Havana Sandwich Shop
2905 Buford Hwy NE, Atlanta, GA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Cuban institution has been a neighborhood anchor since 1976, serving up authentic sandwiches with generous portions and the kind of genuine hospitality that keeps people coming back for decades. The real magic happens at the counter, where the owner and her daughter's infectious warmth and impeccable organization make every visit feel like you're being welcomed into a family operation rather than just grabbing lunch. Whether you're squeezing in a quick bite or settling into the outdoor seating for a leisurely meal, the fresh-made Cuban sandwiches and traditional drinks deliver the real thing—no shortcuts, no pretense.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
