I have never had Cuban coffee before, and darn, was it delicious here. So delicious, in fact, that in my 5 day trip, I had it 3 times. What is Cuban coffee, you might ask. Sugar in espresso, sweetened as it's being brewed (as opposed to after). On top of the coffee, I also had the elephant ear pastries, which are sticky and flaky - just like they're supposed to be. It's easily accessible off Del Prado, and it has a wide variety of pastries and food. But seriously, that coffee.... read more

Love Cuban sandwiches and we found this place on Yelp. I ordered a variety of food (recommended by woman at the counter) in addition to the sandwiches. The Sandwiches were HUGE (I ordered 1 for each person and 3 of us split 1 sandwich). We came too late in the day and most of the bakery items were one (sadly). We will come again! read more

Fabulous authentic Cuban sandwich! Called and ordered for pick up, ready to go when I arrived, staff very pleasant, restaurant neat and clean. Will definitely return. read more

The minute you walk in to Azucar you will wonder if you are still in Cape Coral at all. Its cozy atmosphere including pictures signed by celebrities hanging on the wall, light piano ensemble playing in the background and intimate pastel-like interior reminded me of a restaurant one might see in a movie. We were immediately greeted and told that we could sit where we wanted. Our drinks came shortly thereafter. The menu was simple, but had an ample offering. I went with the day's special (shredded beef and 2 sides). My partner ordered the house sandwich (a traditional Cuban topped with Romaine lettuce, tomato and a thin slice of grilled steak). The beef plate was delicious. The tasty white rice and fried plantains were a perfect complement. In turn, I had the great fortune of getting a piece of what would turn out to be *the* best Cuban sandwich I have ever tasted. As if the wonderful food and exemplary service were not enough, the reasonable pricing at Azucar makes it a true find for good Cuban food in Cape Coral. read more

4 stars for an authentic Cuban restaurant from the moment you walk in! A more casual restaurant/bakery setting --- you have a bakery/to-go section as well as a sit down restaurant area (no outdoor seating though). I was only planning on grabbing a light bite to go, but once I came into the restaurant it was too cute not to stay for a little. Old-fashioned Spanish decor made up the dining area, with framed pictures of Cuban celebrities scattered about on the walls as Cuban music played overhead. Very simple overall, but true to what I believe dining in a restaurant in Cuba would feel like. I really just wanted to grab something quick, so I went with the Empanada De Pollo Y Queso and it did not disappoint! The empanada was the size of my hand and stuffed to capacity with super flavorful chicken and a melty cheese for a mere $3.95. The empanada shell did not crumble, nor was it too hard to bite into. Perfect balance! Their bakery display was quite inviting, so I had to try one of the desserts/pastries as well. I went with the Coconut Pastry, since I love me some coconut! The pastry was quite large, flaky, and sticky. It was just ok, nothing I would write home about. But again, very inexpensive. The rest of the menu looked super yummy and of course was filled with classic Cuban dishes at very reasonable prices. I snuck a peak at the table next to me and their sandwich looked hearty and delicious. The service was pleasant and accommodating. There was one girl working both the bakery and the sit-down restaurant. She held it all together nicely as it got a bit busier. The parking outside in a lot is simple enough, but the signage for the restaurant is a bit difficult to find off the main street. It's in a small strip mall off Del Prado and the name gets lost easily as you drive by. While I wasn't super impressed with their baked goods, I look forward to coming back and sitting down for a full lunch or dinner sometime soon! read more

Amazing, delicioso y rico! Tienen muchos sabores de helados y típicos de Puerto Rico!

Authentic home style Cuban: good portions, good prices. Not your fancy schmancy (so no five), but clean, friendly, family style. No dig on them at all. Mojo sauce had some serious garlic, LOL. read more

When ever I get down to Cape Coral I stop here for a Cuban Sandwich. Their's are super. Last trip my Niece and I came in near closing time but they were gracious and we got wonderful service. She had a Cuban soup that she said was delicious. Of course, we couldn't leave without getting a couple of their pastries. Can't say enough about how nice the people that own/work there are. read more

Lets put it simple.If you are cuban and live in the USA you probably share the frustration of going to "fancy Cuban restaurants"only to discover they have anything but real Cuban food.Tamales ,very few offer,croquetas neither.Soft yuka ,dont bother.Dont take me wrong some of those restaurant are very busy and successful business(ex.Colombia in Tampa,Sarasota and Clear water ). They are relative expensive but very busy .People like it and im happy for them.But is not Cuban food.The roast pork is not even close.Almost nothing is like cuban.There is not even cuban people working there.If you are not cuban you dont know how we like to eat.So i give the restaurant Azucar the highest score.Because of the food,the people and the menu.If Celia were still with us and had the opportunity the eat there one thing come to my mind,She would scream "AZUCAR". One advice :increase your price. read more

First time here today and it won't be my last. I'm new to area and have driven by the place countless times without giving it a second thought. It's in a small strip mall very close to Palaco Grande. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The food was flavorful and the prices were reasonable. I would really give it 4 1/2 stars. The staff seemed a little confused or distracted, like maybe one of them was new, our drinking water was warm and we had to ask for ice, but the food overcame any minor issues, and they were minor. At the end, we each thought our meal was excellent. The food came out quickly, and the portion size was perfect - there were no left overs to take home and we were full. read more

While visiting Fort Myers Beach, we found this little hidden gem in Cape Coral. The food was excellent, we had the churrasco, lechon asado and the milanesa de pollo. For dessert, we had the flan which was out of this world. Our 6 year old loved the food but really enjoyed his interaction with Annalis. The food was great but the service was over the top! read more

Excellent breakfast and service. Nice clean place. Very reasonable prices and really nice bakery. Definitely going to try dinner next.

Lousy lousy lousy ! Like the famous saying goes: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king! It's the only game in town, and the high ratings come from people who likely don't have much else to use as reference. I am visiting from Miami, where Cuban restaurants are abundant, and am used to genuinely good Cuban cuisine. I can tell you that this one is NOTHING to write home about! read more

The best Cuban sandwich in Cape Coral Nice clean place where the service is nice and friendly prices are fair and I will return Ian's recommend this place to all who enjoy Cuban food read more

Just stoped by for a quick bite. I ordered the Frita. Wow. Was delicious and really big. Great food i recommend.

A small/quaint Cuban bakery that serves delicious food at a very reasonable price. They have daily lunch specials usually priced around $5.95 and include traditional dishes like Fricasse de Pollo and Ropa Vieja. The dinner menu is very extensive and has seafood, chicken, beef, and pork offerings. I've been searching for a replacement for Azucar in Southern CA,and after 10 months I still haven't found it. read more

My first time at this place I ordered a croqueta preparada sandwich the pork in the sandwich was bad smelled bad it was nauseating Never will I be back read more

As a Cuban, I have never been able to find good authentic Cuban food, but when I stopped into Azucar the food was amazing. I had the pleasure of having Gaby as my server. She was constantly coming up and checking on me. Gaby refilled our drinks promptly and kept a good conversation with us even with the restaurant being busy. I would definitely come back and hopefully have Gaby as my waitress again! read more

Best Breakfast in Cape Coral. Prices are good and service is excellent. Clean and neat. Best coffee as well, both american and Cuban. Their lunches and dinners are wonderful as well. Baked goods as well that are made on premises, though my blood sugar does not let me indulge. We go there weekly, at least, and have never been disappointed. Breakfast specials are cheap and other meals are very reasonably priced. Family that owns it had a major Cuban Restaurant on the West Side of Manhattan, before coming here. They know quality and service. read more

Maybe it's because it's been a while since I've had real Cuban food (let's not point fingers but there's a lack in a certain city of genuine Hispanic food overall), but this place stole my heart. The Ropa Vieja was just the perfect level of flavor, moistness, and amount at a cheap price!!! And considering we came as a table of 13 without any warning, the service was speedy, friendly, and very accommodating. I would really strive to write a longer review but this is a place where seeing is believing (just go an experience it! You won't regret it and your wallet will thank you!). Their bakery is pretty good too! I just wish they had more guava pastries. read more

Ola! Well let me start this off by saying this. I come to realize I am not a fan of Cuban cuisine . I love Cuban coffee and the roasted pig. It stops for me there. I have been here twice. Both times the people and service are outstanding. Now to the food. The quality is excellent/ BUT the pastries are not very sweet and there is TOO much guava offered. Cuban sandwiches are just ham and cheese with a slice of pork. The bread though crunchy on outside and fluffy inside it is verrrrrrrrrry plain like wonder bread. I was adventurous and tried the Spanish omelet. It was terrible. It was like eating a pancake style omelet incorporated with ham & what I think was a chorizo sausage . TOO well done and arid to my taste buds. So I really did not enjoy my meal. Oh yes I did not ask for hot sauce. I tried what was on the table. Peso Pete I think a Louisianan style sauce. Tasted like a tobasco wayyyy too much vinegar. Oh yes they gave me these potato stixs. The kind that are in the can at the supermarket . THAT JUST PLAIN SUCKS . My bill came under 10 bucks so not too bad. And like I said great service. read more

Excellent breakfast and service. Will come again! The cafe con leche and croquetas were great.

The staff is lovely and the cafe con leche is delicious. But the pastries are overly sugary and breakfast ends too early.

Fantastic breakfast here at this small but excellent bakery/ restaurant! Wonderful tamale, soft and tasty. Family members had empanadas (beef) that were delicious; potatoe ball and croquettes didn't disappoint either. Topping it all off wad fresh Cuban bread served with guaca preserves - homemade! I would move here to try everything! Bakery had fantastic variety of Cuban desserts. Cuban bread was crusty outside and soft inside - perfect! read more

Disagree with this is the worst place ever. This is a restaurant that has pride in what they do. They have worked hard to provide service throughout this pandemic. There has been a sign on the door Now Hiring. With government offering unemployment, double food stamp, and you can't get evicted if your rent who wants to work. The owners of this restaurant work hard and are very personable. The food is authentic and is very good. read more

Super nice staff. Food was terrific. Bakery looked delicious. Definitely worth stopping in.

Food was pretty good but the service was lacking. While the waitresses were nice, they got 2 out of 3 orders wrong as it related to our sides. The Piccadillo Habanero was good but I really wished it had raisins & olives in it. The ham & cheese sandwich was great! The bread must have been homemade. The pork chunks & sweet plantains were great too!!! I will try this restaurant again, read more

Phenomenal authentic Cuban food. Great service. Large portions. Empanadas were fresh, hot and flavorful. Cuban sandwich is enough for 2 people. Definitely will be back. read more

Stopped by while vacationing in the area. Picked up some quick items for a to-go bfast. The ham croquettas are cooked at the moment you order which beats other cuban bakeries that cook them early AM then sit there all day or even some from day before. They were fresh, very tasty and nicely warm. The cuban toast was just ok-the butter tasted a lil funky. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a must! Delicious and fresh! 4 stars bc of the toast and it was a bit warm inside. Staff is friendly and following social distance. read more

I have had better Cuban food in a ghetto ass place than this place and for cheaper! My god, it was so greasy and the grease doesn't taste good. The tostada was the only thing not greasy because they didn't put enough butter on it. It needed salt. The hash brown was a gross patty with little flavor and too expensive for how much food it was and too much grease. The pastries taste weird because of the grease they use. Don't waste your time going there, take a day off to go to Miami and eat good Cuban food. read more

One of those rarely full spots where you think - why is this place not packed? The breads and baked goods are amazing, and the food is really delicious. The owner is sweet and attentive, and the wait time is generally a non issue for dinner. After a long business trip and travel day home, I dont want to stop at a loud chain restaurant or have a wait. Azucar is where go when my wife picks me up from the airport. Give it a shot! read more

Worst service ever!!!! After sitting for 15 minutes, the waitress finally brought us a menu. We ordered one Cuba coffee and one American coffee. 15 more minutes went by and she came to take our order. We mentioned we still hadn't received our coffee. She came back 10 minutes later with our breakfast (I'm sorry, but I said no bacon...my plate went back). Still no coffee! My plate returned and we ate before it got cold. After we finished our breakfast and complained (again)about not getting our coffee (or anything to drink.... not even water!), she informed us the coffee machine was broke! Really? To make matters worse, I was charged for the bacon I did not order and did not eat!! Will never return! The Cuban coffee we finally received was not good. All in all one of the most unpleasant dinning experiences I have ever had. read more
