    Picked up some coffee beans here (500g) on the recommendation of our guide. When I got back home to the states and made an espresso with them I could not believe the flavor, and now I kick myself for not buying 5kg. Most espressos are not well prepared at the Cafes in Cuba (overextracted or too hot), thus the habit of preparing with sugar. Definitely buy your coffee here to take home (bring some large Ziplock bags to double bag it).

    Do not leave Havana without bringing a bag of freshly roasted coffee beans, you will thank me later! Best coffee in Havana!

    Good place for strong coffee and a snack. The ham and cheese sandwich is served on toasted bread and is very good. You can also buy bags of their coffee at a reasonable price however come here early because the bags sell out.
    Don't come here if you're in a rush. This place is very busy and the waiters can get overwhelmed. The coffee is worth the wait!

    Good price for the food. The staff doesn't seem happy to be there but that's a common trait with other restaurants in cuba. That aside, the food was good. I ate there on Halloween night, thus the atmosphere was really good.

    Great location and tasty coffee, that's pretty much it.
    The staff do not really pay any attention to you, and once you are served, they just somehow vanish.
    But if you are looking for a good coffee while walking around, it is the place to go.

    Lovely local cafe in a great spot. The coffee and the milkshakes are really good. The smell of coffee across the square invites you in.

    That small cafe was amazing, we very much liked the coffee cocktails ,I would say it was a unique place to visit to Havana. Would go visit again definitely.
    There was a thing in toilets (not sure what )but we paid extra which was weird but ok.

    We arrived there at 9.30 am the waiters are taking a coffee and smoking but no indication that it's gonna open at 10 am. We asked for coffee and bakery but almost all our choices were not available, and the waitress asked for 6 CUC for 2 coffees and one biscuit, when I asked for the details, she told me it's 4,25 CUC

    Coffee is almost worth the wait and unfriendly staff… but hey, this is Cuba, and you're on Cuba time. Sit down, enjoy the music, and embrace the atmosphere… if you have an hour to spare.

    [EDIT] Also using the toilet costs more than the coffee… customer service, not even once.
