Yelper Kristina L., who reviewed Cuba Bakery & Cafe on Aug. 16, wrote, "The food came out quickly, was freshly made and very delicious. We waited for our Cubanos to come out and enjoyed some pastry items. I couldn't believe how large the sandwiches were for the price."
Clement C. noted, "Sandwiches are made fresh on crusty bread. Baked goods and foods keep coming out of the kitchen; you know everything is fresh."

Yvonne H. wrote, "I chose wisely: two chocolate conchas ( they look like seashells) and one pan de muertos ( a special bread made for Day of the Dead). Soft, tasty and of course messy. Wouldn't have it any other way."
