Rumba Cuban Cafe

Crema's Take

This beloved Naples institution hits the sweet spot between serious coffee destination and full-service Cuban restaurant, where a expertly-pulled Café Cubano pairs just as naturally with their legendary Lechon as it does with a soft, craveable slice of cake. The warmth here runs deeper than the strong coffee—from the tender, juicy meats that reviewers can't stop raving about to staff members like Rosi who elevate service into genuine hospitality. It's the kind of independent spot where everything simply clicks, making it feel less like you're grabbing coffee and more like you're being welcomed into something special.

I had a lovely time. The atmosphere is great, the staff friendly and professional. The cake I had was soft and the coffee strong and delicious. I would highly recommend.

We loved our Cuban Sandwich, the pork was on point and the portion size was more than we expected! 👌Those mini Empanadas .. omg so delicious!! 😋 Plus I had my Café Cubano fix - the coffee was great. ☕️ Very authentic food and feel to this Cuban restaurant. So glad I had a chance to visit while in town.

Rumba Cuban Cafe was absolutely phenomenal, the kind of place that reminds you how good dining out can be when everything clicks. From the moment we sat down, the service stood out. Our server, Rosi, was friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food. With so much mediocre service out there, walking into a place like this is refreshing. I ordered the Lechón Asado, a classic Cuban pork dish, and it was outstanding. The pork was tender, deeply flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. It came with rice and black beans and a small side of red hot sauce. That sauce deserves special mention, mild but packed with flavor, it elevated every bite without overpowering the dish. The flavors across the plate were bold, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. For dessert, Rosi recommended Tres Leches, the traditional Cuban white cake with cream, but I went with my go-to, Flan de la Casa. It was served with shaved coconut and was perfect. Smooth, rich, not overly sweet, and finished the meal exactly the way a great flan should. Everything about this experience was excellent. Food, service, atmosphere, all on point. I can’t stress enough how good the food was here. Highly, highly recommend making a stop at Rumba Cuban Cafe.

Amazing food and, if it's possible, even better service! The meat (pork and chicken) was tender and juicy and very flavorful. The chicken was like nothing we'd ever had before! So good. Also one of the best Cuban Sandwiches Ive ever eaten! Very well balanced.

The BEST restaurant in Naples, and my favorite restaurant in the country. The food is all AMAZING. If I listed my favorites, it would just read like I was listing the entire menu! Try the Lechon, try the Cuban sandwich, chicken churros? Yes, please. Out of this world Ropa Vieja. The Palomilla Steak is not to be missed! The yuca, the moros, the beans—all amazing. They have my favorite sweet plantains on the planet. And if you thought I had good things to say about the food, let me also mention the service! Jorge and team are the best! I’ve been coming to Rumba for a decade and every time I stop in it’s like coming home to family. They instantly brighten my day!
