1928 Cuban Bistro - Fernandina Beach

Really cute place with TONS of choices! We didn't get here until about 12:30 on a Sunday and they were already sold out of several of the pastries, but I can understand why. My son got the last coco-guava and I got one of the last 3 guava cheese and they are so fresh and nice filling. The building looks so small, but it's deceptively big inside and very nicely laid out. My son ordered the Medianoche and said the bread was very fresh, lots of meat, and even the mustard was really good. My husband got a chicken and a shrimp empanada. The chicken was very full, but a little dry. The avocado sauce it came with helped it a lot. The shrimp was very good even though he was surprised the pieces of shrimp were so tiny. I got the queso fritos and they were amazing! I'm guessing they are just deep fr

This Cuban cafe has delicious pastries and wonderful Cuban coffee. The staff is excellent! They were friendly, helpful and happy to answer questions about menu items. The cortadito — while served in a larger size than I’m used to — was amazing!

This small establishment provides rich flavors of Cuba. A tribute to Cuban heritage. The history of this place honors the journey of Mario Alvarado and his wife as they fled Cuba in 1961, to the United States where they found opportunity and safety. 1928 Bistro was created by their grand daughter. The vibrant interior colors transports one back through the years. The aroma of freshly brewed espresso made my hubby order coffee. My son ordered Cuban sandwiche, I always default to empanadas, hubby ordered beef burger. All were quite delicious

The best Cuban sandwich I have ever had. Bread was excellent and pulled pork was really moist and delicious 😋!! Also bought a chicken empanada and again it exceeded expectations 😋 just like the Cuban sandwich. My wife and I split it and was just the right size. (New years resolution was to watch portion size ✔️)

A casual and friendly environment that serves home-made quality Cuban foods. We enjoyed eating their sandwiches, rice platters, and empanadas.
