Miami Florida Mortgage | Day Trip from Boynton Beach to Miami's South Beach for a Cafe Cubano

By
Real Estate Agent with THE PODGURSKY GROUP @ Re/Max Direct

David's CafeThis past Sunday, I ventured out of the house earlier than my 17 month old son usually allows.  I headed down to Miami's South Beach to meet the guys from Sellsius Real Estate that were in town on their Blog Bus Tour.  Being that living and working in Palm Beach County, Florida keeps me about 50-60 miles North of South Beach, I figured I would make a stop in "my" cuban cafe just off South Beach Florida's famous Lincoln Road Pedestrian Mall.

 I walked from Alton Road down Lincoln Rd and hung a left on cuban coffee_regularMeridian.  Half a block down is where you will find David's Cafe II.  For those who have never experienced a real Cuban Cafe before, this is definitely something you should not miss when you're visiting South FloridaDavid's Cafe has been in existence since 1977 so it has stood the test of time with the Cuban and American populations in South Beach Miami....and for good reason!

 Right on the street is an open window where they serve Cafe Cubano 24/7 along with other menu items like the Media Noche sandwich, the traditional Sandwich Cafe CubanoCubano and Plantains - either the starchy, double fried Tostones or the sweet uber-caramelized Maduros (my fav).  You can also pick from an assortment of fresh baked Cuban Pastries.

Scott - the food, the coffee or the late nights sharing a colada after salsa and sweat??

on the beach the thermometer said 105!

Leah - the best thing about it is that it has been there a long time - so many "fusion" and hip spots come and go but you can't go wrong with a Cubano y Cafe at 2am... I'm from the Midwest so it is like WhiteCastles and BigRed to me :)

Ines - we were around the corner from Miami Ink on Ocean but the guys didn't believe that they could leave the RV in the yellow zone and find it when we returned... I heard Rudy wanted a tattoo of Joe and vice versa!

Tom - yeah....gotta find where the good grub is!... we were actually hoping to bump into Jackie Mason too... but it was too much of a schvitz out

Cyndee - you should have a great time!

George - it was a fun day! albeit sweaty :)

Maggie - we missed you!  we're going to have to meet up sooner or later!
