OK, I must say I went there without any expectation. Went for the basic traditional Media Noche sandwich. Wasn’t really expecting anything superior to any other one that I’ve had. Will honestly say it was the best Media Noche I’ve ever had. I’ve been eating the sandwich since 1990 when I moved down to Miami. Always got a flat pressed decent to good tasting sandwich. What I ate today was nothing short of outstanding. Really surprised that I have not heard of this place before. The sandwich was so meat filled. Hints a fat here and there just to bring extra flavor to the sandwich. Everything was so tender and properly cooked. My review is solely based off of this sandwich. Would definitely eat the sandwich again. I was originally gonna go for a Cuban. Yet I introduced my friend to the media Noche. So just to go along with him I said let me have one myself. Was not flat pressed. In height, I can compare it to a burger length was just as good as any other Media noche sandwich. Everything was right the amount of condiments, pickles, and cheese. Gotta say it was really flavorful. Crazy how you can eat this sandwich for over 30 years and always come across one that has been better than all the ones you’ve previously had.

I ordered a classic dish the pan con tortilla and it did not disappoint! There was no wait, the food came out quickly, and it was super tasty. You can tell they really know how to make the classics right. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

me, Jenn Lee property manager at Turtle Nest Bungalow review: Colada Cuban Café is a quick under-5-minute drive from our short-term rental and a classic South Florida stop you really shouldn’t skip. When you’re here, Cuban coffee is a must, and Colada delivers on that front along with a wide variety of specialty Cuban and Latin favorites.

I tried the bacon & egg breakfast sandwich — it was a bit overpriced, but the Cuban bread was the real standout and absolutely delicious. In hindsight, I should’ve leaned more into their bakery items, which is really where this place shines: croquetas, empanadas, tequeños (Latin-style cheese sticks), and fritas are all crowd favorites and perfect for a quick bite or sharing.

If you’re visiting Fort Lauderdale and want an authentic Cuban coffee experience with classic comfort foods, Colada Cuban Café is worth the stop. ☕

Stopped by Colada Cuban Bakery in Fort Lauderdale and ordered ahead online, placing my order about 15 minutes in advance. Unfortunately, it still took a very long time to get my food once I arrived. The shop felt clearly understaffed, and the pace was slow despite having a preorder ready.

The space is cute and has a nice vibe, and I can see the potential here, but the wait time really took away from the experience—especially when ordering ahead is supposed to save time. With better staffing and faster execution, this could easily be a stronger spot.

So I ordered the churrasco wrap to go. I guess they were out of steak because they gave me some compressed chewy flattened type of sausage. It was definitely not steak. $17 and over $21 out the door. With tax and tip. Thanks for the disappointing experience. I will never come back.

Good place, the colada cuban breakfast wrap was delicious. My iced latte was a bit sweet even though I specified to not add a lot of caramel flavor. Overall, service was quick, and we had a good first time experience visiting this location in Fort Lauderdale.

We split the Havana hangover breakfast sandwich, it was delicious if you love flavor this is your place. The empanadas are on point beef and chicken both.

3/21/25—-I woke up today with a strong craving for a good Cuban café con leche and a crispy tostada. Google told me the closest spot near my hotel, so I followed the map like a hungry explorer. My husband had a business lunch, but he kindly dropped me off and even shared a quick coffee with me before rushing off to talk numbers and shake hands.

So there I was—alone but not lonely—ready to enjoy my Cuban breakfast adventure. The place was buzzing with people when I arrived. Parking is in the back, and there are a few chairs and tables outside. Dogs are allowed too, but only the well-behaved, non-service ones get the VIP sidewalk seating.

This café is not your grandma’s Cuban corner restaurant. It’s like if a Cuban abuela met Starbucks and they opened a place together. Very modern, very “Café Havana meets trendy brunch spot.” I asked for scrambled eggs and tostadas, but somehow I ended up with a sandwich. Did I complain? No. I’m too wise for that. I simply took it apart like a sandwich surgeon and ate my eggs and tostada separately. Sandwiches just don’t speak to my soul.

Still, everything I ordered was delicious—the croquetas, the empanadas, and even the rice pudding I took to-go. Oh, and the orange juice? So fresh it probably had dreams of being an orange just five minutes before.

The vibe? Think less salsa, more jazzy-pop fusion. It’s Cuban, but it’s also… eclectic. It’s got that “Starbucksy” feel, but with way better food. I did wonder for a second, “Is this one of those Americanized Cuban spots?” But it’s not trying too hard. It’s walking the line, and I respect that.

I sat outside, ordered my Lyft, and waited 18 minutes—just enough time to soak in the vibe, people-watch, and pretend I’m a mysterious local on a breakfast mission. My only suggestion? During the busy hours, a second register would help move things along. But hey, they’re not Dunkin’.

Final word: Good food. Good vibe. Worth the visit. Would recommend—especially if you’re okay eating a sandwich… your own way.

So I’ll start off that I love the food and the coffee. When it comes to service, it’s where this place fails. It used to be great, you’d be treated with a smiling face saying good morning. Lately though…. no one smiles, you stand around waiting on take-out orders (no call out system) unless you’re watching for your own food. Bad energy these days and taking my business somewhere else until someone takes responsibility and manages their store. You are in the service industry, please do better so I can return to enjoy the food.
