Rum Cake Lady Cuban Cafe -Blue Ridge
205 W First St, Blue Ridge, GA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Blue Ridge, this Cuban cafe is a genuine slice of Havana that keeps locals and visitors driving back repeatedly, especially for the legendary Cuban sandwiches that inspire road trips from hours away. Beyond the coffee, you'll find an unexpectedly generous spread of gluten-free options, house-made pastries like their famous rum cake, and authentic dishes like croquettes and tamales that taste like they came straight from a Cuban kitchen. The warm, family-friendly vibe and thoughtful touches like packing tamales for the road home make it feel less like a cafe stop and more like visiting family who happens to make exceptional food.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Visited 5 years ago as a quick stop through town. We haven't stopped thinking the rum cake lady since. Finally made our way back and its as good as we remembered and has grown! The rum cakes are so good and moist. So glad to see the business thriving, it deserves all the praise…

Great Cuban food and definitely worth a stop. The chimichurri sauce was a standout. We liked it so much we took some home with us while on vacation. Everything was flavorful and authentic. The story behind how the restaurant got started was also really interesting and added to…
What an awesome find in Blue Ridge! So many gluten free options! The deserts were incredible. The Cuban coffee was yummmm, the plantains, bowl and Florida style Cuban sandwich were all exceptional! Can’t wait to come back!
Truly excellent Cuban sandwich. Delicious empanada, tamales, and green sauce (with a little heat). They packed the tamales could for the trip home and they reheat very well. The rum cake is wonderful. Well worth a stop if you're in town - worth a side trip if you're anywhere…
