As someone from Miami I'm always missing it, and this is the perfect to come when I'm missing Miami. From the colors, the music, the staff it's perfect. It's well kept and airy. We were greeted with a smile and had our order taken quickly. I got a café con leche which tasted just like home and who doesn't love a little design on their coffee. Their quesito was so warm I had no complaints about it. It's right by across from the Advent Health Main Campus so it's the perfect place to stop by for break!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone :) read more

All in all, a great couple of Cuban Sandwiches for carry out lunch while at the medical center across the street. Tasty, stuffed and hot, each sandwich could have been shared. I could've done without the additional $10 in charges from Uber Eats to place the order online, but not the restaurant's fault. Will definitely be back. I'll call my order in! read more

I highly recommend Cindy's! I have had many Cuban sandwiches in Central Florida and these are the best! The pork is amazing as is the ham. Great pickles and the bread is so so good. Great service and Cindy is awesome. They are only open Monday through Friday but man the food is great as well as the at home feel. Don't forget the Cuban coffee. It's the real deal! If you are in that part of town it's well worth a visit. Tight parking but easily managed. I can't wait to go try other dishes. read more

Cindy's Café Authentic Cuban Kitchen - Outstanding - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was so excited to be off on a weekday to try this place! The service was excellent and once my friend arrived we ordered at the counter and found a seat. The coffee and food were made fresh and the decor was simple but cute. The inside had a few tables, and since it was raining no one was outside. It was a quiet, homey spot in the middle of downtown. I really enjoyed the flavors of my food and having delicious Cuban coffee and Cuban bread. The All In was a nice portion with a little bit of everything. The coffee was sweet without being too sweet. I also tried the guava and cheese pastry which was good! I will be back as soon as I can! read more

Wow this place is a perfect balance of simple and cheap yet so tasty. It's got a great atmosphere in the cafe and a super nice staff that is very helpful. I came here for breakfast and got the omelette with Turkey, Spinach, Sweet Plantains and Swiss cheese as well as a cafe con leche. I've had better Cafe Con Leche before, but it was still very very good here. The omelette was amazing, I had never had sweet plantains in an omelette before and they were so incredibly sweet and flavorful. I also tried the oatmeal and it was amazing for oatmeal. I don't know if they make the hot sauce in house or anything but even that was great. All in all super authentic place and I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu that looked great. read more

We did breakfast and it missed the mark. Everyone was nice but the girl at the front didn't know how to explain anything on the menu and ultimately we just ordered a simple breakfast plate. The potatoes were different, maybe the oil? Maybe deep fried? We talked to others and apparently the Cubans and coffee is unreal so we will have to try again, not for breakfast. read more

Absolutely delicious and so easy to work with. Cindy and her team catered my son's graduation dinner. Everybody was raving about the food, especially her rice. Oh my goodness so good. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! I didn't see a parking lot so I parked in the hospital parking garage but man is that walk worth it! I tried the media noche sandwich, a picadillo empanada, and finished it off with a café con leche. The hours are a little tricky but if you can get in before they close, I highly recommend! read more

So glad I had a chance to try this place. I had bookmarked it and a doctor's appointment across the street gave me a chance to stop by without dealing with parking (which is free at the hospital lot a block away or on the street). I purchased a bocadillo, medianiche, 2 types of croquettes and two rice/yuca balls with meat. They were able to accommodate my butter sensitivity which was great. I got everything to go and we loved it all. The subs were large and we had leftovers. The fried items were still warm and delicious after a 30 min trip (I do have an ice less 'cooler' which helps keep items warm or cold). It's a super cute, yet unassuming, place with an excellent menu, really delicious food and incredibly nice people. We ate everything so fast that I didn't get pics but there are plenty on here! read more

Great Customer service. Mrs. Susana was very nice and patient explained to me about all the delicious goodies they had :) I got a 2 expresso shot, a Cuban melted grilled cheese and a quesito with cheese inside :) Everything was so delicious, oops, I got some extra quesitos to take home too. Definitely recommend if you around the area. Hope my comments helps you to make a good choice for your breakfast and thanks for reading too :) read more

I love cuban food -- I've had better bistec to be honest. Everything else was pretty okay and overall I enjoyed my visit especially the cafe con leche, it was really well made. Good spot to grab something for lunch since they do have sandwiches that look pretty tasty. Staff was friendly and attentive! The restaurant itself is on a busy street with an outside patio area which was really nice. read more

Tampa native and raised on authentic Cuban. Living in lake mary the closest is sandwiches on the run in Casselberry. Cindy's though was excellent. Was at FLH for doctor and happened to find this. Had a regular Cuban pressed. Very good. Yellow rice was fresh and soft and black beans were good. Plantains were very good. Only thing that could make it better? True Deviled Crabs like we get in Tampa. read more

With the convenience of Cindy's being close to work, I like to stop in for a breakfast sandwich or lunch. I usually like to call in my order for breakfast on the way in to work, and it may be ideal to call in for lunch as well, especially during peak time. It can get pretty crowded. It is a small café with a nice patio to eat outside as well. Cindy and her staff are always friendly and pleasant. The food is normally pretty good. I did have baked chicken that had a bit too much salt, but nothing to complain about other than that. My go-to is a breakfast sandwich with turkey, egg, and provolone on Cuban bread. Cindy's is definitely one of the better options in the area, and who doesn't love Cuban food?? Be sure to stop in and pay Cindy a visit and support local business! read more

Stopped here on Friday 11/13 for a quick bite. We were greeted promptly. The staff Was friendly. They gave us a few suggestions to try out. We ordered bistec con cebolla and a medianoche. The food is freshly prepared and it was tasty. The place was quaint, next to the Advent Health Hospital on Robinson. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the food and the wonderful aroma of Cuban coffee. Overall: we would stop by again? Yes!!! read more

Amazing amazing amazing! One of my favorite breakfast places to go to since it's just 5 mins away. Always greeted with a warm smile and hello to. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Gotta show this place some love because I have been a customer since they were on Virginia Ave. The staff is all welcoming and friendly, the food is excellent and the cafe con leche is on point. I love the homestyle cooking that Cindy's offers. Growing up, my front door neighbors were Cuban and spoiled me with the best home cooking and Cindy's really reminds me of that. They offer the usual Cuban fare: rice, beans, pernil pork, rotisserie chicken, plantains, picadillo, cuban sandwiches, quesitos, coffee, etc. - it just all feels like your abuelita made it. The space can seat about 20 or so people and the patio can fit about 10 more people. Parking is located directly in the back but can only accommodate a few cars at a time. It looks like there's a lot a little further behind the building but I usually have luck behind the restaurant. Be careful when pulling in since there's a narrow one-car strip of pavement that leads to the back. There are also usually pedestrians/nurses/doctors from the nearby hospital walking on the sidewalk that crosses the restaurant as well so be sure to watch out for them. If you're at the Florida Hospital and want something other than the hospital food or Panera, go and support Cindy's Cafe, I think you'll really enjoy their food :) read more

My second venture into lunch here, both times I got the same meal and both times I was really nicely filled up with the amount of food served. Ordered the pernil with yellow rice, black beans, ripened and sweet plantains and a side salad. $9.5. Today I also got a quesito (pastry made of sugared cream cheese) $1.50 The beans had just the right amount of sauce which coated the rice when I poured them over. The pernil was not dry which is a plus, though I would've liked a bit more seasoning on it, personal preference. The side salad was crisp and fresh. Get there early since it's a small location and noontime can be insane, I've been informed. read more

Food was awesome, employees were super friendly. The only downside to this place is that it was packed and crowded, although I can see why!

I ordered a authentic Cuban sandwich from here. It was pretty good loved the mayo to mustard spread ratio and the taste of pickle always tops it off for me. The meat was satisfying and ham/pork wasn't the cheap stuff. If your in the mood to kill your Cuban sandwich craving this may do it. It's a very tiny spot and parking is tough due to it being in the middle of hospitalville but you know sometimes when you want to try something you just do.. read more

Excellent, and take it from a real Cuban native, the ham croquetas are spot on, 10/10! read more

Awesome find! Great, food, people, price. Cuban was very good! Bread was toasted perfectly & meats, etc packed with flavor. Large sandwich was big enough to split with some one. I also sampled croquettes - both ham & chicken were exceptional!! If you are at Advent Health visiting a patient, and tired of cafeteria food it is well worth the 5 minute walk!!! read more

Absolutely wonderful! Came in expecting to have to wait, but was taken care of very quickly. My sandwich was fresh, hot, and tasty as well. I ordered the Tripleta and fries. It's quite different compared to things I have eaten in the past. It's a mix of pork, steak, ham, potato stix, and a tasty mayo ketchup mix. Highly recommend it. There is another version of this sandwich that substitutes chicken and turkey for the pork and ham. read more

Stop thinking about whether you want to go to a different coffee place. I'm drinking Cafe con leche that is so God damn good it makes me see Jesus. The picadillo is bomb. Just stop thinking about Panera like a mildly satisfied meh lunch...and come here instead. Damn it's so good, y'all. read more

4 Stars for delicious Cuban food at a great price! I had previously been to Cindy's Tropical Cafe (the former iteration of this business which was located on Virginia Dr) and wasn't super impressed by it but this was a huge improvement from the location, to the interior atmosphere, and the service! I ordered the $5.99 lunch special- Half cuban sandwich with rice and beans - and sat outside because the weather was great. Shortly after we sat down the woman that had taken our order at the counter came out with cushions for us! Heck yeah! Love that special touch to make sure your guests are comfy! The half cuban was itself cut in the typical triangle half slices, which I liked (versus one large half slice, this way I had two halves of the half). I really enjoyed the portion and had just enough room left for some of the black beans. The beans were really tasty and didn't give the impression that they were straight out of the can (unlike some other places I've been). I also got a few bites of my compadre's fried sweet plantain side order (which was HUGE, btw) and they were perfectly cooked where the edges are dark and caramelized but the center is still soft and juicy. My one concern for them is that parking is a bit of an issue. I looped around the block a few times looking for a lot to park in (there's no on-street parking), but all of them were for other businesses and had tow away warnings. finally we realized that there was a driveway along side of Cindy's. It looked like only about 6 cars could fit- which is not terrible. I imagine most of their customers will be coming from Health Village and will be walking. To sum it up - Cindy has a new fan! Buen provecho! read more

Cindy's just moved to the Health Village across Orange Ave from Florida Hospital. It's the same great food they had on Virginia Ave plus they have expanded the menu. I had the Grilled Chicken Specialty Sandwich. It was very good the bread was crispy and the inside was moist and juicy. Definitely a place we will add to our lunch routine. read more

Came to Cindy's Café in between meetings at work and they definitely didn't disappoint. Not only is Cindy's convenient if you're working or visiting the Orlando South campus but the food is fresh and the service is speedy. While the inside may be small the aura gives your a familiar setting to that of a Spanish family. I really enjoyed the ham croquettes and my eggs were cooked just the way I like them. The coffee was a requirement because I love the boost Cuban coffee gives me and it did just that. The fact they have both indoor and outdoor seating is a plus for those not too humid days! Would definitely visit here for breakfast again - especially if you don't want the breakfast from the hospital cafeteria. read more

I'm not sure how authentic I would call this cafe but for a quick stop on a Friday morning I will give them credit that my food was served quickly and hot. While I can think of other Cuban restaurants that leave more of an impression, I do have to give Cindy's credit for operating a small business in that area. That's about all I'll give them credit for, however, because the food really didn't leave an impression and even the cafe con leche left me disheartened. It doesn't matter how plentiful the food is if it doesn't make you want more. Also, I found the service lacking as when I walked in the girl at the register didn't bother looking up and just kept messing with the screen. "Sweetheart, you're not entering launch codes...let's go!" First visit and, likely, my last. read more
