Panaderia Dona Neli

The extremely popular, government-owned Panaderia Dona Neli operates around the clock and sells excellent, freshly-baked breads and pastries. Arrive early to avoid lines and pick up products from the latest batch, or ask specifically for the most recently baked items when making a purchase.

Cafes

Coffee is an indispensable part of Cuban culture served at most (if not all) Cuban establishments - the world-famous "café Cubano" is essentially a shot of espresso with sugar added in the brewing process. Ice cream is a beloved local treat, and for breakfast, the customary combo is that of a "tostada" (toasted bread with butter) and cafe con leche, often accompanied by fresh fruit.
