  1. Although this little bakery may be less than half of the famous Porto's, there are a lot of pastry choices and everything tastes great.

Not exactly like Porto's . . .

by cyrinthia22

but still a good alternative. Although this little bakery may be less than half of the famous Porto's, there are a lot of pastry choices and everything tastes great. There is also real food! Havana serves many combination plates which surprised me since it seemed like such a small "bakery." I've only had some pastries, but next time I go, I'll be sure to try actual food since it looked great. The service could be a little slow, even on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn't busy, but still worth it.

  • Pros: a lot of choices for being a small bakery
  • Cons: mediocre service

Great little place

by panchamora

The food here tastes authentic....meals sometimes come with rice and black beans and plantains....the baked goods are sooo good....I love coming here and picking a variety to take home...their cinnamon bread is great with coffee...the smoothies are okay but I really prefer their baked goodies and sandwiches ...

  • Pros: great variety of foods
  • Cons: sometimes wait is too long; staff not courteous

Good Cuban Food

by hamconsulting

My favorite food is the breaded chicken steak, cafe con leche (Cuban latte), and the ropa vieja sandwich. I enjoy the fried plantains, rice, and black beans that come with the food.

The service is sometimes non-chalant, but not always. I wish the waiters were more friendly.

There's a bakery on-site, but I'm not a fan of Cuban pastries. They also have meat empanadas.

  • Pros: Large restaurant, Good parking, Okay value
  • Cons: Mediocre service
