Cafe Cubano Key WestKey West is truly a cultural melting pot. One of the biggest influences you can see from our many cultures is in the cuisine. From Conch fritters to Tostones Rellenos at El Meson de Pepe', the Keys have a flavor all their own! Then there's the coffee! One thing that definitely needs to be on your list of Key West things to try is a Café Cubano!

Café Cubano is known by several names: Cuban coffee, Cuban shots, cafecito, buchito, and Cuban espresso are the most well known. The basics are the same. Café Cubano is an espresso shot sweetened with sugar as it is being brewed. The result is a sweet and smooth espresso that can be drunk on its own or used for the base of some amazing café drinks!

The traditional Cuban breakfast starts with Café Con Leche and toasted Cuban bread! Café Con Leche is the espresso served in a cup of steamed milk, somewhat similar to a latte, only presweetened. Bucci is the local Key West name for a small shot of Cuban espresso.

Of course, if you want to be the star of the office, swing by and pick up a Colada on your way to work. This large cup of café is served with 4-5 shot glasses so you can share with your friends! Definitely a great way to win friends and influence people!!

So the next time you are in Key West, head over to the Cuban Coffee Queen with a group of good friends and enjoy a Colada together. Once you have tried it you'll understand why in Key West, "hello" is often followed by an invitation to have some café!
