OLD HAVANA CAFE – Spanish
A daytime Cuban cafe on SE Ocean Boulevard in Stuart, open seven until three and run by chef Chuchi Rivero and Patricia Salazar. Mornings are colada, cortadito and cafe con leche pulled from a house Cuban bean blend, alongside guava-and-cheese pastelitos and buttered tostada. Later come ham croquetas, empanadas and pressed sandwiches on Cuban bread: El Cubano, a medianoche on sweet bread, and a frita-style Cuban smash burger of beef, pork and chorizo with potato sticks. Regulars, many of them Miami transplants, say it tastes like home. Small, warm and properly Cuban.
