Babalu's Cuban Cafe

Fabolous food and services, a must visit. Saw this place about a month ago but did not have time to stop; major mistake. Came back with the wife and we were served by the owner, Frank. Very welcoming, patient, and gracious man. He gave us the time to peruse the menu and answered all our questions. We had a Cubano sandwich and a plate of Arroz con Pollo. Both were fresh, and delicious. I had a Cortadito with 1/2 the sugar as I typically drink black coffee. Coffee was delightful and just the right sweet. Go for no sugar if you like black coffee and choose to enjoy it with a Pastellito. The smooth blend of coffee they serve would balance well with the sweetness of the pastry. All of the food is scratch made with fresh ingredients. Seek them out as this is a highly recommend place for lunch.

I’ve craved good Cuban coffee and pastries ever since my time in Miami. This place didn’t disappoint. One sip of the cafe con leche sent me to cloud 9. And the pastries are sublime. I can’t wait to go back. I only wish I found this place sooner!!

Went in today for the Cubano. It was delicious, full of slow roasted pork and ham, cheese, pickles and mustard pressed and griddled! So yummy. It's $13 but big enough to share. Can't wait to try the empanadas but what I am hoping for is that they get a fry daddy and make some croquettes! 🤫 The atmosphere is so cute, lots of Lucy and Desi❣️

I love the location of this place. Tucked inside a cute indoor shopping area, this was a great place to stop in for a late lunch. The food here is fantastic and bursting with flavor. The empanadas are small hand held size, I’d say 2-3 are filling. I got 2 empanadas with the citrus dipping sauce and it punches with flavor (I love citrus flavors). I also got the Media Noche, and it was a perfect Cuban sandwhich. The homemade bread with the contents of the sandwhich together were easy to hold onto and eat. Not a messy sandwhich at all but very filling and the taste was great. They also have pastries that we tried and those are just as good, will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. I highly recommend this place, the staff were also incredibly nice, and food came out quickly! (

Stopped in with a coworker for lunch. Excellent empenadas with tasty unique dipping sauce. Delicious Cubano sandwiches. Friendly and fast service. Highly recommended, we were both very impressed.
