Rum Cake Lady Cuban Cafe -McCaysville
10 Blue Ridge Dr, Blue Ridge, GA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the charming border town of McCaysville, this family-run Cuban café revolves around the warm presence of its namesake owner, the Rum Cake Lady, who treats every visitor like kin while her sister works magic in the kitchen. Beyond the legendary rum cakes that draw travelers off the scenic railway, you'll find authentic Cuban sandwiches (the midnight sandwich is a must), crispy plantains, and a menu so generous it's hard to choose, all served in a genuine, unpretentious space perfect for lingering conversations over traditional Cuban coffee.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great spot for amazing tasting Cuban food! Visited the area from South Florida and was excited to stumble upon this gem. Food was excellent and staff was courteous. The Rum Cakes did not disapoint! Can't wait to return with the family 💯 🇨🇺
Nice little spot in a little no where town. Wife and I got the nachos, Cuban sandwich, and tamale. Food: Cuban was great. Didn’t care too much for the nachos, maybe because the wife didn’t get enough salsa, the chips are made from plantains I believe. Tamale was great as well.…
I LOVE this place! The Cuban sandwich was delicious and so were the yuca fries, tostones and rum cake! My friend was even able to get a Cuban sandwich with gluten free bread and a gluten free rum cake. Will definitely be going back any time I’m in the area.
