cafe lo cubano

cafe lo cubano is a comfortable cafe at the corner of california and laurel streets in laurel heights.

it serves cuban coffee drinks and cuban cafe fare in an ethno-centric environment that utilizes varying woods, wicker, cuban photographs, paintings and decor with a pale yellow wall paint that wouldn't work anywhere else.

the ceiling has a great angled build that plays off of light and shadow and cleverly conceals vents and spot lights.

cozy spot. free wifi. and the iced chai latte is strong, if not overly sweet. in the background you'll see cafe cubano's signature red mug. apparently the dulce de leche is the thing to get, but i'm not much a coffee drinker.

i think i'll find myself here more often. it's a nice neighborhood too. more on that later.
