My coworker and I had struck up a conversation one day around the break table. Both he and I had seen Cuban Cafe while driving by on our daily commutes. On one cold and rainy day in Salem, we finally decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did, for the lunch was great. I grabbed a Chai Tea and it was one of the best I've had in a long time. I was also super surprised at how good the tea was, when paired with the Cuban sandwich. The sandwich was the perfect size, not too big to where I felt overly full. The flavor was great and it had a light but satisfying consistency all throughout the sandwich. I would not say this is a favorite lunch spot, but, I would easily come back again and not eve think twice. Be sure tongive it a try and enjoy the nice and quiet atmosphere.

My husband and I have been visiting this coffee shop for about a year now. We love it EVERY time! We love the food, the cozy atmosphere, great customer service, lovely coffee! The traditonal Cuban coffee is like a sweetened shot of espresso with optional cream in a small cup and is super duper strong. If you want a more familiar coffee or non coffee drinks there are plenty of options. Plenty of yummy food, too! My favorites are the empanadas (shown in pic after opening it, it is like a meat pie) and the tamales. If you want to, you can park for free at the Riverfront Carousel across the street, or on the street around the block, or at the pay parking Air Garage near the intersection of Commercial and State street. This coffee shop is one of the most chill and cheerful spots in downtown Sal

What a great hidden gem! I accidentally stumbled across this place and I am so happy I did! The woman who worked their was incredibly sweet and hospitable. The sandwich was on soft bread filled with flavorful, well seasoned meat! The sandwich was so large that I didn’t finish it! I highly recommend swinging by. I know I’ll be goi ‘n back to try their coffee!

I had a wonderful time here!! I walked in and was pointed to the menu, in which I got my friend and I a Cuban Sandwich. The sandwich reminded me of home and was quite obviously made with love. I also ordered a (very) affordable iced mocha, which tasted better than most of the other coffee shops downtown. The service was fast, and very very kind! I would 100% recommend this place and will be visiting again soon!

Cuban Cafe is amazing. My friends and I drove from Lebanon just to try an authentic Cuban sandwich. The Cubano sandwich here is perfectly delicious. A calm and refreshing atmosphere inside. The service is excellent and the woman who served my friends and I took care of us well. I would have lunch here often if I lived nearby.
