180 CUP at the time we were here. You should prepare enough cuban peso for your meal . Más

  • JF Marchant

We frequented this super chill establishment every day! Wonderful staff and a kitchen that does a lot with the available Cuban ingredients. Tostones Rellenos are not to be missed. Delicious fried plantain with jamon y queso inside!… Más

Estuvimos bien atendidos por los meseros, la comida está fresca y rica con porciones adecuadas y los precios económicos. Repetimos dos veces después que fuimos la primera vez, el mejor desayuno que hemos comido en el Vedado. Más

We tried some food here and it was good ! Given what they have available, they did make some good vegetarian food, with lots of options. First visit was okay. We weren't blown away or anything. The second time the… Más

delicious vegan food! we loved the vegetable skewers and the coconut water with limeade. the veggie sandwich was better with hot sauce and the fritters i would pass on all together if i were to return. all in all 9/10

  • Steven Greener

Refreshingly flavourful food in Cuba. Delicious servings of fresh fusion dishes in a comfortable outdoor setting. The local musicians added to the ambiance. Have the fish tacos.

  • Ewald Van Der Helm

We ate here tonight as it was a place that had a couple of vegetarian dishes. It is a small restaurant a bit out of central havana with a small outdoor terrace.… Más

Sitio muy acogedor y con opciones veganas. Probamos el arroz con verduras, los tacos con queso, el humus y la hamburguesa vegana, todo muy rico. Gracias! Más

Highly recommended if you’re visiting Havana! We went here everyday during our stay. Loved the hospitality of the servers and workers. Food is great! Más

  • Sarah Rashid

The staff is lovely, the cocktails are well made, the food is good and it’s close to the Malecon. Def my favourite place of my Cuban trip :)

  • Raj Patel

Rip off cafe!! About ten days ago charged us 83 Euros for a 8300 Cuban peso meal whilst the official rate was about €1=150 pesos. Más

  • Sugeili Trujillo

El sabor es bueno, aunque las porciones en específico del arroz con frijoles (moros y cristianos) es muy pequeña

  • Mary Gagné

Excellent food and service! Staff is really nice and friendly! You should stop by to eat and drink something!
