Cubana Cafe Opens in The Slope
We just noticed on Friday that the new outpost of Cubana Cafe (of Smith Street fame) is now open on the corner of St. Marks Place and 6th Avenue in Park Slope. It can’t have been open more than a few days. Streetlevel: Cubana Cafe Coming to 6th Avenue [Brownstoner] GMAP

Ate there the other day. Eggs Cubana I think (spin on benedict) was nice. Nice new, clean, and charming spot with friendly welcoming service. Waitress left me wishing a) I could speak some spanish, and b) that I looked like Bardem or Clooney or whomever she fancies. I’ll be back again for sure for the food (I’m over her already). Two suggested improvements for all New York restaurants: One-deal with the wobbly tables. C’mon folks! Men have landed on the moon and all that. Can’t we deal with wobbly tables without getting napkins, bending over and wrestling the things at every sit down? The guy next to me experienced multiple spills and nearly flew into a rage- that after witnessing my tippy-tippy on the way in to the joint. I felt his pain and attempted to soothe him with a ‘fu#$in tables, eh?’ but he was focused on pouring the coffee from his saucer back into the cup most of which was headed for the table again.
Second tip- have normal drip coffee that comes in a bottomless cup. The coffee americana was good but I needed three cups, especially as my pants were anointed with most of the first cup.

Luv this place the BEST “Cuban” Sandwich and Carne Guisada!
if they still make their “cuban” food like they did when i tried the smith st joint you can count me a: out b: incredulous that enough lost souls dropped coin for them to open up another awful place. their food wasn’t just bad cuban food, it was bad food.
LincolnSlope…nice to see you back! You haven’t been around in a while, yes…?
You still in the area…?
I am Cuban and went to the one in SoHo which was actually really nice. I am looking forward to trying it!
I prefer the updated produce section of Associated to the crapshack that was Beso.
There is a 3rd Cubana Cafe on Thompson Street in Soho.
This place looks nice. I hope the former Video Store next door finds a tenant soon…it’s been empty for a while and makes that corner a bit dismal.
This helps though…
People are haters!!
A great little restaurant in the neighborhood is great! We should all be supporting small businesses. Bodegas are rip offs and dirty and serve no useful purpose anymore. This looks like a lovely little cuban restaurant and how nice to have this in our section of the hood… cant wait to eat here. Now if only that big storefront on the corner gts rented, what a great spot that would be. How about table and chairs in the triangle park ? any suggestions???? (not you Rob)
> I still miss Beso
I miss the Beso of days of yore back when they opened, but not the sad shadow of itself that it became, with hit-or-miss food and inexcusably lax service.
Looking forward to trying out this place.
