| - This is one of my favourite places in the area. There's never a huge wait, and the food is very savoury - it's actually an awesome choice for brunch if you're unwilling to wait in the crazy lines of nearby over-rated brunch places, but it opens at noon. My go-to is the breakfast sandwich, which I'm not sure is even on the menu. The only reason I know about it is because I've been around since they were piloting this item, and I voted for it to stay on the menu. It's basically the cuban medianoche with an egg inside, and believe me the egg really makes a difference! If they don't have it, just ask for cuban medianoche and add an egg. The pressed cubano and black bean soups are also very good. I'm obsessed with how they make their coffee here, probably because I like it strong and sweet. I do have to mention that I much preferred La Cubana maybe a year ago, when it seemed more authentic Cuban and the workers were hispanic and so warm and friendly - I would've given it 5/5 stars if it was the same! For the past year, it seems like management has changed, and that La Cubana is now trying to fit in more with the "hipster" culture of the surrounding area. To be honest, the food has been less flavourful and inconsistent since then. But overall, I still enjoy this place and I think it's a gem if you're ever in the area.
