M&G Cuban Cafe is my go-to spot for a sweet, yummy Cuban coffee in St. Pete. It is a pleasant little cafe I stumbled across while on vacation. I made it back at least 3 times before leaving! You order at the counter inside the restaurant. The gentleman working is very friendly & helpful with an upbeat attitude making every experience very pleasant. The colada de cafe is amazing! So consistent, strong, and much needed after a long evening or day in the sun. The croquettes were delicious & as was the potato & bean. It is the perfect beginning to each day! Go check out M&G Cuban Cafe! It will be your new favorite! read more

First time here! Small Mom & Pop shop. The place was clean. The man at the counter (I think he was the owner) took our order. He was very friendly and warm. We ordered a "Little Havana Combo" ($11.50) and Roast Pork with rice and beans ($13.50), and two milkshakes.($6.00)ea). The food was delicious and plentiful. The waitresses were very accommodating. When we were done eating, I walked up to the counter and asked to pay. The man ran my credit card, took payment and was done. I asked for the receipt in order to give them a tip and he told me not to worry. It was strange at the moment, but I acknowledged him and we left. The bill totaled $11.50+$13.50+$12,00=$37.00+ Tax=7%=$39.59. My card was charged $45.48. This means that either he charged me a 15% tip or a Credit Card use fee without consent! This is why he refused to give me the receipt! What he doesn't know is that I was going to give him a higher tip; $10. Unfortunately, I will not return due to this dishonest action that he took. How sad that this owner had to resort to this practice! And for this, he gets a 2-Star rating! PS. Usually tips do not reflect the original charge. Perhaps when the transaction clears it will show the "tip" included. We will see. read more

It's one thing to spot papa rellenas coming from a fronzen box when we expect fresh, but the old man automatically setting a tip without my consent feels like taking advantage of customers who are trying to support you. read more

Best Cuban in Tampa Bay!!!! Hands down. I grew up south of Gandy, eating Cubans at Robertos and the Green Store... and many other wonderful mom and pop Cuban cafeteria style restaurants that are now gone. I now live in Pinellas and every so called Cuban sandwich shop insists on killing Cubans by over pressing them until it is a heavy greasy soggy mess. This is just WRONG! Cubans should be lightly buttered and pressed. M&G fortunately does not over press. They know exactly what they are doing. Perfectly pressed so the meat is still cold, the cheese is just warmed and the bread is flakie... leaving your table a mess of crumbs. It's a shame other places mislead transplants into thinking a Cuban is just roast pork, ham, Swiss and pickles, over pressed on French bread. They have no clue what they are missing. Oh... and they use salami. If you know anything about Cuban Sandwiches, they were invented in Tampa, by Cubans. Not Miami, not Cuba. If it doesn't have salami, it's NOT a Cuban. It certainly is not a Cuban if it is not made on Cuban bread!!! read more

Nice Breakfast Even though they open at 8:00am, M&G only has one item that would be commonly thought of as breakfast. At least it's a very good one. Their Pan con Tortilla, an egg and ham omelet on Cuban bread is delicious. It goes very well with their Café con Leche. The sandwich is huge with plenty to save for a nice lunch as well. read more

Cuban sandwiches are so delicious here. We ordered these sandwiches three times while staying in Largo for the week. We will definitely be stopping by again when we're back in town :) read more

Cafe con leche is excellent. We really enjoyed the plantains. The Cuban sandwich was very good but as another reviewer commented it is a little shy on the meat. Bread was excellent. read more

Yelped local restaurants by my job and found this gem. Checked the menu and got a cuban sammy with a cafe con Leche. The coffee was perfect and the cuban was tasty and traditional. Good roast pork and it really was delicious. Tap to pay and I asked about a tip. He said next time, because he obviously knew I was a new customer. Now that is customer service! I will be back and I'll over tip next time. So yourself a favor and try some local small businesses, they put their all into the food. If not they close shop and go back to work for amazon. read more

I'm always on the hunt for the next greatest thing. Add to the fact that I am about as close to being a native Tampan as possible, so understand that I have had my fair share of Cuban sandwiches. You see, a lot of restaurants will claim that they have "authentic" Cubans. Located in Largo and tucked away at the end of a nondescript shopping center, you will find M&G Cuban Cafe. Immediately, I skeptical when I saw "Enjoy The Cuban Flavor" boldly proclaimed across the front of M&G Cuban Cafe's menu. Fortunately, my visit did not disappoint. After a short wait, my 12" Cuban was served on some of the freshest, crispiest Cuban bread that the area has to offer. In fact, the bread was cut at an angle so sharp that it was almost like a dagger! Jilted lovers, lookout, it could actually be used as a weapon! As for the meats...there was a little less than I would have liked to have seen on a foot long . Even with the mustard and Mayo slathered on, the sandwich was a bit dry. Maybe I missed it, but there should be a special that includes chips and a drink. Overall, I did enjoy the experience. The restaurant was clean, and the gentleman behind the counter (presumably the owner) was very nice and friendly. I'm not in the area often, but next time I am, I will be sure to stop by. read more

Amazing Cuban food well worth it come try it and leave these guys a review definitely a 5 star

I have been looking for a good local Cuban sandwich since my favorite shop shut down. I drive by M&G literally every day but never noticed it because it's in a run down strip mall off of Ulmerton rd in Largo. While searching yelp for Cuban food I found this place and it seemed to have good reviews so I finally stopped today for a sammich. I had high hopes and was excited for this sandwich and was sadly disappointed. My review is only of the Cuban sandwich since it's the only item I ordered. The rest of their food could be really good? The Cubano was very dry and lacked flavor. The price was rIght but the taste was not so I won't be back sadly. The owner seemed genuine and welcomIng. I wished I had better news to report recommendation to all Cuban sandwich makers, put some butter on your bread before pressing it!! Like a lot So I guess the search is still on......... read more

Very good nice people placed order and it was brought to my car as i am handicapped

Service is great, food came out fast , we had the Cuban cafe con leche , Mofongo, rice and beans and cuban sandwiches, all had the authentic taste of Cuban food read more

M&G Cuban Cafe II - Cuban Near Me - Largo, Florida

I went to this location twice for coffee and pastries before a conference. I really wanted Cuban breakfasr. When I arrived, I was the only customer when I arrived. There was a man that greeted me on both occasions. His face twisted, I wished him good morning and gave him my order. He was gruff and dismissive in his response. I can't tell you how much I still went out of my way to be pleasant. He was nasty. My husband was dropping me off while he stayed at the hotel, so he was with me and noticed the treatment. He was upset and wanted to return afterwards to talk to the man, but I told him to just leave it alone. There was no reason for my treatment. Against my better judgment, I decided to return the next morning, thinking it was a fluke. Boy, was I wrong. I went with my colleague. I was the only one ordering. For context, I'm a Black woman and she's Hispanic. She walked in steps behind me. She couldn't believe how he spoke to me. What's worse, three Hispanic men came in and he proceeded to take their order. My colleague was beyond shocked and upset. At that point, I got the message. I wished him a blessed day as I left. I don't I've ever experienced such treatment before. read more

Best Cuban I have ever had. Bread was amazing and traditional ingredients were excellent

Love, Love, LOVE this place. The perfectly baked bread is the foundation for their Cuban sandwich... which we get every time! Every time we fly into Tampa to visit Gramma we make the flight so that we can have lunch here. Their empanadas are tasty and although the ckn is delicious, the beef is my favorite. The owner has the most fun personality but he speaks fast with the slightest accent so pay attention. and remember, the cabinet to the left is HOT!!!!!! read more

I drove about 5 miles out the way to get back here, but then I could not find the place lol. The was so good the first time that I made sure I found it, and now I have one of the best Cuban sandwich I've tasted, again. You will not be disappointed with the flavor of the food or your service provided. read more

Cuban, café com leite, service were outstanding. The guy behind the counter made me feel at home. The previous authors were correct, bread for the Cuban was crunchy and soft inside. The mustard to meat ratio was perfect. The coffee was creamy and delicious. Great lunch spot. read more

Great cuban food and café con leche. The food is made fresh, and the environment is surrounded by the cuban style great customer service. There is plenty of parking space and a great attention to the customer's needs. This place is a hidden gem. read more

So far this might be the best Cubano I've had in Clearwater or Tampa. The bread was especially good. Perfect combo of crunchy and chewy. All of the flavors were in balance with the ham, pork, and mustard. Only interesting note was that there was a small piece of salami on my sandwich. That is not mentioned in the menu and my understanding was the owner is from Miami so did his sandwiches in that style. (I prefer Miami style personally). That aside the sandwich was excellent! Can't wait to try some other menu items when I visit my family here next. read more

We order Cuban sandwiches, great flavor and great bread, but there were mainly ham sandwiches. One very thin slice of pernil, if I can call It that. Don't tout yourself as best Cuban sandwich if you don't even know how to make them. Still looking for a good Cuban Sandwich here in Pinellas County. read more

AMAZING!!! A clean and delicious homey environment with people who are smiling! The Cuban sandwich was one of the best ones I've ever had and the bread was unrealllllll. The papas rellanas were amazing! Will be coming back and tell everyone!!! read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere...quick too! I am addicted to the cuban sandwich w/ rice and beans!

Not a fancy place but the sandwiches are great! I got the hot pastrami and my uncle got the Cuban. Both were very fresh and good!

Great Cuban sandwiches and the empanadas were amazing. Definitely coming here again to try the steak sandwich!

Amazing empanadas love it service was fast owner was so nice and cool would recommend to anyone

Very rude. I waited there for 6 minutes for the person to take my order. He was chit chatting with other employees and then when I started to tell him my order he tells me they're closed. read more

I ordered take away from here about a month or so ago. Cuban sandwich (huge!) black beans and rice and empanadas. It was pretty tasty. I'll definitely order again. The empanadas and beans and rice were sooo delicious. I don't like salami, so I was happy this place doesn't put it on their Cubans. The meal lasted me 2 days. Only negative thing I'd say is the Cuban could have been pressed/toasted a little more, but the actual flavor of the sandwich was great. Service wasn't overly friendly, but I've no complaints. read more
