We always hit a Cuban spot for a bite during our visits to Miami and this pick? Perfect. We enjoyed the service throughly, they were kind and friendly. The place is well kept, cozy and has lots of character. Idr which beverages we got but I remember them being made quickly and finished just as fast bc delicious. We always share food and we could not stop passing plates back and forth. We were cautioned that the French toast is sometimes vv sweet to some but we thought it was just right. We left not a crumb, enjoyed every single bite. We would absolutely return! read more

Pros: First, service was very quick and the cashier was very nice. The space was clean and we appreciated the umbrellas outside for shade. Cons: To be honest, we should've known better once we saw the neighborhood we were in that this wasn't going to be a true Cuban sandwich but we decided to give it a try anyways. We've never had such a dry sandwich before; the Cuban bread was soft, but the roast pork was extremely dry to the point we had to go in to buy a second drink to help wash down that & super dry yuca ( didn't taste like yuca) fries that don't come with any sauce. Ketchup mayo and mustard packets were available. We expected better quality for the price we paid. read more

Colada Cuban Cafe - Cuban Sandwich / Cubano - Cuban Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

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. read more

This neighborhood gem is worth a stop. All the items I am used to seeing at my local favorite Cuban bakery, but more! My husband said the ham and cheese empanada was outstanding. My son ordered a breakfast croissant with bacon which he enjoyed. I ordered the medianiche sandwich which was the pork was moist and bread was tasty. Son and husband both ordered the a cafe con leche which was delicious. Best of all is the affordability. I would come here every morning if I lived here! They also have outdoor seating, which is dog friendly. So come bring your pooch! read more

Got breakfast here and yum!! The breakfast bowl was so delicious. The steak and herb aioli carried the show. Nice big chunks of avocado too.

Colada is my local spot but even if it wasn't I would go the extra mile for the excellent food, coffee, and vibes. Thank you Colada for being the best! read more

While visiting Ft Laud I wanted some authentic food from someone's kitchen! turned to my trusted Yelp and came across this place. The decor is so cute and IG ready moment! I ordered the White Mocha with guava. So delicious! My only wish was that the guava taste was more prominent. The Churrasco bowl, steak, egg, potatoes, Avocado, onions and peppers. I also purchased a few pastries to go, they were delicious also. This place is a real gem and I can't wait to go back there! read more

This place unfortunately fell flat for me. We went here as a last spot before we headed to the airport and ordered the following: + Cafe con leche + croquetas + pan con bistec + cuban sandwich I currently am not drinking caffeinated drinks, and unfortunately they didn't have this as an option. Croquetas when bit into were virtually hollow. The bistec for the pan con bistec was too chewy. The winning moment for our experience here was the cuban sandwich. read more

I have been here a few times while passing by the Fort Lauderdale Downtown area and Colada does not disappoint. It follows the guidelines of Cuban Cafes to the letter - delicious, affordable, and quick. The restaurant also does a great job of catering to modern expectations of customers with an updated ambiance and service experience without sacrificing tradition. As a Cuban native, I'm pretty satisfied with Colada's updated experience that honors the traditional cuisine. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

This Colada Cuban Cafe is a quick in and out grab and go kind of place. The staff members were friendly, they also speak Spanish and English. The interior is smaller compared to other Colada spots we have been to. The food is usually good, though today we were just there for caffeine. If you have never been to a colada cafe before please give it a try. The food is good and the cafe con leche iced is usually a must grab if you don't mind a little sugar and milk in your coffee. The seating space was limited due to this specific location. The line was long but the staff members worked efficiently to make sure no one waited too long. The parking space was a bit hectic. So park somewhere close by and walk there. read more

Place was fantastic! Perfectly what I needed before a long flight. The entrance is towards the back. I went very early since I needed a place to eat breakfast at so I decided to get a Cuban French toast and it was okay, really crunchy! I liked the beef empanada and thought it was a big size. Would come back as another option for breakfast if I'm in the area read more

I was a bit underwhelmed with their Cuban sandwich. I really wanted to like since it is so close to my place but the meat didn't seem too fresh. They gave a free dessert though, so it was a plus. Service was pretty prompt. Relaxed layout. No parking at the restaurant but there is a garage on the street behind the building. read more

As out-of-towners, we were searching for a pressed steak sandwich, plantains, and black beans and rice, this place had it all. The steak sandwich was very yummy. The sweet plantains were the best we've ever had, they were warm and soft, but also caramelized at the same time. Delicious. The black beans and rice were far less than desirable as the rice came out hard and crunchy with two different orders. The cortadito was a heavenly surprise! I ordered a caramel cortadito and instantly upon the first sip wished that I had chosen a larger size. Had guava and cream cheese pastries and they were just okay. Besides the hard rice, this review lost a star due to the staff attitude. We had two separate orders of steak sandwiches, one with onions and one without. The order that came out first had no onions, though the order with onions was placed first. When we questioned whose it was, the staff member snapped at us and told us it was the order for the second group and the next one came out, also without onions. When we requested onions the staff member acted as if we were inconveniencing her, and it appears we were because she came out with food in her hand and in her mouth. Besides the staff interaction and the hard rice we would still come back to this place based on the cortadito and plantains alone. The location also seemed to be pretty tidy. read more

My husband and I went here on a Friday morning. 4 hours of free parking in garage. It was pretty busy inside. You order at the counter, and then staff brings you your food. My husband and I ordered 2 tequenos, 2 spinach and feta empanadas, chicken handheld, croquetta wrap, mango juice, and a cafe con leche. After tip, it was around $52 for everything. This is our rating of each food/drink: - Tequenos 5/5 (great - no complaints) - Spinach and feta empanadas 3/5 (OK - not as good as others we've had at other establishments; no limes available to squeeze on top) - Chicken handheld 2/5 (could've been better - lacked significant flavor/bland) - Croquetta wrap 3/5 (OK - nothing special) - Bottled mango juice 5/5 (great - no complaints) - Cafe con leche 5/5 (great - no complaints) The staff was nice. Service was timely. Bathrooms inside if needed. We will probably come back and try other menu options instead of the ones we rated lower. read more

Oh man, so glad Yelp led me here. Such delicious coffee, fantastic salads, and the steak and eggs breakfast was sublime. Parking is free at a nearby garage, but sometimes all the spots are full so it can be a little bit problematic to get here. Either way; if you're looking for delightful Cuban food and you're in the Fort Lauderdale area, don't sleep on Colada. Their baked goods and empanadas looked incredible too! read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife and twins for our morning coffees. Whenever our family is traveling, we always try to hit up local coffee shops and on this day we ended up going to Colada Cuban Cafe. This Cafe is located in "The Manor" shops right off of US-1. While the manor has a lot reserved specifically for guests and retail, I was unable to find a spot on this day. As such, I found what I wanted online while my wife jumped out to head inside and place our order. Due to that, I don't have much to say about the shop itself except that my wife told me they did plenty of to go business. For my coffee on this morning I ended up going with a hot cafe con leche while my wife went with an iced horchata latte and also ordered a ham and cheese empanada. My coffee here ended being pretty good as there was a good mix of both the milk and the coffee with the strong and rich coffee easily the star. There was a little sweetness to my drink too which I enjoyed. Then my wife enjoyed both the empanada and her horchata latte. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffee and hopefully next time I can head inside myself. read more

My first trip to Fort Lauderdale and Colada Cuban Cafe made it worth it. This establishment has a cute, quaint atmosphere with a nice view. There was outside seating to enjoy the weather and inside seating to take a break. The food was good and flavorful, worth every dollar. I'd recommend the salad with mahi mahi, which was perfectly cooked. My new favorite dessert is the guava and cheese pastry, light and flaky mouthwatering goodness. If ever you get a chance go check out Colada Cuban Cafe. read more

Small Cuban cafe in Flagler Village. I've been coming here for years since it's a few steps from where I live. It's my go-to when needing a quick breakfast sandwich. The egg, cheese, & bacon croissant has never let me down. I like to add potato sticks for a little crunch. It's also a good place to go for a change of scenery when working remotely and for an iced cafe con leche little afternoon pick-me-up. They have some tables inside and outside that I see many people working at during the week. Great little spot to have in the neighborhood. read more

This was my 2nd time here, however it's been 3 + years since I was last here. This is a Cuban cafe that sells coffee, juice, pastries, etc. The pastries look amazing. Note to self when in a Cuban Cafe order the coffee not the matcha tea! I'm not really a big coffee drinker and I love matcha green tea so I ordered that. Didn't realize it comes as an ice matcha tea which was okay. I didn't care for the matcha tea it did Not taste like any other matcha tea that I order all around town. I think if they're going to offer it they should understand what it typically tastes like, you should be able to taste the strong green tea taste They have tables and chairs, plenty of seating. There is the retail parking garage which is free right across the street. read more
