Reliable cafe in Elwood. Food is always good, coffee is great and staff are friendly. We ordered coffees they use old school Vittoria which was a refreshing change. I had the brekky burrito the bean salsa was delicious on top. My friend had the Havana baked eggs. It was a great portion size and the eggs were cooked well. Will definitely come back for more.
I was meeting a friend who lives in Port Melbourne for brunch so we decided to check out Cafe de Cuba and sit outside in the sparse but glorious sunshine. Despite the name this is definitely not Cuban food although there is a Havana eggs on the menu that seems like it could be inspired by traditional cuisine. There's also a scandi eggs dish and all the breakfast basics. The menu consists of simple classic brunchfare. You will find no matcha latte here which suits me just fine. Matcha really has become the ingredient de jour of late and frankly I'm a little over it. I had a lovely fresh juice which was nice and tropical with lots of watermelon and pineapple and I ordered the corn fritters with avocado, swapping out the bacon for feta which they were happy to do. Delicious.
The lunch menu involves all your pub classics; pizzas, burgers, parmas etc but also has quite a few salads which caters to the beach body locals. We were both satisfied with our meal and the staff were very attentive
Cafe De Cuba is a nice open space for brunching and chilling. Located conveniently on the corner of Glen Huntly Road, its easily accessible and there’s plenty of off street parking around. Great place to try out some brunch dishes, but coffee was a bit disappointing. Skim Cappuccino $3.80. Average coffee. A bit bitter. 5/10
I honestly love this cafe! It's my new favourite spot as a local. I come here quite frequently and the coffee is always excellent and the food is always delicious! My partner and I have come here for dinner as well and it's just the perfect place for a great meal with good company on a lovely evening.
Had a great first experience at cafe Cuba! Came here in a big group after the granny! There were more than accommodating, friendly and even gave us free muffins being the last customers of the day! We opted for the Parma which was a winner! The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable! Will have to come back and try breakfast here too!
It was finally Sunday morning, which meant time to check out a new cafe! It was a beautiful day in Melbourne so thought we’d make the most of it and go for a drive and see where we ended up. Making a series of random turns, we ended up in Elwood (my dream suburb to live in!). We’ve been to a few cafes in Elwood and definitely wanted to try something new so made our way over to a little corner cafe called Cafe de Cuba.
Great coffee. Local cafe, really nice food and lovely staff. Benny eggs were great, bacon is crispy, just the way I like it. I've been here a few times and continue to come back, thanks guys.
This is our "go to local cafe" for a delicious fix of beef burger and egg based dishes. Never had a bad meal and we have been consistently eating here for over two and a half years.
Get the baked eggs! Coffee was also great! Try and get a spot outside and watch the endless carousel of nice cars and motorbike doing their weekend laps around the large roundabout!
Great go to for breakfast. Reliable and consistent! If you want to do breakfast / lunch without thinking about where to go Cafe De Cuba is a good one. Great menu with something for everyone.
Really good restaurant, breakfast amazing and also realy good burgers! You should try corn fritters or benny bacon, and don't forget to look at the specials board!
Best coffee in Elwood! The food and coffee here are always great. I mostly go for breakfast and always leave happy. The owner and staff are always lovely and get to know there regulars. The Cuban hash brown is Devine!
Great Morning sun location, tried the Smashed Avo. Was small but very nice @ $12. Good Coffee.
Will come back
Great Breakfast. My girlfriend and I ate here a few weeks ago and were very impressed with the quality of the food, the service and the location.
The breakfast has a Cuban influence, hence the cafe's name, with coriander and avocado featuring heavily.
Perfect place to spend a lazy morning in Elwood
Great coffee, waiter was super friendly, nice breakfast menu, will definitely come back!

Great Local Cafe. My wife and I are new to the area, and one of the first things we did was source out a favourite new cafe. After popping into Turtle, we felt it was a bit "meh", and the Joinery was cool but a touch pretentious. We tried out Cafe de cuba and loved it immediately. Good music, good comfortable vibe, wifi, and good coffee. What more could we ask for? The staff are lovely and friendly, the coffee is hot and fast, and it has a great view of the bustling little elwood community. Been there almost every day since moving in up the street, and don't plan on changing that. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a great chill spot.
Yummy snacks, cheap beer. Went down to Cuba for the first time yesterday, happy hour(s) went for ages and $5 drinks always make me happy!! They had good music playing, nice vege samosas and great chips! All round I would go back for sure.
This place has a great location, perfect on a sunny day by the beach. Love to bring my kids along too. We are always greeted warmly and the atmosphere is friendly. They make a great coffee and I love eating there for dinner. Free WiFi, $5 drinks and good music. Perfect...
Best coffee I've had in the last week. And I have coffee from several different establishments every week!I had the Cafe Cuba Breakfast this Father's Day morning ... with 2 extra eggs (4 in all). It's your normal stock-standard BIg Breakfast - eggs, toasts, bacon, sausage, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns - but taste-wise stock-standard it sure ain't! Everything on my plate was cooked to perfection, just the way I like them, and beautifully presented too! The coffee was particularly good - aromatic, strong, and served at the right temperature!
This is my local and may I say I am very proud of it, always has a nice buzz atmosphere on the weekend. Service is great and more importantly the coffee is as well! Have had lunch here a few times and I am always impressed! Very hard to make a decision as to what to eat as the menu is so advertising!
Good food and service. Very reliable quality and friendly service.
Love the new Salmon Toast.
GOOD EXPERIENCE AT DECUBA I.... GOOD EXPERIENCE AT DECUBA
It is very pleasant to have a consistant good experience and happy at decuba, Food is well prepared and presented.Will keep on coming and YES RECOMMEND RECOMMEND !!
Food and coffee was really good. The staff were all friendly just service was a little slow which is fine if ur not in a rush. Would come back
Kids eat free. Went to cafe de Cuba Wednesday night with the kids for a quick meal. My wife and I ordered a couple of main specials and we were pleasantly surprised w hen the waiter told us the kids eat for free. He told us that kids eat free if you order main meals. I had the steak and my wife had the fish. They were both delicious and well priced and the kids loved their meals. We left full and happy. Will come back again with more friends.
Went with some friends for lunch. I had a Barramundi special which was really good, chicken salad nd beef burger.Everybody enjoyed their meals, I would go back.
Very good. The past few reviews were not flash but the morning we went food and service was fantastic fruit toast with mascarpone and apples and strawberries was excellent definitely will be back
I've been here a few times breakfast is average. However they've had a lunch special called mumma's meatballs and it was amazing! I ate there 3 times that week ;)
A beautiful day to be at de cuba enjoying a chai vanilla latte and some very tasty corn fritters. Great job de cuba!
Bang bang!! What a place!! The best in elwood !! Best food coffee service!!
Had the corn fritters! Could have been a tad bigger but topped with avocado, smoked salmon and poached egg....just yummy! Coffee was just perfect - right temperature and not bitter
Great to drop in for a coffee, owner and staff are lovely....but it smells really weird, like cheese? Couldn't have a meal due to the smell.
Great place to go if you like quantity as well as quality. Good staff as well. Portions were definitely a bit big for my partner and I though!
Went in for a chai latte and it was pretty good. Came in a tall glass and had some super froth on it. A very relaxing cafe in a top location.
Great fruit toast and coffee.
I just love this place! Cafe de Cuba is an old favourite from the time I used to live in St Kilda. Now, living on the other side of town, I still make the 30min drive to Elwood just to enjoy their Sunday brunch. Cafe de Cuba has great breakfast and lunch
I came here with my sister, she ordered eggs Benedict and she loved it. I had the tuna pasta which I swapped for salmon and calamari which was fine as they allowed me to alter the meal. We were too hungry to take a before photo... But as you can see nothing was left over :p They were even nice enough to offer us free muffins as it was the end of the day.
Let the sun together with you delicious breakfast.
Seriously nice coffee here (10/10) young girls serving food and making the coffee are super friendly. Water they give is always really cold , the eggs benny was tastey, could of been a side salad or a few leafs and a bit more bacon, but it was really good simple food. Lovely rustic decor to this coffeeshop. Dog friendly aswell get down and try a coffee today, you won't be dissapointed.
Good food and friendly staff.
Delicious breakfast. Service friendly and efficient. My waitress even put the password for the wifi into my iPad personally. I'll be back to try more of the inviting menu.
