Something I've been really into lately is trying out different international coffee styles. This all started for me when I was introduced to Vietnamese coffee and after years of being a barista and knowing my way around an espresso machine and a more English/European way of viewing the drink, my mind was blown by how different cultures prepare such a classic drink. All of that being said, I'd never had Cuban coffee before so I was thrilled to have a chance to try it out here. I ordered a cafecito as I wanted something authentic and it was divine. The flavor was so good, and I loved how it was served in a little cup to savor and enjoy. The space overall is cozy and cute, but a bit confusing as you walk in and then need to find your way to the back. I will say the folks working are super nice, and I know I'll return someday to try more on their menu. TLDR: Super cute spot in KCK filled with delicious treats and coffee. read more

This super cute corner coffee shop in kck is authentic and very delicious! Popped in on a Saturday morning. All my senses were ignited- murals, music, coffee and cheery, helpful bilingual staff. Even though the menu is small it was difficult to make a decision about coffee and food. I ended up getting a cafe con leche - creamy and just the perfect amount of sweetness. It came out hot(temp) but not where it was scalding hot but just right. I had to force myself to savor it and drink it slow. Then I tried the plantains. Ooo so good. Crunchy and salty better than a potato chip. I got to try a sample of the guava cookies. Oh my. Another slam dunk. Everything was yummy. I even took home a jar of coffee. They offer milk alternatives. Some vegetarian options and gf options. They offer authentic Cuban sandwiches and pastries. The vibe was cool and inviting. I'll def be back to try more. So glad they're here offering the authentic tastes of Cuba!! read more

@cortadito_kc is a MUST!! Yes this is same sandwich, but you need to see all the angles because it SOOOOO DAMN GREAT. You need to get the chicken croquettes, it is pate in a cubano . Didn't know I needed it, but now every cubano sandwich is going to have to live up to this one. Also ask for a side of the chipotle sauce. It is just a little heat and smoke that adds to the fatty pork, ham, and cheese. Everything is great. Don't pass on the coffee or the flan. I honestly can report this is the best flan in KC. Visiting Cortadito is like dining in someone home. It is warm, welcoming and somewhere you want to return everyday! read more

I was so excited to try this Cuban restaurant in KCK. I saw it had 5 stars on Yelp and I LOVE a good Cuban sandwich. This one was EXCELLENT. It's huge so be ready! The restaurant is small but very clean and the staff was so friendly. Their plantain chips are homemade and they were thinner than some, I liked them a lot. . The sandwich bread was nice and crispy and the ham and pork and cheese was so tasty! .My only change for next time will be to ask for a little less mustard, but that's personal preference. If you like a Cuban; try it here! read more

This Cuban cafe is such a cool little gem. It's very unassuming from the outside, but once you step in you are transported. All the employees were so helpful and knowledgeable when we weren't sure what to order, and I took their suggestion in getting the Cafe Bonbon. So good, with just the right amount of sweetness from the condensed milk. We also ordered their Papas Rellenas, and holy crap, I could eat those all day! Plus the sauce is sweet and smoky, and good enough to just drink. Highly recommend! read more

As soon as I walked in i was greeted with a big hello from a young gent, asked if i'd been in before, directed to the back where the ordering takes places and asked how I was doing. That was the first minute and things only got better. I love when staff / ownership truly cares on serving all of their customers with respect and genuine friendliness. I ordered a Bon Bon Coffee and a traditional Cuban sandwich from an equally friendly lady behind the counter. My small, sweet and potent drink was table delivered quickly in the boisterous backroom while a nearly full house enjoyed the Saturday afternoon Chiefs game on the big screen. The TV was actually a bit of a distraction from the beautiful and vibrant wall murals located throughout space depicting Cuban culture. Following soon was my freshly grilled traditional Cuban sandwich with the obligatory mustard, pickles, Swiss cheese, ham and plenty of the best pulled pork ever. Seasoned and slow roasted in-house, this pork could hold up against any pork dish in town. It was served with a side of plantain chips. I grabbed a guava / cheese and a coconut pastry to go and enjoyed them later. Nothing not to love about this charming little cafe! read more

Wow! What a 10/10 experience. I had a short break from professional development and wanted to have a coffee and sandwich. The Cuban coffee shop around the corner provided the perfect sanctuary for just that. The shop played peaceful Cuban music, was clean and had several cute little tables strategically placed around the room. I particularly liked the free Cuba mural. While there, I ordered a Cafe con leche (coffee with milk) and a pain con bistec (steak sandwich). Both were fantastic! The coffee came in a cute mug and made you feel like you could just walk out the door into Cuba. Also, the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Will definitely be back! read more

LOVE having a new coffee shop that is incredibly close to work! This shop had been on my radar, but it wasn't until a coworker mentioned it opening that I realized it was both open and close to work! The staff working were so kind and friendly. The gal working walked me through the menu of food and pastries as well as coffee offerings. This was helpful in making a choice about what to order. Ultimately I ended up with a cafe con leche - a sweetened latte-type drink (but not overly sweet) and an order of the cubana tostada. This was a toasted cuban bread with a little butter and salt. Paired well with a sweeter coffee drink! The space was great! lots of colorful and fun murals, and some tables spread throughout. It would be a good spot to meet a friend or to get a little bit of work done! read more

I am so excited that they are open!! I walked over this morning for a to-go order and the service was excellent. I got a cafecito, guava cheese pastries and pan con lechon to go. It was ready fast and the cafecito came in the cutest little to go cup. If you've never had Cuban pastries, get ready to have your life changed. The guava cheese pastries are some of my favorites but I'll be back to try their other baked goods. The food was really good, can't wait to try their Cuban sandwich and KC style lechon sandwich read more

Cortadito - Game area in the cuban coffee shop. - Cafes Near Me - Kansas City, Kansas

I was so excited to hear that this cafe would be opening just four blocks from my home. Well...... Cortadito is an absolute hit! The Cuban coffee is excellent. Strong and perfectly sweetened. But if you like yours a little different, Cortadito will make it the way you like it. Their coffee is sourced from a roaster in Key West and is top quality. It tastes and smells exactly like a perfect Cuban coffee should. Grab a coffee and Cuban toast (tostada) and you have a typical Cuban breakfast. All food items are made in-house by the owner's mom. (Can't get better than that!) The croquetas, yuca/papa rellenos, pastelitos (among others) are all delicious, as are the sandwiches. I can't pick a favorite, but The Cubano is always a standout. The building is super clean and beautifully decorated. The interior walls are covered with brightly painted murals depicting Cuba, and the struggle to achieve political and personal freedoms from the repressive government. Hardships that family members of the owners personally faced in Cuba. There is seating at the front of the cafe, along with dominoes and other Cuban themed board games. The heated and cooled double garage in the back has been turned into overflow seating and is comparably decorated and comfortable. Now onto the best thing about Cortadito. The amazing owners and the extremely well-trained, competent, and super-friendly staff. Such wonderful and friendly people as you could ever hope to meet. Highly recommend Cortadito Cafe! read more

Great experience.... This was an unexpected find in KCK. The service and food were great, overall experience was well worth a trip. Plus you can grab a Cuban coffee and buy a hand rolled cigar. read more

Welcoming staff & great suggestions for what to try on a first visit. Felt like going to dinner at a friends house! Came for the pastelitos which did NOT disappoint. Ate one and immediately got 4 more to-go. The Cuban sandwich was also very good with light and crispy plantain chips on the side. Will absolutely return! read more

The coffee is amazing and the pastries so flaky. What a fun place to have a good cup of coffee and play dominoes. Service was fast.

I would like to start off with their customer service!!! THEY ARE SOOOOOO NICE! Amazing! I'm from Miami, Florida where there is Cuban food all around so when I moved to Kansas and tried Cuban sandwiches out here it was definitely nothing close to Florida. I was absolutely disappointed and just assumed I'd never get a good Cuban sandwich unless I was visiting down there. I saw this place on my way home and was craving a Cuban sandwiches so I said why not ‍I was definitely impressed! This IS AS GOOD AS FLORIDA! Food is amazing, fresh and hot. they prepared everything in a timely manner!! And the place looks AMAZING inside! It's beautiful all the art was beautiful. And again the customer service was great. I would definitely go again! read more

I stopped outside the new cafe and was greeted by their big Rooster. After walking inside, I was greeted by a big smile that would be Karrell Martinez. We listened to nice Cuban music while visiting with his partner, Nubia Gomez. While visiting, I was presented with a cup of Cuban Cocaine. This cup of kick-your-starter was excellent. You want to try it. They spoke of pastries, so I raided their pastry cabinet before I took off along with a couple of cups of Cuban Cocaine. It's a must that you stop in if you are close to 400 N 18th St. Ken F. read more
